Hey! So I've recently began playing Majora's Mask for the first time, and I'm in the Woodfall Temple. But I've been watching a lot of videos, too, and here's a list of things I love/hate about this game.

 

Pros:

**I love the music. Specifically, the song of Healing. It's just epic.

** I love how the game is so dark. I feel like Twilight Princess tried to copy this formula, but it didn't work as well.

** The story is just amazing.

** Come on, it's about the apocalypse. How does that not come across as awesome?

 

Cons:

I freaking HATE the Eloquent of Emptiness statue (or something like that) I find it terrifying. Like. wtf Nintendo? And especially after reading the Ben's Drowned Creepypasta, it's even more disturbing.

And I hate that moon. (Shivers)

 

What about you? What's your favorite LoZ game, and why?

It's a cross between Majora's Mask and Wind Waker, they both are really good games and have a really interesting worlds to explore.

 

P.S ReDead's are creepy as EFF.

Majora's Mask is my absolute favorite. I feel like everything in the story just works together to make the game so awesome. And seeing these sort of... emulations of OoT characters just makes the game feel the way it is.

My favorite Zelda game is a tie between Twilight Princess and Ocarina of Time.The awesomeness of those two is something I can't describe with words.

 

They've called the series the Legend of Zelda because it's a "LEGEND" that lives on.

 

26 years of awesomeness

Ocarina of Time is my favourite that I've actually played.  It's part of my childhood (had the original on the N64 before I moved when I was little, now I have it on the 3DS),  requies you to actually think, has a number of side quests and a heroine who isn't completely useless (e.g. Peach..) 

I'd like to try Twilight Princess since it looks pretty great and has a good storyline from what I've read/seen, but I don't have a wii (or a gamecube)

I saw Majora's Mask and I freaked o_o Me likey this topic !

Majora's Mask was and remains to be my favorite Zelda game.

Funny fact about me is: I actually was never aware of the fire arrow until I reached Ganon's castle,all the time I was using bombs and sticks to light the torches in the dungeons,it was only in Ganon's Castle when my friends told me about the fire arrow.It's actually a great thing that the game awards you for being creative and encourges you to think unlike most games in this console gen where all you have to do is shoot shoot shoot.

 

As for Zelda,I liked the fact that she disguised as Sheik and continued to help you instead of being a damsel in distress everytime(like Peach: Maaarrriooo saaave me)

My favorite are Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword. You know, because those are the ones I got to play

Oh, and Link's Awakening

The only thing I think I don't like, is that sometimes they make the game way too easy... With those friends that give hints. But I still love the series

zelda ocarina of time is by far my favorite zelda its part of my childhood after all oh and Majoras mask is the only one in the series i really just cant stand

Ocarina of Time and SKyward Sword remain to be my two favorite Zelda games to this very day. the story in both games are just so emotional an fantastic.

My favorite overall is OoT, if only because it was the first game I ever loved enough to play through all by myself.

 

Majora's Mask, though.  That is a very, very close second.  It did have a darker theme like Twilight Princess, but it was deep in a way that puts it waaay above TP. The first time through, pretty much all I got was a lasting fear of cow-thieving ghost-aliens.  But after sitting on it for a while, I have come to see the different levels to it, and see how real the symbolism is.

 

The whole game can pretty much be summed up by the questions that the moon children ask you. 

 

"Your true face... What kind of face is it? I wonder... The face under the mask... Is that your true face?"

"The right thing... what is it? I wonder, if you do the right thing, does it really make everyone happy?"

"What makes you happy? I wonder... what makes you happy... does it make others happy, too?"

"Your friends... What kind of people are they? I wonder... Do these people think of you as a friend?"

 

And those four questions tie straight into the mask theme, and the theme of each mask.

The people around you have their masks, for different reasons.

Fear masked by duty, Loneliness unseen behind a mask of stone, sorrow hidden by a face of rage and destruction.

You get the picture.  Don't let your masks control you, and don't be fooled by the masks other people wear.

 

SO MUCH AWESOME!!!

 

Sorry for the very long ramble.  I just love this game so much...

I love Majora's Mask. I could go on for days as to why, but one of the biggest reasons is Clock Town and everyone in it. Most games don't really give a second thought about the NPCs, but in Majora's Mask, everyone seems to have a story. Everyone has a different reaction to the fact that the world is ending, and you can sympathize with all of them. For instance, right outside of the Clock Tower, where the scaffolding is, you have the one carpenter yelling up at the guy atop the scaffolding, telling him to get to work, but then on the third day, in a apologetic tone, he tells the man that he's leaving, too. He's been driving this one worker for at least two days in impatience and frustration, but at the end of it all, he thinks of his coworker as a friend and tries to make sure that they leave on the right note.

 

Or how about the other Carpenter in near the Clock Tower who stares and grumbles at the Soldier recruiting sign? As the son of the head Carpenter, he's inherited his father's dislike for the more cautious home guard, and tries to act as defiant. As time goes on, his tone seems to be more the case of trying to convince himself that he's brave enough to stay through the Carnival, rather than telling anyone else. And then, sure enough, at the end of it all, he does indeed wind up leaving.

 

Speaking of the Head Carpenter, he spends all this time trying to convince the Mayor to keep the party going, defying the moon to fall, in spite of the fact that everyone knows it's going to but him. True to his word, the carnival does go on,  but he's the only one standing there, defying the end of the world until the end. That's a great strength of character: the world is literally about to fall apart around him, but he refuses to budge, even when the thing he's celebrating has essentially become moot.

 

Man, I love this game.

Man, I love this game.

^ This too.  SO MUCH.

Ocarina of Time was definitely my favorite Zelda game.  I was so excited when Majora's Mask came out because I wanted a sequel to the game I loved so much, but I just felt it didn't live up to its expectations.  It's so incredibly DIFFERENT than Ocarina of Time, and I hated the flow of time and saving methods.  I'm the type of gamer that likes to save every couple hours though, which might be why this game and I just didn't get along too well.

 

Ocarina of Time, I thought, was much simpler.  I loved the dungeons; they just felt so original.  The only one I truly disliked was the Water Temple, but after the first play-through I've managed to figure it out and it's nowhere near as hard as it once was.  The soundtrack cannot be beat, nor can the Gerudo.  I loved the storyline; it had just the right amount of depth and something about it felt real.  Some of the Zelda games I've played have good gameplay, but awful story.  Another thing I really liked was the size of dungeons.  It might just be me, but I thought Majora's Mask's dungeons were huge in comparison.

 

And maybe I just love Ocarina of Time because it was the first 3D Zelda game ever released and I'm just biased.  I don't know, lol, but whatever it is I love it.
