    Iwata: Of course, the Nintendo 3DS version of Ocarina of Time is crammed with interesting things that weren't in the Nintendo 64 version

    They're probably just talking about Master Quest.

    But I also forsee some minigames made for the 3DS. It's not like they can't just stick a new location in Hyrule Field somewhere, and the desert area is basically a gigantic blank slate to stick things in.

    One cool thing would be adding a photography quest like in WW, that also acts as a model viewer and a little extra info on every character and enemy.

    Also the ability to hold more than 3-4 pictures at a time

    Could be that he was only talking about the Master Quest. Could be that he was talking about little things like stocking that shop from the earlier screens. Could be that there are 20-30 OoT-themed minigames like there were for Mario 64 DS (which would be pretty cool, that was a quality collection).

    I spent SO much time in that casino, playing Poker...

    I wish it had Solitaire.

    Still, I loved dealer Luigi with Toad serving drinks in the background. I want a whole game with that scenario.

    ...er, but getting back on-topic, I wonder what sort of minigames they could do...

    It's pretty easy to spot a reseal these days, but that's only because the machines commercially available are about the level of quality as the ones manufacturers used back in the N64 days.

    So, I guess you probably couldn't tell the difference. I guess it doesn't matter if it's in great condition. Shit, why didn't you buy it?

    $170 is a lot of money, and the game itself is not worth that price when you can get it cheaper when the 3DS version comes out. You would have to be a crazy go nuts collector to even consider buying that. I don't speak for UV, but I for one wouldn't have even entertained the notion of buying it at that price.

    Kinda wish I was into Zelda pre-OoT. A cousin brought it over one day about 1 year after launch and I instantly started buying up anything Zelda. It was too late to get the gold cartridge though :(. The holographic Majora's Mask cartridge almost made up for it, was there even a regular version of that one?

    I have a gold/hologram of MM, and a regular gold of Ocarina.

    I'm kind of excited for skyward sword but I think I've had my fill of Zelda games, I didn't even finish Twilight Princess.

    I just got MM on VC .... I can't find the lost Fairy in the first 5 minutes of this game. It's already pissing me off lol

    LttP and WW for life.

    and I have a sneaking suspicion I'll be adding SS in there too. It just appeals to me already.

    The more I see of Skyward Sword's style, the more I really like it. I can't wait to see it in motion on my television set. I only regret it won't be in HD.

    But then, even Mario Galaxy looked fantastic on my TV, so this should too.

    Yeah, I really like the Skyward Sword art style. It seems to strike an excellent balance between Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, weighing more heavily on the Wind Waker side.

    It just looks so unique to me.

    Also, this isn't official artwork, but is pretty well done.

    That is a shame you guys, its pretty good stuff! Summed up:
    You and Midna burst into the thrown room of Hyrule Castle where Ganondorf is sitting in the darkness all brooding and shit. Midna decides to be really cocky and gives Ganondorf some lip. Ganons all "you better step off bitch, my magic is mad powerful!" and he throws her around a bit and before Midna can stop him, he takes possession of Zelda.

    Here you have to play tennis with the energy ball she attacks you with until you get one set point. Then Midna puts on the three Fused Shadows and forces the possessed Zelda back onto the thrown and the next thing you see is that Zelda is revived and then Ganon shows up again as a huge menacing looking demon boar. You have to transform into a wolf, wait for him to charge at you, and then use Midna to put him to a hault with the hand that emerges when you are holding down B and throw him aside. Then when he is on his side you have to leap at his underbelly and render your sharp fangs into his flesh. You do this a few times and then there is a cutscene that reveals that Ganon might have taken out Midna . . . and then the next phase.

    Now Ganon is on horseback and Zelda is with you, you are both also on horseback, and she aims at him with light arrows as you attempt to get close and slice into him. Hit him about three times and he falls to the ground, starts laughing at you like he does in Wind Waker, and then you get trapped inside one of those force field things with him and must engage in hand to hand combat. You beat him here and then win the game and all is sunshine and rainbows and peace returns to Hyrule. Hooray!

    Yeah the ending of TP was quite good.

    I mean, I guess bigger picture it didn't have anything quite as memorable as the end of WW when
    Zelda stabs Gannon in the fucking head
    but it was still excellent for its own reasons.
