“Hey, Mom. Can we have OoT?”
“We already have OoT at home!”
The OoT at home:
I’ve been running Ocarina when I can. I just completed the Water Temple. All I need now are the Fire and Shadow Medallions, then I can whack Ganondorf.
I can’t play OoT. The controls are too terrible. Even the decomp project SoH still uses the god awful N64 control scheme.
I played the gamecube version and it was perfect controls-wise. It’s basically a port, not a remake or anything. It also includes the master quest on a separate disc, which is a harder version of the game.
That’s okay.
I’m going to purchase the Fable remake when it drops.
That’s not a remake, it’s a reboot. They’re starting from near the beginning of the timeline again, but it’s not the same story or same company. I’m genuinely excited from gameplay trailers.
Honestly Fable was getting a tad messy by the third game, starting over from scratch but using the original as a framework is probably the only way to do it. I feel like if Bethesda were to do a remake of any of the pre Morrowind games it’d be the same way, also I really wish they would remake Redguard because its such a cool game idea wrapped in a jank fest of an engine which funfact is technically 2d fucken Bethesda black magic.
That’s okay, no one is making you. Enjoyment is not based on what everyone else thinks! I personally cannot wait to play it. Have fun, it’s a great game!
This is what I have to tell myself every time I go into a final fantasy vii forum.
I hear 2 Ship 2 Harkinian wasn’t nearly as successful
No idea what that means. 2ship is the best way for anyone that isn’t a speed runner to play Majora’s mask.
Successful? Wdym? It’s a well made pc port of majoras mask.
I mean it didn’t catch on as well as a different recompile
Oh jeez Bananondorf ain’t gonna like this! 🍌👹
I am also not buying the remake, but honestly mostly because I’m an achievement whore. SoH doesn’t support RetroAchevements though, but I’m ok being a purist.
I’ve had it on N64. Emulators. and still have it for the 3DS. I only replay it to glitch max. Granted the hex editor is way more fun.
switch 1 is the last nintendo platform I’ll support. i hope they improve in the future, but console exclusivity is a way of the past
Nintendo’s online stuff has always been junky and I don’t love the move to key carts.
I don’t mind console exclusivity if the console were unique in some way, and the exclusive games made use of that feature.
Nintendo games in the past did this quite well. Many games I’ve played on the DS just wouldn’t work or feel the same way with traditional input.
I’m pleased to inform you that I will be buying OoT remake! I do have a NS2 and I will be happy to buy nostalgia.
There’s been a couple Nintendo Switch 2 games that I’ve wanted to play but haven’t been console sellers for me yet. OoT Remake is finally it, and the bonus is there’s now enough other games I want to play that it won’t just be a single game console haha.
As a switch 2 owner I’ve been eating GOOD. I think it’s the console with the best exclusives by far.
I just ticked over the 20 hour mark in the latest Fire Emblem, and I’m like, “Yeah this is real good.”
Im pleased to inform you that I will be playing OoT Remake while not supporting Nintendo who are notorious for being absolute assholes to all gamers. I’m also saving my money by not buying a device that locks me into their pay for play platform.
Cherry-picking. At least be consequential, don’t generate interest and don’t play it at all.
You can also not support them by simply not playing the game… OR you just want to play the game without paying (read: being cheap) and is looking for excuses. Which one is it, I can’t tell /s
Been having a good time of Ship of Harkinian. https://www.shipofharkinian.com/
Dude, I wish I could launch this to the top of the thread. I just set it up, and it’s so much snappier than running on emulator.
If you haven’t already, grab a hi res texture pack. OoT in 2k at 200fps is awesome.
Okay, fine! If you’re gonna twist my arm about it lol
so much snappier than running on emulator.
Yep, that’s because it’s a decompilation of the original game’s code under the hood, which was then recompiled as a native PC application.
Meaning Nintendo can’t do shit about it, unless HarbourMasters decides to start making charging for their PC ports?
I love it! 60fps, high quality textures, and quality of life options make it feel so much better to play.
Hey! Listen!
If you’re stuck, I have an ancient tome that may be of assistance.
The Water Temple, Chapter XII
Wasn’t that called “Twilight Princess”?
Nah Twilight Princess is more of a Minish Cap remake.
All 3 of those games are excellent though.

Doesn’t ship have a built in randomiser?
I’ve seen some YouTubers like Linkus and PointCrow do randomizers before, and I’ve genuinely considered it a number of times. There are some of the glitches I’m having trouble nailing. Like the hook shot jump off Dampe’s hut to access Shadow Temple early.
But I don’t think I ever considered that there would be difficulty levels on these lol I never tried one because I didn’t want to get super far into a run and lose it to a glitch that I just don’t have the time to master. But knowing that there can be easier rolls set up makes me a bit more comfortable with the idea.
There’s all kinds of randomizers. There’s ones called “no logic” where anything can be placed anywhere and it can be unbeatable if you don’t know the ins-and-outs of all kinds of glitches and bypasses. On the flip side, there are beginner friendly randomizers that keep items “in logic,” wherein items can never be placed behind a check you cannot pass (e.g., the hookshot will never be in a place you need the hookshot to get to).
ZFG shoutout
I absolutely love playing oot randomizers, and I actually just beat my first Dark Soul 3 rando this week. If the tricks and glitches are scaring you off you can leave the “Enable Tricks” section like it is and you shouldn’t need to do any crazy things to get to the end. I’d also recommend getting a tracker, linked below. I’d recommend the EmoTracker map, you click on the items you have and the map updates to show what is available. Green means you have everything available to finish a dungeon or get a chest, yellow means it’ll need an easy glitch or trick, orange for a more difficult glitch, and red is unavailable at the moment. They are super useful if you aren’t sure where to go or if you forget about a single odd chest that could have what you need.

If you do try a rando in the future I hope you enjoy it!
Oh yea dude in that case the one linked above is for you! They have easy seeds that basically let you switch things up in a digestible and fun fashion.
Am I crossing over into another timeline or haven’t they already remade an Occarina of Time before?
Not really a remake, but there’s a port with a few tweaks called “The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest” for the GameCube.
It’s also included on the Collector’s Edition on GameCube, along with Majora’s Mask, the original Legend of Zelda, and Zelda II.
They did a remake for the 3DS, released in 2011
