When we Zelda fans yearn for something dark, cryptic, and shrouded in mystery, we often turn to Majora’s Mask, and rightfully so. This game contains some of the eeriest content we’ve seen from this beloved franchise, and one of the most haunting elements of this game is the countdown to Termina’s demise. Medli’s Melodies is…
The spooky season is now upon us! And what Zelda game is more appropriate to talk about than Majora’s Mask? It doesn’t hold back on its unsettling motifs and creepy designs, and that’s exactly why we love it. It’s why every other piece of Majora’s Mask fan art magnifies the creepy elements of the game:…
Today, Ubisoft launches its new interstellar adventure game, Starlink: Battle for Atlas. Those of us picking the game up on the Nintendo Switch are in for a special treat; the Star Fox team and their arch-nemesis Wolf O’Donnell are integrated into the story, and Fox McCloud is playable through the entire campaign. This crossover got…
New York Comic-Con is my favorite time of year! There’s so much to love about it — The people, the vendors, the panels, and my personal favorite, the cosplay. The Legend of Zelda has always been well represented at this convention in the past, so this year I wanted to celebrate them with an article…
If you play Majora’s Mask under regular conditions, in the manner it was meant to be played, there’s already no shortage of horror themes throughout the game. It’s widely regarded as the most sinister title in the Zelda series, from its overarching doomsday plot to the expressions of grief, sadness, and hopelessness among its vast cast of characters.…
My first time playing Majora’s Mask is an experience I’ll never forget. I still remember the excitement of getting to control Link after the opening, only for him to be wrested from my hand and suddenly controlling the newly transformed Deku Link instead. That, combined with the new and spunky fairy partner Tatl, made the…
Imagine being a Goron rolling along a narrow track. Falling off the track resets the Goron back to the beginning. Now imagine this track with multiple 90-degree turns that must be made by bouncing off of a chest. There is no chance for rest or relaxation; the track must be completed without pause. If the…
Back when I first played The Wind Waker, I never really thought about the Hylian text littered across the game. Obviously, I thought it looked cool, but at the time, I don’t think I knew that the text I was seeing was all part of a fully realized language. Yet you see it scrawled across all…
Bosses are an essential element of every Zelda game. They are the culmination of all dungeons, a test of your skills and mastery of the item you just found (which coincidentally turns out to be the boss’s weakness), and they provide a fun and innovative fight. Just throw in a pinch of awesome music, and voila! You’ve got yourself…
Thinking back to the beaches I’ve ventured through in most video games, most of my memories range from pleasant to joyful. Rolling watermelons on Super Mario Sunshine’s Gelato Beach, soaring across the skies of Banjo-Kazooie’s Treasure Trove Cove, speeding across Sonic Adventure’s Emerald Coast and hanging with friends on Kingdom Hearts’ Destiny Islands. As we all know, of course, Majora’s Mask isn’t “most video games”.…
Though it’s coming to an end shortly, it’s one of my most favorite times of year: Shark Week! Why? I love sharks! It’s as simple as that. Realm of Memories is a series where we reflect on our absolute favorite moments in The Legend of Zelda games. These could be the times we first fell…
From the very beginning, Zelda games have given players a big wide world to explore, and although the world size and level of freedom varies throughout the series, most include some form of transportation to help you navigate quicker and more adventurously than walking. It wasn’t until Ocarina of Time that we got the iconic…
In my opinion, the Stone Tower Temple music in Majora’s Mask is one of the best tracks in the game, and possibly the whole series. So, when I stumbled across this Stone Tower Temple remix by Josh Barron, which is part of the FATE: A Tribute to Majora’s Mask album, I was entranced. I’ve heard…
