  1. I'm nearing the end of Majora's Mask. Got all the temples done, and all the side quests I wanted. I reflected a little on the times when I got stuck and needed to look up what to do (across both OoT and MM).

    - The first one is mechanics that are poorly tutorialized. Not knowing how to use some of the tools at your disposal means, that the solution for a puzzle is just not going to appear to you. If a certain interaction between mechanics has never been properly established before, then it does not exist in the puzzle solving process, even if it appears "logical" in hindsight. I didn't know you could set Deku Sticks on fire to light torches. The tutorial text for them highlights their use as a weapon, which to me immediately made it an irrelevant item.

    - Needing to interact with an NPC in a specific way or at a specific time to progress was probably the single most frequent instance of having to look up something for me. NPC interactions don't really follow consistent logic that you can deduce from mechanics that you learned. They are a form of "needing to read the designers mind", and without some hint, are very easy to miss.

  3. I have a $10 certificate expiring soon at Best Buy. It sure would be nice if #Nintendo would get around to announcing the release date and pre-order price for the #NintendoSwitch2 #Zelda #OcarinaOfTime remake. :linkdab:

  8. Seen a lot of comments about the #Zelda #OcarinaofTime remake getting an E10+ rating and how it may tone down some elements.

    Yeah, that’s probably not happening. You know what else got that rating? #TearsoftheKingdom with everyone’s most horrifying Zelda mini boss…

  12. I'm almost done with the game, and I only now notice that all the stairs are just a flat texture lmao. It's a pretty good one though, had me fooled good until I panned the camera a certain way.

  14. So even before I started playing I was vaguely aware that the Water Temple was kinda hated by a lot of people. I just played through it myself for the first time and ... it's my favorite dungeon in the entire game so far? Seriously this place is fucking cool. I loved scooting around with the iron boots and the hook shot and messing with the water levels. I only got stuck once, because I didn't realize part of the wall was actually a box you could push which was hiding a key I really needed (though I did figure it out eventually).

    So my question is, what's with the water temple hate?

  16. Really was struggling to come up with a memorable tune for the scarecrow, that was also possible with the five notes the game gives you. But I did eventually find one that worked perfectly!

  18. Custom piano arrangement of the Hyrule Field theme from Ocarina of Time. I have been working on this for months, happy with the results! Are you excited for the upcoming remake?

  20. Oh wow, I just won the Treasure Chest Shop minigame first try, just by guessing which chest would "feel random" each time, and basically won 5 coin flips in a row. Where is this kinda luck when I'm playing TTRPGs??

  24. So I came across this begging child, asking for the contents of a bottle. I still had my bottle of Lon-Lon milk. It is a very useful item, but I figured why the hell not, lets be kind. Next thing I know, Link presents the bottle of milk to the child and ... proceeds to chug it himself, wiping off his mouth self satisfied. I didn't know he had this much contempt for the poor.

    (video is a re-enactment on emulator, since I can't record a 3DS)

  26. After getting to Goron City, I was tasked with venturing into Dodongo Cavern and freeing it up for the Goron to have their rock food back...

    The puzzles were pretty good. Though there is a golden skulltula I can't get to... I think I may need to return to the dungeon later to pick it up

  28. CW: Question nerd sur Zelda OOT

    Ok j'ai une question pour les fans de #Zelda, vous allez m'aider à me débarrasser d'un truc qui me perturbe depuis que je suis gosse et que j'ai joué à OOT
    Quand on veut obtenir le saphir Zora, on doit récupérer une lettre de Ruto au Lac Hylia, où elle affirme avoir été avalée par Jabu-jabu. Quand on la rencontre en vrai, elle dit ne pas voir de quoi on parle, que ça fait longtemps qu'elle vient dans le ventre de Jabu et affirme ne pas avoir écrit celle lettre
    Je sais pas pour vous mais ça me paraît assez cohérent avec le perso, ce qui laisse une question : d'où vient cette lettre ?

  31. An apparent Japanese magazine page for the #Zelda #OcarinaOfTime remake was found with a QR code pointing here:

    Probably incidental, the campaign breadcrumb is “2026summer_software-lineup”, though the digital version of Prime Remastered was shadow dropped…

  35. This is insane. Literally playable Mario in #Zelda #OcarinaofTime as an equippable item:

    When I talk about mods get crazier and crazier, this is a prime example.

  37. I headed to Hyrule Castle after saying good bye to Saria, and managed to get past the guards. After talking to Zelda, Impa called me a courageous boy
    Then I went to find Saria again to learn her song!

  40. Improving the camera! 🎥

    Working on a system that makes the camera aware of its environment.

    See how it picks up on cramped spaces and moves closer!
