I mean they could tone down the graphics and remove a few system hogging effects, but you'd just complain about that too.

Seeing as they've got the original source code they could always port it over instead of getting cute with emulators.

First of all Ocarina of Time works just fine and the GameCube is a lot more powerful than the N64 so I don't understand how it could have problems running an emulator. More than likely the problems with the slow down and freezing are just due to a quick and sloppy port.

The funny part of it is that they warn you when the game is loading up that there are problems with the sound when that is the least of the game's problems. Why didn't they also mention there was some nasty slow down in some areas and it has a tendency to freeze?

Oh has anyone else noticed that it looks like they fixed up the sprites for the items in both Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask? In the Wind Waker bonus disk the sprites looked very pixilated.

Well, if it is emulation, its actually very good emulation. Remember that if it was simply emulation then the visuals would still be in low-res, but they are not. Look at it this way, the slowdown may be about the the same as in the N64 version, but at least you get high-res. It was free, so we cant complain to much, but the OoT port was a much better one, almost no slowdown.

That's not necessarily true, especially for a 3d game that's rasterized in hardware.

I believe someone even went so far as to extract the OoT ROM from the Gamecube disc, which seems like fairly conclusive proof that the game is emulated.

I ordered Nintendo power over the phone, and the NOA rep. looked up my name, and my address from 1991 was still on file. It was the last issue i received. He said, 'I assume you've moved out by now". Pretty funny stuff. But anyway, he said about 10 days for the disc, and a month for the Mag.

Just wanted to add i'm one of the few people who actually think AOL is underrated. I always liked it.

Well it's been exactly half an aeon, but I finally got order confirmation of my Zelda disk. Only 2 more weeks to wait. I think I can hold out til then with Mario and Luigi.

Gather an army of Elves, Dwarves, and Men and we'll march to NOA in violent protest.

I need to do this soon. I have Mario & Luigi and Mario Kart: Double Dash now. And a Gamecube

So tomorrow. Or something.

Wow, the original Zelda is HARD. Anyone have any tips on not dying, because I spend about half my playtime in that game on the beginning screen.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #246 on:** January 05, 2004, 06:04:32 PM »

Well, isn't the beginning screen so classic and reeks of awesomeness?
At first site, it gives you that sense of "WTF am I?!"

Okay, here's a free tip:

When you first start the game, go in the cave and get the sword. The game is much easier with the sword.

Hehehe. lol

EDIT: By the way if you think LoZ is hard wait till you play AoL. Without a doubt the hardest Zelda game.

Berny · « **Reply #249 on:** January 06, 2004, 02:16:28 PM »

It shipped Dec 30 and arrived at my door today!

I am very happy indeed. Unfortunately I have homework tonight.
