WOW, and I thought Ocarina of Time was a masterpiece. 
This is Majora's Mask, an N64 game released in 2000, and let me just say, this is as good, if not better, than Ocarina of Time. Now, don't get me wrong, Ocarina of Time was an amazing game. I still remember the days when me and my friend would grab some Cokes and try to get through the Water Temple (actually, that was last year). I'm pretty young, but I can still tell a good game when I see one (I'd take an old school game over Black-Ops any day . . . unlike most twelve year olds). However, when I played Majora's Mask on the Virtual Console, I was amazed. It was seriously that good. I couldn't imagine that any game could even come CLOSE to bettering OoT, and yet here was Majora's Mask, an under appreciated gem that single handedly 1-upped everything about Ocarina of Time, and here's how.

STORY: AMAZING. Truly SPECTACULAR. It seems that Myimoto got tired of the 'cute' story lines of past Zelda games, because MM has a very creepy, sinister, and downright disturbing plot. After the events of OoT, Link sets off on a journey to find his fairy, Navi, with his horse, Epona. He ends up in a mysterious woods, and as he rides Epona in deeper, two fairies named Tatl and Tael attack Epona, who shakes Link off and knocks him out. The main (or at least thought) antagonist, the Skull Kid, who was the same skull kid from OoT, shows up wearing Majora's Mask, and steals Link's OoT. Link wakes up, chases the Skull Kid, one thing leads to another, but most importantly, Link has three days to live. The side quests of this game have stories that weave into the glorious main story, and each has a different feel. The Anju and Kafei sidequest will have you cry like a baby, the "Them" problem at Romani Ranch will give you nightmares (like I did, MAN that music is freaky), and the Pamela's Father incident will have you s***ting your pants in horror when you finish it. It's amazing.

GRAPHICS: PERFECT. Textures are crisp and clear, and the water effects are brilliant. Not much to say here.

DIFFICULTY: HOLY s***. This game is HARD! Me and my friend I mentioned earlier can't get through any temples without a guide. That's a problem in most Zelda games; It doesn't give enough direction or guidance to the point that it's boring. Gyorg is a b****, so be prepared to get your balls cut off by a fish.

OVERALL: This game is just amazing. Do yourself a big favor and grab a friend, some Coke, and enjoy this game. You won't be sorry.

At first, I thought that this game was so boring because I had no idea what to do and you would have three days and would keep restarting it whenever you want.  Now that I have gotten used to it, I finally know how the game is and it sure is fun, but not as fun as Ocarina of Time.  Nice review.

Wow nice review for your first post and review ever! I never actually played through this game as I really did not find it all that inticing. For some reason I did not like this game or Ocarina all that much. Though they are supposed to be the best....

Nice review!
