Majora's Mask vs. OoT
As you probably know, Zelda Gaiden is the next Zelda game on n64. The game is based on masks instead of the ocarina. With the masks, Link can transform into the other characters. That seemed stupid to me at first but then I realized how cool it would have been to control some of the other races of people in the original. But the question everyone wants to know is how it will compare to Ocarina of Time. My opinion is that the game will be about the same as OoT but maybe slightly worse. The game can't have nearly as many cool glitches as the original (that doesn't seem possible) and personally I will probably not be able to find my own exclusive glitches. The fact that the game is timed is another weak point. Most of the things in Z64 that were timed had problems. ex: unbeatable running man, pointless timer that keeps going up (Wear any tunic anywhere glitch), escape from Ganon's castle (if time runs out you restart the level and it REFILLS YOUR LIFE!!). Also, if the game is timed I feel it will take away the element of exploration plus it would be possible to have the game saved too late in the game so you could not do anything before it was too late. However, the game may be fun and it's hard to tell by previews what the quality of the game will be. What do you think? Vote in the Zelda Gaiden poll or send me an email for me to put on the Reader's feedback page.
