Legend of Zelda General Discussion

[KnownandUnknown]

Either will do; I personally have been using the gamecube Controller with Majora's Mask, but either would technically be fine. In fact, Classic might be better, but I'm not sure, only used the gamecube Controller.

Actually I was wondering not which one was better but if you needed either. Which you do, apparently.
Majora's Mask sounds good then, I'll think about it more later...

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Yeah; you need one of the two to play games from the SNES and up.

And my opinion? Majora's Mask is awesome. However, if you only have the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, then Twilight Princess is good as well. It's just... long. Mostly because of Hyrule Field. =P

[KnownandUnknown]

O.K, I'm buying a GCN controller and a GCN memory card for my Wii, should I get Majora's Mask or Wind Waker?

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Wind Waker. If you're already getting the Memory Card, get Wind Waker first.

However, don't let the sailing discourage you from further games, if you don't like it... of all of them, only Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass use a sailing system.

[KnownandUnknown]

Thanks, you really know your Zelda games! 
I'll get Wind Waker if I can find it. I'll search a bit later. I've been on amazon enough looking at well known GCN games such as Metroid Prime...

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Alright. After that, if you really want to, you can get Ocarina of Time, since there's honestly nothing wrong with the N64/Virtual Console version, but I prefer the 3DS version now, simply because of the menu being 100 times better for the Iron Boots. =P I say that, because Ocarina basically ties into everything else. =P

Also, once it comes out sometime this fall, I'd also recommend Skyward Sword, if you like Wind Waker.

Though this isn't the "Metroid Topic" or anything, get Metroid Prime Trilogy. It costs like $100 right now, but it is the second-best gaming purchase I have ever made (Of course, I bought it when it was still $50... ). It includes all three console Metroid Prime games. The two Gamecube ones now have Wii controls that are vastly superior to the originals (Trilogy version of the first Prime is my second-favorite game of all time. Gamecube version ranks much lower.), as well as graphical improvements.

Also, it comes in a shiny metal case and has a small art booklet.

Back on topic: Wind Waker is a pretty fun game, but if you're a completionist know that you aren't going to do it (With "it" being the figurine quest) the first time through.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Off Topic: The problem with that is it's practically one of the rarest games on the Wii now. =P Otherwise I'd have it by now myself. =/

On Topic: You can't do the whole subquest in the normal game? It's New Game + material? I didn't know that. At least that gives me an actual reason to play through twice whenever I get Wind Waker. =P

[Canama]

You can technically do it in the normal game, but it's hard. It's easier to do in the new game+ (Easier but by no means easy.)

Unless you're a massive completionist you're better off just skipping it completely.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Looks like I have a challenge then, for when I get Wind Waker.

It involves taking pictures of stuff; right? I think I've heard of it, and now understand why it'd be so hard.

[KnownandUnknown]

I believe you have to take pictures of every person in the game, correct?

[Magical Girl Mimi]

I'm not certain, but that rings a bell. Would then make sense why New Game + would make things easier.

Going to start a new blog. That way I can test glitches from OoT... Multiple versions of OoT.

[The Truth]

Wind Waker. If you're already getting the Memory Card, get Wind Waker first.

However, don't let the sailing discourage you from further games, if you don't like it... of all of them, only Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass use a sailing system.

What? Majora's Mask is much better than WW!
(WW is awesome, MM is just more awesome.)

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Well, he's got everything else, and more or less is ready for Wind Waker... Plus, since he knows about stuff from Wind Waker, it's the best to get into first.

And another thing; since Majora's Mask is the direct sequel to OoT, although I'd recommend Majora's Mask in a heartbeat, it does make a little more sense to play through OoT to make sense of what the heck is going on with the intro...

"Who's that friend Link's looking for? Why does Link have a horse? What's that instrument that weird guy took, and why's it so important? ... How'd he get that instrument anyway?"

If all those weren't a factor, I'd definitely say 'go for it', ASAP.

"Who's that friend Link's looking for? Why does Link have a horse? What's that instrument that weird guy took, and why's it so important? ... How'd he get that instrument anyway?

Zelda, from the past. So he can go farther faster. Ocarina, plays magical music that controls the elements. Oh, and because controlling the elements is cool. A King, posing as a lion, dressed as a boat, gave it to him because he's already dead. Wind Zelda eh 

[Magical Girl Mimi]

That was a mention from Majora's Mask... =P

So technically the first was Navi, and The King of Red Lions doesn't play a part, since it's in the wrong timeline. =P(And, psst, you're talking about the Wind Waker. =P)

^read on.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

YESYESYESYES I NEED THAT.

Seems cheaper than building each separately as well. =P

But seriously, that's awesome, and I need a Remote Plus; it easier than having to attack the Motion Plus for every single Motion Plus game. =P Allows use of the Zapper too.

=D

[The Host]

Seems awesome, but I already own 4 remotes + remote plus attachments, so I can't justify buying an extra remote, even if it is awesome...

Not even sure about getting this game, as I doubt I would finish it, given that I rarely use my Wii system anyways. And I haven't beaten TP yet.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Well, if you wouldn't play it now, I'd get it and play it on the Wii U if you get it. =P Plus, you could always wait a little bit, see the reviews, and then decide if you want it. As long as you don't care about the CD, of course.

Perfect for me, however, I only have one remote... Then I'd only need a Nunchuck, and I'd finally be able to do Multiplayer with remote-only games. =P If I can get it, however. =/
