Majora 3D feels completely different to the original and not always in a good way. While some changes like the new bomber's notebook, the new double song of time mechanic and the pretty visuals are nice I honestly hate a majority of the new changes made.
Deku water hopping and zora swimming feel terrible now and really kill the pace of those sections. I hate the changes to the bosses the more I think about them too. The gyorg and odolwa fights are fine enough but the new eyeball weak point in the Goht fight completely breaks the pace of it for me and the twinmold fight goes on for too long. The giant's mask reveal is cool, but the giant gameplay feels super slow and clunky compared to the original and it's possible to run out of magic and be screwed.
This game is just very frustrating to me as someone who loves the original. If you had to choose between playing this or never playing Majora's mask you should obviously play the 3DS version, but the many inferior changes make it hard to recommend this version over the original with an emulator with a fast forward feature.
