BEFORE YOU READ I AM AWARE REDHOTTODAY HAS JUST REVIEW THIS GAME
He PMed me to say he had made one whilst I was typing up mine!!



Welcome my fellow readers of vizzed. This my second review and I have gone on to share my opinion of the Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask. Remember to give me feed back and suggestions on what to do next (after I review Mega Man 4).


The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask


Why I played this

I had played a few Zelda titles before, like Ocarina of time and the Phantom Hourglass, but had never hear of this one. Mainly because I did not own a N64 and there is no remake of it. At the time I was into reading Creepypasta's related to gaming and wanted to see if there were any decent Zelda pastas. I quite quickly came across the CreepyPasta BEN, and luckily for me it was mainly video. I watched through them and did not notice what game it was since the design I did not recognise. I did some research about the pasta and found it was based on the Majora's Mask. I looked on the Wii e-shop if there was a download able version of the classic and that is where it brought me now. So believe it or not it was the BEN creepypasta that got me into this game.


Story

The storyline producers must of been made up of a bunch of Shakespeare's. I thoroughly enjoyed playing in Link's role in this very well written story.
I think the fact that you have to keep going back and forth through time in this space of 3 days really puts a twist on this tale. At one stage near the beginning of the game you have to wait the whole three days as a Deku Scrub until the festival which is inconveniently 6 minutes before the world ends and most people have evacuated. Once the festival door opens you take back the Ocarina of Time and return to the very first day, and start the 3 days again but with a new adventure as human Link.
I have not seen a Zelda title if not any game with a better story than this master piece.


Graphics

It may be on the same console as Ocarina of Time but has stepped up to raise the bar to what I say is one of the best looking games the N64 produced. It is slick in most areas, Links new texture is good. There are obviously a few bad designs but we have to show respect since on a cartridge based console this is tough.
The one scene that stands out the most for me is the part where Skull Kid uses the Majora's Mask to change Link into a Deku Scrub, at the beginning of the game. The Deku Scrubs in Links trippy dream really have a lot of detail. When I first saw this, I though I was playing a remake.


Sound

The audio quality was also above the N64 standard. Some songs you can tell were rushed, and others were copied other from previous ports like Saria's song. But the song of healing had a lot of work put into it (the one in the clock tower, not the one when you talk to the Happy Mask Salesman). I had always loved entering the clock tower to be greeted with those Synth Strings, but then that is ruined by the Happy Mask Salesman.


Depth

There is a lot this game offers, like Time Travel, Transformation, Traveling to the moon and much more. As I have mentioned before there is no other Zelda title like it. The amount of masks there are really puts more depth into it since every one will Transform you into something else (apart from the bunny mask). The difficulty on this game can range depending on the way you play it. You only have three days but technically an infinite amount, even if you don't do the fourth day glitch.
That is all I really need to cover on this game. If you want any more info on this game let me know. I may even do a full walkthrough on it if I get high enough requests (and if someone else has not done it). Remember to give me feed back and your opinions on this Game.

Nice review Mecha. I'm very impressed. It's ok if more than one person reviews the same game, not a big deal at all. (And it's RedHotToddy not RedHotToday). Anyway, great job. Keep it up.

tgags123 : Thanks again for the compliments, I knew I would derp at something. I tend to always on usernames. I was going to post about you once and put your name as tags123 and called Barathemos Baramos. DERP!

Good review, this game is one that I initially didn't care for but as time went by I began to get a liking to it. The only thing I found frustrating was that if I wanted to save I had to start the whole 3 day cycle over again. Its not a flaw in the game, just can be irritating some times.

greenage3348 : In a way I like it like that, and the fact you lose all your items apart from key ones. You don't get that with any other game. I think it makes the time travel more realistic (though time travel is currently impossible). Thanks for the compliments, Have you got any suggestions??
