What's this about cut content from OoT?

I remember early screenshots of Zelda 64 showing that the various Medallions were actually equippable, presumably to be used as spells like the Quake/Ether/Bombos medallions in LoZ: A Link to the Past. It's too bad that didn't make it into the final product, it would've been pretty cool (though Din's Fire/Farore's Wind/Nayru's Love are useful and/or broken enough in their own ways).

It's going to have the breadth of library that the DS has, looking at the early 3rd party support. And the DS is the only system I play these days. If I have to, I'll just have to mod my unit for an extra analogue slider on the right hand side. It's apparently very easy to do on the PSP, for instance.
Yeah, I remember reading about all the features they wanted to put in OoT; partly because they were too ambitious for the N64 and partly because they could negatively affect gameplay, most of them were scrapped or adapted for Majora's Mask. In the end it was surely for the best. can't say the same for Fable, which had somewhat similar stuff in its previews.disappeared said:

I hope they have some fun by perhaps paying homage to all those Triforce rumors back in the day.

I remember having to do a backflip to get across a firewall in the Fire Temple. I really should replay Master Quest I don't think I beat it way back when.TSA said:

Never mind Dragona, are you getting a 3DS? We don't know the price yet, but if the speculations are right and it costs somewhere between 200 and 250 bucks, I assume you will not be pleased, right? I know I won't even if it's 199, but that's the lowest price I'm expecting.

IIRC a few sword moves were in the beta and didn't make it into the final game, like the jump+downward stab.

It's funny, but I think some people actually still believe this.
Oh, the days when the internet was still fun :lol
Feels strange that I'm not too pumped about OoT 3DS. I'd probably get it eventually, but unless there's some decent extras, I'll pass. Something along of the lines of Links Awakening (but bigger dungeon), Chrono Trigger DS, or Super Mario 64 DS (would have been good if it werent for the controls) would be nice, if not even more. Ive still got two copies, and all of my systems are hooked up somewhere in my house anyway.

Yeah, put me on the "not too pumped" list for this remake too. I played the SHIT out of Ocarina of Time; there would have to be a ton of new stuff for me to go back.

So, you're giving in, basically? You used to be so staunch about low hardware prices.

. OoT was never on my list the first time around because of the ugly texture filtering and fog on the N64, and I hate the N64 controller. Nintendo, don't screw the controls and price, and I might just bite.Jason's Ultimatum

Don't forget the sword beam that was cut out.

I am very weak when it comes to Zelda. And very very weak when it comes to, say, a remake of Ocarina of Time.
However, I think the lines are blurring a little bit. I wouldn't pay $150 for a DS or DS Lite, but I might pay $130 or so for a DSi. When they used to just play games, like with the GB and original DS lines, it was sorta bullshit that the prices were arbitrarily raised. In this case, I'll pay for the tech. For one, the lineup, assuming developers follow up with the games, could be very good in the first year. Secondly, the system will probably be hard sought after for a while if it's appropriately priced. Finally, the tech is just that cool. $200 for 3D (games and movies) without glasses in 2010 sounds just about right. $130 or $170 or $190 for N64 graphics in 2010 and very little else is bullshit.

BETTER NOT SAY NO
I doubt we'll see anythign that was cut out.
There's going to be the graphic changes, probably some story line changes to make it fit with the newer games a bit better (probably the older ones as well). I suspect it will tie together with Skyward Sword.
I'll be perfectly happy if the Beam Attack is put back into the game, I'm still pissed it was removed.

I'm not saying others won't bite, i'm just saying that better graphics alone ain't doing it for me. I hope there's (a lot) more to it than that.
Master quest was rubbish, i dont know why anyone would want that version. Half of the puzzles just threw logic out the window. e.g. at the start of jabu jabu's belly where you would normally have to hit a switch to progress, now a cows head is stuck in the roof that you must shoot. what the hell?

I'm personally hoping that OoT 3DS is a Metroid: Zero Mission-style remake. That kind of remake (with refinements to the camera, gameplay, graphics, story and content to make double dipping worthwhile). The original OoT was great, but some of its elements were just exercises in frustration.
