The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D Producer Gets All Into The Doggy Racetrack. February 2, 2015 . 1:00pm The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D producer Eiji Aonuma previously showed off his skills in the game’s shooting gallery as part of a video introduction series. This time, he gives us a tour of the Doggy Racetrack.

In order to get to the Doggy Racetrack, you’ll need to head outside of Clock Town at the Romani Ranch. Once Aonuma gets there, he decides to not give little Romani his name, which prompts her to call him Grasshopper-kun. We then get a first look inside the Doggy Racetrack, where you can see Mamamu Yan giving an explanation on what it’s about, and how you’ll need to bet at least 10 Rupees in order to participate.
The race is pretty simple. You won’t do any of the racing for yourself, but it’s pretty much like horseracing, where you choose a dog and take it to Mamamu to make the bet. 1st place gets triple the money, 2nd gets double, and anywhere from 3rd to 5th gets their money back, so it’s actually quite generous.
To test the waters, Aonuma goes with an odd-colored purple dog, and bets just 10 Rupees. While it starts off fine, the purple dog doesn’t do too well in the end. Similar to the previous video, Aonuma is offered a challenge: win 1st place using the Mask of Truth. The Mask of Truth helps you read the dog’s mind, so you can get a better idea of how the dog will perform in the race. After getting a few confident comments from various dogs, Aonuma decides to go with the dark dog that says that he has to win for his wife and child.
The producer hopes the dog will win for the sake of his family, but in the end, it just isn’t good enough finish in the top spot. Next, he tries going with a dog that had the most confident-sounding comment, but it still isn’t good enough.
In the end, Aonuma tells himself that he’ll follow his heart, and goes with the dog that is running for his family, as he figures that if he keeps trying a dog with the same comment, they’re bound to eventually win.
On his fifth try, he’s feeling a little more confident and goes with 50 Rupees. Unfortunately, he doesn’t win 1st place, but manages to get 2nd to double his Rupees. Hopefully he’ll have more luck with the next mini-game.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D will release in North America and Europe on February 13, 2015 for the Nintendo 3DS.

Zelda Producer Eiji Aonuma Tries Out The Mental Training Mini-Game Majora’s Mask 3Dsource: SiliconeraIn the previous episode of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D’s video introduction series, we saw producer Eiji Aonuma get all into the game’s Doggy Race Track. In the latest video in the series, he gives the Postman’s Mental Training mini-game a try.

The video starts out with Aonuma providing a short introduction to the Postman, who works for Clock Town’s postal service, and always does his best to make it on time for his deliveries. Upon stepping inside the Postman’s home, you can immediately see him doing his Mental Training on his bed, and he asks Link to not bother him while he’s in the middle of it. He then explains that his image training is about imagining himself running for exactly ten seconds.
The Postman says that it might sound silly, but it’s actually rather difficult, and asks Link if he’d like to try it for himself. The rules are pretty simple: all you have to do is press A to start, then again to stop when you count down to 10. However, the clock goes away after a couple of seconds, so the rest is up to your own timing.
Aonuma overshot the first time by over a second, as he was thrown off by the disappearing clock. On the next attempt, he went a little over again, but he explains that he used a trick he learned when he was in school, by counting in his head like “One, zero, two, zero, three, zero,” and so on. He tries again, and on the third attempt is still off by .73 of a second.
After seeing how he got close enough to 10 seconds, Aonuma asks if that’s good enough for now, but is then asked, “are you sure?” To which he responds with “so, that means no.”
Next, he tries saying it out loud, but that completely throws him off, making it go to 12.53 seconds. Aonuma then notices that the Postman can be seen nodding his head on the side, and it’s actually quite accurate when you count down along with his head. He decides to give his new trick a shot, but is then thrown off by the clock. Finally, the staff offers to let him use the Bunny Hood, which makes the clock stay on the screen.
Even with the Bunny Hood, it’s still a matter of timing, and Aonuma continues to struggle getting it down. Perhaps it could have something to do with his age making it difficult for him, as he previously mentioned during the Shooting Gallery mini-game.
He then continues to screw up a few more times, but to his disbelief, he finally gets it down on his 23rd attempt. Aonuma is totally ecstatic upon realizing that he made it, and says that he’s so happy, he feels that his happiness from the accomplishment will last him all day.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D will release in North America and Europe on February 13, 2015 for the Nintendo 3DS.
