When I played Majora’s Mask as a kid, I was mesmerised by how real the characters felt. They conveyed real, relatable fears, problems, and in particular feelings of loss and grief that everyone experiences at some point in their life. I grieved for Anju, mourned for Lulu, felt heartbroken for Darmani, and so many others.…
I’ll always remember two key moments from when I was around 12 years old: The first time I beat Ocarina of Time, and the moment afterwards when I desperately wanted another game just like it. This eventually led to me playing my favorite Zelda game of all time, Majora’s Mask, and I want to share…
I don’t need to tell you that Majora’s Mask is a creepy game. But the Majora’s Mask itself is still the most unsettling thing in all of Termina, closely followed by the Moon, Pamela’s father as a Gibdo, and that feeling when you know the Great Bay Temple is next. I know that the mask’s appearance may not…
Before we get a glimpse of the future of Super Smash Bros. later today during Nintendo’s E3 Direct, I thought it was only right to first look back at a piece of the franchise’s history for this week’s trivia spotlight. Plus, in celebration of the Electronic Entertainment Expo this week, we’re going to look at some footage…
A lot of remixes we get on here are often reorchestrated tracks, which is fantastic. But for this week’s highlight, I thought I’d go in a different direction with something electronic. I immediately loved this Deku Palace Electro Remix by Ben ‘Flibster’ Hayward when I first heard it years ago, and have come back to…
The Legend of Zelda has some of the best music in video game history, so good that it even inspired a traveling concert. I’m not ashamed to say that I listen to this music all the time, and with a soundtrack as fantastic as this series, why wouldn’t I? I’ve been wanting to define and…
From shooting galleries to fishing ponds, Zelda is full of fun mini-games designed to give you a nice change of pace and break up the main gameplay. Best of all, they often yield great rewards, whether it’s an inventory expansion, a new bottle, or a good old heart piece. We all have our preferences for…
Christmas in the year 2000 is a time I will never forget. It’s the Christmas I obtained my favorite Zelda game Majora’s Mask. A lot of the game’s themes went right over my 9-year-old head, but I always had the feeling when I played it, what I was doing was much greater than anything I’d ever done in…
This might be cheating a little bit in two ways: one, this remix includes a theme from a game of a different franchise, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island; and two, this was made by me. It’s not that I’m trying to promote my work, but I just want to share this theme with everyone and…
It’s no secret that First 4 Figures makes amazing statues and replicas, but have you ever wondered just how much work goes into creating them? If you’re like me and the answer is “yes,” then you’ll definitely appreciate their production documentaries. With the Majora’s Mask replica being scheduled for release within the next couple of months, First…
Some of the best and catchiest themes in the Legend of Zelda series are the overworld themes. It’s here that the music needs to be special because these themes are the most often heard music in the games. Two of my favorite overworld themes are Hyrule Field from Ocarina of Time, and Termina Field from Majora’s Mask. I consider…
You know the legend of the Lost Woods: Kokiri children that get lost in there are trapped inside and turned into Skull Kids. In a way, they lose everything they used to be, they no longer have an identity. So it is no surprise one would be inevitably attracted by a mask, one that granted…
What would the iconic pass-time of smashing pots and cutting people’s lawns be without shops to spend your hard-earned rupees in? Throughout the series, shops in Zelda games have offered all sorts of items to Link to aid him on his quest — from arrows and armour to bottles and bombs. Some are more memorable…
Everybody talks about Link and Zelda as “the greatest couple in Zelda history” or even in video game history but, at least in my opinion, there is no better example of true love than Anju & Kafei, from Majora’s Mask. While every character in Termina is relatable in some way, these two have the most human-like emotions a…
Majora’s Mask is a game that easily immerses me into its environment. The game has a way of creating an atmosphere that feels ominous. Whether Link is doing a light sidequest or experiencing a heavy moment (such as his meeting with Mikau), the ominous vibe never disappears. It’s mostly because the world is about to be destroyed…
