I've finally caught up to this thread! :woop: I am actually, myself, playing Majora's Mask for the first time (well, Majora's Mask 3D) so I've had to hold off until I was pretty sure I was past wherever you were. And I'm just about at parity, so as long as i keep playing I should get to keep watching videos as they come out now!

I have to admit my attempts at Goron racing went almost exactly the same way yours did.

I love everything about Romani Ranch. :allears:

I love how there's a whole Hylian X-COM Horse Archery Cow Defense subplot. I love that when you practice for it you get the the goofy, banjo-rear end horserace theme. I love how in the aftermath you have to defend the milk from raiders by "discouraging them with your arrows." Yes. discouraging them. And then I totally lost it with Cremia's little speech about growing up.

Congratulations, Link! Today you are a man. Here is your cow mask to represent this important life milestone.

I suspect this is because one of the things that's been striking me in Majora's Mask is how Link isn't really a kid anymore. He can can wield sizable blades, and the Hylian shield, as well as any Knight. Most shopkeepers see him as just another customer, even if they sell weapons. The soldiers had to double-take, but they only make the mistake once and are totally embarassed about it.

But none of that matters, you know? What matters is a cow mask.

Teach a fish to man, and you get :krad: guitar solos.

Mikau's voice clips remind me of Rayman for some reason.

Whether or not there was an apocalypse in the backstory of Knytt Underground is something the characters themselves debate. The surface is definitely toxic to the characters, and humanity has vanished, but they aren't clear what happened.

The player is invited to make some shrewd guesses though.

That was some physics, I tell you what. I've never seen Zora Link do the backstroke before.

The biggest question I have, though, is this: how were the Ice Arrows going to make all those pirates rich? They were so jazzed about the prospect of looting the great treasure from the temple, and, well, even if we discount their Failure To Infiltrate the grand prize would have been a blast from the Sad Trombone of Time.

I wouldn't go quite that far, Epona is hella sweet in Twilight Princess since you can light enemies up from horseback so easily.

That's not N64, but I don't otherwise disagree. Epona's role in the final battle is probably about half of why I remember Twilight Princess more fondly than, like, everyone.

Congratulations on finishing my second favorite Zelda game of all time! I still have a soft spot in my heart for Doctor Kill's run at https://lparchive.org/Legend-of-Zelda-Majoras-Mask-and-Randomizer/ - it's not as Super Wrong as OoT but that's in part because Majora's Mask is so very wrong on its own.
