I'm surprised nobody's mentioned that not only is this game available on Steam, it's available for $20 less than the console versions. That's how I got it and I've been having a blast with it. I definitely recommend playing with a controller, though, and it might end up costing more than...

Probably as soon as they figure out how to remove and prevent the installation of homebrew software without breaking compatibility with any legitimate hardware and software. Some of the latest system updates were solely attempts to block homebrew software, and they were broken so quickly that...

I'm a fan of the 3DS, but I don't know if it'd be worth it to get it just so you could play one downloadable game. How long would it be until you could get more games for it?

I don't know if I'd say A Link to the Past or Zelda 2. The former pretty much perfected the Zelda formula while the latter took the series in a new and unique direction that I happened to enjoy quite a bit.

No he hasn't. "We are considering the idea" is not the same as "it is definitely happening".

Umm... I thought this thread was about Ocarina of Time?

I went through and beat both quests after getting the game again through the 3DS Ambassador program. I have no idea how you're supposed to find some of that stuff without a map or guide, especially in the second quest.

It's gotta be this guy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KALNArzO1SA&t=1m30s I love the way he seems completely uninterested at first, then you say you want to play and he totally gets into it, then the game ends and he seems uninterested again.

Not necessarily. The previous iterations of DS had limited memory and processing power. The 3DS has higher hardware specs allowing for better graphics and smoother gameplay, not to mention the analog circle pad for smoother control than you could get with the D-pad or attempting to simulate...

I vote for Ganon in Adventure of Link. Even in his death his influence is seen in the world, and should his followers be successful in beating Link, he rises from the dead. He wasn't captured or banished to another plane of existence, he was dead, and considering how difficult the game is, he...

Yeah, who needs those new dungeons in the remade Final Fantasy games, or the color dungeon in Link's Awakening DX, or the Palace of the Four Sword in A Link to the Past on GBA, or the new songs in the PSP release of Gitaroo Man, or the new play modes in Resident Evil: Deadly Silence, or the new...

Oh snap, I got negative reputation for my post. "Wrong.Controls were not stiff and puzzles were puzzling" I'd like to defend my position. Maybe stiff wasn't the best term to use, but they're definitely restricting, especially compared to later games. In the original Legend of Zelda you can...

I haven't played the DS or Oracle games so I can't judge them, but of the ones I've played I'd have to go with the original. Maybe I've just been spoiled by the newer games, but I don't think it holds up very well at all. The "puzzles" basically boil down to bombing every wall and burning...

I'm going to assume you don't know much about programming, then, because they sure can be fixed. Once you find a problem, you figure out what causes that problem to the point where it can be repeated. Once you can repeat the problem, you step through the source code to figure out what changes...

http://earthboundcentral.com/2011/04/shigesato-itoi-discusses-mother-4/ Sorry guys, not gonna happen.

All-Stars on Wii was just lazy. They put what would have been an $8 Virtual Console game on a Wii disc, added a basic booklet of information and a compilation CD where half the tracks were sound effects, and sold it for $30. They didn't even use the version of All-Stars with Super Mario World...

I think you may be misunderstanding. Axel is against remakes, but supports ports. This thread is against ports. As for whether it's for or against remakes is down to the individual.

Definitely blue. Pale blue, sure, but still blue. His sword, though... now that's so white it almost disappears into the forum background.

The Cane of Byrna. Most of the time I forget it even exists, and I usually just use the Magic Cape instead.

I have a few problems with this "cycle." First, it seems odd to say "this cycle will only come into effect once Skyward Sword is released." Doesn't that go against the very nature of a cycle being a repeating pattern? Second, if you turn it back a generation, you introduce A Link to the...

I don't think you'd have much of a case. Zelda's been under a sleeping spell since before the game began.

There's a paradox in one of the Master Quest dungeons, too. At one point you make a chest appear as an adult and you have to return as a child to get it.

There will be 20 games, 10 for NES, 10 for GBA. The NES games are out now. The GBA games are coming out later this year, five of which have been announced: Metroid Fusion, Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, WarioWare Inc., and Mario Vs. Donkey Kong. So far...

I think you mean Mercenaries, Revelations isn't out yet. Unless you're from the future...

Everything moves between games, really. In LttP, Hyrule Castle was at the center of the map, Death Mountain to the north, Lake Hylia to the southeast, Kakariko Village to the west. In OoT, Hyrule Castle was to the north, Death Mountain to the east of it, Kakariko Village south of Death...

There was a feature length Zelda fan movie called The Hero of Time ( http://www.theherooftime.com/ ). Nintendo made them take it down, but you can still download the movie's soundtrack from the site. It has some good arrangements in it. Don't worry about it not being available any more, it...

I vote for Zelda 2's Link. He sees a locked door and says "Screw that crap, I'mma turn into a fairy and fly through the keyhole!" No other Link has done that.

Between the two NES games, AoL is definitely my favorite. In the original, you didn't exactly have "puzzles" as much as you had trial-and-error pushing blocks and bombing walls to get through dungeons. In AoL, you have to figure out which spells to use in which situations. Not as complex as...

All they do in LttP is decrease the damage you take. If you're good at avoiding damage, it should be no problem to skip them.

If you were playing the GameCube version, then I guess you got lucky. If you were playing any other version, then you're fine since they haven't been known to crash. The GameCube version crashed on me right after beating Snowhead Temple. It showed the cutscene with everything thawing out...

http://reasoningwithvampires.tumblr.com/ I think she explains it better than I could.

Reasons for it: - Enhanced controls (motion control aiming, extra item slot, touchscreen menu navigation, key items like ocarina always available, etc.) - Reprogrammed specifically for the system (no audio glitches or crashes like the Wii Virtual Console and GameCube ports, no trying to force...

They mirrored everything because it was easier than re-animating Link to be right-handed.

Even if they haven't taken their system online yet, Europeans can still become Ambassadors. It doesn't say what you have to do with the receipt, though, so assuming you can't download the games once they go live, your best bet would be to contact Nintendo through their customer support email.

Expect to spend a lot of time downloading these. There's no bulk download feature so you have to repeat the process for each game. Menu - Settings/Other - Your Downloads - find the game and "redownload" it - end up back at the eShop home screen

http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/3ds/en_na/3dsambassador.jsp?menu=how&submenu=ctr-ht-amb-lookup Enter your 3DS' serial number. It'll tell you if you're eligible for the free games or not.

Does Link have some kind of degenerative brain disorder? Seriously, I can swing sticks around just as well now as I could seven years ago, why can't he!? Naw, it doesn't bother me when people make fun of it. I do it myself. I still enjoy the games, though. If they don't like it, that's...

Definitely over-blowing Easter eggs. GBA LttP - 12/03/02 Minish Cap - 11/04/04 Capcom helped with both. I highly doubt they would remake a game that they had already released for the same system.

Super Mario Advance: Super Mario Bros. 2 - 03/21/01 Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World - 12/14/01 Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island - 09/20/02 Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 - 07/11/03 I'm not sure I understand your reasoning. The N64 is one year older than you. I've...

I got stuck in the Spirit Temple. There's a big difference between going against the player's expectations (which I felt the other temples did well) and breaking the rules (which is what I felt they did with the Spirit Temple). That was the only part I needed a guide for. There was another...

Tough decision here... I like Tatl's bell more than Navi's "HEY! LOOK! LISTEN!" On the other hand, Tatl's kind of a jerk at times. On the other other hand, Tatl actually has some character, while Navi mostly just tells you where to go and points to stuff. I think having an interesting...

If it was uncalibrated, then they uncalibrate quite easily because the Nintendo rep had me calibrate it right before playing.

I'm going to have to go with a tie between deku pipes and goron drums. Originally I wasn't going to include the drums because I'm used to drums being a percussive instrument rather than melodic, but then I did a search and discovered that melodic drums are a real thing. A real awesome thing...

Level 2, huh? I'm not sure if it was used in that dungeon, but I know there are some places where Once you get the dungeon's item, you should be able to do that just fine. The only other thing I can think of that might throw someone off is and that doesn't need a dungeon item.

I got to play the game at PAX, and honestly... I wasn't impressed. I did like the graphic style, and there was some potential for good dungeons, but the controls didn't feel very intuitive at all. Maybe it's just because I was thrown into the middle of a dungeon level rather than going...

I can't speak for OoT3D since not only has it already been made, but this issue doesn't apply to it, but when it comes to MM, there's a reason. There have been two ports so far - one on the Collector's Edition disc for GameCube, and one on the Wii Virtual Console. Both have sound glitches and...

I had almost forgotten about this guy. If you're into the really retro stuff and don't mind some creative usage of sampling, this guy does some awesome remixes: http://www.theicaruskid.com/ Also, his SoundCloud page has a few more songs to sample than his main page's player...

See, Ocarina of Time is a cheese pizza. That's pretty freakin' sweet. Ocarina of Time 3D takes that cheese pizza and puts canadian bacon on it. You might think canadian bacon is crappy, but other people like it better than just plain cheese. You enjoy your cheese, and we'll enjoy our...

Actually, it was Saria's song, which makes it more interesting because you never actually learned that song in Majora's Mask. Overall, I didn't think they were too scary. The jump scare got me, but I don't count jump scares because they're the cheapest form of scare there is. Adorable...

The latest game I acquired was Sonic Advance 2 so I'd have all three Sonic Advance games. I got it by trading in two Classic NES Series GBA games that I never played. I don't have a clue how I got those to begin with, so it was totally worth it. As for an actual purchase, Elite Beat Agents...
