Ocarina of Time Opinions On Master Quest

[Norisom]

So recently I was looking around for a copy of Master Quest, I found one for 20 dollars and I was wondering what other people think of this game. I will be buying no matter what since I am a collector but I still just wanna see some opinions.

Feels like a different game. It's a little better in standpoint because dungeon difficulty is slightly changed.

By all means, go for it. The story and basic skeleton of the game remains intact, it's just made harder. So if you're the king of person who likes a challenge, you'll like this for sure! As for me, I think it is a great idea how they released this for the hardcore gamers.

Alright now I'm excited. I now really want to order it so I probably will tomorrow, anyways thank you for answering.

I wouldn't get it if I were you. What can you expect from the Water Temple? It will be hard as rock.

I have the Master Quest. And I love it. I'm always playing MQ after each OoT walkthrough. And I made a theory about evolution of N64 Zeldas, including most famous question - Is Master Quest Ura Zelda? You can read it here:

I thought it was common knowledge Master Quest was Ura Zelda? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ura_Zelda#Re-releases

Master Quest is a harder, less well designed version of OoT. I recall there are a few puzzles where you have to injure yourself in order to complete them, which to my mind indicates it wasn't playtested as well as all that. I played through a couple of dungeons on it, but I don't believe I've ever completed it. I might just start doing that today.

You are both right and wrong.
Nintendo states that Ura Zelda is Master Quest, but only to "shut the fans up". There is actually two Ura Zeldas:
GameCube version - Master Quest - released version, which everyone knows.
64DD version - development version - that's the REAL Ura Zelda.

I love it...is a little more difficult, but still the best game ever

 

[korp]

It's hard, but not Zelda 2 hard. Theres just more stuff added to the dungeons and all...
But some stuff is really *too* difficult and it pisses me off. lol.

I know very little about this time period, but I came across this article while searching for dev iterviews. Were they wrong, or did Ura Zelda become Zelda Gaiden which became MM?

edit: nevermind, they were wrong.

I thought was decent rise in difficulty. Just remember when you play it that the dungeons are new. Don't let them deceive you. That was the hardest part for me. I actually thought the Water Temple was easier in Master Quest as far as comparing my first times through in each game. The Spirit Temple however threw me off hard. I got way lost in that.

I have only seen Din playing it, but I have to say that MasterQuest has actually rebirthed the game for Din and I. It's more enjoyable because the dungeons are fresh. I know I really enjoy playing whatever handheld game I have in my hands and looking up once in a while and pointing out things that Din had missed when she first looked around the room.
I can honestly say that it makes me feel like the game has brought us closer together while she plays. I know she's liking it!
