MaJoRa, a member of the Zelda Fan Game Central community, has spectacularly managed to render the acclaimed over world of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time in the 2D top-down view that was seen in the critically acclaimed Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. The ambitious project has taken roughly two long years to complete.

“Not to say this project is over by a long shot, I am going to see how far I can take this. I feel like ending now is too soon, I will find a new way to step this up.” He is taking suggestions and constructive criticism about his work, more of which may be seen at the link below.

Nintendo 3DS: Nintendo Changed Zelda Master Quest On Nintendo 3DS To Make It A Lot More Difficult

Eiji Aonuma, the director of The Legend of Zelda has revealed that Grezzo, the developers behind The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, have made the Master Quest even more ‘formidable’ this time around to please Zelda enthusiasts. Apparently they didn’t believe the original Master Quest provided enough of a challenge to competent gamers, so Link now takes double damage.

“People who play the Master Quest are looking for something formidable,” said Aonuma. “But I didn’t think it would be that challenging if it were the same as in the original, so Link takes double damage.”

“The world of the Master Quest is a mirror reflection of the main game, so if you go somewhere thinking you’ve already figured it out once so it’ll be easy, you might be out of the game simply by falling off a cliff! You’re like, ‘What?! That’s a game over?!’”

He added: “You can clear a lot of games today just playing them casually, so it feels nice to have to go back and heal before a boss battle. The Master Quest is extremely tense and rewarding.”

Nintendo 3DS: Limited Edition Zelda Ocarina Of Time Soundtracks Have All Gone In Europe

Many eager gamers have desperately been trying to register their copies of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D only to find out that they’re greeted by an error message stating that ”An error occurred when your data were being validated.” What this actually means is that Nintendo has allocated all the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time soundtrack CD’s to the first 2000 customers who registered the game. So if you’re trying to register the game now to get the CD then unfortunately I’m afraid you’re out of luck.

A forum member over at ONM decided to phone up Nintendo and ask what the issue was, only for the reply to be that all the 1000-2000 slots for the free soundtrack had now been filled despite no mention of a first-come, first-served basis, but instead the website just saying that users who want the chance to get their hands on a copy of the soundtrack must register their game code before June 30th.

Nintendo: The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time Was Once A First Person Shooter

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has described how Shigeru Miyamoto originally wanted to make The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time a first person game. Initially Miyamoto wanted to remove the Link character model from the screen altogether and just have the game playable as a FPS. Later into the games development Miyamoto decided against the idea, as he claims it “wasn’t interesting visually”.

“I talked with Miyamoto-san about how we should make The Legend of Zelda for the Nintendo 64 system, and he asked, ‘How about making it so that Link will not show up?’,” Yoshiaki Koizumi remembers. “He wanted to make it a first-person game.”

“He wanted to make an FPS (first-person shooter),” Iwata added.

“Right. In the beginning, he had the image that you are at first walking around in first-person, and when an enemy appeared, the screen would switch, Link would appear, and the battle would unfold from a side perspective.”

Anyone particularly disappointed with this pre-order bonus?
