MM bosses?

[kpllk]

How come MM doesn't have any bosses from other zelda games? The final boss should be Ganon or Ganondorf at least. Why is everything different? Is it because it is in Termina and not Hyrule or someithing? Why is it based in Termina anyway and how did Link just happen to be riding his horse in that area when Skullkid was there trying to destroy the town.

Majora is a great boss... Also the battle with Goht is immensely fun and the battle with Twinmold is just epicly great(in size) xD

[Hylian Hobbit]

I liked how it didn't have bosses from other games. The bosses in MM were awesome. Having Ganondorf in it would have completely ruined it Imo.

Why is it based in Termina anyway and how did Link just happen to be riding his horse in that area when Skullkid was there trying to destroy the town.

Why not have it in Termina? It was a nice break from the "save the princess to save the world" plot. And was Link in the Lost Woods looking for Navi when he was attacked by the Skull Kid. And when he fell down the into the abyss he was taken into the land of Termina. That's the theory anyway.

I'm not complaining about new bosses, Nintendo rehashes them quite a lot, and it was nice to have a break. Most of them were really fun, and some were very difficult (Gyorg, anyone?).

As for being in Termina, I think it was a good idea. A whole new parallel world to explore is awesome. And the Lost Woods could lead anywhere as far as we know, so it's not a big surprise that there's a portal to Termina there

[kpllk]

Right. I never said I didn't like the changes in it. I think there pretty good. And you all have good pionts.

i liked the MM bosses, and especialy you could fight them over and over again.
even if there is no ganondorf and different bosses then normal, that makes the game unique.

well, i never saw ganondorf outside hyrule. he is obsessed to gain the triforce

and yes, link was riding in lost woods to look for navi and suddenly he gets mugged by two faries and skull kid with a weird mask. so link chases this skull kid, falls to a other dimension and becomes a cursed deku scrub. well you know the rest...

[Skull_Kid]

Ganondorf was revived in Labrynna and Holodrum, but it's a different case...

[Kybyrian]

You know, I really never noticed that Majora's Mask didn't have any bosses from the other Zelda games. But I think that Majora was a good change from Ganondorf. He/she was a great boss.

Thats a part of what made MM so great and unique.

Majora was both an decent, if not a great boss, and besides I was getting very tired of killing Ganon over and over again.

Why is it based in Termina? As Hylian Hobbit said, "why not?". It was a nice change and also contributed to the breaking of the cliche settings in all the other the games.

[Y2K3]

I agree with that others seem to be saying. It was a nice change from the usual.
Besides, why not? ;)

[EponaOwns]

Wow I didn't notice that. Maybe there is different bosses because Link entered a different world *not so sure*. The bosses are fun though, Goht especially and you get to rebattle them.(:

[Skull_Kid]

Well... maybe the regular bosses went on vacation... Goht surely is cool and the Twinmold are too... and Majora pawns xD

[Axle the Beast]

I'm not sure. MM was an oddity, but I rather liked it. The bosses were different from normal in plot as well as design. They weren't some monsters left in the temples as guardians, or at least not only that, they were also the giants (if I remember correctly,) cursed by masks and transformed into monsters.

As for Majora's Mask itself, well, I thought it was a great villain, and a great boss. Freaky, and unique. Not to mention it sort of resembled a clown/jester, just slightly. I'm always a fan of clowns and jesters. XD

[zeldusfanaticus]

the bosses were very entertaining because you can fiiight them more than once

Oh, right, I forgot about that. That was cool. :D

That's rather interesting actually. I didn't think of it like that, but more that the bosses were just guardians created by the Skull Kid.

[Skull_Kid]

I think that they are guardians too, even though in the manga(wich is non-canon), the bosses are the giants with masks on

[Majora]

I don't care if the bosses were different. They did a great job with them, especially with Gyorg and Majora. Those guys were challenging, and were original. And as far as the story is concerned, it made sense. Skull Kid wasn't destroying the town when Link "happened to be riding through a forest."

I also like the masked giant theory, and it makes sense.

[Josh]

The MM bosses that I've actually beaten were fine. They seemed a lot more innovative then just something like a frikken warrior (although the first kind of is but........:) ) It was good different change.

[Axle the Beast]

I never read the manga (I do know it's non-canonical.) It's been a while since I played MM, but I'm pretty sure I remembered there being implications of the bosses being the Giants.

I don't know, I might not have my facts straight. I still like the theory, though, and it would make sense. After all, the quest items you got from them were their "remains," but they were just masks. Why only masks? Where was the rest of them?

[Zeanith]

Cuz Ganon is a n00b.


Majora is the princess of chaos and evil things that hurt people.
She pwns.

[Chris]

I believe that MM is in a Parallel Dimension or something, that would explain the Diffrent Bosses. Though, the Mini-bosses were close or even the same to the other games.

Majora isn't female... it doesn't even have a gender; it's a mask. XD

Anyway, as for the whole "Giants being the bosses" theory... well, I was just playing MM and I confirmed it... sorta.

The bosses are not the Giants. They are evil creatures, possibly created by the Skull Kid/Majora, but not necessarily. The masks they wear have the Giants sealed inside them. This is canonical, I just confirmed it in the game itself.

[imthemailman]

majoras mask was just different and awesome it was like the first really weird zelda except if u count links awakening cos its a dream..

[shadowscrub]

i never finished that one, in fact i only beat 2 handheld zelda games. oracle of seasons, and phantom hourglass

[Kybyrian]

I never heard that at all, but that seems pretty reasonable and I'm believing it myself.

Yeah. I actually played the game just recently, and I posted the actual correct information on it, which was slightly different than I remembered. Read my last post if you want to know.

[ZeroJinKui]

man i miss majora's mask... unfortunately, i had a defective copy of the game, my data would keep vanishing and reappearing, and sometimes it'd stay gone...

so unfortunately, i needed to use a gameshark in order to actually beat it, cause playin it normally, i'd lose all my hard work constantly...

the game was really awesome though, i loved all the masks you could play with, especially the fierce deity mask. ^_^

[Ver-go-a-go-go]

Most of the bosses of Zelda have been copied and re-done several times. (How many times have we seen Gohma?) MM did a good job with the bosses, and the final boss was better than most of the other final bosses in Zelda IMHO.

[Hero0fTimeLink]

He did not fight Ganondorf in Majora's Mask because it is a sequel to OoT and he already killed Ganondorf and he was riding his horse when he left kokiri forest ( i think xp)
