Ocarina of Time The Hookshot and Many Other Items...

[Ventus]

I'm trying to nitpick with the easier to do version of OoT – that is, OoT3D. Could anyone explain to me just why the Hookshot and a couple other items have a laser for their crosshair? I mean, I understand that the game is updated and was sort of rigged in favor of the player, but I don't see the reasoning to make the game so much easier by allowing the player to know the exact length the item can extend. Back in the original's days, we had to guess by seeing if the red dot would appear at all! :xd:

Wat? The only different i saw was that the hook shoot got an extra circle when you could hit something

I'm guessing it's to make it a lot easier to judge distance, as well as what you can and can't hookshot onto. I find it a very welcome addition, but it does feel a bit strange at times, to see a laser on a Zelda weapon.
