It took me awhile to really get used to it, especially knowing my way around and how fast the time flies. However, later, I started gettin' used to it and all, and was able to catch on and fly through it like there was no time. Sometimes, the timer is actually your best friend in the game.
It is a very interesting game. I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it, but it isn't just an average game. It is something special that could only come out of the minds of Nintendo. Too bad they sold out on gamers.
Very underrated. In some aspects it's better than Ocarina, and in others it's not quite as good, but it ends up being about equal. Some people panic when they see the timer, but it's no big deal once you can go back and forth through time. I'd definitely recommend playing it.
i got the cartridge just recently havent got around to playing again especially with all the great new releases. but from what remember it was a very fun game:D

MM has a lot less "popping up" of characters and enemies--further AI distance, and the textures are more detailed. It's a darker game than OoT was.  It is deceptively innocent while dealing with some very visceral fears and themes. Just go into the postman's room on the third day. He'd gone crazy with fear. Over and over you watch a small society breaking down as their doom approaches. From the very beginning your identity is stripped away--you, the hero, are powerless before this skull kid entity. All your struggles are reset after three days. No one remembers what you've done for them. It's a very interesting and deep game.
That said, I haven't even gotten to finish it. I bought and played most of it when it first came out, but was perhaps too young to appreciate it (I wanted the "cool" adult Link, lol). I recently played it on an emulator (this solves any annoyances with the save sytem lol) and got pretty far, but then lost the save file due to PC problems... I may pick it up again sometime.
It's one of my favorite games ever, I would have called it a better game than OoT if it wasn't for one little issue, it felt so much smaller, shorter and less epic.. even though the world was huge in that game as well.
I thought it was absolutely superb. Not quite as good as Ocarine of Time, but pretty darn close. The temples were much zanier and the graphics were definitely a tad better. The mask collecting was such a joy and the 3-day system was pretty neat. I used the Inverted Song of Time a lot to make 3 days last 6 or 9 or whatever it was, which afforded a lot more time to do stuff. :lol:

But yeah, fantastic game.

I didn't learn about the inverted song of time until my second playthrough, that was a bit frustrating >_>
it's a great n64 game. I just didn't care for the time feature (my biggest urk is time counting down in adventure games). But urk asside, I did beat it, and it is a great game to play. Glad I did play it through til the end.

It's much more mature, deep, and just better than OoT. The 3 day cycle adds in a much needed challenge. It's my favorite game ever. The final boss is so bad ass looking and cool, but his diffuculty is somewhat easy. That's the only complaint I can think of.

I learned it from the Scarecrow on my first play through iirc.
Majora's Mask is the second best game ever...right behind OoT. MM was a really deep game, in actuality. They tried to make TP the darkest Zelda game, but couldn't beat out MM. Overall, I feel it's definitely the smartest game in the series. Anouma's (sp?) first Zelda has been his best, so far.
