So it isn't launching in Australia where it is for everyone else?

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #101 on:** April 19, 2011, 02:12:29 PM »

I'm guessing that is true.

In case it hasn't been posted here this game is going to have the Master Quest game. Also it has a Boss Challenge mode where you can go and fight the bosses in succession.

Here's the Link so you can see my Pie in the Sky outline and back and forth with NWR staff clarifying the site gets European press releases.

Yep, this is what is going to eventually have me shoveling out 250 bones.

Can't wait for this! I don't think the original looks bad enough to be unplayable, like most ps1 games. The game seems to upscale well on my tv. I do welcome this update though, to bad the colour palette was messed with a bit.

Saw this posted on Neogaf. A new trailer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NR1pdOX_gQE Thought I would link it here for anyone who hasn't seen it.

I'm really loving the new graphics. That trailer made me badly want to play this game again from one of the 3 GC discs I have it on, but I'm going to wait for the 3DS version.

I haven't replayed Oot since I got my 4 Zelda game disc for game cube.. It's been close to a decade now. So I have been fighting the urge to replay it, waiting till I get my 3ds copy.

The most common complaint I've seen is the lack of changes to the soundtrack. Sure, they could've gone with orchestrations as they suggest or just remixing them, as the Star Fox 64 theme is, but the original soundtrack is great so it's not that big a deal to me.

Certainly can't wait to get this one.

Ceric · « **Reply #109 on:** May 03, 2011, 12:21:30 PM »

I would hope it at the very least by cleaned up a little.

Adrock · « **Reply #110 on:** May 03, 2011, 07:08:58 PM »

Link doesn't have individual fingers. WTF is this? Not a dealbreaker, but it shows the lack of effort put into remaking one of the most beloved and popular games of all time. Seems like a wasted opportunity.

I just hope that when you get the Giant's Knife, Link doesn't hold it in one hand when you hold down the R button yet still doesn't raise his shield. That always bothered me. Clearly he can hold the sword in one hand, so why can't he hold his shield in the other?

Because it's the balance (or penalty, if you will) to using the Giant's Knife.

Adrock · « **Reply #113 on:** May 03, 2011, 09:52:10 PM »

I think she's taking issue with Link's animation while holding the shield button. Link holds the Giant's knife with one hand when he should be holding it with two hands because the game tells you it's too heavy to hold with one hand. That was an odd choice.

We got our review copy in today. I'm about to meet Princess Zelda (feels like the very first time!). Any questions, post them here. I'll try to respond.

When you beat the water temple, tell us if Zora's Domain becomes unfrozen!

Have you encountered the orchestrated music yet, any new music? I know in a recent Iwata asks there is supposedly something in the game that is orchestrated.

Ceric · « **Reply #117 on:** June 02, 2011, 10:24:26 AM »

How is the animation?
Any points where you're looking at it and going "This is definitely better than I remember."
Any points where your sure something is different?
Is "Hey, Listen" still in?
Is the field still super barren?
Is the 3D done well or just sorta there?
Is playing it an act of Muscle Memory now?

NWR_Neal · « **Reply #118 on:** June 02, 2011, 12:21:35 PM »

GoldenPhoenix - Read that right before I started playing, but haven't noticed anything yet. Only just got to Kakariko Village. About to dive into more of it today.

Ceric - Animation is good. I really love the improved art style, and there have been many times where I've been impressed by how it looks. It's like a really distinct memory that's better than you remember.

"Hey, Listen" is still in there.

Hyrule Field is still barren.

3D is really nice. Particle effects are where it stands out the most, though I didn't realize how many moments there were in the game that are gimmicky 3D moments. There are a lot "tossing things at the screen" and "things coming out at you," though with the way the 3D works on the 3DS (more like a diorama that you're looking into as opposed to the screen reaching out to greet you), it's not mind-blowing. The 3D is just really nice.

It's been several years since I've played it, but I did get to Hyrule Castle Town in about an hour, which I feel is outrageous.

how do the climbing vines look? they were the ugliest part of the original game.

The look a lot better. I'll take a video at some point in the next two days and show it off, just for you. Though, for some odd reason, we can only take 30-second clips.

Halbred · « **Reply #121 on:** June 03, 2011, 03:16:12 PM »

Startin' to want this game.

Do you have a special 3DS that allows for Video?

NWR_Neal · « **Reply #123 on:** June 03, 2011, 04:01:08 PM »

No, but I can use a regular ol' camera to show off the game mildly clumsily.

Mop it up · « **Reply #124 on:** June 03, 2011, 10:31:47 PM »

When you get the Giant's Knife, can you tell me if Link still holds the sword using one hand when you hold the shield button?
