4 color rebellion takes a look at Majora's Mask, What Majora's Mask meant to Nintendo

If you guys haven't read this yet, do so now. There's a lot to to be had and learn from this. Majora's Mask was more then just a sequel, this is probably why Zelda hasn't been as ground breaking or enjoyable as it used to be. In fact, this whole article also reflects on Nintendo as a whole.

awww i thought this was another music blog dissecting the music of Majora's Mask this time

WELL YOU THOUGHT WRONG

read anyway

That was definitely an interesting read, and it does make sense.


now i'm going to be whine at my parents for emotionally damaging me by making me play such a mature game as Majora's Mask

I ****ing want to play Majora's Mask. I only played the littlest bit I could and I wanted to FINISH IT ALL.

shameless bump

MM is my favorite Zelda, so this is cool to read.

I agree completely with this.

There was no perfectly comfortable time in Majora's Mask until you beat it, and quite honestly I loved it.

I wish he would've mentioned the soundtrack though. Along with the colors and twisted world, the music really helps set the mood, especially with the Song of Healing.

Damn I love that game ;_;

tl;dr Majora's Mask is different and that is awesome.

The Mature-rating games idea, however, I agree with fully.

I agree with the feeling of not being satisfied with a Nintendo game in a long time. Wind Waker, Mario Sunshine, Mario Galaxy, and Twilight Princess all left me bored. I didn't even finish the latter two. Mario 64 and Ocarina/Majora's Mask still hold up, however.

This is why I love Majora's Mask so much. In the end, you are so desperate to stop Majora's Mask to stop the Moon, that you transform yourself into a Demon(Oni Link) in order to destroy Majora's Mask once and for all.

Enjoyable read... Majora's Mask is my favorite Zelda game. I've actually tried explaining this to my friend, but he favors Ocarina rehashes like Twilight to the "different" Majora's Mask. Each to his own, I suppose.

when readding it, it seemed he jumped from liking MM to not so much liking it.
and I agree with Glukom the music really did set the mood.
I dont think the game was twisted but more, it had a story to it that touched you, not like that! But as in yes it moved you and made you feel hopless but not so much that it was twisted, what makes a great game is things like that, that have you *coughcryingcough* durring a moment in the game.

I loved MM color palette. it set such a sinister tone with such vibrant colors -- the final battle is amazing because of this.

I totally agree with the article. great read.

BRB ima go play Majoras Mask and appreciate in more

Everything in MM was awesome, except for the clock thingy on the bottom. It ****ing pissed me off.

Well I love how you can re-play the bosses, unlike OoT.

I actually can't stand Majoras mask :V

I agree 100% with the writer of that article. I have NEVER had that feeling of anxiety or hopelessness in a game except for Majora's Mask.

I've said this before, but yeah. Majora's Mask was my favorite Zelda for mostly the reasons posted in this article. The uneasiness of having an unavoidable time limit, added to the idea that you're left to your own devices, translates to a beautifully innovative game.

I've played the majority of the LOZ Titles, and I did enjoy most of them, for what it's worth. But even when put to games like Ocarina of Time or Link to the Past, the games were just not as chaotic and emotional as Majora's Mask.

Not to mention props to Nintendo for inventing a character like Skull Kid. Best Nintendo villian of all time imo.

That Nintendork64 agreement aside, I like my Playstation, I like my Dreamcast, and I like my PS2, so meh.

Majora's Mask is still my favorite game and I completely agree with this.
