A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I played this game back when it released on Gamecube. I honestly have almost 0 memories of this game. I only kinda sorta remember a specific room or two and not even well enough to really explain them.

I am not sure why I do not remember it very well. I remember Majora's mask much better and I had only played that once at launch as well.

At this point, I have finished the first dungeon and it was pretty easy. I wonder if this game is just an easier game then modern zelda titles. Although, it seems like it is easier than Ocarina. At least so far.

The enemies feel meatier. Like, they take more damage and don't bounce around as easily. I am not enjoying it as much as I thought i would, but I am going to stick with it.

I kinda want to play through the 3d zelda games again. I keep trying Majora's mask and then putting it down before I even leave the starting town. I am playing on a PC, but I'd much rather use a steam deck to play as I do not often sit at my PC unless I am working.

Enjoy it, I hope this game gets a Switch release someday, the only way to play it in a proper manner is through emulation, or if you have a Wii U you are set...

Also recommend you to visit Majora's Mask when you have the time, it is truly a hidden gem (maybe not that hidden as of today).

I’m playing the hd remaster on cemu. But info have my original wiiu, it’s just in a different country at the moment.

What’s the recommended way to play MM? I only ever played it on the 64, but I’m debating between the n64 app on the switch and the 3ds version through emulation.

Well, there are some debate about which version of MM is better, I would say 3DS is better but I'm biased because I have only played that version.

I also know about a restoration patch/mod to fix some new annoyances like the swimming mechanics (which were okay to me because I did not know better 😂).

If you talk about were to play it I did on original hardware, but since you are emulating a more powerful game, in with a think a bugless way, then you won't have any issues with emulating this, on top of that you can improve the graphics, so if you don't have the hardware I'd say go for it with emulation!

Thanks! I’ll have to look into the swimming mechanics thing to see what the deal is.

Im kind of leaning towards n64 rom with high res patch. I guess it will be a less demanding emulator to run than 3ds.
