So this is nice, Master Quest is in this version, only improved a bit. While it seems the dungeon changes are the only "world" changes, there is one minor alteration that should get one lost a few times even in the overworld. It seems the whole map is now mirrored. Interesting, I suppose, in the same way the mirrored world in the two versions of Twilight Princess is interesting. Also, this Master Quest has one extra thing adding a bit of challenge, you take double damage. It should be interesting. One difference in this case is the need to beat the "normal" mode to unlock Master Quest. Well, it's not like I wasn't going to do that anyway.
This is cool, as it's the first time the Master Quest has been made more widely available than a pre-order bonus. It does make me curious. Will they ever decide to do the same treatment to Majora's Mask? I loved the intricate detail on all those side character's lives. It's why I think I may rate that game a bit higher than Ocarina personally, but it's close.
Anyone have this yet? I'm curious how they handled the places with pre-rendered backgrounds (outside the temple of time, hyrule market's panorama, a number of house interiors). Are they still pre-rendered but in higher resolution, or are they now all handled with the in-game visuals?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
