Today's game is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. today was exhausting and i really didn't feel like continuing Jedi Fallen Order tonight (still loving the game though), so i decided to take it easy and play Ocarina Of Time. I have a lot of fond memories of this game ever since i played the 3DS remaster in middle school. I'd probably put it in my top ten games of all time. I played through quite a bit and made it to Dodongo's Cavern. I've gotten kind of invested in this save so i may keep this up since i can milk a good 7 hours of battery life out of it on my steam deck and keep Fallen Order for when i'm at home on the Dock.

This is my favorite game like ever. Top ten at least. I love seeing that this is your comfort food of gaming 🥰

this is the first game that left me wanting more after i beat it. I beat the master quest again after, and now every year i play through it again

Enjoy this round through my friend, and don’t forget your Kokiri Forest roots and the Deku Wisdom.

I just finished playing this game on PC. I didn't know you could get Ship of Harkinian to run on a Steam Deck! I would've liked that so much more than using a mouse and keyboard!

last i checked you'd have to give up mods on Steam Deck, which sucks, but a small price to pay for definitely one of my favorite ways to play SoH because of the portability

If you're up for tinkering, there's a decent bit of mods for ship of harkinian. You can replace models with the 3DS ones, or even with Twilight Princess ones. There's also mods for higher resolution textures.

Lastly, check out all the settings. I forget what QoL are switched on by default, but there's a good amount of QoL you can toggle, like putting boots on the d-pad for quick equipping and unequipping so the Water Temple doesn't suck.

i looked into the mods a while ago, but last i checked they don't support Linux. which sucks because id take 3ds models over N64 any day

Fellow Linux gamer confirmed?

i've been caught. The Steam Deck is my primary gaming machine

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

If anything you're further selling me on buying one lmao. I've been drooling over an OLED for months

I also loved this game on the 3DS. I've recently been playing the N64 version as well, and I gotta say the 3DS version is so much better. I'm not sure what it is, but movement feels a lot less precise to me in the N64 version. I have some replays of me trying, and failing, to break a pot with my sword as adult link, like 8 times before finally hitting it.

Also, I finally understand why everyone hates the water temple. The iron boots aren't an item in this version, so you have to go to the equipment menu every time you want to put them on/take them off.

I loved the water temple on 3DS, and never understood why people hated it. then i bought a Cart of the N64 version... and now i get it

The iron boots mess is fixed in the PC (and etc) recompilation that OP is playing. Ship of Harkinian.

Oh yeah, totally forgot about that project! Hmm well might have to start over again then :)
