A Fantastic Deviation 0

Nintendo is a company of franchises. Quality franchises no doubt, but Nintendo thrives on it's few killer properties. Zelda. Mario. Metroid. These games are all longstanding series, and whenever a new iteration is released, it includes some minor gameplay tweaks, graphical updates, and a new story; but the core experience generally changes very little. While these experiences are always solid, sometimes the same ol' same ol' gets stale. Enter The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Nintendo threw t...

Zelda: Majora's Mask Review 0

It may be that some have played only as far back in the franchise as A Link to the Past, but there are those among us who found Majora's Mask to be one of the most enjoyable Zelda titles to date. Inversely, many have criticized it for its not being "a true Zelda game," but this seems an unfair statement. At its core, Majora's Mask is a true Zelda title, sporting all the familiar elements: a multitude of items, challenging dungeons, impressive visuals and gameplay elements like its boss battles. ...

It's creative, and surprisingly dark and twisted for a Zelda game 0

With the success of Ocarina of Time, a sequel was in high demand, and fans wanted to play it as soon as they could instead of waiting six years for the next one to be released. Well, Nintendo heard the cries of gamers all over the world and two years later The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask was released for the Nintendo 64. The first thing you should know about Majora's Mask is that it requires an expansion set to play. So if you haven't played this game yet and want to, start looking on Ebay f...

Majora's Mask is truly a double-edged sword. 0

You've got a plan that could never go wrong. Taking a long vacation away from the world you just fought so hard for is what the doctor ordered. Exuberantly, you get on your steed and ride into the horizon. Yet darkness always waits unsuspectingly for the great Hero of Time, no matter the circumstance. Trekking slowly into an enchanting realm within a lush forest, you seem to detect something, but pay it no mind. There are ethereal spirits and wisps fluttering about the night sky creating an unse...

The Zelda franchise's own cult classic 0

Majora's Mask is a terrible Zelda game. There's no princess to save, there are only a handful of dungeons, and you're not even playing as the traditional Link for a lot of the game. Fortunately, if the game is taken out of context it shines just as brightly as Ocarina of Time, because it is able to expand outward from the usual Zelda trappings and become a truly unique experience. By focusing on a dark, off-beat world filled with  interesting, fleshed-out characters, the game creates an entirely...

Link's second outing on the N64 is his darkest one yet! 0

The darkest Zelda game out. It has a moon falling on the earth, a crazy kid with magical powers, a mask man after you and the good old ocarina/epona what more do you need? Zelda Majora's mask starts off where Zelda: Ocarina of Time end's off. With Link loosing Navi, he sets off with Epona into the dark. There he gets mugged by a flying kid with two fairies around him. It was a skull kid wearing a strange mask. Link chases him but he turns you into a Deku Scrub. Then one of the Fairies goes with ...

very goood game 0

Veryyyyyyyyyyyyy goooooooooooooooooooood game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i recommend this game to people who like adventure and meeting very strange but cool characters(the crazy moon and the mask guy) and you will be able to play as link.  This is one of the best games that Nintendo has to offer. The only negative side i would say is only the graphics from my opinion. ...

72 Hours, 24 Masks and Just One Moon 0

The main concept behind Majora's Mask is the three-day cycle--every event in the game takes place over the course of the same three days. Each hour roughly translates to about a minute of game time, so the cycle must be restarted every hour. However, very early in the game, Link finds a way to work around this time limit with his ocarina: Link can slow down the flow of time by about three times, he can skip forward to dawn or dusk of the current day, and he can warp to owl statues littered acros...

Majora's Mask is a Zelda classic. 0

The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask is an Action/Adventure game developed by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64, and it's the sixth instalment in the Zelda series. Majora's Mask is the follow up to Ocarina Of Time and is actually a direct sequel. While it has never been as successful as Ocarina Of Time, Majora's Mask is still a Zelda big-hitter and is one of the best games in the Zelda catalogue.The game follows child Link. After saving Hyrule from Ganondorf, Link leaves on a personal journey in search...
