The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

This is quite an engrossing game. It may be further testimony of its qualitly, that the only thing I could realy criticise it for would be its size. It's either too big a game or I'm getting too old for Zelda (nah - you're never too old) The "plot" would have to be one of the most unique around, but figuring out how the gameplay operates around the whole "3-day" concept is quite intriguing from the offset. I won't divulge any more for fear of spoiling it for any new players.

It's a refreshing addition to the N64 catalogue, with so many "samey" games out there at the moment. Definitely enough to keep any Zelda fan happy, and a must for your N64 collection. 8/10

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time defined a generation of gaming, becoming perhaps the definitive fantasy adventure game. The story, soundtrack, and gameplay are phenomenal, and there's a reason the game is still highly regarded to this day. However, one of the most surprising things about Ocarina of Time is that its' sequel managed to be just as good, and perhaps even better.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is a very surreal experience, with a darker feel than it's predecessor, and a wildly unique story. I have yet to find another game in which the gameplay, story, atmosphere, and soundtrack all blend perfectly. The world feels alive in ways no other game I've played does. And when you consider the rushed develop time, it's amazing the game is as good as it is.

While debate can (and will) rage on as to the best games of all time, Majora's Mask earns a spot on that list, just as it's predecessor did. I freely admit that it is my personal favorite video game of all time, and it's well worth a look by any gamer.

The Legend of Zelda has become a classic to every gamer in the world, especially to me. The original Nintendo game caused a major revolution on gameplay back in 1987 and never truly grew old. Zelda II: The Adventure of Link also provided some terrific moments despite being the worst chapter in the series. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past delivered the finest hours of gameplay ever seen, beating every other Zelda game. I never played the Game Boy games despite the positive reviews I've heard about Link's Awakening, Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. Zelda entered the 3D universe through the N64, delivering the classic in its most realistic inception, achieving perfection. Ocarina of Time was an unforgettable game that I still enjoy playing.

Now Majora's Mask has joined the Zelda series providing extra hours of fun. While this game follows the time period of Ocarina of Time (as well as that game's engine), Majora's Mask is actually different from any other Zelda game I've ever played.

At first, I was disappointed by Majora's Mask, but then I saw the beauty of this masterpiece. The story becomes more personal than the previous games. While the previous Zelda adventures dealt with Ganon, Princess Zelda, the Triforce and Hyrule's destiny, Majora's Mask strays from the common path and delivers a fresh new insight into the Zelda universe, proving that the story of the series isn't entirely dependent on the Zelda/Ganon/Triforce legend.

Technologically this game is a brilliant achievement! It builds on the previous game's engine. Graphics are definetely enhanced as well as some of the sounds. I was overjoyed to hear the traditional Zelda theme music which had disappeared in Ocarina of Time. This game makes good use of the Expansion Pak required to play it by reducing frame rate and adding depth to the 3D landscape. I was worried this game might disappoint me in that department. It has been five years since the N64 entered our houses. With the presence of both the Dreamcast and the Playstation 2 as well as future PC releases, Nintendo can't rely on the N64 much longer. It's reaching old age already just like the Super Nintendo had back in 1995. It's time to move on. Since this is the final Zelda produced for the N64 we'll have to wait a few more years for Nintendo's next release on the next platformer.

This game truly showed some new details previously unseen in Zelda games. This is the first Zelda with a time constraint. You have 3 days to save the world of Termina from a falling moon. You have to perform a lot of tasks within this time period and periodically go back in time using the ocarina. Collecting masks has become the prime motivator of the game's storyline. This game also features an unusually large number of pieces of heart Link is supposed to collect as compared to previous games. Playing Majora's Mask gives a different feeling compared to the other games and can be just as addictive as the others are.

This game can provide highly entertaining and challenging hours. Nintendo deserves an award for their incredible work on these games. They maintain a high level of quality unparallelled in the gaming industry!

Yes, you may laugh, but I actually LIKE, no wait, ADORE this Zelda game. A lot may have hated it, but to me, it was a breath of fresh air.

Like "Link's Awakening", Majora's mask is one of the few games that have very little or nothing to do with the Princess herself. Instead, it follows Child Link after his long quest in OoT. He searches for his friend (a bird faced scarecrow child), but as he does, he learns about a dark secret. His friend is possessed by a demonic mask and starts to wreak havoc. As Link pursues him (it?), he stumble upon the world that his possessed friend is causing trouble in. If that is not worse, a great conjunction will come, and the planet will collide with the moon in THREE days, so Link must go travel back and forth in time to save this world and his possessed friend before all is lost.

Between Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time both of them are awesome but Majora's Mask pull ahead, due to original plot and a lot of loose ends to tie up. The game is very non-linear, leaving you with a lot to see and do.

Thank goodness they released this on the "Zelda Collection" on the Ninendo Gamecube. I do not regret playing this at all.

BTW, the strange kid in the game is quite cute without Majora's MAsk ^_^

Excellant game! This Zelda title takes Ocarina Of Time's engines further: Time never stops, even when you're in a dungeon, and the Three Day repeating aspect really makes this game quite differant from the other Zelda Games.

But, several classic favorites return to this game, such as the full classic Zelda theme, rehashed into more of an action peice then a march, and a lot of favorates from Ocarina of Time, such as the shooting gallery, and your trusty steed, Epona. you can use your bow and Arrow while riding her, and this time, the main feild is full of enemies. perfect for target practice. The music is not quite as involving as before, but it is still a pretty good game.
