The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

THE GOOD:
Same simple yet addicting hack n slash, user friendly gameplay from the last game which works just as well here; control scheme is also the same, which works well; mask sidequest adds a lot to replay value; clock system really keeps you on your toes, as does the dungeon puzzles and some of the bosses; graphics are astonishingly beautiful and improved over OoT's; soundtrack is catchier and better than OoT's; sound effects are still as good; NO MORE NAVI!

THE BAD:
Lack of Zelda (seen in 2 scenes tops) will annoy Zelda purists; a little on the short side; mask sidequest can get a bit on the annoying side; clock system really annoys first timers (it annoyed the hell out of me the first time playing); requires expansion pak to play, so if you don't have one, you're out of luck.

SUMMARY:
Detailed Summary:
Back in 1998, Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time was the shiznit and everyone I knew...

THE GOOD:
Innotave Gaming style
Excellent sequel
Fun side-quests and bosses
The morphing feature (masks)
The final boss
The game-play

THE BAD:
Too short
Although fun bosses, too easy
Easy dungeons
Less freedom than Ocarina Of Time

SUMMARY:
Majora's Mask opens shortly after the completion of Ocarina of Time. Link, finally back to his youthful self after defeating Ganon, decides to leave his familiar surroundings in search of adventure. While riding through the forest, his ocarina and his horse are stolen by Skull Kid. Link, of course, gives chase and eventually discovers that Skull Kid, under the influence of Majora's Mask, is planning to cause the moon to crash into the planet's surface - more specifically, the village of Clock Town. Skull Kid's plan will come to fruition in three days. So it's up to Link to use those 72 hours to stop Skull Kid's evil plan - but it'll take a...

THE GOOD:
Hmm. Lots of things good about this game. I enjoyed the fact that this game is a lot like it's prequel, Ocarina of Time. Not in story line, but in game play and items. Story: In a nutshell, Link must save the land of Termina from two things: an evil run-away mask (Majora's Mask) and a falling moon that will crush the land. This is a unique story line, not just a 'find bad guy, kill bad guy' story, but a whole new twist to it. as I mentioned above, the items are very similar to OoT, but some new ones do make an appearence. All the items have unique features that make them special, and some can only be used when Link is in a certain form (explained below). Masks: the land of Termina is full of masks. Cute masks, funny masks, ugly masks, trasnformation masks, etc. There are four main transformation masks (there is one other, but it can only be used in one place): Goron, Zora, Decu, and Feirce Diety (a giant evil form of Link). Each...

THE GOOD:
you get to be a goron.
instead of finding swords, you hire a blacksmith.
you get to keep certain things like the gilded sword.

THE BAD:
say you get a game and you're playing it and it freezes,you lose big time!
you get to find things valuable like gold dust.

SUMMARY:
First of all, I have to say that kratosroxmsocks (other review writer) was all wrong, I think it's fine that you have to play the song of time to save. I also think it's fun in a way to have to lose your dungeon progress, it ads to the adventure theme. As I said in my "the bad" section that you lose big if it freezes and you have to reset. That happened to me the other day. The only way to get the gold dust is if you finish first at the goron race in goron village. Unlike OOT you get to have the blacksmith make swords for you. One more bad thing is if you have the razor sword and you can't get the gold dust in time to make it into a...

THE GOOD:
-Great graphics
-Fun gameplay
-Three day time limit
-New masks that do different things
-Challenging
-new villain

THE BAD:
-Too short
-Needs expansion pack

SUMMARY:
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's mask, is the second Zelda game for the N64. This game continues the story from OOT, Where Link is leaving for a new adventure. Now there is a reason why this is called Majora's mask. The main villain in this game is Skull Kid, a mischievous kid who steals a mask from the mask salesman. This mask is the Majora's mask, it has mystical power. And now you must save clock town and get the mask back for the salesman. As you start the game, you will be amazed how the graphics are so good, by the N64 standards. After a while there will be a three day time limit, you can slow time down, but you have to get your ocarina back. Nintendo knows how to keep the series going with...

THE GOOD:
So many things to do. Awsome graphics.

THE BAD:
Too short. It was about a third as long as it should have been.

SUMMARY:
This game is so awsome, its hard to say in words. In Majora's Mask, you are able to transform to other creatures and races and use there abilities to beat dungens and temples. If you have played Zelda: Occarinia of Time, you should recognize most of the characters for they are back in this one and now have new roles. One way in which this game is so detailed, is the fact that it includes time. What you do to someone on day one, will effect them differently and day two and three. And even better, there are 24 masks that can be collected; each one giving you a unique ability or power.

This game deserves the best rating Neoseeker has. Its just that good.

THE GOOD:
Great graphics, just like OoT has, the game isn't very linear and straightforward, but more of a fun type game, leaving lots of room for exploration, Lots of different masks that all have different effects, fun to fight bosses and dungeons are also great and enjoyable.

THE BAD:
There is a time limit to beat the game, which most likely is the only bad thing about this.

SUMMARY:
First of all, Majora's Mask is a great game. Unfortunately, there are quite a few bad things about the game that makes it seem like you just want to throw it down and never play it again. Bear in mind you also need a N64 Expansion pack in order to play it.

Although so much like Ocarina of Time, its still quite different. The time limit is what made me go away from it in the first place, until 3 bored summers ago I attempted to try it out anyways. You can still control time in the game, so its still not 100% bad, although it...

After playing through Ocarina of Time over and over again, I just had to expect much from Majoras Mask. Ocarina of Time had everything that most other games had, plus a lot more to offer. It was the one and only game that brought me to the bigger world of gaming.

Then, with all these expectations, did Majoras Mask turn me down? The answer to that is no. Actually, at some parts, it was more or less upgraded from OoT(like the amount of secrets/side-quests and graphically it might be the best on the entire console). I still like to say that this game is slightly inferior to Ocarina of Time though. But maybe that's just because Ocarina of Time was the first game I played, that really blowed me away.

Actually I like to say that Ocarina of Time is better than everything else in the world. But is it really better than Final Fantasy X or Perfect Dark? If I do think twice about this, I wouldn't be too sure. But I can't really say which is better either. I just don't like to...

THE GOOD:

Puzzling Dungeons

The Ocarina Returns

Good Use of N64 Graphics

Non-Linear Gameplay

A variety of masks to discover that have different effects on Link

THE BAD:

Time Limit

Requires Expansion Pack to Play

Save System

SUMMARY:
Link's first appearance on the Nintendo 64 was absolutely amazing- a game worthy of five stars that left gamers craving for more. They certainly got more, but it just wasn't up to par with other Zelda games.

For starters, you won't even be able to boot up the game without forking over a little cash to buy the Nintendo 64 Expansion pack. Once you start playing, you'll experience that classic Zelda gameplay, but there are quite a few flaws.

I like to be able to do things at my own pace, but apparently the moon doesn't care about me and is heading straight for Termina. It arrives in three days, destroying everything...
