This is my favorite Zelda game of all time, so lets get started.
Majora's Mask was released in the year 2000 for the N64. It was a direct sequel to Ocarina of Time and made in under 2 years, so they reused NPC models to quicken the process of delevopment. The story begins with our little green hat Link as he is looking for his fairy friend Navi. While looking in the Lost Woods, he is ambushed and knocked outed by 2 fairies. (Their names are Tatl and Tael.) Then Skull Kid, wearing an odd mask comes out of the mist and steals your Ocarina. Link wakes up and Skull Kid hid the Ocarina behind his back (in a funny way) and jumped up in the air and stole Epona, your horse. Then you chase him, then you fall into a hole. Skull kid is floating in the air and turns you into a Deku Scrub. You go through some catacombs with Tatl (since she was left behind) and you enter The clock tower. You meet the Happy Mask Salesman and he promises to you if Link gets the mask back from Skull Kid, He'll turn you back to normal. This story is as I see it very compelling since you later find out, it's 3 days until the apocapylse. The normal story is quite bland, but then you find the real deal. Side quests. The game is surrounded by them. You can do the Creamia and Romani side quest or you can do the longest side quest, The Anju and Kafei side quest. The side quests add depth to the story as you progress, and I really like that.
Story: 8/10
Depth:9/10
Addictiveness: 8.5/10 Since the world's about to end, you really have a push to complete the game for the NPCs won't die. (Except Tingle, I want him to burn in the inferno )
Game play: 9.5/10 This game has really good game play. The controls are stiff, the dungeons in this game are full of puzzles, and there might be bad things puzzles (like the one in the Great Bay Temple? But all is forgiven.
Sound: 10/10 The music is the best in the series. I sometimes just stay in the Stone Tower Temple to just hear the music.
Graphics: 7.5/10 The graphics are FAR better then Ocarina of Time, but this shows some age with the polygons.
Difficulty: 9.5/ 10 This game is, in my opinion, the hardest Zelda game in exisitence. But it's fun to play .
Overall: 9.5/10 This game might have a darker story then most Zelda games, but it is easily forgiven with great Temple design, memorable NPCs, and a superb story. I recommend to any Zelda fans for a good challenge. (Don't try this game if your a Zelda newbie, it get pretty hard.)
