Every time I play Majora's Mask, whenever it finally comes time to fight Majora, I like to reset the day and do what I like to call "The Perfect Run". It involves helping literally everyone that wouldn't get help otherwise. Save the injured guard and kimori, defeat every boss, save every fairy, do the lovers sidequest, save all the zora eggs, tell all of the stalfos in the graveyard each night to destroy the grave so they can rest in peace, save the guy in the swamp house from his curse, save the goron who gives you the don gero mask, save the deku princess, make the sharp brothers and the king ikana rest, save romani's cows (and her), and help cremia get to the milk bar safe. Its alot of work and time managment, but its just barely possible.

Yes, the fight with Majora is a joke when using the fierce deity mask, but think about it thematically: it isn’t just Link fighting Majora in this instance - it’s all of Termina. Everyone you helped, all the masks you collected, their happiness is what earns you the power to defeat Majora. And yes, you can defeat the final boss without the fierce deity, but it is so much harder, because you haven’t yet been an hero to these people. The fierce deity mask is a symbol of true heroism and altruism - its only by taking interest into these people’s everyday lives that allows you to fight their oppressor. You are their hope and you fight on their behalf, but they are the ones who enable your victory. The game designers didn’t have to say it explicitly - the game shows you when you get the final mask that you are a hero, but only if you chose to be one.

So, I just finished playing through this game again and my 5 year old niece watched me play quite a bit of it. Some of her interesting reactions: -After I described what the moon was doing and how it was going to fall in 3 days, she kept begging me to let it fall all the way. I had to tell her "no, you really do not want to see that" -When Majora said "let's play good guys and bad guys. You'll be the bad guy" she said to me "Wait, are you the bad guy now?" -I think the ending fight with majora scared her the most. She didn't run away or ask me to stop or anything, but she also wasn't saying anything and just intently watching it. -When "Dawn of a New Day" appeared, even though she can't quite read yet, she still reacted to it as if she knew what it meant even before I read it to her. -She thought the ending was sad because Link had to leave everyone. Which, I guess it was a little sad that way.

I feel like the Fierce Deity mask doesn't get the narrative credit it is due. It should be noted, you can ONLY get it if you have every single possible mask in game, and trade every single one off. To this end, it is a culmination and manifestation of every single mask. If the regular masks are the happiness, individuality, and lives of the people of termina made manifest, the Fierce Deity mask is a manifestation of their grief and anger (no accident that it's handed to you by the child wearing Mahora's mask.) To this end, it is extremely satisfying to then wear the mask and shred Majora because for that time, the will of Termina's people, all the people you helped gives you power, power far greater than Majora. This to me always was the final nail for MM's most prominant theme: That the small kindnesses, good deeds, and individual lives of people are the greatest and most important things in life.

This right here is a Gandalf moment and it’s not even related to Tolkien in any way.

I think that Majora's Mask is very much the "Toy Story 2" of the LoZ series; A direct sequel initially conceived primarily as a profit-motivated cash-grab, which was thankfully saved by a genuinely passionate and creative development team, who, despite a severe budget and time limitation, were able to pull off an eleventh-hour miracle and turn out an actually impressive piece of work. And while it is true that some of the finer details are lost on some, it is undeniable, in retrospect, that there is a great deal of artistic and emotional depth to this particular sequel that is occasionally missed by more cynical reviewers, especially amongst the ostensibly similar instalments that came both before and after.

One thing I noticed about Majoras Mask is with the Deku Mask. When you use the Goron Mask, people think you are Darmani. Same goes for the Zora Mask since people think you are Mikau. However, despite the Deku Mask coming from the deku butlers son, he never says you are his son. He just says you look like his son. Later on in the game, we see him crying because of his sons corpse. He already knew his son died. That's kinda sad.

41:20 I can’t believe I never realized Micao was a father trying to rescue his kidnapped children only to die to the kidnappers, his death hits so much more now

one of the things that stuck with me the most was the truth being revealed by the Goron mask, the masks that transform you give you the appearance of someone who's soul seemingly resides in the mask. you meet the Goron people and the Zoras bandmates but end up knowing very little about the Deku. two mask souls remembered fondly by the people they cared about, the other almost completely forgotten. crazy themes for a game like this

I get emotional every time I think about this game. I grew up gay in an extremely small town (you can imagine how that was like) and the Zelda franchise was the biggest escape I had. I was always somewhat uncomfortable playing Majora’s Mask as a kid, but that’s what drew me to it. I knew there were things about this game that as a child I wasn’t meant to entirely understand just yet. Revisiting as a young adult, the symbolism of the game and the meanings of it hit me full force. I cried quite a bit replaying it. During college I was dealing with a lot of shame I had become conditioned to feel because of my sexual orientation, and I turned to heavy drinking to suppress it and other mental illnesses I was dealing with. It truly was this game that pulled me out of that and taught me the importance of healing. I made a lot of life changes following my revisiting of this game and I’m in a much happier place and I’m proud of my true self. I have the Song of Healing tattooed on me to always remind me that healing is a process and even if I almost “met with a terrible fate” I made it through and I’m stronger because of it 💙 I’m forever thankful for this game and franchise and they’ll always have my support.

Interestingly is that there's actually more to it than that. They ask if you want "to be a salesman too" when they ask you to part with some of your masks, so it's likely implied that they are indeed connected. The game really puts a big emphasis on the mystery factor of HMS so I wouldn't really rule things out as simply coincidence. Despite the limited development time they had, they did have a story they wanted to tell and it's up to interpretation, but they did drop some pretty strong hints that HMS is likely a spirit and Majora's Mask is deeply intertwined with his history and/or destiny.

I think the saddest part of this game is when you've helped Romani and Cremia and return on the final day. Cremia goes on about that it's weird how Romani finally lets her drink the Romani milk, as she doesn't ever let her drink it, just so Cremia doesn't feel the end of the world as much.

I honestly always found Majora to be a much more terrifying villain than Ganon. Yes, Ganon had presence but with Majora you never knew why it wanted to destroy the world other than it just wanted to for shits-and-giggles. And when you finally face off against it you realize just how bizarre, disturbing and batshit insane this entity truly was. It was a being akin to a child who viewed the world as nothing more than its plaything and everything thing it did and wanted to do as just a game. Even your final fight with it was nothing more than a game of "Good Guys vs. Bad Guys" where you were the Bad Guy in its Eyes. And as you kept harming it more and more, the more crazy Majora became as it lashed out in a fit of rage akin to a bratty child throwing a temper tantrum when things don't go their way.

It's not even just that the story is dark, the character writing in this game really stands out against the writing of every other game in the series. And I'm saying this as someone who never even got out of the starting town as a kid, and only really got into it as an adult. No nostalgia goggles here.

I dont have nostalgia either,played it recently. My love and passion is similar to uhhhh...his name is pretty hard to pronounce...to this fellow. He really did articulate well his passion,but just like him,it doesnt do justice to the absolute genious and perfection of this piece of art. In fact,it feels like this. Majora's world is so complex,that it feels as if you were throwned into a book,and were forced to save the world inside it. These are some of the most realistic npc's i have ever seen in my life,the sheer emotion,wackyness,sadness,despair,grief they evoke in dialogue demostrate perfectly the spirit and basic concept of the human being. I just hope this game would be more popular,like oot...

I always found it heart breaking whenever the loved ones of whoever’s mask your wearing caught on to the fact that your not actually them like how the Goron kid starts to cry when you lose the race because Darmani never lost or when before you enter the great bay temple if you take of your mask and talk to lulu she’ll freak out and ask where Mikau went

This is virtually everything that makes Majora's Mask my favorite Anything Ever, too. Agreed. EXCEPT I gotta disagree that restarting the 3 days creates a new timeline. For example, certain events do not reoccur after you complete them the first time. The Great Fairy in Clock Town knows you. Ghost Darmani does not appear again. Mikau's grave marker is already there in a new set of 3 days. Not coincidentally, what you receive from these events stays with you when you reset the 3 days. (And this might not be strictly canon, but in the remake the temple bosses ask to fight you again, suggesting they remember fighting you previously.) (If I'm remembering wrong, please let me know!) AND MOST IMPORTANTLY - even if you don't complete their specific sidequest in your last 3-day cycle, the people you helped in previous cycles are still shown as if you helped them in the end credits. Like. I know I certainly didn't have the time to fix all 5 Great Fairies AGAIN in the 3 day cycle before beating Majora & beating the game, but there they are in the ending credits. So I don't think you've created separate timelines. Rather, I think the Dawn Of a New Day slams together every 3-day cycle you've done so far. You asked the Goddess of Time to help you out, and I assume at the end, she's the one that slams it all together so that everyone remembers the times when they were helped. So Goddess of Time, thanks, girl.

For anybody who’s curious, Theophany has some FANTASTIC covers/remixes of the Majora’s Mask soundtrack that really capture the essence of the story.

Those last six hours before the moon falls is one of my favorite segments in any game. I don't know why but something about the song and the NPCs various ways of dealing with impending doom just... speaks to me on some deep level I can't quite figure out. It ever so slightly beats out the month in Persona 4 where the fog leaks into Inaba and everybody gets progressively more paranoid while that weird, staticy, ambient music is constantly playing.

This is the first game that made me cry as a kid. The first time I actually felt sad for characters in a video game, for Romani and Cremia in the final day if you don't help with the alien invasion. Just seeing Romani struggling with a broken mind and Cremia crushing under the stress of a ruined business, a suffering sister, and the literal end of the world on top of that. It's such a bleak situation.

Ah, Majora’s Mask. My absolute favourite thing about high school. I was completely obsessed with this game- I’d play it for hours, I was invested in all the characters (particularly the Skull Kid) and would talk nonstop about the game. I made fan art and fan theories, and spent hours trying to learn what I could about the lore and imagining things the game didn’t provide the answers to (for example, coming up with a non-canon backstory for the Fierce Deity and Majora). It’s crazy to see someone else share such a passion for my old obsession. Thank you; it brings back memories. Edit: Oh, and I almost forgot- has anyone else been following the Majora's Mask opera M.

I’ve been following the opera since the 8th grade. I’m in college now. I’m still excited. Majora’s Mask is just that kind of game.

I really love the message of this game that in the face of impending doom, the small kindnesses we can show one another aren't irrelevant; they are most important in those last moments. In OoT, the sidequests can seem like trivial (and welcome) distractions in the face of the sweeping epic quest before us. In Majora's mask I was at first frustrated by how my progress on the main quest seemed to be locked behind this huge wall of trivial sidequests. But then I realised what the game was saying to me: "the mundane trivialities of these people's lives aren't distractions, they're the whole point. Their lives have value and they're what you're here to save." Once you embrace that personal perspective and really get to know the people of Termina, you aren't trying to be a big hero to save the whole world, you're doing something much more meaningful which is to save people you care about and show kindness to those who need it. Majora's Mask is dark, but its message is about the value of kindness and love and hope in the face of grief and depair. It's an important message and one that feel particularly poignant in current times.

@NitroNinja324

In a way, I say it encourages you, or more specifically Link, to grow into a better hero. Sure he was brave enough to fight Gannon and he was strong enough to win, but not for a moment do you feel compelled to save the world because you care about it. It's simply your "destiny" as the Hero of Time. The only time I felt like going out of my way to help someone in OoT was with Malon and Epona. In MM, you're not a hero because you were chosen by destiny. You're a hero because you help people, and eventually, save them.

"the mundane trivialities of these people's lives aren't distractions, they're the whole point. Their lives have value and they're what you're here to save." 👈THIS RIGHT HERE The contrast between being The Big Hero vs. The Guy Trying To Help Out is so defined going from OOT to MM, and it's one of my favorite parts of the whole experience. Philosophically speaking, I want to dig into that theme of kindness just a bit more. I want to draw the distinction between "we are here to be nice to each other" (we're not) and "we are here to be kind to each other". Anju's mom is nice, until she feels like she doesn't have to be, because how dare Kafei act that way. The player is encouraged to be kind to Gorman the Troupe Leader, despite his nasty behavior, and in return he apologizes and reconnects with his own feelings & the people around him. That's kindness. That's love. That's hope. You can't stop people from being mean (see: his brothers), but you can still help out, and you can still be kind, and move on from there.

The saddest part of Majora’s Mask, to me, is that it is impossible to save everyone. Yes, you can slow down time and do as much as you can. But no matter how good a player you are, there is no feesable way to effectively complete every quest. No matter what you do, Romani will still be shattered from her cows being abducted, Anju and Kaife are still separated even though they love each other more then anything, the Gorons are still freezing to death in the cold. No matter what you do, there will still be those you failed to save.

Majora’s Mask is a reminder of how precious our lives are, and how much our presence, even by a little, can actually determine a change for the better to other people’s lives, especially when those lives already have given up their strength to move forward. Even in the most darkest of days, even if it looks like everything is done for, we must keep believing in our strength. You can make someone happy with your presence.

But by resetting you undo the fact that you helped them, and you cannot afford to help them again, you gotta go to the gorons or smth and go and save them now cause they have something you need. Every time you help someone, someone else is in trouble. And in the end of the day you may have saved the world but there are so many people you didn't save and you KNOW you didn't save them cause you saved them one before undoing everything. You KNOW the deku's water is being poisoned, you KNOW the gorons are being frozen you KNOW all of this, there is litterally no way you can save everyone there is only so much one kid can do.

But majora for me feels like the most human world from the vast sea of games. Remember that trailer for anthem that made it seem like the markets and towns are connected? Majora did that better and wayyyyyyy before,im honestly amazed at just the sheer genious of the game. In fact,majora's main quest isnt majora,that is just a cover,a "mask" if you will. The real majora are the sidequest,and this video does an amazing job explaining why.

AVGN didn't like it because of the controls and bad camera which is fine if he didn't praise Ocarina of Time at the same time which has the same amount of problems as Majora's Mask and more since Majora's Mask is a better refined and smoothed out OOT.

Ocarina of Time is probably “better” as a video game, but Majora’s Mask is by far better as an artistic piece. The Song of Healing alone is just a beautiful musical masterpiece that sounds both hopeful and somber at the same time. Every little thing about it fits the theme and adds to the narrative. The side quests all have characters that feel real. It’s insane that the game was made in one year.

I would disagree about Ocarina being a better game. After playing both back to back on N64, I can easily say that the gameplay of Majora's Mask is far more engaging and challenging. Take Ganondorf/Ganon. They are definitely menacing bosses, but they aren't hard to beat. They don't really test the player's skills at all, simply requiring them to use a pattern until it's all over. The first boss of Majora's Mask, Odolwa, is a far better fight. He's less predictable, has tons of moves, will wipe the floor with you if you dont stay on your toes, but is still a fair challenge that can be overcome by the player without too much trouble. That's just one example, but seeing as I fought Odolwa after Ganon in my back-to-back runs, it really feels like the game stopped messing around and gave players a more difficult game to go with the rich artistic vision that Majora has. In pretty much every way I can think of, Majora's Mask is the superior game. This, of course, is only my opinion. Maybe I'll like Master Quest better, but that remains to be seen.

Upon playing a bit of Master Quest, I have made it past Dodongo's Cavern. I would have progressed further, but at the start of my playthrough, I noticed that The Great Deku Tree had some rocks I needed to blow up. I found out the hard way that bombs wouldn't make it up there, so I went all the way back to castle town to win the Bombchu minigame. With bombchus in hand, I headed back to the Deku Tree and finally blew up those boulders. On the other side was a gold skulltula that I had no way of reaching. Keep in mind that I had no way of knowing this prior, as it was hidden behind the rocks. The combat really isn't any harder, and my idea of difficulty isn't requiring the player to constantly revisit dungeons for gold skulltula tokens. That's just tedium. The bosses I fought were no harder, and my strategies were no different. I'll continue playing, but I dont have high hopes that Master Quest will give me the challenge that the original lacked.

@@saricubra2867 Everyone has an opinion. I'm glad you see something I don't in Twilight Princess.

I love how each part of the world represents one of the stages of grief.

Hey something cool that I like is how even the main quests are like side quests, like they're designed like one. It's like you don't know which quest is required or not, which somehow ironically even more engaging and immersive.

I remember finding the swordsman cowering in his dojo just before the moon hits. I was running around seeing what the people in town felt. But the swordsman shaking and hiding in fear, with that music in the background. I busted out the Ocarina and reset the clock out of some weird sense of mercy. Like I couldn't put them through that fate. I had forgotten that it was a video game for a moment.

Also, something I noticed you didn't really touch on was the music. The MUSIC. The music is so amazing for this game. Koji Kondo usually makes really great soundtracks but I feel this is his magnum opus. Such a feeling of emptiness and melancholy but also really upbeat at certain times to hide the darkness of Termina. Every song feels like a masterpiece in it's own right, especially the Song of Healing (god i love that song to death). But other than that, great video!

One thing I absolutely love about Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time is that the music isn't merely in the background. You as the player actively engage in the music by learning to play the notes to some of the songs in the game. In Ocarina of Time, you don't only hear Zelda's Lullaby whenever Zelda is onscreen. You play it yourself in order to open up areas that would be otherwise impossible to enter. In Majora's Mask, you don't merely hear the Song of Healing whenever you encounter a tragic cutscene. You play the Song of Healing yourself to heal broken souls. Having music being a part of the gameplay instead of simply in the background adds to the memorability of an already fantastic soundtrack. I know other Zelda games have this to some extent (i.e. howling in Twilight Princess, or the Wind Waker in the Wind Waker), but I'd argue that the N64 games implemented this concept the best simply because you can play more than just the notes you are required to play for the songs you learn in the game. If you've ever seen PuppetMaster9's ocarina compilations where he plays songs from various other medias on the in-game ocarina in Majora's Mask 3D, you'll know what I'm talking about. I remember spending probably hours trying to learn to play songs from other video games as well on the in-game instruments. It's a small addition, but it is something that I very much appreciate.

37:10 Fun Fact: If you have the 3DS Majora's Mask Version, you can hear the mask sound when you are about to select the game on the Nintendo 3DS Menu screen

You know, bizarrely in a way this’s similar to Toy Story 2, a followup to one of the most highly regarded products of all time had to be made in a year or less and miraculously came out as one of the best sequels from their separate mediums

Funny, I feel people bring up gorons a lot when revisiting Majora's Mask, but personally I found the mountain to be interesting, but not as rich or scary as the other areas at all. I genuinely forget the name of Darmani quite a lot, and this isn't because the goron section is dull, it's because the other sections are so much deeper in themes. Another thing... the scene with the little girl in Ikana valley seemed kind of mediocre and uninteresting to me, I remember Ikana mostly for it's dungeons. Romani being kidnapped/given a drink, the monkey being tortured, Mikau's tragic death and the Deku Butler's son always stood out to me more, probably because I care about the non-human characters and established human characters more than randomly thrown in children.

I love this game as well, I appreciate all of it's intricacies and stories. The amazing gameplay and different story it decides to tell. But I feel Schafrillas doesn't give enough credit to the Southern Swamp and why Link is going to find Navi. Navi was Link's fairy, the thing all of the other Kokiri child had, he had finally gotten! He had finally had their respect, admiration, except for Mido of course but eh. They all seemed proud, especially Saria. Navi as well, was Link's friend till the end of OoT, so, if Link truly is looking for Navi, it makes sense. Navi was the only reason Link went on that great adventure, and the only reason why he was able to save the world. Now Schaf might've just been joking but even still, it's not something to just be looked over just because "HURR DURR NAVI ANNOYING". Anyway back to the Southern Swamp, and the story it tells, and why it deserves respect like all the other areas. You go into it after becoming a human, trying to find the thing that will save this place, and you realize in this once beautiful swamp, everything has been shrouded by poisons and cruel monsters. You go and you save one of the sorceress sisters which gives you the chance to then ride the boat and get to the Deku Palace. A wonderful, huge place full of lively music and people, who used to be your enemies, the Deku. But in your form you are able to go in and see what's happened. The people are scared, are worried, not only because of the danger to the swamp, but the danger to the princess. While obviously the swamp is easier and more childish than the other areas that doesn't make the story of saving the swamp from destruction due to polluted and poisoned waters, and saving the princess any less powerful even if it is a more simple story. It gives a bigger look into the dark aspects, people are dying and losing jobs and homes to these polluted waters and creatures. And due to the panic, the monkeys try to help, but oh no! Their friend the princess has been taken by a strange monster into a temple only other Deku can get into. So they go to the panicked king, worried over his daughter, in his worriedness and rage he sentences a monkey to be tortured, all because of his love for his daughter, and he sentences you to never return due to your interest and perceived collaboration with the monkey. You realize now to save more lives, you must save the princess of this land, and so you do. I think the Woodfall Temple, though simple still is very interesting and quite fun to play through. Finally once you beat the temple, you take the princess back to the palace, where everyone is overjoyed and ecstatic and congratulates you, you saved a people from the horrible poisoned waters from Woodfall Temple. The princess also saves her monkey friend due to your help, and you get to meet the butler, and find his story, which Schaf talks about in the video, so I feel no need to talk about it here.

Navi isn’t even that bad.

Majora's Mask is my favourite game as well even though I DON'T like to manage time. But it's so effective for the story it tells and directly affects YOU, the player, instead of simply telling you that things are urgent. YOU know it. You FEEL it. It's constantly there, in your mind - and in the sky above (or below, holy shit!). And everything you do in the game is undone until YOU can successfully traverse time and space to put an end to the cycle. All the hardships you've overcome and the people you've helped (the dark tone really bring home the suffering of the inhabitants of Termina) was for nothing if you don't bring the quest to an end. The time loop is both a catalyst for action AND a reassuring mechanic that tells you you can try things as many time as you need to. Day 3 is just as exhilarating as Day 1 feels safe and cozy. Playing the song of time after a long stretch of challenges couldn't be more satisfying. OOT is an epic tale. But MM speaks to you personally. It's nothing short of brilliant, really.

You've enhanced MM for me tenfold with the idea of the deku king having king Julian's voice

Major Mask is my second favorite. How much the story hit me. The Moon children were asking real question that were very deep. I love how you can see Link grow more in his character through major Mask after seeing these tragic events.

If Majora's Mask didn't exist, there'd be no Astral Observatory song, and that thought makes me depressed Edit: 51:04 I know you played Persona 5 Royal, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID THERE Another edit: The Fierce Deity mask is the coolest part of all Zelda lore imo. Adding onto what was said about the game not explaining things and leaving the mystery, the mask is one of the biggest. It holds the power of a dark god equal to Majora. You give that to a kid, who had to face the horrors and trials of OoT and MM and become a hero, and you have an unstoppable warrior. You know I bought the chips off eBay that let you get the armor in BotW so I could play that game exclusivity as the Fierce Deity.

Thank goodness not every studio is Team Ico. (I love Shadow of the Colossus but. y'know.) But seriously, it goes to show how a short deadline can prevent the final product from being too overpolished to the point of rounding off any interesting peculiarities. And Majora's Mask is certainly a game with a lot of peculiarities. It asked "what if a game did this crazy stuff" and then it did it. I shudder to think how much of it would be removed or revamped to be unrecognizable, in the name of "improving it" to "increase sales" in a longer development cycle.
