Ten years ago, the yearly Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) saw one of its most jaw-dropping reveals in a long history of memorable video game announcements. At the tail end of Nintendo’s press conference, the Japanese game company had one last surprise in store. The throng of game enthusiasts crowding the auditorium sat in near-silent anticipation as it set its final trailer in motion. The lights dimmed as heroic music played over scenes of an unknown hero galloping towards a hostile…

Majora’s Mask was first announced in May of 1999 and at the time many believed that it was going to be the long expected Ura Zelda, an expansion of Ocarina of Time. However, in August of 1999, we got what was the first trailer for Majora’s Mask and it was at the Nintendo Space World event in August 1999.

It surely just seems like a placeholder date as the 1st of the month is usually reserved for such games that have no official release date. However, it does seem very plausible as a November release will allow the game to become Nintendo’s top game come this holiday season.

Whether the game releases in 2010 or not, we will be playing it before then, at least that’s what Eiji Aonuma wants.

In a recent interview with Asahi Shimbun, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata confirmed that he wants to release the next Legend of Zelda title for the Nintendo Wii before the end of 2010.
