One of the joys of following a long-running series is hunting for Easter eggs and other references to previous installments in the most recent release. Zelda games are no exception. I always appreciate the creative ways Zelda developers allude to preceding titles in their work. In A Link Between Worlds, one of the primary story and…
The original scores created for Majora’s Mask were composed with the same care and passion as its predecessor, and while many of them, such as the “Song of Healing” and “Stone Tower Theme,” are widely celebrated, one track I feel goes a bit underappreciated is the theme of Tatl and Tael’s reunion. Because of this,…
There is a line from an old song: “When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that’s amore.” I find it nonsensical personally, despite it being a classic in pop culture. I don’t want to be hit in the eye by pizza, let alone the moon, but in Majora’s Mask, it’s a…
If there was one area in Ocarina of Time that 10-year-old me did not want Termina to have a parallel of, it was the Bottom of the Well. There are a whole load of unpleasant things waiting for you down there, whether it’s not knowing if you might fall through the floor, if a ReDead…
Few games marry whimsy and creepiness together as well as Majora’s Mask does. The game’s narrative, themes, settings, and characters all have incredible designs in regards to the implementation of this dynamic. This was most clear when Link finally made his way to Ikana Canyon and met all of the spooky-yet-charming specters who inhabited this…
West Clock Town is the business district of Clock Town. The variety of its commerce-centered stores, such as the Trading Post, Bomb Shop and many others, offer Link a place to stock up on necessities, earn rewards, and find one-of-kind items. At the southern end of the area is a rising stone walkway with various stores…
East Clock Town comes off as the most “townish” part of the Clock Town. It’s the town’s entertainment hub, government center, and overall greatest tourist destination. There’s a lot to do there, some of it mandatory and some of it optional. East Clock Town is the busiest part of the town by far and is…
I remember the time I started to learn how to draw like it was yesterday. I had recently gotten into manga, thanks to a friend I had made from the local church I went to. My eyes lit up at the covers, as the drawings were so well done and beautiful. Flipping through the pages,…
If you’ve read any of my Gerudo-related articles, you’ve probably learnt by now that I’m a Gerudo fanatic. I fell in love with the badass woman warriors in Ocarina of Time, so imagine my delight when I played Majora’s Mask, not long after completing Ocarina of Time, and discovered the Pirates’ Fortress. I was thrilled…
Guru Guru is a recurring character in the Zelda series with a jolly disposition, but who is surprisingly quick to anger over seemingly trivial matters. In Ocarina of Time, Guru Guru becomes enraged that some kid played a song that made the windmill spin rapidly, even though the man is clearly obsessed with things that…
According to a tweet from legendary game designer Suda51, the upcoming Switch-exclusive title Travis Strikes Back: No More Heroes will feature a special Majora’s Mask t-shirt to commemorate the game’s launch. Players can choose to outfit protagonist Travis Touchdown with this outstanding piece of clothing or select from a selection of shirts for games like Hollow…
When most people think of Majora’s Mask, they think of the moon, the timer, or the masks themselves. They think of the game’s contrasting themes, the music which seems so lighthearted at first but grows darker as the days progress, or the numerous characters you run across as you race across Termina under the pressing…
North Clock Town is the northernmost section of Clock Town which, given the name, is no surprise. Despite at first not looking very busy, it is home to many characters and the setting for multiple events and activities. The northern exit leads to the northern part of Termina Field and is how Link reaches Snowhead…
As I was searching for a version of Majora’s Mask‘s “Bremen Mask March” to share with our readers, I happened across this incredible piano cover by Video Game Pianist. I knew I had to share it after only seconds of listening. This musician is extraordinarily talented, demonstrating a mastery of the keys while making it…
