The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask was produced two years after The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and is a direct sequel to the game taking place after the events of the previous game from when Link was a child.

The game is the second Zelda game to use 3-D graphics, and the same exact ones from Ocarina of Time with few minor details. It has the same controls and many of the same weapons from the previous game.

The story starts out with Link, the hero of time, traversing the forest with his trusty horse Epona, when suddenly a skull kid wearing a creepy mask steals Link’s horse and turns him into a Deku Scrub (one of the many races in the Zelda world). Link then meets the Happy Mask Salesman who teaches Link the Song of Healing to return him to his original form. Link soon finds out that he has three days to save the land of Termina from being crushed by a giant moon summoned by the Skull Kid. Link must go to four dungeons, get four masks, and stop the Skull Kid within three days. The story is much deeper than Ocarina of Time and much more emotional.

The three day time limit allows for greater difficulty level in the game which is good for somebody looking for a more challenging Zelda game.

The game’s main feature is the ability to use masks. This is the only Zelda game where you can transform into multiple races, ranging from Gorons, to Zoras, to Deku Scrubs. Each race has different abilities. The Deku Scrubs can move at a great speed and fly from flower petals. Gorons can roll and crush any boulders with their might. Zoras can swim in water and fight under water. Each race that Link can become with the masks is used to solve puzzles in the different dungeons. Each of the four dungeons is meant for one of the different races that Link can transform into. The fourth dungeon is meant for all of them, as there are puzzles that only each of the races can solve. The ability to transform into famous Zelda races was a great addition to the game that made it unique from all other titles in the franchise.

The music in the game is some of the best in all of the Zelda franchise especially the “Song of Healing,” which can be considered the greatest song in the entire franchise.

The musical instrument, the Ocarina of Time, makes a return in Majora’s Mask to reveal puzzles, unlock items, and warp to different places.

Some songs from Ocarina of Time appear in Majora’s Mask also. One example is the “Song of Time,” which is used to travel back three days in the past to avoid the evil moon destroying Termina on the third day.

Overall, The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask is a classic sequel to the best game in the franchise that has splendid game play, unique features, and one of the most thrilling stories in any Zelda game. The Legend of Zelda Majora’s Mask can now be purchased for the Wii Virtual Console.
