  • In terms of difficulty it goes:

    Master Quest (N64)>Master Quest (3DS)>Original (N64)>Original (3DS)

    Master Quest is mechanically more difficult with additions to some fights and changes to the items. The 3DS versions are easier than N64 primarily because they modernize the controls in a way that involves less fucking around with menus but also some quality of life improvements (namely the iron boots)

    As to how much of the Original vs Master Quest will be in the new game? Hard to say. I would expect that the new game keeps the core dungeons and temples but within them expands the scope while also adding more mini games and probably a few new areas and side quests. Assuming it follows a normal Nintendo remake pattern






  • There is nothing crazy about this. Plenty of movies rerun the previous ones to hype up the new one and make more money. Avatar, Mission: Impossible, Dune, Mean Girls (which had actually been brought back to theaters multiple times) and Beetlejuice all did it too. It’s also in the same year they had a movie make 2 billion dollars, of course they want to continue the momentum. Finally, people want this, there’s a lot of hype for this








  • Currently reading: Children of Strife by Adrian Tchaikovsky (Children of Time #4). I really enjoyed books 1 and 2 in the series but found 3 to be a bit messy. This so far feels like a return to form and I’m enjoying it much more. The mantis shrimp seem to be an addition to stick to the older framework but I’ll reserve judgment once I’ve seen more from the one character we’ve met

    Just finished: Murder by Memory by Olivia Waite. An interesting little premise that blazes through so fast that you don’t really get to examine the scenery or dive into any ideas. It’s not bad, but if it’s aiming to be a cozy mystery the rapid pace seems discordant
