“Hey, Mom. Can we have OoT?”
“We already have OoT at home!”
The OoT at home:
I’ve been running OoT when I can. I just completed the Warer Temple. All I need now are the Fire and Shadow Medallions, then I can whack Ganondorf.
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
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.
Nintendo’s online stuff has always been junky and I don’t love the move to key carts.
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.
Hey! Listen!
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.
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.
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
Cherry-picking. At least be consequential and don’t play it at all.
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 hear 2 Ship 2 Harkinian wasn’t nearly as successful
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
No idea what that means. 2ship is the best way for anyone that isn’t a speed runner to play Majora’s mask.

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.
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.
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).
Doesn't ship have a built in randomiser?
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.
Am I crossing over into another timeline or haven’t they already remade an Occarina of Time before?
They did for the 3DS. They’ll release these every 10-15 years until millenials are dead.
Todd Howard: Every 10-15 years? Those are rookie numbers!
I think video game remakes will be a thing long after millenials are gone, just like movie remakes. And I bet most of them will be disappointing, with the occasional faithful or even surpassing remake, just like with movies.
It would be cool to chart the distance in time between the original video game and all remakes. It’d be cool to see which games get evergreen remakes, and which go through unpopular periods before a renaissance. People will always remake the classics, but I bet most remakes will go in a cyclic fashion of cashing in on middle-aged nostalgia.
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.
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.
Wasn’t that called “Twilight Princess”?
Personally I can’t wait for the OoT remake to inevitably get it’s own Ship. It might take 20 years, but I’m willing to wait that long to finally be able to play the definitive version of OoT.
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.
Are you doing a randomizer? Three hearts after mirror shield which is an item you get in the last dungeon and still needing the fire medallion is an interesting way to play the vanilla game
Nope, I’m running vanilla. I’m experimenting with what you can do out of order. There’s nothing stopping you from just leaving the Water Temple to do Spirit Temple after you get the longshot. I’m sure there’s a way to get there without the longshot too.
I’m also doing a 3 heart run because OoT is actually pretty easy. There does come a point where you have to start doing boss fights perfectly because every hit is OHKO. I’ve finished a run like this before. But now that I know about Ship, I’m gonna turn the damage multipliers way up and give myself a reason to actually get hearts.
Oh jeez Bananondorf ain’t gonna like this! 🍌👹
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.
I’ll have to give the Gamecube version a try

Been having a good time of Ship of Harkinian. 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.
lemmyng@lemmy.world 2 days ago
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.

If you haven’t already, grab a hi res texture pack. OoT in 2k at 200fps is awesome.

I will help! Haven’t played this one but have messed around with some of the de/re-compiles.

Can’t wait until Triforce Quest gets added.
