Zelda Masterquest

[ZeroCool51]

This game is cool and weird. The levels are completely different and there are cows in walls. I have not been to the water temple yet but imagine it will be extremely difficult. I want to know if there is a point to the man who races you to the forest and always beats you by one second? I hope there is since there was not one in the orignal Ocarina of time.

[GameKinG]

The man that goes from like, guredo valley to the forest? He will always beat you no matter how fast you are, and he was in the original.

[Ginkasa]

Its always by one second I think....

Here is an interesting thing I just picked up on...this dosent have to do with master quest, but both games(at least I assume its the same with both games) You know that 10 second load time at the begining? Well, that loads the ENTIRE game. Thats right, you can open the disc cover, and play to your hearts content, and it will NEVER tell you to close the disc cover, unless you try to save. I thought that was pretty impressive.:cool:

I think duffman knew that. He was just wondering if there was a point of having him in the game, and maybe he does have a point in the Master Quest game.

I think if you try to go from one "area" to another, like entering or leaving the Goron place, I think it tells you to close the disc cover. But I will go check sometime soon to make sure to see if it does. And to add to your interesting thing (that I too have noticed:D), you only hear the "laser motor" move for a second or 2 after you click on either game. I think the rest is spent on loading it into the RAM and rendering all the textures and whatnot. But I hate so far that if I am entering/leaving an area, the music will sometimes give a very small hiccup, but continue playing. Its the small things that get to me sometimes.:unsure:

I am really enjoying the Masters Quest, it is really nice to play because it brings back old memories. It is also nice, because its not the same as just playing the game through again, because lots of stuff is different. I think that this was a really good idea to do.

I think it would have been an ever better idea to change at least a few things OUTSIDE of dungeons as well... :sneaky:

Why must you always look on the negative side of things DH? We got basically 2 free games. There shouldnt be any complaining.

Anybody who considers Master Quest a totally different game is nutz... And if you havn't played it yet then don't be talkin *snaps fingers*... heh... Cuz really the ONLY different shtuff in the games are in the dungeons... all the skulltula's, heart containers, and everything else OUTSIDE of the dungeons are in the exact same location and everything... *shrugs* It's just like the very first Zelda on NES... beat the game once (or name your character Link) and you start the second Quest where the dungeon locations and such are switched around, but everything else is the same... But is the first Zelda 2 games in 1? No, but OoT/MQ has a flashy menu and 2 names OMG!... :eek: :-o

But I wasn't complaining... I was just saying I don't think it would have been much harder to change some things outside of the dungeons too, and it would have made Master Quest even better... but as is I find myself being quite bored between dungeons because it's the same as OoT and I've beaten that like 4 times (including one time on this special bonus disc)... *shrugs*

Yeah, that kills me... I was thinking they would move stuff around to make the game much harder. I mean, searching for heart contaners again without any guide help would be fun.

Actually, you had to name your character ZELDA, not Link.

Oh well EXCUUUSE me... but I havn't actually tried that since I was like... too young -.-

[DarkMaster]

Has any played through the Water Temple in MasterQuest? it's freakin easy, even easier than in the original game, what's up with that?

and the fire temple in MQ is stupid, you only have to do 50% of it to beat it. but at least volvagia is still bad ass.

Yeah, I've noticed that in both of them. I think what they were trying to do was make getting the extra things (like Skullutullas or something) harder. There's a blue switch in the main area of the Water Temple that I never even needed to touch... Its weird...


*shrugs and walks away*

[Jonbo298]

Yeah, I agree on the whole water temple being a lot easier. I'm getting ready to enter Ganon's Castle. Hopefully there is more of a challenge then before. (Not implying it was easy as hell before.)

yes i was suprized when i saw jonbo playing
they made it way too easy

[Mushlafa]

Havent played it yet.. im sappose to pick mine up this weekend.. but... from a friend who buys guides with the game so he can use it the whole way through and not do a shred of thinking... he told me that the water temple was much shorter than i told him it would be .. before he did it.. then i read this and figured that it was easier thats why... so which dungeons are harder and longer in masterquest? He told me thte deku tree was hard :unsure:

[Jonbo298]

The deku tree wasn't too much harder, its just the different enemy makes it a little tougher. I thought the Spirit temple was harder. After doing Ganon's castle, it seemed slightly harder in some areas. But at least I "Mastered the Quest":D Now all I have to do is get all the extra stuff.

[ZeroCool51]

Wow jon you beat my game before me great. How about letting me play it now. And the Deku tree was not really that much harder.
