Majora's Mask (although I never did beat it, I lost interest)

Seriously?

That is a pretty decent Zelda game.

I've never owned it. I was a huge huge fan of Ocarina of Time and borrowed MM from a friend, and I had a really difficult time getting passed the differences in the game. I always enjoyed Zelda as more of a straight-forward action/adventure, where MM was more about exploration and NPC interaction, which had a tendency to bore me at that age (I think I was 12 or 13 when I played it). I lost interest after I had difficulty solving one of the Stone Tower puzzles (can't remember which one), and ended up returning the game to my friend.

I want to go back and play it again one day, but the N64 version is so ridiculously expensive right now that I'm not interested. If they ever make a remake for 3DS, I'll probably give it another go, but it was so drastically different from what I enjoy about Zelda games that I couldn't get into it at the time.

Protip: Project 64 is your friend

And I borrowed it from a friend as well back in the day, beat it then and then again years later on PJ64, good times

I one of those "original hardware" purists. I don't really enjoy emulating games, especially anything later than the SNES era. The N64 controller is extremely unique, and finding a gamepad that works well with that controller layout is difficult. I'll just wait to happen across a copy of the game or wait for a remake. I'm not in any hurry to go back and play it again.

If you want to, you can get a usb device that connects to a n64 controller

http://www.amazon.co.uk/N64-PC-USB-C.../dp/B003D61Y30 still pricey however You may be better off just getting the game lol.

I was expecting way more, the game is probably more expensive over here! Also N64 games are getting too pricey as well. Sure hope the retro-bubble bursts and the prices fall down!

I had a feeling a post like this was coming. It's something I've thought about, but I'm just not interested enough in emulating N64 games to warrant the purchase. Especially since it's listed for $30 on Amazon.ca, although the reviews of it are promising.

My friend has one and he says its very efficient. I've got an N64 already and I'd probably just play the games instead of emulating them, but I'd rather not talk about that because I'd try and find games that I want to play and end up spending too much money

Fwiw I couldn't get into MM either.

[Net Spectre]

I liked Majora's Mask much more than Ocarina of Time.
Because spooky stuff is right up my alley.

I need to actually try it as I didn't even play that much of OoT, which has one thing I really like: the cut content. Love all the secret stuff that game has!

[Net Spectre]

Like the Airwing that you can fight with help of a cheat codes, triforce, two cut temples, Zelda 64 for N64DD and Zelda Ura?
I remember that in the Wind Waker there even were plans for Link to age.

Yup, all of that. I'm also fascinated by urban legends and what-not. I know they don't exist, but it's the mystery behind them. Shame with the Internet being prevalent now, all of this can be debunked quite easily!
I wish they actually made the N64DD expansion for Zelda! also I'm still waiting for someone to leak RE 1.5, not the re-creation, the actual thing which is in some collector's jewel encrusted case probably!

[Net Spectre]

Well, there is "actual" RE 1.5 vanila build, 40% completed.

I like all that "urban legends" stuff, but it often gets mixed with the creepypastas, which annoys me, because it's often just fans' fantasies that have no solid connection to the game. Sometimes it's only rumors, sometimes just some weird things, that may or may not hold some meaning(like that weird GTA Statue of Liberty heart), or system glitches(Jak II' Sandover Village glitch).

What I like the most - is that if you look hard enough, or listen hard enough, you can discover something really interesting...sometimes even disturbing or creepy. Like those zombies' screams from HL2...or the possibility that Termina from Majora's Mask may be the purgatory, and Link's journey is basically a process of accepting the death...

MM IMO is better than OOT only because its so much deeper in a sense. I mean it can literally be an adventure that never happened just like Awakening that is just how awesome it is!
