Master Quest Confirmed for Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D

Master Quest Confirmed for Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

Nintendo has confirmed Master Quest, "new challenges" and a June release for the highly anticipated The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D.

Alongside a string of release dates, Nintendo confirmed previous rumours that the bonus "Master Quest" found in the GameCube version of Ocarina of Time would be included as an optional mode. The second quest shares the same graphical improvements and 3D effects, however introduces a totally revamped world, shuffled dungeons and an overall harder challenge compared to the main adventure.

Nintendo also reiterated previous reports that the game will contain "new challenges" not found in the Nintendo 64 original. Missing dungeons, anyone?

Ocarina of Time 3D will be gracing your palms on June 19th in the US and two days earlier on June 17th in Europe.

In related news, according to the Australian classifications board via Aussie Nintendo, Nintendo are not the main brains behind the 3DS port. Instead, Grezzo - the folk behind Line Attack Heroes, lead by Final Fantasy and Mana creator Koichi Ishii, are said to be working on Ocarina of Time 3D.

Update:
The Japanese site for the game also opened up today, complete with backing music, swanky new artwork and a June 16th release date for Japan.

I'm not gonna jump to conclusions about extra dungeons, but it would be amazing if there were.

Gonna have to see what sort of Zelda 3DS bundles will be out come June 17th.

Nintendo sure know well how to tease us, don't they? Smilie

"however introduces a totally revamped world" Wait, what? All there was to MQ were mixed up dungeons. Is that something new for the 3DS version? I'm slightly confused now. Smilie

Basically along with the 3DS update of the original ocarina game MQ is also getting a 3DS update. I.e. It won't be a port of the Gamecubes MQ.

Ahh ok, thanks. I thought they simply threw in the original MQ just with the enhanced visuals, 3D and whatever changes they made to the overworld.

CAN'T FUCKING WAIT. I LITERALLY JIZZED MY PANTS AFTER I SAW THE RELEASE DATE AND THIS WAS CONFIRMED. *jizzjizzjizz*

Sorry for caps, I'm just hyped. xD

Can't wait to see what "new challenges" are in it. Hopefully more dungeons!

Sounding great, I'd never played a Zelda game before Twilight Princess and found it delightful, day one purchase for me even if it didn't include all the extras! Smilie

Here's a Japanese teaser website with a beautiful new painting of Ocarina of Time and the Title music playing in the background: Hey! Listen! Click here! Smilie

I cut out the picture with Navi in a nice position if anyone wants to use it as a wallpaper. Looks awesome. Smilie

Just judging on the website, it seems like the soundtrack won't be improved. I know it's just a promo, but still, I wish one of the best soundtracks ever became orchestrated.
