The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D
Never played MM before. Anything I should know or be aware of?
The only thing you need to be aware of is that you're playing the inferior version of the game. Other than that, try to have fun.
how, I've never played either but I'd like to know.
The original does things better in so many ways. First off, the 3DS remake completely botches the atmosphere by increasing the amount of light there is in the game. This strives against the general theme of darkness
Majora's Mask has going for it. There are also changes to the mechanics of the game that are completely retarded to me. There is this transformation you get early in the game which transforms you into a Deku Scrub. In the original Nintendo 64 version of the game, when you attack whilst in Deku Link form, you get an initial speed boost. This is removed in the 3DS remake. Furthermore, swimming as Zora Link is stupid because you're now required Magic Power to swim quickly.
Another change which boggles my mind is how you're just
given the Bomber's Notebook in the 3DS remake, whilst the original Nintendo 64 version had you go through the sidequest as Human Link, or alternatively just using the knowledge that the sidequest gives you in a new cycle whilst playing as Human Link. This teaches the player more about how the game functions, rather than just giving the Bomber's Notebook immediately without explanation. The way the Bomber's Notebook is also dumb. Instead of giving you the complete schedule of a person, you only get access to the part of the schedule you just interrupted. This makes no sense and only helps in introducing a lot of unwarranted restarting until you successfully complete sidequests.
The game is also somehow condescending enough to think you as a player need seven Empty Bottles. Apparently, having six Empty Bottles isn't enough; we have to make the game
easier somehow. Disgusting. Pathetic. Dumb. Awful.
The only, and I say only, improvements that were made is that Save Statues always save your progress permanently, instead of temporarily, but this is just because it's played on a handheld, and having a system where your saves only are temporary on a handheld is stupid. It's literally the only upside of the remake, which never should be played.
