Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D

[etecoon]

Yeah, the Ocarina songs in MM are just random notes =(

I agree that they're weaker overall but

tell me you aren't talking about song of healing there :/

Jabu jabu's belly looks a LOT better now.... I was pretty impressed with that.

Also, I am SO GOOD at Bombchu bowling.

I resent this statement. I like many of MM's Ocarina songs better than OoT.

Oath to Order is absolutely amazing. And the
Song of Healing>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Skyward theme
For songs that are backwards other songs.

The only weak songs imo were the Song of Time varients.

Speaking of the Oath to Order

Sheik is Zelda

(I had to, sorry.)

MQ Spirit Temple is hard ._.

 

[Zajice]

Any good vids that show off the general graphics and what places look like now?

 

[Gamingboy]

Should be getting it in the mail today or tomorrow.

 

[T-block]

lol I didn't mean all MM songs.

New Wave Bossa Nova and Goron's Lullaby are dumb imo. I do like Sonata of Awakening and Elegy of Emptiness though.

 

[Luigitoilet]

What?

Spirit Temple and Forest Temple have my favorite dungeon themes from the whole series (that I'm remembering at the moment, that is.) aside from the Sanctuary Dungeon theme from ALTTP. Of all of the games, OoT has the least forgettable dungeon themes, IMO.

Just played through the Forest Temple again. Not hearing what's so exceptional about that song. I like ambient music but I prefer the more ornate LttP/LoZ style composition for dungeon music I guess.

 

[etecoon]

I can appreciate either, but I definitely like forest temple a lot either way

water temple is also underrated

 

[Player-1]

I like most of the MM songs, I just like OoT songs better. Song of Healing was pro as well as oath to order. Song of Soaring was my least favorite because of how simple it was coupled with the fact that you play it every 10 seconds. Bossa Nova was my 2nd least favorite. I liked Goron's Lullaby actually, especially when the baby goron chimed in with that cutscene I thought it was great.

I understand. Maybe I should stick with Spirit Temple. However, I just like Forest Temple theme. It's very simple and atmospheric, but it's still better than a lot of the other dungeon themes in this series.

[GwJ]

I love the Forest Temple music. It's so frickin' weird. Also, it sounds like a girl from an anime is going "ooo ooo, ooo ooo" the entire time.

 

[ZIO]

Would I be the only one to think that was terrible?

 

[Chill]

I want this game so badly.

 

[Gamingboy]

I heard there are a few easter eggs that reference Majora's Mask in the game. Like, apparently

Spoiler

the Happy Mask Salesman has his MM masks- not counting Majora itself- on display in his shop, including his Mario one.

 

[Life]

^

Spoiler

I didn't see the Mario one.

Also, the room you find by hitting

Spoiler

Kakariko Village's ground

with the Megaton Hammer? Has a really cool water texture on the walls.

 

[Player-1]

The fishing pond looks amazing, it gets my vote for biggest improvement in graphics

 

[Luigitoilet]

I don't like some of the artistic decisions they made. Stuff is way too bright. Stuff like the Forest Temple and the Skulltulla House aren't half as creepy as they were on the N64 because they made the rooms so much brighter and less "fog".

 

[IYM!]

agree with you LT the forest Temple are a kind of creepy place, give it more light or bright is a bad idea

 

[The Fail Tracer]

Could anybody help me out? I'm in the fishing pond as adult Link, and I've been trying for forever to get one of the bigger fish... They follow my lure, but they never bite. What's going on?

(P.S. I'm trying to get the Golden Scale.)

 

[GwJ]

The Mario hat is in the shop, but it's obscured by what I think was a mirror. It's on the right side on the innermost shelf on the farthest position.

Also, it's hard to say it references MM since the HMS in OoT is the same guy as MM HMS. If anything, the MM HMS references OoT.

 

[Spire]

Original OoT

- Muslim chant in Fire Temple
- Ganondorf pukes red blood instead of green blood
- Star and crescent symbol in moving blocks and other things

^ All of that changed after Muslim protests

Some people proved that Nintendo changed the chant prior to release. Something to do with there actually being different versions out there. The first version of OoT didn't have the chant, but the second developed version had the chant and was actually the first one released. Its release angered some Muslims so their protest influenced Nintendo to go back to Ver. 01 (so to speak). Along with changing the chant, they changed the Star and Crescent (which was in every version) and addressed other concerns, i.e. the green blood.

I don't feel like finding a link so you can google it.

 

[Glöwworm]

Ah I see. I understand now.

Just keep going at it, they bite eventually. Make sure you vary the speed you move the lure at, I think there's an optimal pattern but I don't know what it is so....

 

[ZIO]

OoT never felt creepy to me. It's environment back at that time will hold a special place in my heart considering it to be my first foray into a 3D game besides Banjo-Kazooie (the atmosphere of that game was amazing too, even today). But this upgrade in art direction is one I can appreciate. It more or less coincides with that light-heart, innocent adventure Miyamoto envisions for this franchise yet still keeps the subtle realism set by the tone of the game.

The only place that would creep me out in this game would be the Well and Shadow Temple and its theme, but I haven't played those areas yet and haven't played them since my gray cart days. I hope they didn't remove the hands in the pool of green liquid at the bottom of the well, blood on the walls, and that freaky mini boss Dead Hand. The only places that have ever made me uncomfortable to be playing in, ever.

 

[Tacel]

About the Well, there is absolutely no blood. Even the Dead Hand isn't bloodstained anymore. I'm really disappointed. I feel that the removal of blood really deteriorated from it's original creepiness. I guess they wanted to keep it E or E10+. But I think they should have kept it the way it was and the way it was meant to be.

 

[Life]

The hands at the bottom of the Bottom of the Well are still there, as is Dead Hand. (I don't think this needs spoilered)

 

[Zajice]

Does anything in OoT need to be spoiler'd at this point?


It's like saying Snape killing Dumbledore is still a spoiler.

 

[ZIO]

I would be so mad right now if I knew who those people were.






Please tell me they aren't ponies . . . No, can't be. That's a kids cartoon, they wouldn't allow killing, would they?

 

[Zajice]

I lost.

 

[Lore]

I just got to the forest temple. This game is amazing, and I have no idea why it hasn't been getting perfect tens from IGN and other sites, especially when the original got perfect tens at most places.

yeah, but that was more than a decade ago.

I can play taps on the ocarina ingame. My life is complete.

[Lore]

That's true, but in like nearly every review that I've read, I haven't really heard any bad things about it.

For example, if you had just read IGN's review and ignored the score, you would have thought that they would have given it a perfect score.

And yet Ocarina of Time predated the Half-Blood Prince by 7 years.

Guys, do you think the Legend of Zelda will truly stand the test of time and be remembered for decades, if not centuries? I think there are a few contemporary stories that will never be forgotten and Star Wars probably tops the list. Surely Ocarina of Time won't be remembered, but "The Legend of Zelda" may. It'd be a sort of summary of the entire series versus any single story. Kind of like how the Arthurian Legend was told in many different ways throughout the land.

 

[Player-1]

Ocarina of Time is the best game ever in all of existence to ever meet the face of this world, if any game should be remembered it SHOULD be this game

 

[ZIO]

Rose tinted nostalgia goggles.

 

[etecoon]

majora's mask is better than OoT though

and more unique, OoT is a continuation of LTTP and WW and TP built on what OoT did(not necessarily in a good way). they aren't the most popular, but LA and MM are the most memorable games in the series IMO, the rest of them are too sameish

 

[GwJ]

I still think LA is the best game in the series.

Keep in mind that even now, the vast majority of the people who remember and know the Zelda name aren't thinking one lick about the story. That is NOT what is going to be remembered, besides "Green fairy boy fights evil pig thing".

oh and if you're just going to post stuff like "yeah but *such and such game* is better" take it to the appropriate thread.
