There's been no word at all that NoE's out of stock, though. Currently the website triggers an error when you try to register the game, but that could have a million reasons. There's no need to jump to conclusions just yet.
I just think it's weird that a year ago I saw everyone complaining that they would be disappointed in the game if they changed it, and then they didn't change it and people are arguing.
I mean, sure, I wanted an orchestrated soundtrack too, and it sounds like at least the reduced scores were done, but it's ok to me. I couldn't see them spending a lot of budget on a 3DS game anyways. As a studio musician (like in an orchestra or chamber groups), they would've paid a lot of money for the recording sessions... because we don't work for cheap
Either way, I think the audio has a nice charm to it, and brings back all the right feelings for me, anyways.
Also, I checked my Target today while I was going to pick up the Back to the Future Collection on Bluray (only $15!), and it turns out they only received 6 copies, and did not sell any copies early. Looks like i'll be waking up early to make sure i'm there right when the store opens.
Also, I wish when people remade games, they would remake them like Nintendo and Grezzo did. Also whoever is doing Starfox 3D, them too.

The original Midi soundtrack is amazing..anyone wanting orchestrated music in a game that didn't need it is missing the point here. Those folks should be MORE upset that the geometry hasn't really changed. It's meant to feel nostalgic yet new. If they went crazy and changed everything it wouldn't be nearly as nostalgic. The game is considered one of the best of all time..even today. This is nothing but a Giant victory lap for Nintendo..and they totally deserve it.

I'm sure you'll be fine. In my experience they usually just try to guilt trip you for not preordering but end up having plenty of extra copies for you to buy the game. You shouldn't have to worry, especially for a high profile title like OoT.

They actually started with orchestral soundtrack but Koji Kondo said it wasn't faithfull to the original game music so they just rebuilt the original music.
And Nintendo is planning worlwide almost free concerts so this time, the cost of an orchestral OST wasn't a problem.

Posting to say thank you. I get the double vision if the screen is at any slight angle, or I tilt/adjust my seating whilst playing. I've been keeping the 3d to a minimum and hoping to get used to it. Pilotwings is the worst for doubling up of the games I've played, but I actually think Zelda is much better in its 3d implementation.
After what you posted, I thought stuff it, I'm going to crank the 3d up to max, and after a painful few minutes, my eyes actually seem to prefer the deeper 3d effect. i still get slight ghosting on occasion, but the deeper 3d seems to force my eyes to work harder, and I certainly get less double vision.
Loving the game, It really does look beautiful in comparison to the N64 version, super crisp.
I'm affected by the euro CD issue, can't register as it says an error has occured. Not gonna sweat it and just try over the weekend a few times...

I've still haven't bought a battery pack of sorts to increase my battery life come to think of it. If I enjoy the 3D in this game (most likely) then I need to fork out more money.
If you have a Walmart, Best Buy, or Target nearby you should be fine. It's very rare when a game sells out on it's first day. If they sell out it's usually towards the end of the firstneoism said:I fucking swear if I go in to Gamestop Sunday I they don't let me buy this just because I didn't reserve it....
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

There's a lot less hand holding in Ocarina than in Wind Waker (a disgrace in terms of puzzles) and its a lot more open than Twilight Princess.Sgt.Pepper said:
Going by memory i think i did my first playthrough withouth it, as a matter of fact i think it was this year or at last years end that i saw epona jumping in Gerudo valley. Also i finished fire temple before Forest the first time if i remember correctly.shadyspace said:
So i have a question: Can you reach Spirit Temple before finishing Forest? Since Epona jumps the bridge and all that.

I said WOW.
Look at all the detail in those crafts. I wonder how long the employees/manager spent on it.

Did a quick search, no mention of why they changed the Fire Temple music I guess...
Picked it up today from my local Tesco before work this afternoon. I chuckle at the fact that a remake of a 13yr old game utilizes the 3D effects and Gyro so damn well. :lol
This game was fuck awesome back in 1998 and it's still fuck awesome now. Excuse me, lads, I'm off to force feed a Komodo dragon!

I'd spend every goddamn penny I have on those things, if they were buyable
Either I'm getting sloppy at Zelda or Ocarina is more difficult than I remember. The boss fight against
actually turned into a fight rather than the beatdown I remember it as. That does no bode well for the later bosses...
Also, curse whoever decided to remap the songs. <, ^, >, <, ^, >... Why did nothing happen? Oh, right. It's A, Y, X, A, Y, X now. Stupid muscle memory. I actually have to look up the songs now.

I think its safe to assume that the sooner you register, the better. So keep trying. As for stock, I'd imagine its quite a low quality batch CD so stock shouldnt be much of an issue as long as you register before the end of the weekend.
Playing OoT makes me desire MM more and more. I feel like the two games are a package and need to be on the system now. I'm also hoping, but doubting, that Wind Waker and a original Zelda makes it onto the system sooner rather than later. Playing this game on the platform makes me realise that only MHP comes close to scope in an open world portable adventure game.

The Kokiri even has the Z-targeting and Navi locked on her. Mad respect to whoever had a hand in setting all of that up. 0_0

Just got finished playing through the Kokiri forest and stopped when I got to the Deku tree. The improved graphics and textures really are amazing, and the 3D, while not in your face is used very liberally. Screenshots and non 3D videos do not do it justice. Looking around by turning the 3DS instead of the analog stick feels natural and is great improvement. I'm pretty impressed so far.

Hmm well the girl at Target tried to tell me only 100,000 of these are being made, needless to say I didn't believe her. Hope I can walk in and get one Sunday though, she said they were only getting 4.

100,000 wouldn't even be enough for one at each store...

In any case, 100k is less than what Japan is getting, and we're the bigger fans over here.
I don't think this is true but fffff if they do this.
