{{quote|After saving both Hyrule and Termina, Link found himself without a quest. He journeyed long and far without knowing what to do. He thought a lot about the time manipulation he had done and asked himself if he was the real hero or if he was just a victim of these stories.
The more his obsession of time had grown, the more it felt that time was slowing down… Until it froze completely, condemning his journey to an endless day… Just before passing out from exhaustion, Link finally found a new country…
Master of Time is a new story in a completely new world, Abello, where Link must restore the flow of time. Abello is a big and dangerous world, but Link can count on the help of Nite the fairy.

*  Mushroom Bottle Get Item fix by fkualol (Fix Publicly available: [https://wiki.cloudmodding.com/mm/Talk:Ovl_player_actor/Get_Items])
* Restored Title Screen colors to match that of the Japanese title screen (ZELDA in purple, THE LEGEND OF & MAJORA’S MASK in a yellow-ish color)
* Text script revisions and restorations from other MM versions (including Japanese v1.0, PAL and even from Majora’s Mask 3D)
* Retranslations for the Great Bay Turtle, Lulu’s Diary and Deku Butler’s texts, localized based on the Japanese release.
* Missing or misplaced Sound Effects that play alongside the script have been properly restored
* Unused Area titles missing in MM (U) v1.0 from MM (J) v1.0 have been restored, and well as new ones added back based on Majora’s Mask 3D.
* Uncensored Skull Kid face and beak ported from MM (J) v1.0.
* Cleansed Southern Swamp map object fixes ported from the Poisoned Swamp map data from MM (U) v1.0.

Relics of the Past takes BOTW and makes it much more difficult. Rather than buffing the enemies or just making weapons scarcer, Relics of the Past adds the difficulty through new map changes. To be more specific, it does so in a similar fashion to how the DLC adds newly placed objects and enemies. Relics does the same but on a full world scale. This in itself creates a brand new experience while staying true to the fundamentals of the original vanilla game.

{{quote|As it happens to be a feature of Randomizers, this Randomizer will randomize items you will find in chests and be given by NPCs. Randomized enemy drops are included too. Additionally, warping via both the Sheikah Slate as well as going inside and outside of shrines has the chance of getting randomized too.
 
But... this was only the basic part. I aimed to expand the definition of a “Randomizer” for this legendary game... So I built a new system which I named “The Randomizer Cycle”. This cycle will trigger randomly and picks one of many, many options that will change your game on the fly.|Developer description}}
