When Nintendo released an enhanced version of Ocarina of Time on the 3DS, fans everywhere were delighted with joy at one of the best games ever being available with spiffy new graphics. However, a group of fans wondered if Majora’s Mask, one of the more unique Zelda titles, would see the same treatment. A lot of gamers and journalists even had Majora’s Mask for 3DS being a E3 reveal, which sadly it was not.
In an interview with Kotaku, Mr. Aonuma addressed this situation.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."
Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.
Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.
'The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask' is a testament to Nintendo's game development skills.
This game is so trippy when one considers Link is dead, and tripping in limbo or something.

ill never forget my first experiences with MM, and its why its my favorite zelda title
Majora's Mask, a major oddity in the series as the game is shaped around the story rather than the story being shaped around the game as Nintendo usually does. It wants you to be invested in saving the world and all the unique individuals in it. The game was made so fast too, this is really its saving grace. Certain aspects of the original game technically are a bit rough (poor Z targeting getting made into jank), and the boss fights just generally aren't good in either the original or the remake. The dungeons themselves are generally actually pretty interesting, but the true draw is everything that happens outside of them ultimately.
Such a gnarly game! The gameplay is so varied because Link can transform into totally different characters. Swimming around as a Zora was so chiilll
Good, a lot of people didn't like that Zelda but I did! I will admit that I really wasn't to interested at the time of release but after a couple of years I played it, beat it and it was really good. I think it was one of the darker Zelda titles despite the protagonist, "Link" being a kid.
It's almost as if Nintendo don't want our money lol MM on 3DS would sell like hotcakes.
Majora's Mask holds as my favorite of the series. I would love another Zelda taking on the same darker tone that it did.
I wonder if he ever saw that crazy azz trailer
