Not as great as Ocarina of Time, but still a fun game to play.

You press the start butten, start a new game. You find yourself riding on Epona (As a little bit older kid Link and little Epona) threw a forest, where you get attacked by a skull kid, he steals your horse and your ocarina, this is where your adventure begins. You go threw a maze/forest type thing where during it you get turned into a Deku scrub, after you get threw it you find yourself in an area of some sort (I dont know how to explan it) this is where you meet the happy mask salesman (Remember him?) and he explans to you how his mask was stolen and asks if you could get it back. This is where you enter the two big doors to a town called, Clock Town. You only have three days until the moon hovering over Clock Town crashes into Termina! Using your ocarina (once you get it back from the skull kid) and the masks you get during the game you get to be the hero once again and Save the land of Termina!

Overall I gave this game a 4/5 for a very good reason. This game is sort of more for the newer Zelda players because if your an old Zelda player and played OOT you'll miss some of the features in OOT (like i did). The graphics have improved a bit and old faces have returned. To me this game didnt really hit me like OOT...it's a great game but it seemed Nintendo didnt put alot of effort in it as OOT. You have to battle threw four doungons, but each having their own little story to go with it. The game is a pretty good game overall, but it just wont hit you like OOT...So i suggest get it, add it to your Zelda collection, play it and beat it, laugh as your playing it and also cry, Remember this game just like you did OOT, because soon were all going to have a new Zelda game to play which is going to make us put away our N64s and get out our Gamecubes (or Wii...if you got one) and once we beat that game, we will play it again and soon in a couple of years when your sitting in your room you'll get your n64 back out and play OOT and MM and if you think your to old for these games then get our you n64 and show these two games to your younger brother or sister or someone you know. Show them the greatest game of your generation because I bet no game in their generation is going to match these two great games. So I say again, buy it...because what is twenty bucks, twenty bucks will buy you a good game and also years and years of great memories, or if you dont feel like paying twenty bucks go to an old game discount store (if you have one where you live) or gamestop or something and look threw their used games bin, and if you see OOT or MM buy them if you dont have them, you'll regret it as a Zelda fan for the rest of your life if you dont. Buy it or dont, it's your choice and i cant make it for you.

Some pros and cons...

Pros...
- Improved Graphics and sound
- Twenty-four intresting quests for twenty-four masks
- Getting to ride Epona as a kid! HECK YES!
- New songs to learn
- Some intresting gameplay
- and years and years of great memories

Cons...
- You lose some of your stuff (rupees, arrows, deku nuts, bombs, etc) if you go back to the first day by playing the ocarina.
- some puzzles are very fustrating (Like the last room before the one where you have to step on the two switched in Sakon's hideout took me a couple tries to figure out) but dont give up!
- Only four temples... :(
- The first days in Clock town as a Deku Scrub is boring.

O and dont think this game is just for guys...cause it isnt..im a girl and i like the Zelda series... ;) And girls dont say the Zelda games are gay just because they have sword fighting in it, I like shopping and makeup and stuff like that but I also like video games, so if you a girl play it...give it a chance...

(and dont mind my horrible spelling)

Good sequel..but

yes...that dreadful word, BUT...there are some flaws...which I think effect the game greatly. Don't get me wrong..it's a great story and concept, but the lack of new faces really takes away from this game. First off, there is a lot of recycling going on here. Lots of the characters in this game are exactly the same copies of the first Zelda: Ocarina of Time. For example, Malon from the first game is very much like Romani from MM, on so on (like Anju and the chicken lady. This makes the game to me, somewhat boring..but what I did like was the use of masks to make you into different races like the Goron or a Zora. That concept was great as is the story...what makes it a bit more interesting is the time limit and limits on where and what you can save...pretty challenging which is something I also liked...but I digress. The characters were just too much like the first Zelda, which really was big disappointment to me...I wish they had used different faces, it would have made a big difference...oh well. 3 1/2 stars. Still a good game if you are a Zelda fan.

No Ocarina of Time, but still very original

Although this game is not the super classic that the Ocarina of Time is, it is still a great game with the great puzzles, weapons, minigames, and awesome fighting that we have come to expect from the series plus some very original gameplay as far as the masks go especially. If you're a zelda fan it is a must play game.

Its The Legend of Zelda....hell yes it's good!

Any game with the title "The legend of Zelda" is going to be great....The real reason Im writing this is because I noticed a mistake in the product description. It says that the game was avaliable in the gold cartridge with the hologram label to gamers who pre-orderd it. and that is not true. I bought the game brand-new in Rockdale Texas in Walmart with no preorder for it.

Traveling in Termina

Having owned the game for years upon years, I still have yet to get EVERY secret in the game. But, this is a review so Ill stay away from that.

Anyway, it's a true sequal to Ocarina of Time, even though it's different from any other Zelda in existance. The dark feeling of the moon above your head, going through time to save lives or help them, and the ability to transform Link into four creatures, making gameplay extremely different with each transformation.

Not only the game itself, the music is superb, with songs like "The Astral Observatory" that I listen to often. You'll see background characters from Ocarina of Time play different roles in this game (Termina counterparts), like the beloved Kafei and Anju. Buy the game, you'll enjoy, if anybody says otherwise, they obviously didn't play the game in it's N64 hype.

To amazon

Majora's Mask takes players on a tilted Zelda-esque quest into a parallel world called Termina, where a young, untested Link must undo the havoc caused by an curious and vengeful imp. The catch is Link has only three days to travel to four vast lands, and so he must call on the time-bending powers of the Ocarina to move back and forth in this short period before the Carnival of Time begins.

The game plays a lot like the Ocarina of Time, but has less of that traditional Zelda feel. Link spends more time on troublesome sidequests (often with insufficient payout), and because one loses most expendable possessions each time you return to the first day, players may be annoyed and frustrated. It's also a little weak in the plot department, and some of the tasks and goals feel disconnected from the larger storyline.

But the emphasis of masks, especially transformative masks, is intriguing, challenging, and entertaining, and the generally darker feel of the game with it's many puzzles and curious dungeons provides a strong player experience. The improved graphics and consistent gameplay also help make Majora's Mask a game worth investing in, even if it isn't the traditional Zelda/Link outing.
