In any case, Legend of Zelda 64 looks impressive. Download from the largest and cleanest ROMs and emulators resource on the net. Mobile optimized. The game is an enhanced remake of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, which was originally released for the Nintendo 64 home console in Like the original, the game follows Link, who is given only three days to save the land of Termina from being crushed by its moon, using various abilities obtained by wearing different masks.
In addition, Nintendo changed the time mechanic of the original game, giving the player more time to explore, and added fishing. Several Easter eggs are also hidden at different locations in-game e.
The game stars Link from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and takes place several months after the conclusion of that game. All we can say is make sure you get plenty of rest the week before.
It's fair to say that we found ourselves with something of a dilemma. We could in theory have reviewed the game from this version, thereby being the first magazine in the UK with a review and thus guaranteeing huge sales and lots of smiling shopkeepers. However, upon playing the game we soon realised that there was no way we could fairly rate this title in its current form.
While the graphics are not going to change and ourselves with something of a dilemma. While the graphics are not going to change and the gameplay will remain pretty much the same for the UK translation, the elements that made the first Zelda game such a joy were the storyline, the minigames and the interaction with the myriad of characters. If you're playing the game in a language you don't understand, then you lose all this.
We did toy with the idea of getting someone who could read Japanese to review it but since as far as we're aware the majority of you lot aren't fluent in the language it seemed a little pointless. So what we thought we'd do instead would be to bring you a massive feature on the game including our impressions, some of the secrets and our hopes for the UK version. And here it is The first thing that you notice about Zelda: Majora's Mask is that it looks very similar to the original title well okay, the first thing you notice is that it's in Japanese - but the similarity thing is definitely next on the list!
This means that if you're expecting some fantastically improved graphics and sound then you're going to be in for a bit of a disappointment. However, since the first Zelda game was none too shabby in the visual and audio departments, this one is looking pretty darn groovy. The story begins with our hero Link, once again back to being a little boy following his generation-spanning adventures in The Ocarina Of Time, wandering through a misty forest on the back of young Epona his horse.
An instant later Epona is startled by two fairies and Link tumbles to the ground, knocking himself unconscious. Then before you can say "Oy that's my horse and Ocarina you git! Despite a brave attempt at wrestling Epona from the masked figure's grasp Link eventually loses him and it's then that you take over. The next few sections of the game are very linear in nature with not a lot for you to really do.
You basically get to do a bit of running around before you come to another cut-scene, then a little more running before another cut-scene kicks in The culmination of all this is a sequence where Link faces off against the masked horse-thief and ends up getting turned into a Deku Scrub for his trouble! This is where the game really begins in earnest. A quick trip through a few tunnels one of which just happens to be a portal to another world a brisk jog up some stairs, a chat with the mask seller from the first game and you're in town!
This is where the difference between Zelda: Majora's Mask and the first Zelda game becomes apparent: this game has a serious time limit! As soon as you enter the town square, a small gauge appears at the bottom of your screen. If you look upwards into the sky at this point you notice a big, angry-looking moon hovering above the town. In just three days time that rather large spaceborne lump of rock is going to crash into the planet! Of course Except that three days game time roughly translates into about 45 minutes of real-time.
As the gauge moves across the bottom of your screen all too quickly, you've got no time to lose if you don't want Link to end up in the N64 remake of Deep Impact! First order of the day therefore is to recover the Ocarina, but of course there are plenty of other tasks for you to tackle first. The town in which you begin the game proper has plenty of places to visit and all manner of little tasks to perform.
The most important thing for you when you first arrive is to secure yourself some weaponry because in three days time you need to confront the guy who stole your Ocarina and in his Deku Scrub form Link can't make use of his sword! The answer to this puzzle is away with the fairies. As in the first game, if you explore your environment you eventually discover a fairy fountain and if you can persuade her to appear then the fairy bestows the power of spitting on little Deku Link which is an absolutely essential skill.
As in the first game, the days are divided into night and Depending on whether it's light or dark you run into different creatures in various places and at night-time the townsfolk pretty much stay indoors. This night and day puzzle element is even more important than in the first game because of the time limit. Unlike Ocarina Of Time, you can't just hang around waiting for it to get dark, because you've only got 72 hours before the untimely demise of the whole planet!
Assuming that you manage to obtain the abilities that you need to survive your confrontation with the masked man, you then get your Ocarina back and - using the Song of Time - can send yourself back to the start of the world, giving yourself another three days breathing space. But the clock just keeps on ticking! Needless to say, much of the game revolves around finding ways to gain yourself more time and to prevent the sun from rising on day four - fail just once and it's goodbye Link!
Despite this pressing time limit there are still plenty of fun things to do and you should never find yourself getting overly stressed or bored. Obviously, from the title of the game you've probably worked out that masks play a pretty big part in the whole adventure. In all there are a total of around 30 masks to collect in the game and they have a variety of different uses. Some of them act simply like ordinary masquerade masks, so that nothing special happens when Link puts them on - at least initially.
Others however, are a little more unusual. For example there's the Deku Scrub mask, which Link gets when he manages to break the spell cast on him at the beginning of the game by the masked man. This mask and other similar ones like the Goron and Zora masks actually effect a physical change in Link when he puts them on. While wearing these masks our elven hero looks markedly different and takes on new abilities associated with the mask which are absolutely essential for making progress through the game.
Essentially the masks replace the various tunics, shoes and weapons that Link collected in the first Zelda game. However, because the masks bring about an actual physical transformation it's a lot more fun.
There's absolutely loads still to discover in this game - after about a week of solid play we've barely scratched the surface of the whole thing although to be truthful we'd probably have got a bit further if the game was in English.
Rest assured that with titles of this quality on the way you can put to rest the ridiculous rumour of the N64 being on the way out - if anything it's stronger than ever! Nintendo recently released new shots this one, so an update is in order.
In this sequel, Link finds himself in an alternate dimension where a rather evil Moon is on its way down--its crash will destroy the world and everything on it. You have three days to stop this from happening. Link can turn into new characters with interesting powers and abilities via magical masks. Majora's Mask should be available in the fall.
One sequel that everyone's been dying to see is an update to Zelda. Well, here it is. Legend of Zelda 64 is an adventure that uses polygon characters to bring the realm of Hyrule alive. This game was extremely early, but if these shots are real-time and not cinemas, the game will be awesome. In any case, Legend of Zelda 64 looks impressive.
There are a few cool visual effects like sparks that fly when Link hits an enemy with his sword. The storyline is still up in the air as Nintendo's not talking.
However, whatever they have up their sleeve, you can bet that it'll generate the same excitement as the original game. Still in its early stages, this game has sparked a great deal of controversy and anticipation over what it is expected to deliver to players.
So far, we are assuming that the characters are all polygon-based, and the fighting sequences will zoom in and take place in a 3-D battlefield. This game will be coming out at the same time as Nintendo's "bulky drive" December It probably will be the first disc game for the system! A long with Perfect Dark , Zelda Gaiden is the game to put 40 aside for next year - and these extra ordinary new shots further prove the wonder of Nintendo's newer.
With Miyamoto casting an eager eye over proceedings, the design team responsible for the magnificent Ocarina of Time are rapidly turning Link's second N64 adventure into - astonishingly - something even better. During a brief spell in one of the game's unnamed Dungeons, for example, up to seven Stalfos skeletons attacked us at one time, when compared to Ocarina of Time, which could only face off two at a time, it's a bum-trembling achievement.
But, more significant is the game's emphasis on masks this time round, and Link's ability to use them to gain the skills and abilities of those they belong to. Coron, Zora, a Deku Scrub, each of these Link can change into, with some truly terrifying transformation scenes as accompaniment. Look out for more on this breathtaking Nintendo game in coming months The name commands respect because on the Super NES it was a multi-layered adventure game of such maturity and depth, that many gamers were left with the impression that the ultimate game had arrived - nothing could touch it.
So it is with great anticipation that we N64 adoptees await the coming of Zelda 64 - all the lush plots and characterisation of the original, but now with added 'zing. Originally pencilled in as the N64's first 64DD game see the technical explanation of the machine at the front of this magazine.
Zelda 64 is now rumoured to be coming on a cartridge, although how the incredible world it promises is to be run from the base storage system is still a mystery. The game is a graphical adventure, with you controlling Link very much like Mario, but the main difference is that you can interact with all the non-player. Zelda 64 is also not a level-based game.
You get the whole world to explore, arid if there's an area which is blocked off, you must first solve a puzzle elsewhere to access it.
The original game was viewed almost from directly above and battles merely consisted of you slashing away at sprites until they expired. What Zelda 64 brings to the series is full 3-D battles, very much like Tekken 2 on the PlayStation, and instead of having a fixed viewpoint, you can change the camera angle at any time. Link must collect rupees cash on his quest, as well as hearts lifeforce and as in the original, special hidden hearts can be found which extend your overall health rating.
You will also have an inventory to store precious items, and as you kill more enemies and open up the game, your weapons and skills will gradually increase, allowing you to perform even more outrageous moves. Approximately , copies of the game were sold during its first week in Japan, and three million copies were sold worldwide. Majora's Mask is the sixth main installment in The Legend of Zelda series and the second using 3D graphics, the first being The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the game's predecessor.
Considered by critics to be "darker" among the Zelda games franchise, Majora's Mask is set in Termina, an alternate version of the usual series setting of Hyrule, where the Skull Kid has stolen Majora's Mask, a powerful ancient artifact.
