I just hope this remake will hold my interest.
OOT I have yet to beat on N64, It doesn't have the nostalgia factor for me like it does with most people. I've tried numerous times and I always start and stop in the same place.

Want this so bad. Still never play Ocarina before, will be nice to finally mark that one on my list of things to do in life.
I have to say, I've been playing Majora's Mask on VC recently, and these screens do look much improved over the N64 games. It's too bad they probably won't give MM the remake treatment too.
I've been craving another major Zelda adventure since I finished Twilight Princess and WindWaker (I played both games in one year :P). I never got a chance to experience Ocarina of Time for more than a couple of hours, so hopefully this will be my chance. Btw, this is what I think handheld Zelda games should be like, not the Phantom Hourglass/Spirit Tracks stuff! Heck, even the old gameboy Zelda games were better (IMHO).
3D or no, I just want to experience this game again without wincing at the blocky character models. This looks great!
But will I still be able to seam walk to behind Big Goron on Death Mountain?
Will the ceiling of the Temple of Time in the Chamber of the Master Sword still not render until I enter the room?
Can I still make unbreakable Deku Sticks?
Or all the sequence breaking glitches?
That stuff was the coolest part of the old OOT.

I don't know about that. As sure as this is a testing grounds for new, portable 3D Zelda adventures, I wouldn't be totally opposed to some other Zelda ports. -When- it sells well, Nintendo could churn out some ports while we wait for something original.
I wonder how well they could get Wind Waker to run on the 3DS...

One question that's been bugging me. Will you have to blow into the microphone to play the ocarina? because that was one of my favorite things about spirit tracks. It was fun to play with the flute. ;D
I'm in the same boat as Mr Holmes, Ocarina was just never my thing..
I have however played every console Zelda since OOT to completion, along with Minish Cap (which was AMAZING). Somehow OOT just never grabbed me.

I have to play through the WHOLE thing to unlock master quest? That's kind of bullshit. I really only wanted to play the master quest version seeing as that I played the re-release. You'd think they'd make that available from the start since I'm sure a lot of the people buying this have played it before.
Can't I just register my name as Zelda to unlock the thing? :P

If Nintendo hasn't removed most of the glitches, you can "cheat" your way to Master Quest in a few hours. XD
Okay, I know I've been complaining about this A LOT, but seriously, if they REALLY went through all that work building the game from the ground up, why is it STILL plagued with jaggies and flat textures? I will admit that it's an upgrade, but it's not an upgrade worthy of the 3DS... And before someone chimes in to say "Art style, mofo!", Mario Galaxy 1, 2, Sonic Colors and DKR. It's 2011 on a powerful handheld, there is just no excuse for jaggies.
The vines are still drawn directly onto the flat surfaces of dungeon walls. Eww. So much for 3D effects.
How has everyone never played this!? This came out when I was a younging and I've played it through. And it was awesome. OOT = best nintendo game ever IMHO.
The game that singlehandedly convinced me to want to make video games in the palm of my hands? What's not to love?
I played the shit out of that game when I was young, and I'm a little excited for it now, but then again it's 40 dollars man, why couldn't they just put the virtual console on the 3DS and you could buy it for like 10 bucks? It's a rip off dude! Same with StarFox 64 - 3DS
I'm not picking this up for the graphical update. The art style is nice, but things like Link's hands still being a solid block I believe could have been fixed if they were doing a full remake.
@KtMack23 In my case, I was in high school but 90% of my purchases went through my parents. Video games were always an expensive (and not that looked up by parents) item, so I was very lucky to have an N64, let alone some games (two) so I never got it. I borrowed it for a while from a friend but couldn't finish even half before having to return it, so I'm super excited to have a portable upgraded version.
@Holmes: I'm with you.
Ocarina was fun for a while, but it can't hold a candle to the earlier games in the series.

"As for the Master Quest content, you'll be able to access it as soon as you beat Ocarina of Time first. You have to earn it!"
That's stupid.
That's stupid.
I have high interest in it, but at the same time I may just wait it out. If it's just Ocarina of Time with upped graphics then I'll wait. But if they actually add in new and interesting stuff like a dungeon or two then I'll be more interested in buying it.
Two things.
One: you guys should try to post comparison screenshots of the original versus the 3DS version. It'd be a lot more convincing than just saying it looks better.
Two: Perhaps this is just me, but I have no problem using 3D during Face Raiders; why would I need to turn it off for aiming as well?

The glitches were definitely one of the best parts of OOT.
Grapple + Horseback = Fly!!!
Tilt cartridge up slightly + walk around guy blocking exit from village = Skip first dungeon and start the game without sword etc..!

I swear the one with scared Zelda on the horse looks EXACTLY the same as it did on the N64. And Link looks even more stupid when Saria gives him her Ocarina.
I will buy this and love it, but I'm having trepidation about getting all worked up about playing the same game on it's 4th platform. The new visuals are a plus I guess. Looking forward to the bosses. Barinade and Bongo-Bongo specifically.
Paperclip, don't hate. It really bothered me every time Link's panties flashed through his tunic every time he opened a chest, something they didn't fix for Majora's Mask. Looking at the gallery it looks fixed. This alone justifies the purchase.
What Holmes said. I've never finished Ocarina, but after playing some later Zelda games, just a thought of this remake makes my balls shrink in excitement.
I hope I'll get myself 3DS when Ocarina comes out.
Also:
I'm currently selling my kidney, so if you need one - let me know. It's $450.

I took a looong break from gaming after 16bit days, basically because I couldn't afford the new generation. Times were tough. During the Gamecube days I got a new computer that was able to run an N64 emulator, and I pirated away. OoT was the first game I finished on that emulator and is the main reason I was drawn back into gaming. This will be a must have.
Sweet, the Deku symbol on Link's shield is facing the right. Depending on which version of Twilight Princess you were playing, they didn't know WHAT they were doing.

The jaggies are nearly unavoidable. The 3DS isn't really that powerful, and certainly isn't powerful enough to run a "real" antialiassing solution. You have to be really creative to come up with decent AA on such weak hardware, when even console games don't recieve AA.

MR JH, a lot of people grew up on NES Zelda and went WOW when SNES version appeared and again double WOZZER with N64 adventure's this my friend look's like all those super nintendo moments wrapped up in one cool package can't wait....
There is really no excuse NOT to do the same treatment to Majora's Mask. That game deserves better after the releases being buggy and the game itself just not getting enough love to begin with. While I have my criticisms in terms of the amount of dungeons and slightly upset about the way the game saves and the 3 day cycling is done, its kinda like an arcade zelda where you can rebattle the bosses and its just got a great dark story. It stands out, and the great designs for monsters really needs a facelift like Ocarina of Time is now getting. I really REALLY wanna see a Majora's Mask remake that places true to that dark shadowed artwork that the game was designed by. Holy crap I will wet my pants multiple times if we get it!
