I love Zelda, but Majoras Mask was bullshit. I never bothered to play most of it because I found it too tedious going backwards and fowards through days and whatever. If there wasn't any day countdown and included some half decent bosses the game would of been cool. And also not focused on masks so much
.
I didn't find MM boring at all. The only thing that was kinda annoying was having to re-collect money and things like bombs, and money isn't a problem if you know how to reach a few silver rupees. :flowers: Also collecting items is easy once you have the Goron's Mask.
Also I had to re-do the second dungeon once because I took too long and had literally 2 seconds on the clock when I pulled out my Ocarina to warp back after finishing it... but it was easy the second time through.
If the game didn't have a countdown it'd be way too easy, anyway.
And half decent bosses? The TwinMold owned all of OOT's bosses hands down! Well maybe not Bongo dude, but still, I occasionally pop the game in again just to go fight TwinMold again ^_^ And the entire water dungeon was a blast, IMO... and ended with one of the toughest 3D Zelda bosses to date.
Then there's the menus. They're vastly improved over OOT's. Before you say anything about how identical they
seem, consider a few things: 1. Item selection - you can move the cursor across blank spaces. Very handy if your items are sparse across the board; I remember several times in OOT I had to wrestle with the cursor to select an item. 2.
SPEED. OOT's is just freaking painful to navigate after spending some time in MM. And 3. Die, equipment subscreen, die. It shouldn't have been necessary, darnit!
Next we have the masks. What's wrong with the masks? Some of the masks felt too gimmicky (like the all-night mask - it gets you two pieces of heart but otherwise does squat), but they were still fun, and the bunny hood was UBER useful. And Zora Link > *.
Finally... OOT's entire story was almost like Zelda:LttP: The Director's Cut. There were so many parallels it just bugged the hell out of me. MM has an original, and very touching storyline.
