You are saving a savestate, not a regular in-game save. F5 (or Ctrl+S) saves a state, F7 (or Ctrl+L) loads a state. Savestates are zipped by the emulator by default because it saves diskspace. You don't need to unzip savestates.

To save in-game in Majora's Mask (as intended by the game's developers), you need to get the Ocarina of Time and then play the Song of Time.

so if i play the song of time it saves, alse thee is no normal save oppurtunity in the game?

 

[Agozer]

Playing the Song of Time in the game is the "normal save opportunity" in the game. There is no "Save game" menu (in the common sense of the word) in the game. If you dislike this behavior, you can use savestates, but then again, savestates are prone to corruption.

owl statues work to save the current progress, when used.
