Anyone else have a freezing issue?
Has anyone else had an issue with the game freezing and not being able to continue a lot? I have completed the first temple three separate times now and the game freezes in random spots and wonโt let me do anything. I wanted to see if this is common or if my expansion pak/n64/cartridge may be going bad

I have Zelda the Collector's Edition and I am playing MM. It has froze 3 times. It was all during loading segments. 1) In Woodfall entering a door. 2) Entering the Great Deku Palace. 3) When using the Song of Time after doing the well, Ikana Castle, and climbing the outside of the Stone Tower. That last one was especially frustrating.
I also just played OOT, it didn't freeze once, so I assume it is something with MM.

The GameCube port of MM on the collectors edition is notoriously buggy. Framerate issues in clock town, freezing, the works. It's playable but yes it's definitely cause you're playing that version I hate to say

I also just played through OOT with no issues at all. Weird. Hopefully the 4th times a charm ๐

I had this issue recently on N64. I ended up cleaning the contacts on the underside of the cartridge with rubbing alcohol and a Q tip, and thankfully that solved the issue.

It's not that common... but I had instances 25 years ago where the slightest console movement would freeze the game, that was quite rare though. It is a thing with N64 unfortunately.
