Yes this game is very challenging, and yes it's different than Ocarina of Time,but different is good! Sometimes you probably will just break down,scream and turn it off...(manual suggested)...but as soon as you figure it out you feel good about yourself,I did. it's great fun and worth the money...even though the three day thing is really freakin annoying!

Great game

I would give this game 3 and a half stars, but I don't know how to give half points yet...

First, I was disappointed by the graphics...they weren't as good as I expected. I mean, I went out hunting for an expansion pack just so I could play this game, and what did I find? Practically no obvious difference from the graphics of "Ocarina". And when I first started the game and that horrid, boring music came on, I just knew I was in trouble.

However, when I started my game, I was entranced. The beginning movie was cool (though the fairies were a bit annoying). And the immediate chase afterwards demonstrated a few of Link's new moves--he was doing somersaults!

The gameplay is excellent, and the puzzles are a LOT harder than "Ocarina"...which, I'm afraid to admit, is why I eventually had to stop playing. I finally gave up. My brother beat the game, so I know it's not impossible, but from my own experience, I'd say that it requires a lot of patience.

I was really fond of the Zelda themesong being played in Termina field ("Ocarina" didn't have the theme), but most of the game's music was kind of dull. The plot was also really thin, but Nintendo seems to have done that intentionally, so I guess it's not really much of a problem.

Overall, if you're a Zelda fan, it's definitely worth playing. I, myself, am looking forward to see what Nintendo comes up with for Zelda using the Gamecube.

I once had a love, it was the legend of zelda series

I bought this game because the Ocarina of Time was cool, and I thought to myself,"How could this game POSSIBLY be bad?"
I normally cheat on games. I cheated on Ocarina of Time, and it still took months to beat, and I still have a little to get.
Well, after a week of owning Majora's Mask, I defeated a boss(little did I know it was the final boss). I couldn't wait to play some more, but then, after a few minutes, it hit me. I had completely beaten it in a WEEK!!!!
A little fact that really bothers me is, the reason the whole conflict starts in this game is that Link was in the forest looking for his fairy. After being transported to the place where all of the gameplay takes place, he returns, DOESN'T FIND HIS FAIRY, and all he does get for all his hard work is a stupid carving on a stump. The fact that he doesn't find his fairy ruined the whole game for me. The only thing he really wants, he doesn't get. That alone is enough to get me to use this as a hockey puck.
Another thing is that this game is called The Legend of ZELDA!!!! Yet Zelda's only role in the game is of a 30 second memory of Link's that didn't even happen. This game should have been left out of the zelda series. It's a dissapointment to have bought this game. I recommend that if you rent it, just keep renting it until you beat it.
BUT DO NOT BUY THIS GAME ON THE FACT THAT ITS PREQUEL WAS GOOD!!!!

An extreem dissapoint ment!

This game was very very ... short! Their were only 4 different temples as apposed to the origanl 8. In fact I rented this game and beat it within 2 days. It was very obvious on how to defeat the bosses and levels. And When ever you have to teleport to the first of the three days you loose all of your items.

Majora Rocks

Well, I have to say, this game does NOT live up to its predecessor (but, hey, what does?). It seemed like the makers of OOT wanted another chance to cash in on it. So, they reused all the graphics and game mechanics, added more flashy animation effects, reused half the songs, and then just threw everything else together.

The Ocarina of Time songs were all SO good. When I would warp, I would wait until the last bit of the song was dying away to press Yes, I want to warp, just so that I could hear the rest of the song. There were time when I would just get out my ocarina and play a song for no other reason than to hear it. Majora's mask is a whole 'nother story. The songs that aren't reused are just annoying, so far. I press A as fast as is humanly possible when I'm soaring, just in case I might be able to skip the thing. It seems like they just figured out a few combos that they hadn't already used and stuck them in, no matter what they sounded like. And also, you don't EVER get to hear the warp songs in their entirety besides the time you learn them. There's no area to go to to hear the whole song. I would go to the Lost Woods JUST to listen to Saria's Song all the way through; I'd do laps around Lon-Lon Ranch JUST to hear Epona's Song in all its glory--despite unforgiving N64 synthesizers. Majora's Mask is, again, not up to par. The one fun thing I've found to do in the whole game is to go onto the stage in the Milk Bar and do all the parts to Ballad of the Windfish. Keep in mind, I haven't finished it yet, but even so...

All right, we've got my music rant over with, now I go on to story.

I HATE this system. WHENEVER you do a quest and you think, hey, this game might be fun after all, you have to go back in time and you feel really pointless and discouraged--why?--because the thing you JUST did is no longer done. Even though you keep your important items, the snow is still thick on the mountain, the swamp is as poisonous as ever, and the Indigo-gos have no intention of putting on theit concert. It's just FRUSTRATING! If you really wanted to help these people, you'd have to do ALL the dungeons, ALL the sidequests in these THREE MEASLY DAYS. I don't know about you, but I just feel like a louse! These people have problems, and you fix them once but then they have them again. You should do a thing once, go back in time, and see yourself rushing off to do it again. Eventually, there'd be hundreds of Links, going around and doing good. That's way better than the system they have going.

Well, that's pretty much my rant for the day. The graphics are okay--no worse than the last game's. The dungeons are--mildly interesting.

My main problem with this game is that it's a cheapquel. They rehash everything so badly that the new things (the masks and so forth) all lose their luster.

Only Nintendo could have achieved this.

The game is great, even though people complain about the time limit, it only ads to the game's challenge, and I can't believe people complain it is frustrating, every game you can't beat on the first try is, and about having to do something all over again, it is not something new in videogames. The variety of mask is awesome, and unlike in Ocarina of Time, the mask are actually usefull. Remember the bunny ears? well, that is the mask I use most, since it makes Link run faster. The mask of truth is back, and many new ones make their debut. The deku, zora and goron transformations add to the game's variety. The visuals are the best on the N64, the framerate is also great even when many enemies are on the screen at the same time. The Zelda theme is also back, you can hear it and remember the old days. Overall, the game is great, a must buy. Get it and avoid at all cost strategy giudes, as the game will loose the great excitement of discovery. In this game, you will find just about everything, gohsts, cows, dogs, a crying goron baby, a kidnapped princess, monkeys, kotake and koume, chicken, some 35 year old weirdo who thinks he is a forest fairy, and many other things. So, why are you reading this?? Go get this game as soon as you can.

Zelda sequel good as first one

The Legend of Zelda:Majoras's Mask is a beautifully designed RPG with great graphics and exellent game play, in which you must prevent the moon from crashing into the Earth in three days (72 minutes real time.) However, you have the aid of the Ocarina of Time, a mystical instrument on which you play many songs, including the time-altering Song of Time. This game follows in the footsteps of one of the best RPG's of all time, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It is different because you must play many things over and over to trigger certain events.You also must collect many masks. Some of these masks are only good to get a heart piece or another mask, but others allow you to transform into different creatures such as a plant like Deku scrub, a large bomb weilding Goron, and a sleek water creture, the Zora. The game has four basic temples which you must conquer, a horse to get back, a story to settle with a Skull kid(who stole Majora's Mask) and even a romance to fix. All in all, this is a great game which should be played by all gamers.

Capable of SO much more

First of all, you need to know that I LOVE Zelda games. Any Zelda game that comes out I will almost imediately accept. But Majora's Mask had so much irratating spots in it that should not have been introduced.
The first is the moon. Even with the "inverted song of time" that doubles the time you have, the moon is this plain annoying turd in the sky. And did I mention that it's face is WAY overdone?
A thing that bugged me was that there are SO many overdone parts. Even putting on the masks pulls up an annoyingly overdramatic cutscene. I was very disappointed that such a legendary video game producer as Shigeru Myamoto (sorry, I think I spelled his name wrong!) would try to introduce overdone parts so much. It was as if he was trying to make it better than Ocarina of Time.
And it seemed as if it wasn't as imaginative name-and-song wise. The names of the different characters weren't as well thought through, and the music wasn't NEAR as good. In fact, the songs you play on the Ocarina are basically randomly chosen notes that make it's songs STINK!
Another downfall was, unfortunately, the expansion pak. Now that they could work with so much more memory, the team used it up making kinda uselessly long side quests. They made so many sidequests that it distracted from the real storyline! What they should have done was use it to make it darker than "Ocarina", and give it a different feel. They didn't, and this makes for a much less immersive game.
The last was the fun factor. The dungeons were just irratating, and the wonderful dungeons in "Ocarina" dwarfed those of "Majora's mask." because, again, "Majora" used the expansion pack to make big dungeons. But even though they made them big, "Ocarina" had MUCH tougher, more challenging dungeons that ultimately took a longer time to complete. The only thing that held me to playing the game was that it was a Zelda game, which meant it benefitted from Z-targeting, just playing as Link, and it being a good RPG.
So all in all, if they made it with a totaly diferent idea than the timed one, they should have made the skull kid mess up the world of Termina rather than make a moon fall. He should have used his power to rule (Like Ganondorf) rather to destroy what he could rule. That sounds much more realistic than the "Majora" storyline.
