Also, Obligatory Fan Film time.

lmao! At first I was like "meh.." and skipped a bit forward and then it became pure awesome!

Official Nintendo Employees don't have internet connection, cause it's a fad.

Majora is still Nintendo's greatest, most malevolent villain, a being of pure sadism wrapped in a shell of contradictions.

Ganon is nothing compared to it.

Ganon is nothing compared to it.

And Majora's Mask is to me the best Zelda game ever created. Nothing matches the perfect balance of exploration, puzzles, dungeons, bosses, story, and NPC's that actually mattered and played a huge role in the story. And the whole 3 days, time rewind, the moon, and masks! So fucking awesome. Seriously if this game was released before OOT or wasn't just looked as a direct sequel I think it would be praised far more. What an amazing achievement in gaming.

On the subject of Zelda timelines...

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　/ — TWW/PH — ST
SS — TMC — FS/FSA — OoT
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　\MM — TP — ALttP/LA — TLoZ/TAoL — OoS/OoA

That's my timeline. It's explain a bit in this video with annotations, and I plan on making a very in-depth finished timeline video before Skyward Sword comes out.

Sweet look forward to this. I haven't played the 2D handheld Zelda games and would love to see an explanation of the timeline since I never really understood or thought there even was one.

Do you think we might see it at GDC?

 

[Busaiku]

No.

 

[Futureman]

MM3D better happen.

How sweet will it be if the 3DS can play every Zelda except the GC/Wii installments?

 

[Regulus Tera]

Guys can anyone Zeldafy Trollestia for me?

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

MM3D better happen.

They'd have to add the statue saving feature to the JPN version. The original could never work as a portable game.

 

[Professor Beef]

Favorite Zelda Game: Majora's Mask, followed closely by Wind Waker and Link's Awakening. Best three games in the series in my book.
Favorite Dungeon: I don't remember enough about the dungeons in the games. It's been too long, sadly.
Favorite Boss: Snowhead Temple's boss in MM used to be my favorite, but then it switched to a tie between the final Majora fight and the Ganondorf fight in Wind Waker.

 

[PixyJunket]

Yeah, even if it's another remake, I'd be so down for a Majora's Mask 3D. I've only played the busted GameCube version and I don't think I ever finished it (made it through the four dungeons so if I didn't, I'm dumb). What I would really, really, really hope for, is some kind of Heart Piece locator, like the fortune teller from Twilight Princess, having eighty heart pieces to locate was stressful to me, heh.

 

[TheCongressman1]

Best sidekick:

 

[AniHawk]

Favorite Zelda Game: twilight princess. best dungeon design in the series
Favorite Dungeon: city in the sky. best dungeon in the series.
Favorite Boss: oot's ganon. not... the best boss fight in the series, but the most memorable. this one is here purely thanks to its amazing presentation.

Yeah I don't think even Skyward Sword has strayed so far from the Zelda cliche' as Majora's Mask did......I miss that game :C

 

[Anth0ny]

Yet it got bashed for that very same reason.

MM was ahead of it's time. They should have whored out OOT while it was hot rather than change the formula so rapidly. Now everyone wants change, back then all they wanted was more OOT.

 

[Exterminieren]

Best Zelda Game: Has to be Wind Waker. If it had excised the Triforce Hunt and added a dungeon or two, it would be one of the finest games ever created.
Best Dungeon: Arbiters Grounds. Love a Spinner.
Best Boss: Argorok (City in the Sky) So EPIC.

 

[Gravijah]

Best Zelda: twilight princess/alttp you can't make me choose.
Best Dungeon: probably city in the sky
Best Boss: goht or stallord or blizzeta or argorok or majora

 

[shadyspace]

So what's the word on ST's "New" Hyrule. Is there any speculation that other games take place there in the future?

I don't "bash" it for being so different in structure, but it's design isn't appealing to me.

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

The toon universe is going full-blown steampunk if they don't end it with ST.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Best Zelda: Wind Waker
Best Dungeon: Forest Temple (Adult, OOT)
Best Boss: Majora or Molgera

Your face's design isn't appealing to me.

 

[Medalion]

Wrong.

Damn

KATSUYA TERADA INCOMING

OoT is the best Zelda, Gharahahifhahaim sucks, and Aonuma ruined the timeline.

I'm done here.

 

[Gravijah]

basically because you suck.

 

[Cow Mengde]

Damn

I take it you missed the epic thread then?

I like the art in the Nintendo Power Zelda comics.

 

[Synless]

I've been meaning to get this off my chest. The new Zelda is the ugly as fuck, especially after the super hot TP Zelda.

Nope, I recall the thread... and that Zelda Williams tweeted about NEOGAF several times

you are a great person.

 

[Professor Beef]

It's dat nose.

 

[AceBandage]

Disagree.

 

[Kjellson]

Best Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Best Dungeon: City in the Sky
Best Boss: Argorok

Most Overrated Zelda: A Link to the Past

 

[Hot Coldman]

New Zelda seems more fun than the boring TP one at least

 

[Gravijah]

ss zelda looks like she has a cat nose. they should have given her cat ears and stuff.

The whole FIVE MINUTES of game time we got to see her.

No, I think the 3 day system is a wonderful idea, from a scenario perspective. But I do have issues with it when it comes to designing the game. Focuses on sidequests, which are hard to find and get started as well as following some up, without a guide it's pretty hard to know where and when do you have to be. Pacing is also dictated by the 3 day system, making you choose on weather to follow up on sidequests (which you can reach a dead end if you don't have everything necesary) or tackle the main game and dungeons that also lead to new sidequests.

I get that the game's theme is repetition, but it wears thin on me, and tries to fix it with bite sized quests most of the time. The other theme, healing is marvelously done, second to none in the medium, it's emotionally draining for sure. Just wonderful.

But with it, comes the idea of transformation masks, which I'm not a big fan of. All this seperate new mechanics, only lead to a much more segmented series of puzzles and gameplay aspects. Not sure if I'm explaining myself well, think a good parallel is the spinner from TP.

I'm glad it exists, has a distinct flavour of it's own, but people crying foul on Zelda's "traditional" aspect, just rub me the wrong way. Tradional, can be have a take on it's own like WW shows, which lots of people just confuse it by just being a unique visual flavour and an "unfinished project".

I think it's the fucken hair, no girl(real or in game) (that i can remember) looks good with bangs.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Exactly! Them deciding to only have her in the game for 5 minutes was boring

 

[Synless]

Disagree.

No, just no. She looks like some average plain Jane, nothing special about her at all.

It's the hair, the nose, and dat mouth, each of those features makes her ugly.

 

[Exterminieren]

ss zelda looks like she has a cat nose. they should have given her cat ears and stuff.

oh god WHAT HAVE YOU DONE.

 

[Gravijah]

yes. i am happy.

basically, how you play MM is

beat the 3rd dungeon ->do all the sidequests-> play the rest of the game

when i played it, there was very little actual repetition.

 

[BY2K]

It's the hair, man. The hair.
