I wouldn't say Majora's Mask is a particularly good game, but I would say you should play it for the atmosphere. It's weird and esoteric and dark in a very unique way, especially for Nintendo.

Like it wasn't bad and it was objectively good, but it didn't really do anything for me. if the ending doesn't make you cry I don't wanna be friends Guy Goodbody posted:What was hated about it? many people reacted very poorly to the fact that there are only 4 dungeons

LODGE NORTH posted:It's completely unconventional and was originally marketed as a sequel to OoT so people were expecting something like that but MM had to redoing things, figuring out outlandish secrets and all this other stuff people didn't really want to spend time doing. A more truer Legend of Zelda sequel than Ocarina of Time.

Majora's Mask 3D and Wind Waker HD are my two favorite Zelda games. Majora's Mask starts off really stressful and off putting, but actually it's great.

Plus the shorthand description by word of mouth (most people didn't have internet back then) was that you were kid Link the whole time and had to collect masks. It straight up sounded more like a kiddie game than it really was, so that was a huge turn off (I knew other people who felt that way and I did myself until years later). It came off as a side game more than the next Zelda.

It came off as a side game more than the next Zelda. That's pretty much how I remember it. Plus, it was the successor to OoT, which was a real hard act to follow. The general weirdness of it was a turnoff, but what ultimately kept me from playing it was it required that RAM addon or whatever, and I had just spent the last few years getting burned hard by Sega and their Genesis addon bullshit, so there was no way I was wasting another Christmas present on one weird game. I played it finally on N3DS and the mountain of hype didn't do it any favors. Not a fan. I like the creepypasta "BEN DROWNED" thing more than the game itself.

i feel like the world of termina would have been great if it didn't just straight up re-use assets and characters from the previous game like it would have been cool if it was it's own self-contained universe and had no relation to the world of hyrule kind of like how link's awakening did it General Morden fucked around with this message at 06:59 on Sep 26, 2016 |

what no Termina being a warped mirror version of hyrule is one of the best parts like yeah it obviously let's them reuse assets and that's part of the reason they did it, but they made it into a strength for the game

I can't help but feel as though you're missing the point of Majora's Mask with the reuse of assets, taking something familiar and doing something completely different with them. Would anyone really want Ocarina of Time 2, especially since when what was effectively Ocarina of Time 2 came out which was Twilight Princess people bitched about how derivative it was? But then again my two favorite 3D Zeldas are the two that's seemingly most disliked (Majora's Mask and Wind Waker) so maybe I've just got awful taste compared to the general Zelda fanbase.

Nah, those are the best Zeldas, I can confirm. Wind Waker is my personal favorite.

My problem with MM isn't really the time limit, more that everything resets except dungeons finished and masks, makes everything feel pretty pointless, which might have been what they going for but it didn't induce me to want to play it. Also getting into a dungeon or quest or anything then realising that you weren't going to have enough time to finish it before you'd have to reset sucked.

Also getting into a dungeon or quest or anything then realising that you weren't going to have enough time to finish it before you'd have to reset sucked. The thing is, the quests in Majora's Mask are things that tend to resolve themselves if the residents of Termina just had more time. You even see that in the ending montage, people can and do deal with their own problems but during the three day cycle they're so paralyzed with fear and a weird kind of optimistic disbelief of the moon crashing into them that Link has to resolve those issues for them. It's an interesting way of showing that while Link saved the world, life will go on and the various characters all have little stories and arcs of their own that get resolved.

If you don't love - not like, love - Majora's Mask, you're brain-broke. My condolences for your apparently insurmountable neurosis that prevent you from enjoying a brilliant, charming game.
