Majora's Mask Retrospective 

Majora is a far better villain than Ganon ever expected to be. The only reason he was defeated was because a random kid form a paralel dimension got a magic ocarina that could traverse time. Termina was completely doomed if not for that incredibly unpredictable fact that was probably orchestrated by some higher deity.

jmiquelmb Exactly how I feel. Hyrule felt so cliché as a story written by destiny, whereas Termina and its residents had accepted that their end had come with no hero to save them. Even Cremia was to give Romani some of the potent milk to keep her sedated through her untimely death. Majora didn't want to rule the world like Ganon, Majora just wanted to see it end in flames. A much darker, more evil entity overall.

Funnily enough, I know a guy who's doing a play based on a Termina without Link to save it.

Kinda funny how Fierce Deity and Majora are depicted as rivals but, when you put on the mask, the boss fight becomes a one-sided curbstomp. Perhaps the introduction of Link's sword abilities put the Fierce Deity over the top. :P

Dead Like Disco its also kinda ironic that majoras ,,orgin" also was a reason he failed. Without The Happy Mask Salesman Majora also would have succed. Dam, majora has some Bad luck

Well, there's the memory of Link that teaches you the song of time and the moon resembles Ganondorf's face; other than that, is almost like is not even the same world as OoT...

Though funny enough, Majora's Mask _does_ contain the Zelda series main theme (in the overworld melody iirc), where Ocarina of Time doesn't.

Termina is a parallel universe of Hyrule, like the Dark World or Lowrule

@@marcoasturias8520 i never really thought of that. ganon has giant nose like the moon, that's true

@@KingBobXVI they both have a variation of that theme but yea the majoras mask one is closer to the main melody

Agreed, never thought of it that way

I think they put them in just cause it’s cool as hell

He meant turning back time like you had to do in the game

@@Covenfan-lg4mx still dont get it but also I'm already super over it

maddogkilla1 The joke is that the developers of the game ran out of time to work on the game so they use the ocarina to reset time and try again, like you do in the game.

@@confucheese and @Covenfan1234 r/WHOOOSH

Pavel Krioukov you know they were going to make the time constraint a week? But I think myomoto decided to make it 3 days?

So you're saying the player is trying to bring his wrath? That makes no sense.

It's very meta that the developers created a game about time contraints while under a time constraint.

But who’s link

Mask Saleman = Miyamoto Majora’s Mask = Miyamoto’s Wrath Skullkid = Aonuma NPCs = devs struggling to finish game Moon = Miyamoto’s deadline slowly about to destroy devs

I never realised its his soul that goes into the deku scrub mask until quite recently... Just another addition to the list making up how messed up majoras mask is

@@Niflaver you mean how genius

Ivy - the - Demon and everyone cuz they’re all dead

Treacle Games no they’re not

How did his son get all the way to the beginning of the game?

How did u beat the ones behind the barn

@@Shokukun standing on the box gives the perfect angle to shoot all the ghosts. Even the one appearing behind the barn

I always did it like that XD it’s the easiest way

I just got on top of the house

I thought this was the right way honestly. I never did ride around lol

Nintendo did say they were going to try and make botw's sequel darker.

@Pokémon & FF fan good point

BOTW2 is going to be darker than majoras mask according to Nintendo, so you’re in luck

@Pokémon & FF fan Sure no one likes unnecessary edginess. That's what I didn't really like about TP. And yes OoT does give off that sense of urgency. I would say they also keep that motif of death and memory in there also. I think OoT could have done just a little bit more to emphasize that on a nuanced fashion like MM. I think where MM shines is that it is legitimately a weird wild adventure of a game. I think it helps that the antagonist isn't so much a person as much as it is an entity. And it pervades the world of termina in weird and wild ways. The game truly embraces it's eerie atmosphere and weird outlook through out the said journey. It's confident in what it is and it shows. The more serious motif's that the game shows are just a result of that said confidence. I hope that for BOTW 2 they are able to actually convey dark themes without being cringey. Because they can do it, and I hope they take notes on what they did right with MM.

@Pokémon & FF fan my apologies but I do think grounded fantasy is pretty edgy just for the hell of it. But I get if you didn't feel that way. TP just wasn't for me, and it fell short in a lot of places IMO

This is true for me as well. Zelda Majora's Mask is a very empathetic and compassionate videogame. A grand masterpiece.

I liked stealing the goron’s hotel room.

@@stza16 you mean inn? what hotel lol?

@@matteulberg3690 I stand by my comment.

I liked how even tho you saved everyone they're still suffering, like the song of healing can't heal everyone, you can't stop their pain well you can but there's not enough time, you can't heal everyone but you can ease it, but stopping the moon you let them live longer so they inevitably heal by themselves

Well lol, you can also use the letter to Kafei's mom to give to him. Such heartfelt words, such an emotional message... and now they are just toilet paper!

That's why I use it on the first night when you first start playing because the deed is useless on the first time before you get the Ocarina back.

luigimario1991 Either MM or MGS3 is my favorite,what a hard choice!

luigimario1991 Yes, much unlike the new Zelda game.

PerseusSagittarius Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

luigimario1991 I mean, I wish Nintendo would have taken inspiration from Majora's Mask to create Breath of the Wild. They have not, in my view. I believe they themselves don't understand how brilliant MM is.

PerseusSagittarius Breath of the Wild isn't trying to be Majora's Mask. It's trying to be a bigger better original LoZ.

You'd probably love the thief series then, thief 1 adn 2 had such hauntingly spooky tracks that were somehow also hypnotically meditating and lulling. i would also recommend the games as well, i find thief adn thief 2 (on steam even) to be the best gaming experience ive ever had. do use tafferpatcher for modernizing it and fixing bugs that might appear on newer systems.

Nothing relevant to add to this except that im 2 years late

You really feel the impact of that is placed on the world. Like, "holy shit. This is actually happening"

play this song when you find yourself in a stressful situation. i did that one time when i was so nervous because i had only a few hours to do something that makes me feel sad/anxious. i mean, this song is so powerful - while i was feeling relaxed, i still felt a bittersweet feeling of anxiety

I imagine some guy on technical support on some kind of team would be like “Mission failed, I’m sorry.” Just me

​​@@oak7741 Side quests are the only thing done better that ocarina. Pretty much everything else is a downgrade I like MM to, but the side quests are great while everything else is poorly made

Mario Castaneda wow they changed that? That's disappointing.

Mario Castaneda You can still make ice wherever you want. The sparkles are for guidance, they aren't the only places you can use the ice arrows.

The only place you can create ice platforms freely on the 3DS remake is on Gyorg's room for some unexplained reason. I say it because there's a Stray Fairy you can get earlier in Stone Tower with the help of an ice platform, which is impossible on the 3DS

Mikau Black Which Stray Fairy is this, out of curiosity?

Cloudycanine On the room where you get the map, while the Temple is straight, it's filled with water, and underwater is a sun switch right under the bridge. Create an ice platform from the side on the surface and fire the light arrow to activate it. At this point I can't recall if the chest that spawns is upside down or straight tho. Since this sun switch in question is right below the bridge, there's no way to toggle it until you reverse Stone Tower.

Glad I'm not the only one who knew this!

it's useless because you can't get the Gorman Mask until you get the Romani Mask...which you can only get if you ride on Cremia's carriage for the first time i guess you could say the Gorman Mask helps you get that "hug" lol

Its called the Circus Mask btw

i think my 3rd time playing the game i did that and it was just hilarious to me, i loved it so much with how quickly and wildly they changed by taking it on and off.

one part I didn't like Is how all the dungeons had a f*cking time limit

The ultimate cause of terror and grief for all of Termina should probably be less of a pushover, especially when wearing the Fierce Deity Mask. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

deffdefying he’s more like Loki in that it’s his trickery and trolling nature are his strength, not the same old Ganon power thing.

Yeah much more menacing than... well what ganons been given tbh, as much as i love Ganon hes got less work cut out for him as an Evil Villain than even Bowser, Bowser normally outright makes himself an enemy to Mario from the Start of his games normally. I can get the story structure and enjoy it, but OOT was just... a sadder Hyrule, a more corrupted Hyrule, more Monsters in Hyrule, the people feel like they've lost hope but they also fled to Kakiriko Village just... a short walk away from a zombie infested and burned town. i get the map is small but it didnt really feel that impactful other than losing the Castle and market, for... whats essentially the same market in the future. Majoras Mask actions and curses felt fuckin horrifying by comparison, the curse on you at the start, passing by the body of the poor sap he probably drained to curse you with, how helpless you are with it, and yet even after the mask salesman cleanses you of this bizarre condition with a yet even more bizarre method, it doenst ease up the questions and meaning behind it, the Gorons mask, Zoras Mask, both didnt make me go "YIPPIE I GET A NEW MASK" it was more sullen and sad to see them go, less so the Goron and his happy ending cause thats a more so good end but the Zora dies failing to complete his quest, hopeless and giving into despair. Kafei is just like you too, cursed with no cure, not even the good ending cures him of this new body... i can only assume he had the height and posture of a lady killer and now ashamed of what became of him. Skull kids actions really hit the mark on a lot of what some enemies tried in previous zeldas, affecting the world but actually being able to interact with the people of all kinds and backgrounds, like the sharp brothers to this random farm chick, to this Goron trying to get a room, and their problems... really helps you sympathize with them. not jsut that you can see that the world even without interacting wtih them is pretty steeped in that depressing solemn miserable feeling despite the bright adventure of a hero and the action. Actually imagine such a magical creature for no reason fucking with you, taking your pet and coming back because he decided he didnt like the pet, cursing you into some other race/form and then what? you get cleansed sure... but what if he can do that again? he really had such great displays of power that stuck with me. Vaati was pretty similar imo, actually getting to show off his prowess throughout the game made him more threatening a foe, OOT does have ganon overtake the town and his private floating castle over lava, he blasts you when youre a kid, but he never displayed something like petrifying the princess, winning a tournament, cursing the hero out of spite or to hinder him, etc. im hearing some lore now in BOTW adn the new lore Nintendo is shoving on everyone because too many idiots tried making sense out of an already nonsensical timeline that didnt exist... adn its now... that Ganon is the evil everywhere... all the time... in all the places... but even this kinda just... trivializes it for me. feels like a rip off of Satan but Satan would have such a grasp and minions to do such work in all the time, places, etc. As for Ganon, idk, i think i'd prefer it more Middle Earth's style like Melkour corrupting the elves, early man, making his own demons and dragons through his corrupting power and having suhc power because he was the strongest of the original high Angels before the beginning of this world... kinda scale... again like Satan but the power seems to work that way and there's credit for such amazing amounts of power... idk what Ganon did in BOTW that really warrants such power, and in other Zelda games hes the Tyrant of evil, King of Evil, etc, JUST BECAUSE HES THE BAD GUY, or touched the triforce of power... it feels... unearned, just granted because hes a favorite villain, versus earning that power or showing how powerful he was with it.

And the satisfying justice. You see how everyone was done wrong and you bring justice.

i just wish he was more active and compelling, I wish he acted more like bill cipher

it only tells you in the 3ds version

@@QueenSabrina335 Yes. And he's defending that by saying "it doesn't spell it out for you" when in fact the game spells it out for you.

It also removes the freedom to explore with the ice arrows. For example, with enough magic and arrows, you can deku hop across ice blocks to reach the outside of the great bay temple in the original.

@@jacobmonks3722 yea you can but it's not actually there. It's just a texture.

that can change in the sequel

Hawks so what

ehhh, botw dungeons r rlly boring. they're all the same concept and design, unlike the the n64 zelda games.

BOTW had 0 Real dungeons - Imagine a Zelda game with no dungeons....

Botw had some nice ideas in 3D dungeon design and variable dungeons and then made them last not even as long as the average weapon in that game.

You can still choose to skip in 12 hour increments and wait if you want tho. Adding this feature literally took nothing away from how you want to play the game

There are quite a few little changes to 3DS Majora's Mask that puts me off it. The biggest issue for me is the swimming in MM64 is so joyous, when I was a kid I used to go to the sea and swim around just for fun.. yet the 3DS version's swimming is incredibly obnoxious by comparison.

3ds version sucks. They screwed up the boss battles and swimming. The positives don’t out weigh the negatives. Glad they’re porting the n64 version for switch

@@thebenmidthun ​ @K3zster There is a fan patch/romhack for the 3DS version called Project Restoration which restores a lot of the stuff from the original (zora swimming, deku hopping, boss design, etc) but keeps the quality of life changes from the 3DS version, and even adds new quality of life stuff. I highly recommend it.

Same it just inspires you to play a slightly more tedious normal Zelda while the normal version is all about time management

It does make some sense, though the ALttP Link has more experience than literally any other Link. Granted, he only appears in 2D games so there's that :P

He taught himself gymnastics while still in the Lost Woods because wandering aimlessly looking for Navi became _boring as fuck_

Lmao. It makes perfect sense to me. Majoras mask is after OOT. Which means he still has the experience of being an adult. That means of course, he’d be more adept at using his young body. Anybody who had a chance to use their young body. Would most likely be more athletic then they were the first time.

I was looking for someone to say this in the comments lol

These were my thoughts as well. Which is a fun little hint to keeping your experience while reverting back in time, which happens continuously throught MM.

"You trying to leave? You gotta stay here and die like the rest of us!"

"I would much rather stop a kid from exploring Termina Field than stop a known criminal from stealing from a poor old granny because fuck grannies honestly"

In the final hours he's not trying to stop him, he's just trying to ask if Link knows whats going on with the carnival, and I'm pretty sure he encourages Link to run at the end.

He is dedicated

And as he has stated multiple times: it is his favourite -despite- beeing linear.

People are allowed to have exceptions. Not sure why his is that edgy mess, but still.

Damien Thonk The Zelda fanbase strikes again

i think it means he wants the nonlinear adventure but no zelda game has done an “adventure” as well as twilight princess did for him

I mean he did say that Twilight Princess is his favorite is his favorite because it does linear progression so well (paraphrased). Not my opinion but that is what he said. I think it was in the botw retrospective. He also said that linear Zelda, if done right is great or something like that.

How FUCKING dare you say that I do respect your opinion but I must say that it is not the right opinion. X

I think anybody prefers it to Ocarina tbh

Ocarina is kinda basic honestly. Majoras mask even with its flaws was something special.

Dude I couldn't figure out how to beat it, even as a teenager! I wish I would've dedicated more time and made an effort. I'll have to catch an emulator or something

Lol it happened the same thing to me, I messed up a couple of times and the moon was about to crash

d d danganronpa do do do dododo dododo do do do dododo dododo

That’s funny because in Ocarina of time he didn’t even use the Ocarina to traverse through time he used the master sword instead. However in Majora’s mask he actually depends on the ocarina to slow down or speed up time to save the land of termina. So technically in majoras mask he’s more like the hero of time than he was in ocarina of time

nO iTS hERo oF MAsks.

@@LiamMountifield true. it was the pedestal of time where the master sword rests. the ocarina only opened the door. which is why i love how they added the ocarina songs in MM.

yeah,it just makes the fight longer,not more challenging(also,i think you can still cheese the dude with arrows like in the original). what i also kinda dont get personally is how odolwa just standing there makes him more unique than being basicly the only boss ever with an anything goes-approach.

And those eyeballs look absolutely ridiculous

@Natalie yes I haven’t played the game but odolwa was absolutely murdered by the 3DS remake and how you beat him in the N64 version it’s a frantic fight with one clear rule first one to die loses but the 3DS version just makes it a linear set of actions to preform to kill him while he just stands there waiting to die just waiting for you to expose his weak point by flying slowly overhead.

@@nicholasiovino7690 All of this. Goht fight was awesome and unique because you spent the whole time chasing him down and ramming him. Odalwa fight was awesome and unique cause unlike every other Zelda boss with waiting for glowy eyeballs to appear, it was just a straight-up deathmatch. And the endgame silliness of steamrolling him in 5 seconds with Fierce Deity was hilarious. XD

In case people still haven't figured it out, but if you ran into his side instead of hitting him from the air or back, then he will fall to the side and you can hit the eye with the Goron. If anything, the problem is that they made this mechanic not obvious enough, because otherwise people wouldn't complain about the change.

Nah I did that as well.

The horse makes it harder to complete that quest. Really easy to just stand in place and shoot.

I never used Epona for that. I used the Bunny Hood and the pet dog, who barked at the closest alien.

Only had to be in two places during the entire event: In front of the barn and behind the barn. Slowing down time makes this insanely easy since the aliens are locked to the timeline.

@@davidmcgill1000 Oh I actually turned of the slow down because I thought it would made it harder because I had to fend them of longer. It was still pretty easy.

I’m sorry but I really dislike this throw away attitude that permeates the internet.

@@asmahism Nobody wants to read 4 paragraphs about you feeling some kid of way. Get out your feelings lmaooo.

Sorry but doesn't the banker give u a stamp that doesn't disappear after you go back in time, instead of knowing you traveled in time.

I disagree. Remember the bad end with the moon falling? Clock Tower gets destroyed. It's definitly affected like everything within Termina. No, Ruppees staying in the safe and being moved is just for the sake of player's convinience. I prefer it in the shopping district because it makes sense for anyone to use its service in the area where people uses money the most, where behind the clock tower which shows to be the least visited area in town unlike the front, makes less sense to me.

Time stopping within the Clock Tower is IMO a result of the Happy Mask Salesman's apparent supernatural powers.

J's Reviews ayy its J's reviews. Pretty sure i'm subbed to u lol Edit: i meant because of the broken subscribing system on youtube. Not sure if that was clear

J's Reviews k

Kinda reminds me of how people will complain that a dungeon was too hard or confusing just because it required some brain power when you were doing the exact opposite of that for most dungeons... like in OOT, eveyrone rags on the water temple's last bit, getting lost there and yet... when i did it myself as an adult i foudn out what the secret path was... by just using my map to check where i havent been... and i knew what the water level had to be at to get there... such a "puzzle" right? and yet it stomped everyone and became infamous... in much the same way Majoras Mask did the same thing with each hard adn difficult puzzle... my cousin found the gorons ice temple stupid and boring from watching me play it, haivng to push the column down as i progressed... while my brother who was impressed with how you could fire arrow the curtains in the Ikana boss fight and immediately told my cousin to shut up cause he didnt know anything about the game's complex puzzles. MM puzzles were meant to take up your time, they required some thinking often times, even figuring out what to do next, im still praising the water dungeon for having literally 1 key... the rest of the dungeon is figuring out how to get about with the water mechanics, ice mechanics, melting ice, flow valves, etc and the 4th temple requires you to turn the whole thing upside down and renavigate the old rooms with trying to remember how the ceilings were... much more stressful with the timer... but again, most people would opt for... jsut removing the timer system... or the difficulty of puzzles... etc. hell MM was by far the hardest Zelda ive played and it felt like enemies, even the ones on the field could be a challenge... mostly was the low free health since theres only 4 dungeons but damn, that felt good, vs just taking 1/2 a heart for FINALLY getting hit, halfway through the game as youre on some 12 hearts by now...

0ctopusComp1etely it's because we got older.

The time limit was always what made the game so devisive. Like you the time limit stresses me out and its sadly made me unable to enjoy the game.

Pretty much my take on the timelimit, as well as the fact theres only 4 dungeons, the over reliance on sidequests. I also feel people over anaylize majoras mask to make it more "artistic" its just not for me.

Isnt that the same pattern of almost ALL zelda games post OoT? People whined about MM. WW cell shaded graphics, SS too repetitive, breath feels empty. What i like is each game is criticized harshly but in Hidnsight all great in their own right

Honestly, most of the Zelda games since MM or WW have been really meh. TP is alright, it doesn't live up to OoT and MM, since it is kind of a sequel, and I do enjoy SS, albeit it is really repetitive. Haven't played BotW.

I'm the same

AcidHotLine Same here.

AcidHotLine Most people think that nowadays. I like Majora's weird, creepy and colourful world, characters, tension, side-quest focus, and multiple gameplay differences in the masks. However, Ocarina was the ultimate dungeon crawling experience, so while many of the side-quests make every continent feel like dungeons, Ocarina still had more dungeons, which is something I kind of prefer. Still everything else Majora did, aside from dungeons, was ultimately better.

blowskiol Maybe in the Zelda community in particular? I dunno, man, most people I know aren't really aware of Majora's Mask even if they've played other Zelda games.

AcidHotLine Actually most people I talk to say they like MM more,it's become the most liked Zelda by majority

Also I HATE how they gave the genuinely unique bosses all the standard "Hit big Evil Eye!!!" Strategy. That's cliche in itself

ocarina was too handholdy, like the whole game almost felt like one big tutorial. i almost immediately liked mm more because of the increase in challenge and decrease in handholding. also the story and atmospere just pulled me in a lot more.

@@Jack_80 Dark Souls and Elden Ring are the equivalent to a "mature" zelda game for all listed attributes.

MM will always be my favorite Zelda game ever. It tells a great story with great gameplay, even on a 2nd playthrough.

Also, the dungeons are great, but I feel like they do not have the same thick atmosphere as that in OoT. That have always been a let down for me.

That theory has been debunked my dude.

@@Marcuscaravan who cares if it was debunked, it's still a great correlation.

@@Marcuscaravan What theory? Link is Dead? Because I don't see any mention of it in Eirian's comment

deffdefying The Stages of grief theory.

No, you need to leave the temple.

The only red gem inside STT is the one in the block-pushing puzzle, as shown in the video. Otherwise you need to go outside

The only red gem inside Stone Tower Temple is in a puzzle room that stands by itself, and if you flip it you can't even exit the room.

@@jacobmonks3722 theres only 3 red jems. One outside, and 2 inside: one that has a block puzzle which is like a puzzle in FOP: Shadow Showdown, and one in a stand alone lava room that you simply nwed the goron mask to get by with 2 light arrows. The temple gives you PLENTY of magic and arrows, but you should generally bring a bottle with magic potion in it just to be safe.

Though you could argue that, now that he knows for certain what happened to his son, he at least gets closure.

I know I'm a year late to this, but I feel like both soundtracks have their merits. While I do prefer the original, the remastered soundtrack is easier to listen to outside of the game since it doesn't feel as dated, whereas the original soundtrack works better in-game. Just my opinion, but they're both good.

Pepe Roni I think because Great Bay is so confusing, it makes it a great dungeon. Getting lost is what I feel the dungeons should do well, as opposed to the thoughtless excuses for dungeons in the Wind Waker. That's just me.

Majora's Mask was one of the most difficult Zelda games because it allows the player to get lost without giving very many clues. It took me forever just to figure out how to get into the Great Bay dungeon, but I never had to look at a guide to get through any part of the game. It was tough but fair, and that is one of my favorite things about MM.

Well everybody is bound to miss some things :)

Wow, it's almost like he's human or something.

@@VonSnuggles1412 No excuse. He fked up.

@@rodjerdankist1125 yeah, I'm not denying that. I just didn't say it that way

@@VonSnuggles1412 No, you sugar coated it, which a lot of times is worse. Some things/people need criticism to grow. Otherwise they never will.

You can still do that in MM3D. Slightly slower, granted, but you can still dash across water and I believe due to the placement of lilypads leading to the Deku Shrine, you _have_ to spin before leaving the lilypad otherwise you take a dip.

no,it just completely halts your momentum to touch the water. they put the loadingzone further back to compensate for this. it just doesnt feel good since its not as fast

come on it's not that bad.
