Just to show I play Nintendo as well.
The N64 was the only Nintendo console I skipped. I just couldn’t afford two consoles and the PlayStation was obviously a better choice, but I still kinda wish I had gotten to experience Ocarina and Majora’s Mask when they were brand new and not years later on the GameCube. I played at my friend’s houses, but just hated that controller. The Wavebird made it a bit more palatable, but it was still just too “avante garde” for its own good. Feels like I needed yo shove a mop handle in the expansion port and use it as a trident.
I fired up my copy of Ocarina a couple months ago. To my surprise, all 3 save files were intact and not corrupted! Could not believe it.
So far, I rescued Princess Ruto, lifted the Master Sword and let Ganandorf gain his power, and now I’m an adult where Sheik is my companion.
EDIT: And I started inside Jabu-Jabu earlier.
How did you get the master sword without finishing Jabu Jabu? Normally you would need all three spiritual stones to get inside the temple of time where the master sword is.
They also rescued Ruto, so must have finished Jabu Jabu on that basis too
Best game ever made. Best controllers ever made. I’d love them to release a modern N64 controller!
I don’t know why but I always get stuck around the spirit temple and have to look up wtf to do. This has happened every playthrough and you’d think I’d remember it. Good luck!
