The problem with the 3DS version is the dumbed down Water Temple and Final Battle versions.
Damn, the Water Temple is for babies.

Wait, what? I was actually thinking of getting this on 3DS to relive the experience. Why would they change the temples?!?

you can not be serious..

It's his opinion, man! Besides, the controls and graphics aren't amazing or anything! I wouldn't consider the gameplay to be "broken" though..


That, and the two major things I hated abotu that game were two things Egoraptor brought up: 

1 - Everything is waiting. While playingI was just waiting and waiting and waiting and getting so impatient because it seemed so many enemies were just "hang around and wait while the enemy sidestepped around you". Then there's all the stupid dialogue boxes that annoy the shit out of you, and just everything seemed annoyingly frustrating.  

2 - The most poignant thing he said in the entire video was "I know that's the nature of 3D, but if it doesn't work in 3D you change it.  If the formula doesn't work, you change the formula."  And I think much of this game applied to that.  HAving enemies jump on you from where you couldn't see, having the camera be so shitty, and not being able to see or aim at some things was just needlessly frustrating. I realize those are zelda tropes, and I Realize many of them were fixed in the sequels, but if you can't make it work, don't do it.  It's not right that this game gets unreal praise despite the fact that so much of what it did just didn't work, simply because some of its changes to the third dimension resulted in some pretty damn good upgrades (namely the Z-targetting combat)

Just wait until you get to the Water Temple...


It's been simplified in the remake, I hear.

Sorry for letting the thread without updates, but I am really having almost no time to play it since I started it, so I'm really at the first part of the game with not much to say yet.

But to people worried with the graphics aging badly, I'm finding them amazing, I didn't played it in 1998 but I have played a lot of games even older than this before and I know that was really good to 1998 standarts. Note: playing the N64 version.

But the main point is that the game really seems to have an amazing felling into it, I really liked it so far, and the music is too very good until now. (and Navi is really annoying ).

I don't know how long the game is, but I'll not try to rush into it, I wanna experience the fullest of it, as I always try to do with the games I play.

I'll try to give some updates when I play a little more of it, maybe I can play a little more later.


Make sure you play with a Rumble Pak. ;)

Maybe he missed a disclaimer, *by todays standards?

He could be serious.

So I stopped there, I'll try to play some more. But the game is being great until now, I just wish Hyrule Field itself had more things to offer me (maybe I just didn't found it yet), but is cool being there and seeing the castle and the mountain far away, they look cool.

Don't get your hopes up, Hyrule Field is a big load of emptiness.

Yea, there is quite literally nothing to do in Hyrule Field.

That's sad =/

not completely true..there are some hidden underground areas and when you play as grown up Link there will be more things..

"Hidden underground areas", in other words: just a hole with some useless chest usually containing either bombs or 5 rupees.

It's hard to recall anything worthwile doing in Hyrule Field apart from the Poe quest... which is really boring by the way.


well I loved it

I respect his opinion but for its time graphics and controls were amazing nothing comes as close its simply a fact..

yeah and broken gameplay...*_*

Yeah, I really don't get what he meant by "broken gameplay"..


By broken gameplay, he could mean like Final Fantasy 8. Where you just don't know where to go, an you keep trying everywhere but can't progress, because you somehow overlook what you needed to do to progress. I've done so myself in Ocarina of Time, plus there an area in the game where they only have arrows to guide you in the 3DS version only, which would be another example of broken gameplay on the non-3DS version.

Dont expect to much because you were hearing so much praise (it will make you just see little flaws easier)

and dont forget its "old". It lacks hand holding compared to modern games.

Also think about the year it came out and always think stuff like (first real 3D 360° adventure game. Day night cicles were not common. First game with Z-targeting (enemy targeting) that works like in most modern games etc etc.) Know about the things this game did for gaming.

Keep those 3 things in mind and you will have a great time.


Revisionist history much? Tomb Raider says hello.

DPAD has 8 directions keyboard also has. So no 360° movement at all. TombRaider 1+2 had no analog stick support.
