Crap graphics and crap controls!!
Started it this morning, died cause the moon crashed before I reached the skull kid on top of the tower. I just can't get used to playing like this again, the resolution is so small you can barely see anything around you, and you can't move the camera!! (apart from center L, but that sucks).
Still, once I've gotten used to gameplay again I'm sure it will be fantastic.
Also, they've sped up Link's movement. I find it a bit too fast to be honest, it makes running around a bit inaaccurate as its so sensitive.
If you're still a Deku scrub, you'll find that's why you're moving so fast - back in your normal form, you don't walk quite so quickly.
The graphics aren't that bad really. Well, after a while you just lull into it and it's fine.
If you didn't know already - if you play the song of time backwards, you can slow time down and have twice as long to do stuff.

I barely ever had the bunny hood off one of the c-buttons, I wouldn't travel without it even if I was in the middle of Clock Town.
He hasn't even got the Orcarina yet! :-)
Going back to N64 games does seem a bit :-S at first, but you get used to the datedness and get into the game before long. Heck, I've managed to fall in love with Final Fantasy 7, and that's even MORE dated.
Some of those bitmap backgrounds are beautiful though.
That one where you're coming up a mountain to a sunset, just before you get over the hill to find a wasteland around a Mako Reactor...
The music as well...
Now I'm thinking about Aeris again! :'-(
;-D

FF7 beats Zelda ANYDAY. I like Zelda dont get me wrong but the music, storyline and RPG gameplay made FF7 a true classic.
I love them both to pieces, however.

Oh yeah.
Whoops.

The difference being FF7 is one epic title in a series of decent (noting more) RPG's, whilst Majora's Mask is part of a series of games that constantly get praised as the greatest titles ever invented.
anyway, ill just play it on my n64....
