Much like ''Ocarina of Time 3D'', the 3DS version of ''Majora's Mask'' is a remake of the original Nintendo 64 game, taking advantage of the more powerful hardware and fitting modern standards. It is the first major re-release of the game that is not an emulation, as the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] and [[Wii]] versions are. As such, most textures are significantly more detailed, and many models consist of more polygons than the original. Character designs have been updated to reflect their ''Ocarina of Time 3D'' counterparts. The frame rate has also been increased from the original game's 20 FPS to 30 FPS.

===Revamped Item System===

===Controls===
 
Much like in ''Ocarina of Time 3D'', the item system is revamped. Items can be assigned to the X and Y buttons, while two extra item slots were added to the two right corners of the touch screen. The {{it|Ocarina of Time}} is permanently assigned to bottom left corner of the touch screen, while the [[Pictograph Box]] is permanently assigned to the top left corner once obtained.

Most of the original HUD has been moved down to the touch screen, leaving the upper screen mostly clear of graphic overlays. Only the A and B button prompts and clock still appear in the top screen. The clock was redesigned as a bar that displays the full three day cycle, which now also shows the minutes. The bottom screen displays the item inventory and map. It also displays [[Link]]'s [[Heart Container]]s, [[Magic Meter]], and [[Rupee]]s.

⚫
Link's [[Mask]] transformations were also altered. When performing [[Deku Link]]'s Spin Attack, the tip of his hat transforms into a root. Deku Link also needs to be build up speed in order to start running. This affects hopping farther on water, now requiring walking around before performing a Spin Attack. When shooting a [[Bubble Blast]], a sight appears when going into first person perspective. Also, the bubble does not burst if charged for too long. When flying after using a [[Deku Flower]], the R Button can be pressed to show a mark where Deku Link will land.

The original swimming mechanics are merged with the electric Barrier attack, which drains the Magic Meter when executed. Zora Link's attacks are executed faster, his boomerangs can go through walls, and they can be recalled instantly by pressing the B button.

Revision as of 07:00, 25 March 2015

Template:GameNav Template:Game The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D is a Nintendo 3DS remake of the Nintendo 64 game, Majora's Mask. It was officially announced during a Nintendo Direct on November 5, 2014,[1] and is directly comparable to Ocarina of Time 3D. The game's launch in both North America and Europe coincides with the launch of the New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL systems.

Changes and Additions

Graphics

Much like Ocarina of Time 3D, the 3DS version of Majora's Mask is a remake of the original Nintendo 64 game, taking advantage of the more powerful hardware and fitting modern standards. It is the first major re-release of the game that is not an emulation, as the GameCube and Wii versions are. As such, most textures are significantly more detailed, and many models consist of more polygons than the original. Character designs have been updated to reflect their Ocarina of Time 3D counterparts. The frame rate has also been increased from the original game's 20 FPS to 30 FPS.

Controls

Much like in Ocarina of Time 3D, the item system is revamped. Items can be assigned to the X and Y buttons, while two extra item slots were added to the two right corners of the touch screen. The Template:It is permanently assigned to bottom left corner of the touch screen, while the Pictograph Box is permanently assigned to the top left corner once obtained.

When playing on a New Nintendo 3DS or with the Circle Pad Pro, the extra Circle Pad allows full camera control.

User interface

File:MM3D Clock
The redesigned clock

Most of the original HUD has been moved down to the touch screen, leaving the upper screen mostly clear of graphic overlays. Only the A and B button prompts and clock still appear in the top screen.

The clock was redesigned as a bar that displays the full three day cycle, which now also shows the minutes. The clock display no longer fades when Link is actively moving around.

The bottom screen displays the item inventory and map. It also displays Link's Heart Containers, Magic Meter, and Rupees.

Gameplay

The "Song of Double Time" now lets Link jump to a specific hour of the current day.[2]

Link's Mask transformations have been altered. When performing Deku Link's Spin Attack, the tip of his hat transforms into a root. Deku Link also needs to be build up speed in order to start running. This affects hopping farther on water, now requiring walking around before performing a Spin Attack. When shooting a Bubble Blast, a sight appears when going into first person perspective. Also, the bubble does not burst if charged for too long. When flying after using a Deku Flower, the R Button can be pressed to show a mark where Deku Link will land.

Goron Link's attacks are executed faster. Curling is now done by simply pressing the A Button once. To uncurl, the A button must be pressed again. His turn rate while rolling has been reduced.

Zora Link now swims at a slower speed, making navigation of tight underwater corridors easier. The original swimming mechanics are merged with the electric Barrier attack, which drains the Magic Meter when executed. Zora Link's attacks are executed faster, his boomerangs can go through walls, and they can be recalled instantly by pressing the B button.

All bosses now feature a new weak point in the form of an eye. Some of them are fought in a different manner and include a second phase.[3]

Sheikah Stones and Visions

Main articles: Sheikah Stone and Vision

Sheikah Stones make a return from Ocarina of Time 3D. They are large Gossip Stones that allow Link to see short gameplay clips called Visions. These Visions can be used to figure out puzzles or where to go next if stuck. In addition to visions, pictures of Piece of Heart and Stray Fairy locations were also added.

Saving

Owl Statues are now activated by just checking them, rather than striking them with a sword. Owl Statues now permanently save the game, and the "Song of Time" no longer saves the game at all. Some Owl Statues were relocated.

Quill Statues, a new type of statue, were also added; these statues allow saving, but cannot be warped to with the "Song of Soaring."[4] Quill Statues appear all across Termina, including inside dungeons.

After the credits, the game prompts a save.

The game now features three save files instead of two.

Fishing

Two Fishing Holes were added: one on the Road to Southern Swamp and the other in the Zora Cape.[5] Each includes 12 different types of Fish that can be caught, some of which require certain Masks to be worn.

Link can transform into the Fierce Deity inside the two Fishing Holes.

A new item called the Fishing Hole Pass was added, which lets Link fish for free. They replace the Purple Rupees and other rewards when completing mini-games or sidequests. They are often given to Link for completing sidequests or minigames that give a Mask or Piece of Heart, if Link has already obtained that prize.

  • A seventh Bottle was added, obtainable from a new sidequest given by Gorman. After delivering him some Mystery Milk from the Gorman Brothers, he gives it to the player.
  • The Fire, Ice, and Light Arrows are now their own items rather than being compressed into a small menu like in Ocarina of Time 3D.

  • The Giant's Mask now appears after the blue Twinmold is defeated.

Miscellaneous

  • The camera follows Link after going through a loading zone.
  • Most cutscenes are shortened after the first time they are watched.

  • The Worker carrying a wooden beam and walking around South Clock Town does not actually move when off-screen.
  • The Moon is invisible inside the Laundry Pool on the First Day, Second Day, and during the daytime of the Final Day. The moon is rendered incomplete on the night of the Final Day. If Link wears the Zora's Mask and dives into the pool and looks up in first person, the Moon will be fully rendered on all other days.
  • L-targeting a Garo after defeating it will keep the camera under L-target motion control while the Garo's speech box is displayed

Development

Eiji Aonuma, producer of the Zelda series, had previously discussed if Majora's Mask should be remade for the Nintendo 3DS, taking into consideration the positive reception of Ocarina of Time 3D.[7] Fans in response had created a campaign named "Operation Moonfall" aiming to convince Nintendo to create the 3D remake.[8] On November 4, 2011, he announced that the remake is already in consideration.[9] On October 11, 2013, he hinted at the possibility of a 3DS remake at the New York Comic Con, stating that fans may get an answer as to whether one will be released by playing A Link Between Worlds.[10] On November 5, 2014, Nintendo confirmed via their Nintendo Direct that Majora's Mask 3D would be scheduled for a spring 2015 release.

On Miiverse, Eiji Aonuma stated that Majora's Mask 3D had been in development since 2011, shortly after finishing Ocarina of Time 3D.[11]

To commemorate the game's release, the 3DS eShop temporarily replaced its normal theme with the "Song of Storms".[citation needed]

Limited Editions

MM3D New 3DS XL

In both North America and Europe, a limited special edition of the game was released. The North American version of the game includes a copy of the game plus a Skull Kid figurine. The European version includes a copy of the game, a steelbook case, a pin badge, and a double-sided poster. By pre-ordering the game in the English retailer GAME, a Majora's Mask paperweight is also included. Other retailers through Europe offer a Majora's Mask necklace and a black sack with the game's logo on it when pre-ordering the standard edition. When pre-ordering Code Name S.T.E.A.M. on the American retailer GameStop, a Majora's Mask pin from the European special edition is also included. A set of 24 postcards is also included when pre-ordering the game in Amazon Japan.

A special edition New Nintendo 3DS XL featuring a black console with a gold top with Majora's Mask and the four transformation masks is also set be released on launch day of both the game and the new console. In Europe and Japan, it includes a digital copy of the game pre-installed into the system. The Skull Kid figurine is also included when buying the console in the official Nintendo UK store.[12]

Update

A patch was released for Majora's Mask 3D on February 27, 2015. This can be downloaded freely from the Nintendo eShop.

Version 1.1 update fixes several bugs in the game's code. It removes the "ERROR!****" message, which now shows an empty text box instead, fixes a glitch at Honey and Darling's Shop which causes Link to become swordless and moves the Ocarina to the B Button, and fixes a bug in the PAL version where depositing 0 Rupees to the Bank while playing in the English language results in the game softlocking.[13]
