Below are a few quotes from some of our users.

“While the greatest game of all time focused more on the epic main quest, Majora’s Mask dove deeper into the characters’ situations. As you help the characters with their quests, you start to become attached to them. They each have a unique story, and you can’t help but feel bad when you know that they will likely die in three days as the menacing moon descends upon Termina.”

“I feel that there was a lot of depth in those games, a lot of quotable lines… I’m not sure why the story was so much better in those days. It’s clear in MM, but it’s there in OoT as well. The story of Zelda was never quite that good before those two games, and it was never quite as good afterward, though they tried to reach that level.”

“Nintendo really played the way they included the minor characters into the game really well, and instead of just repeating that for both games, Majora’s Mask did it a little differently.”
