They are more diffacult because they are in a full 3D world where you must constantly worry about camera angles, Jumping at the right angle, and some very annoying 3D puzzles.

So you can't see through walls. That doesn't make it much more difficult. The puzzles never really get that complicated, anyway. With the exception of Majora's Mask, but they made things difficult on purpose.

Its kind of depressing that almost nobody recognized him.

Very. It's a sad, sad day. D:

I'd say the freaky face is what threw some people off.

I never played very far in OOT or MM.

He's there from the start in MM. He wanders around clock town every day.

That guy was originally in Zelda OOT.

He was the final person you spoke to when play the Happy Mask side quest. He was always running around in Hyrule Field and wasn't very easy to find either.

He also appeared in Majora's Mask as the mailman... And though he was in Minish cap as well, OOT was the first place... If I'm not mistaken.

::edit::

upon going back over the thread, I see that this post is pointless to Ix's responce... oh well... no l337 feeling for me.

He was also the running man in OOT that you could never beat in a race. (He always won by 1 second)

For old link, yes...

I always thought that if you give him the Bunny Ears from the Happy Mask shop side quest while young Link, he should have them when you race him as old Link.

But I suppose I can find more important things to worry about.
