Curiosity Shop #042: Zelda Dungeon Mailbag

Hey guys. Well this mailbag is a little shorter than usual (probably about as short as it should be normally though), and the questions are fewer (9 this time), but I go more in-depth than usual. I personally find this to be a slightly better format than cramming as many as possible in, but of course I want to know if you agree. Enjoy!

Questions and timestamps:

(00:16) – When fighting Dark Link in Ocarina of Time, do you use the Biggoron Sword, Megaton Hammer, and Din’s Fire or do they make it too easy?
(01:41) – Since the 3DS has more power than a Playstation 2, could we see The Wind Waker or Twilight Princess on it?
(03:01) – The GameCube version of Twilight Princess was made first, so is that version’s map canonical over the Wii version’s?
(04:23) – If the Zora evolved into the Rito because they were freshwater creatures, then what about the Great Bay Zoras?
(06:32) – You’ve said you don’t think Ganondorf should have been thrown into Twilight Princess. What should have happened?
(07:31) – Why did Link and Zelda’s blonde hair colors change to brown in Twilight Princess?
(08:16) – When Ganondorf dies in Twilight Princess, why is he still standing up? Does it mean anything?
(09:15) – Do the aliens in Majora’s Mask have any background and do you think they might appear again?
(09:56) – Why are there no Gerudo in Twilight Princess despite the other races appearing and there even being a location with their name?

Be sure to submit your name/username and questions to our contact page, or email them to xx5terrorlord@earthlink.net for next week’s mailbag!

Can you guess the quote on the paper, the sound at the beginning, or any of the music? How about your thoughts? Do you use “cheap” methods to defeat Dark Link, do you think they’re cheap, and do you generally have trouble with that fight? Do you think we’ll see The Wind Waker or Twilight Princess on the 3DS? What could the standard Zelda formula for the 3DS be? Is the GameCube version of Twilight Princess’ map canonical? Why did the Zora evolve into the Rito? And why are there no Gerudo in Twilight Princess? Tell me in the comments!
