Ocarina of Time 3D to Include Master Quest

[Ikki]

I was like YAY when I found this out for the sake of extra content. I'm glad it's not just a remake (two?).

I hope they surprise us with something else, something new.

It is a tad odd in the video he says he doesn't know the release date.. It's June 7th o.o;

Some random person somewhere said it was June 7th. The only thing we know as a fact is that it's coming in June.

QUOTE(_Chaz_ @ Mar 6 2011, 10:52 PM) I would assume, if it's not another cartridge, that you'd have to beat the original mode first to unlock Master Quest (like in the first LoZ on the NES)?

In that case nintendo just lost a sale. I have never gotten past human form Ganon. The timing changes to hit the ball back is cheap ass shit.

Wat?
You can't beat the easy version, in case they don't add the harder version which you obviously couldn't beat either (given the fact that it's harder) from the beginning, you won't buy it?

I believe your logic is flawed.

It's not gamecube limited actually.
In japan it released on the N64 on some addon thingie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_64DD.

It started as it, but didn't get released there due to DD's failure.

I'm reluctant to bump a news thread from 2011, but it's a fairly quiet forum and you guys seem interested in the extra Zelda development done in the N64 era. So I thought I'd jump in with the actual story cos it's not well known anymore - all the documentation is on paper in things we used to call "magazines" ;-)

The legend goes like this: After OoT Nintendo had two Zelda projects: Ura Zelda and Zelda Gaiden...

Ura Zelda

Ura Zelda was supposed to expand Hyrule with new areas and events set after defeating Ganon. It existed because not all of the content planned for OoT would fit on the cartridge. The extra content was supposed to be released on the 64DD. So far as details go, the only concrete one was that Zora's Domain was supposed to thaw out. These days people say there is a cave under the water (ice) which would have allowed you to access one of the new areas. Back in the day we had our eye on the cave that you can see way up above the water but can't get to.

It's on record that the project was finished. I'm hopeful that one day Nintendo will release Ura Zelda as DLC (AOC) for Ocarina of Time 3D. Better yet, the N64 ROM will be leaked. Ideally both.

Zelda Gaiden

Zelda Gaiden was a whole new game. It became Majora's Mask. Some say that some of the ideas from Ura Zelda made it into Majora's Mask after the release of the game was cancelled. Others say that the dungeons went into Wind Waker. I don't know if there is a Nintendo source for this, but I probably used to know

Master Quest

Master Quest is a remixed version of OoT, originally available on GCN but running under emulation. The ROM will work in N64 emulators.

Good job digging up a thread from 4 years ago.

Seriously though, don't necrobump threads. Locking.
