Master Quest is essentially a B-side version of the core game. No new tools, powers, or art are present in the side content, just new dungeon puzzles and layouts. The Master Quest was first introduced in North America in the GameCube version of the game, but it was originally slated to hit back in the Nintendo 64 generation as a Nintendo Disc Drive option. Those plans, obviously, fell through when the N64DD itself failed to materialize at retail.
I’d like to say that Master Quest sweetens the deal for the 3DS version of the game, but it’s not exactly “new” since it’s already been incorporated in a past US re-release (and as a pre-order bonus). Still, it’s one more reason to dive into OOT 3DS--if you needed another reason, that is.
OOT 3DS is still slated to hit at some point this Summer, while the 3DS hits later this month. Who's going to be there on day one?
I'm getting the 3DS on day one, but there really isn't anything I'm excited for. I already have it preordered and figured why the hell not when I saw the release day games. When Zelda comes out though, that will be an immediate purchase for me. I've always wanted to replay Ocarina of Time and this gives me the perfect reason to do so.
" Wait, so will the game be the Master Quest version? Or will it be like the original Zelda, and when I beat it I go through a second quest? "
I suspect it's more likely that when you hit New Game it'll straight-out ask you if you want to play Original Flavour or Master Quest. Also, @poik007 said:
" I really hope Majora's Mask is remade somewhere down the line. "
I know that this will make me sound like a dirty graphics whore with bump mapping down there, but the graphics are enough to make me want this game. Oh, and the fact that I don't have a rating for Ocarina of Time, yet.
Not getting the 3DS at launch. I will get it at some point however and when I do I'm going to pick this game up. Always loved OOT and Master Quest was even more awesome and much harder for me.
