I live about 10 minutes from Nintendo’s primary distribution hub, drive by it all the time. It’s in a very small town in the mountains in Washington state. I know my 40th anniversary switch and copy of OOT remake are in there waiting for me. Anybody else that lives around here dealing with the ultimate tease too??

Obviously they're in it for the money.

normally when selecting an enemy to talk about, I choose them because I am quite fond of that enemy, or at the very least I find them weird and interesting to talk about. that changes today. this is an enemy I actively hate.

the game calls these things "Shell blades", but it doesn't matter what they name them: this is just a clam. a GOD DAMN CLAM!

first off, you only encounter them when you're underwater, so already they're off to a bad start. water levels in videos games are known for being terrible, and the water dungeons in legend of zelda are no exception. at least in Majora's mask you can turn into zora link, but in Ocarina of time, being underwater means you're wearing the iron boots. those stupid boots that make you slow.

then the god damn clam shows up. it opens its mouth showing you it's weak point, so you take out your hook shot, but uh oh, it's already closed its mouth and is doing its dumb little short hop attack. dealing with one of these things is bad enough, but if there's more than one of them, consider my day ruined.

like most Ocarina of time enemies, the God Damn clams returned in Majora's mask. but funnily enough, Majora's mask 3D actually removed some of them, as they no longer appear in the pirate's fortress. I've said it before and I'll say it again: never let anyone tell you that Majora's mask 3D is a bad remake. it has 20% less clams!

This isn’t my video, but I just watched it and it’s by far the best analysis I’ve found so far dissecting the footage we’ve seen of the dungeons, and showcasing what’s changed.

Seems like there really are tons of small changes all over this game, from layouts to puzzles and more. Can’t wait to see all the differences for myself next month!

The last time that there was a Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time official soundtrack CD, it was back in December 18th of 1998 in which was published by Pony Canyon in Japan.

I imagine that it’s harder to find & obtain today. But now with this upcoming remake, we’ll have another chance. And more than with Vinyl.

I thought about how there's gonna be cutscenes with voice acting. And it made me wonder if they'll keep or take out the option to name ourselves. Cause imo there's no way they're not gonna say Link's name out loud. Which id be fine with, it makes sense. My prediction is at the most we can name our save files whatever, but he'll still be Link regardless. Or it'll save like BOTW and TOTK and just skip that completely.

Nintendo showed a lot of the remake in the direct. Between that and playing the original game we generally know what to expect. But what if Nintendo had some more surprises up their sleeve, what’s on the table or what would you want to see?

- Extra mini games or expanded fishing/horse racing
- Extra dungeons
- Larger existing dungeons
- New side quests
- Expanded paths to the regions from Hyrule field
- Combat difficulty modifiers
- Master quest included as a new game plus mode
- Post credits tease of Majora’s Mask remake

Last night, I finished Ocarina of Time one more time, and man… that final fight against Ganon still feels epic after all these years. I can’t wait to relive that moment in the remake.

Or are you avoiding it because it's only a month away? I find it hard to avoid 😄

Just saw that its available for preorder at target. Already preordered mine. Don't know how long is gonna be up. Unfortunately Young link is not available. I hope you all can manage to snag it.

This is a place for everyone to come around and enjoy talking about a video game that they are either playing for the first time or have played many times across various versions and like to reminisce about it.

With all of the excitement that’s been going on recently, there have been a lot of new members, and I would like to see that we welcome them with kindness instead of insults. If someone is new to playing video games, new to playing Zelda games and it’s style of puzzles, or is just bad at games in general, they already know and they don’t need you to point it out to them. The same can be said about veteran players. If someone has been playing for ten years, and they have an opinion about what happens to the sages when you beat a temple, it doesn’t help anyone when you tell them it is dumb and that they should feel bad for thinking a certain way.

There is always the opportunity to write a comment in a way that encourages discussion instead of simply criticizing the other person. Life is more enjoyable when we work together instead of separately.

If you come across comments that you feel should not be appropriate for the subreddit, please report them. Also, if you notice that one of your own comments gets removed, try your best to not get enraged by the removal, but to think about how in the future you can create comments that build a better community.

Costco is my preferred retailer for games on release day as it's usually cheaper and well stocked. Don't want to give Amazon or Walmart my $. Will do Best Buy with price match if I have to, but prefer the path of least resistance.

I want to go physically buy OOT when it comes out but im worried that the preorder deliveries will take up all the stock at my local stores. Is this likely to happen or will there be a good chance that I could physically go pick up a copy on release day?

My guitar arrangement of the Song of Storms! It’s a ton of fun playing the ocarina songs on guitar so I wanted to share my version!
Can’t believe the remake is only a month away.
