Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask 3D....might be a possibility?

[Alpha Six]

In my opinion side quests shouldn't be deep anyway.

And that's nice, but for a game like MM, "deep" side quests work. They add to the story, they give you more insight on the area and the characters, and they are just overall beneficial to the game. Even if in "your opinion" they don't, the fact of the matter is that they do.

Most of the masks you work your ass of to obtain only result in getting you one piece of heart. The payoff seems pretty bad, its a good thing I enjoy doing sidequests anyway but I can see why other people might be annoyed.

And four pieces of heart gets you a new heart container which allows you to survive longer... where's the part where this is a bad payoff?????????????

Not to mention one of the hardest quests results in the Fairy Sword which seems pretty pointless when you can get the Golden Sword which may not be as powerful but far more functionable. Yes the Fairy Sword is worse than the Goron Sword.

What?

The fact that the Great Fairy's Sword is a C-item makes it a lot more useful in general, because it does more damage than the Gilded Sword, you can use it on the fly, and then you can just put it away. It's not like Biggoron's Sword where you have to keep pausing the game and switching your weapon every time you want to go between the two. It's instant and it's convenient-- not to mention very situational.

Then again OoT had that Gerudo Training Ground which result in the Ice Arrow which are pretty useless in that game.

In essence, yes, the Ice Arrow is completely useless in OoT. But then again that's just another thing that MM is superior to OoT about (Ice Arrow creates frozen platforms on water? HELL YES WHY DIDN'T IT DO THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE)
