I played TP not that long ago (I had it on Wii, but this was my first time actually finishing it). I agree that it’s quite an easy game, but it was enjoyable throughout. The items were nicely varied and most of the dungeon puzzles were clever. The weirdness of the world reminded me a lot of Ocarina of Time. I’ve actually never played Majora’s Mask so I should give that a go sometime! If you’re on Steam Deck, I’ve heard a good option is patching the N64 version with HD textures (which may require a Windows system initially).
Thanks! I will take a look at that option. In regards to those kinds of windows utility, they normally run just fine with wine. I am surprised how many utilities just run perfectly and are able to patch games. I have used some utilities like this to patch wiiu games without any problems.
If you have access to it, I recommend playing the Majora’s Mask remaster on 3DS. I also tried to start the N64 version a few times and couldn’t stay motivated until I played the remaster.
I hope the game picks up for you! I remember enjoying the game a lot, the items were fun and that final boss was a blast. I also really liked the art style, though I can see why some people didn’t.
I haven’t played it since launch, but I’m really hoping they do a remaster for it soon. I’m surprised they did Skyward Sword before it…
Poor Wii U… I had forgotten they had a TP remaster for it. I hope they end up bringing it and the WW remaster to Switch or whatever console is after it.
The behind the scenes where he talks about the art style is really amazing. Like how he kept it as minimalist as possible but still having to show enough to capture details.
And the design choices on that Molotov scene, which lead to the removal of the sniper mechanic that didn’t fit.
Also all the consideration to resizing the game for mobile, and UI.
Probably one of my favorite behind the scenes in a long time.
I just started OOT a couple of days ago for the first time. After setting it to run 60fps and dual analog, it feels perfect. A fun adventure where every secret isn’t so obvious and leaves room for imagination. The game suprises you often. I even like how it looks after disabling the texture filters.
The fire sound of the torches are killing me though. The PC port has a sound switcher but i can’t find this annoying ear-tearing noise from it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AW6uTdDx7s8
Plan is to try Majora next. I’m probably going to hate it like you as i don’t really enjoy time-loop games.
I absolutely love this game. It was great because you have to do actual puzzles, which for sure gets annoying sometimes. But figuring how to fit everything together with the time constraints feel much more gratifying to succeed at. It also stops me from just endlessly running around doing random stuff for no reason like the Witcher or something 🙃. Different strokes for sure!
