re: Official Majora's Mask Thread

Majorca's Mask is the more layered game and I appreciate it more from a plot perspective and tone than I do Ocarina
I like the tone and plot in Majora's Mask but the repetitive aspect of the groundhog day situation is just too tedious. Plus the time limit is a pain in the arse.
Not to mention the lack of direction in the game. I have no idea how anyone could get some of the masks or fairies without a guide, especially with the time limit resetting shite

I know it's not a popular opinion, but Majora's Mask is probably my least favorite Zelda game after Link's Adventure. I can respect what it was trying to do and wish another game would attempt a similar time traveling mechanic, but its heavy focus on running errands for NPC's has always bored me.
Admittedly, I've never beaten it but I got through the second dungeon and just lost steam. I'll probably give it another go one day just to see if something clicks but I think it may just not be for me and that's fine. I'm glad others enjoy it so much.

I agree with everything you just said except for Link's Adventure. I loved that one.

It was both of those things but I still loved it

The time limit isn't that much of a pain in the arse. Just play the Song of Inverted Time, and then you get 3 hours to complete a cycle. After that, do the quests required before the Temple, get the song, and awaken the Owl Statue, and then rewind time. Do the Song of Inverted Time again, teleport to the Temple, and then you've got 3 hours to beat it. When has it ever taken more than 3 hours for you to beat a Zelda Temple? It doesn't take as long as you think.
Only time it was a pain in the arse is with the Mountain Temple, since in order to get your sword upgraded, you need all 3 days to do it, thus giving you less than an hour to beat the Temple. You take more than an hour (which is just about guaranteed), then you've got to rewind time, kill the boss again, and then get your sword upgraded. That one was the only instance the time constraints fricked with me, but the boss is fun as hell, so I don't mind it that much.

The Bomber's Notebook is your friend. Granted, I thought where they put the Stone Mask was total bullshite, and apparently the creators agreed, although there should still be some more hints on where to look at an individual invisible soldier than the game provides. All Night's Mask took me a while to remember how to get it as well, since I forgot to save Granny the first night do a while. Should let that mask purchasable regardless on the final night.
And I just replayed it for the first time in like 5 years, and I only remembered the position of like 3 or 4 Fairies. Just use the Great Fairy's Mask, look for treasure chests on map, and they're not THAT hard to find.

Just don't expect a Zelda game. Think of it as Groundhog's Day meets the Apocalypse. It's a very unique game and was my first Zelda game. I played Ocarina next, and while I enjoyed it, I found it boring compared to MM since I wasn't constantly thinking things through and thought the overworld wasn't as good. Really wish rather than a straight remake of it that they could take the concept further and make a sequel of sorts to it, but with the same plot and mechanics. Seems as if you could do a lot more with the time and mask concept than was done with the original game.

Is that how it works? Every time I played it felt like nothing happens

It demands you play smart and set priorities. Just say "on this cycle, I'm just going to focus on this temple". That's really all it takes.

Despite time travel being such an overused plot device, it hasn't been used as often as I would like as a gameplay mechanic. For example, one of the reasons why I loved Chrono Trigger so much is its New Game+ mode. It allowed me to play through the story again (and again) with my characters, as if I had time traveled back to the beginning of the game and repeat the same events but with slightly different outcomes. Back then it felt like I was able to break the game but the designers planned for it. There's a lot of fun that could be mined out of that idea and the ideas present in MM.

Not to mention lobotomizing her as well.
