For the Zelda fans in my home. Collection in progress

if you like zelda games you will like this. ........

Never got into this game. Even when I had it on the 64.

The oddest, most subtly dark entry in the Zelda franchise gets an awesome makeover in this 3ds release. The side quests (such a prominent part of a game with only 4 main dungeons) are now more easily tracked and completed with an improved Bombers notebook that allows you to view each quest's relevant characters and see what times of which days they're generally available. I might actually be able to reunite Kaifei and Anju for once! The graphics are identical to the N64 original, with a little polish and some smoothed-over spots that improve some of the character and background textures. Fans of the series absolutely need to play this game, especially if they've aged with the series. Between lost Deku scrubs permanently transformed into trees, a central character distraught over impending doom that he himself might be responsible for, and a lonely kid whose mischief is the result of feelings of abandonment channeled through an evil artifact, this Zelda game has more dark themes threading through it than most of the other entries put together. Game players new to the series might find the in-game timer a bit annoying, but there are enough means to tweak it to your advantage to prevent from seriously ruining the experience. If you like Zelda, you need to play this game.

It was a little hard for my grandson. He wants to sell it or trade it now. :-(

I wasn't too impressed with the game. It didn't live up to the hype. It was still a decent game though.

The structure isn't for everyone, but the remaster for the 3DS is done well.

There are better games. This one is kind of odd. But any Zelda is still good.

There has been a lot of talk about The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask lately, not the least reason for which is the recent release of a remastered 3D version for the Nintendo 3DS. Honestly, there doesn’t seem that much to the new release to be, save for the graphical upgrade. I honestly doubt I will ever buy this new release, because I already own 2 other versions of this game (the original N64 gold cartridge and a bundled version with the Legend of Zelda Collector’s Edition for the GameCube), and I don’t really see a need to buy it again if there isn’t anything fundamentally new about it. At least the Ocarina of Time 3D remake had the Master Quest with it. At any rate, I would rather talk about the game itself. Majora’s Mask has been discussed thoroughly across the Internet for years. Dozens of theories about timelines, symbols, and minor details have circulated the Internet to the extent that all have been read and talked about at length. So I’m not here to talk about how each part of Termina represents one of the Five Stages of Grief, or argue whether or not Navi is dead or Link is dead or anything like that. Rather, I would like to reminisce about my memory of the game when I first played, before the hype, before the analysis of deeper meanings, before the cynicism of adult life, just the eyes of a child. I picked up the original game shortly after its October 2000 release, which would make me freshly 13 years old. I still remember buying the previous game Ocarina of Time when I was 11 and it quickly became my favorite game of all time, a recognition it still holds for me to this day. Needless to say, I had high expectations and standards for the next installment. Even then, I would say that I was not disappointed. Even before the Internet boom and the rise of forums, Tumblr, and the like, Majora’s Mask was clearly and oddity amongst the other games in the franchise, and I could tell that right away. Right off the bat, Majora’s Mask set itself apart as a much darker-toned game. While some other Zelda games start off lighter and ease into the dark stuff, Majora’s Mask threw players right in, with a shadow-filled forest, isolation, and body transformation, and quickly followed it up with an impeding apocalypse, all within the first ten minutes. This game felt like it was intended to make you feel uneasy right from the get-go. That uneasiness continued to permeate throughout. That angry-faced moon constantly staring you down, reminding you of the doom it foretells, certainly adds to the tension. Granted, it looked pretty silly on the N64, but on the 3DS, it looks downright terrifying. The tone for this game just seemed sad. Helping people with problems or in peril is par for the course in adventure and quest games, but the citizens of Termina seemed downright depressed, and it only got worse for them as the cycle ran down. The music played into it, with a lot of bass and hollow melodies. Even the iconic Main Theme that played in Termina Field sounded almost out-of-place and present only because it was considered mandatory. This is of course not to say the game is bad. Far from it. This was and is just as outstanding as any other main Zelda entry before or since. It had all of the elements to a great Zelda game. Dungeons, swordplay, archery, horseback riding, bottles, fairies, sidequests, familiar enemies, and all that other good stuff make their welcomed and expected presences here. What this game was, was different, and in good ways. Majora’s Mask knew what to change up and add to make the game memorable and distinct, and the tone was merely a single part of a larger whole. Much of this game was different from other entries. The level design for the dungeons was expansive, yet compact. It had to be, because this game only had four proper dungeons, the fewest ever in the series. The masks were central to the game, both in theme and function. They added unique abilities, and the transformation masks mixed up combat. The three-day cycle created a sense of urgency and time limitation that was largely absent before. The increase in Pieces of Heart to compensate for decrease in dungeon bosses gave way to more and creative opportunities for sidequests, which themselves were quite extensive. The schedule mechanic for NPCs added a new dimension to character interaction, and gave a greater sense of involvement and attention to detail. I really felt like I was interacting with people, and that by solving these quests, I could lift them out of their own depression. That may be a personal note, but it was one that was very important to me back then, and still is in many ways. Majora’s Mask was and still is one of the odd ducks out in the Zelda franchise. But because it was so different in so many creative and innovative ways is what sets it apart as the best of these oddballs. It certainly is a must-play for not just Zelda fans, but games in general. While the new remake may not add to much to the original aside from better visuals, the fact that it is making the game accessible to people who have not heard or talked about it before is definitely a good thing.

Really good story with fun gameplay and loads of features. 3D is awesome. C Stick on N3DS is really good as well. Really Long so bang for your buck

I’m a late bloomer and only tinkered with Legend of Zelda series beyond the Adventures of Link on NES. This edition the graphics are stunning, the 3d is clean, and the music is simply amazing! The designers at Nintendo did an amazing job updating the world of Majora’s Mask for anyone new to the series. For example while the moon was creepy looking on the 64, he looks down right psychotic on 3DS. If you have never played this game on 64 you are in for a treat!

This game is great if you played the original on the N64, and it's even better if you never played it before. For returning players it adds enhanced graphic and new controls while keeping the same story. For new players it is a great addition to your gaming catalog.

Being one of the most underplayed games from the series this game shows the darker side of Legend of Zelda. The graphics are so amazing on this remake. They added some new stuff to the game so it's not exactly all the same as the original but still just as fun.

Excellent remake of a classic game. Controls are intuitive, and 3D effect adds another layer to the gaming experience. With hundreds of side quests and collectible items, the entire story from beginning to end is a very satisfying length.

I love MM and I love the changes made to this game. Not as difficult as the N64 version because of save points. Dark and beautifully haunting story line, different from any other LoZ game. A must have game for all Zelda fans.

Majora's Mask never got the attention Ocarina of Time got, and while it isn't as good of a game story-wise, it features alot of unique gameplay not present in the other Zelda games. The three day window before the world resets puts an element of time pressure on you that is for the most part unique in the Zelda series outside of minigames and small tasks - so you can't waste your precious time and failure to do actions at the required time has consequences later that day or on following days. It also introduces a number of new side characters that appear in more modern games, like Tingle and the now ubiquitous role of the postman. Regular 3DS can play it but New 3DS models will gain the ability to rotate the camera with its right thumb stick.

Legend of Zelda : Ocarina of Time is my favorite game of all time; However, for some odd reason, Majora's Mask came out at a time where I was much more concerned with other things than playing all the latest video games. By the time I got back into gaming, I was already full-steam ahead on more recent Zelda titles like Wind Waker, along with other games. It's been a long time coming, but it's been worth it. A phenomenal game that comes close to the greatness of OoT

Having never played the original release of this game I went into it with an open mind. I love the graphics, and the controls are wonderful. Sound is great as well.

My brother and I grew up playing Zelda on the N64, and I was super stoked when I found out that Majora's Mask was being remade for the 3DS. Purchased it the week it came out, and it's great. :# They tweaked a couple of things #nothing that impacts the game, story-wise, or anything), and the graphics are a lot better than they were in the original. Definitely one of the best remakes I've purchased in a while. Even if you aren't familiar with the Zelda series, this game is loads of fun and has a really awesome, and unique, story. :) I'd recommend it to both old and incoming Zelda fans, alike.

This is a really great remake the N64 Majora's Mask game. The 3d works well though I didn't use it much. The added features and portability make this make a must for Zelda fans, and though it's not my favorite in the series it's still a really good game.
