Countdown to...Follow

I could care less what it is.

I'll look into that one.

I have found lately about every other Zelda game is good. Lets take a look at Zelda history (or at least the best I can remember).

Zelda 1 Great

Zelda 2 No so great (although I did enjoy this game it could have easily not been Zelda)

Zelda 3 Link to the Past GREAT

Zelda for Gameboy Not so great

Zelda Ocarina of Time Great

Zelda Majora's MAsk = Worst Zelda game ever!!

Zelda Wind Waker = Great

Zelda Minish Cap = Was ok but still not so great

Zelda Twilight Princess = Great

Zelda Phantom Hourglass = Not so great (doing the same annoying dungeon over and over got old fast!

Zelda 2009??

I know I left out terrible Oracle games but I don't remember the exact timeline for those. So this isn't a official scale but I think its fairly accurate. In any case I am always excited for a new Zelda game.

MY biggest complaint with Zelda Majora's Mask has to be the timer, losing your progress after save (well to an extent), and the fact they just took content from OOT and rearranged it into a very boring game. Oh wow we have a crappy town in the center of a field which all the same people that lived in Hyrule. Plus we have four dungeons north, south, east and west. To make up for the fact there was so little in the game they forced all sorts of annoying time sinks for players to do just to get to the dungeons. Game was a huge rip off and a huge let down. In fact it was even buggy! I bought the cartridge new and it kept locking up so I took it back and just got my money back because it sucked. WEll a few years ago Nintendo gave this game away in a collectors pack when you bought Zelda Wind Waker. It included Zelda 1, Zelda 2, Zelda OOT, Zelda OOT Master, and Zelda MM. I tried again to play this crappy game and once again it was randomly locking up.

Of course with the crappy save system I was trying to log alot of time in between saves because once you save all fairies reset as well as dungeon progress (unless you beat it). Several times got half way through a dungeon only to have it lock up and lost about 2 to 4 hours of progress. So I called up Nintendo and after a long conversation asking if the disk was dirty, scratched etc they admitted the game was always like that and to basically get over it. Releasing a cartridge game that randomly locks up, especialy one that has dungeons that take HOURS to figure out is ridiculous. Even putting that aside the game was trash though. Zelda MM and the GB/GB color Zeldas were really the only ones I just absolutely hated. Others might have not been so great, but that is just because they did not compare in quality with the others. Phantom Hour glass would have been ok but I really got sick of doing that same dungeon over and over again. Its been awhile but it was the one where you are timed and have to dodge guards and get to something or another. I never did bother to complete the game as I lost interest about 65% of the way through.

The timer in Majora's Mask can be slowed down by playing the Song of Time backwards. In a legitmate speed run, that game is beaten through one 3-day cycle (the cycle after the one you get your instrument back from). That's just saying how little the timer matters, it's the bane of even my existence when I play it. Going back in time to do some things over again is what adds to the replayability that Ocarina of Time is lacking more of.

To those who still have Majora's Mask and dislike the timer, there's a glitch that allows us to play on the 4th day (infinite days). The start button won't function until you wait till night pass, which you can speak to the scarecrow to pass the time quicker. The scarecrow instead of playing Song of Double Time because that locks up the game. Can save anytime at the owl statue, playing Song of Time won't lock the game. A side effect during the 4th day is that the NPCs as well as objects that change or move around from the normal 3-day cycle will vanish. NPCs such as the postman, Kafei, carpenters, etc. will all be gone (tower from South Clock Town is the example of the object that will vanish).

One video to show of how it's done is here. Works on any version.

I wanted a 3D Zelda for DS that isn't a bird-eye view. :\

Looks like the time is going to be Thursday night at midnight (EST)

Oh, well... It was 9:45pm EST, and I calculated it out to be 26.25 hours from that time.

So that should have put it 2.25 hours (2 hours 15 minutes) later the following day, 12:00am (midnight) of the following day.

Edit:
Right now it's reading 14.33 hours from now for me. (They are counting seconds, right?) Which makes sense because it's 9:45am EST, and 12 hours have passed.

That still puts it at midnight EST tonight.

I calculated it out to be midnight CST...

18900 seconds, 5.25 hours.

Current time 6:45pm EST. 5 hours and 15 minutes from now is 12:00AM EST.

Haha, I'll know the answer before you

The graphics look horrible... wth.


I think that was the biggest letdown ever. Even worse than the Matrix trilogy.
