Majora's Mask Is The Best Zelda Game. Period

For some reason I got to thinking back to this game, and suddenly realized how great it actually was. I think I was too young at the time when I first played it to fully understand the game on all levels it was meant to be felt at, but the clarity with which I can recall the game is chilling. There are just too many elements in the game, the warped land of Termina, the creepy masks and their symboilism,the inevitable sense of doom..The 3-day gimmick worked because it created a never-ending tension.It was definitely the most mature of Zelda games, the most unsettling and in, many ways, the most disturbing.

really don't know how the development team created the atmosphere that they did, how they implemented the complex philosophical implications of the concept of time, time as decay, inevitability and hope, into a video game largely aimed towards children. This was the only game I played where you had to fight not a big evil boss imprisoning the princess, and in a sense you weren't even fighting Skullkid. You were fighting time itself.

It was a great game but it isn't the best zelda game. IMO that belongs to the Wind Waker.

Come on mate, what about about the option that sugggests no, it isn't the best game, but none the less still a good game? What if I liked the game but still thought another Zelda was better than it? There is no option for me to choose.

Anyway, it's my favorite Zelda.

I really liked A Link to the past. just my opinion.

I've only recently started playing it and I must agree. Its amazing. In the first 5 minutes you lose Epona, Link becomes a Deku child and your Ocarina is stolen... I can't tell you how scared I felt when I went up to the observatory to see Skull Kid standing on the clock tower, then panning upwards to see the moon with that creepy, evil face slowly getting closer. It was genuinely unnerving.

It was a great game but it isn't the best zelda game. IMO that belongs to the Wind Waker.

WindWaker was fantastic, but a little too easy. I think I prefer the much more challenging Majora's Mask,

It's a great game but I thinks it's heavily overrated by many of the Zelda fanbase.

I've played it 3-4 times and can't see the reason why people thinks it's better than Ocarina or Time.

I didn't care for it personally.

Well yea, its been agreed upon the hardcore Zelda fans hundreds of times that LoZ MM is the best 3d Zelda game.

I could shower the game with praises all day but im just going to say agreed.

Yeah, Majora's Mask was awesome, but I enjoyed OoT and TP more.

That would be the classic called Link To The Past.ArisShadows

We have a winner. I was playing that game yesterday in fact through some type of thing I can't really talk about, and wow those things can make them there old SNES games still look pretty damn good at 52 inches, all these years later. And JUST as FUN as I remember.

That game is truly a cla$sic, in my opinion much more so then OoT. I think that a lot is due to the N64 itself, with the sluggish frame rate and awkward controls by today's standards. Not to mention, the true 3D world made the child like (not a bad thing, per se) nature of many of the characters that much more obvious over the sprites. I prefer the sprites. By a large margin.

I still reallly like OoT and enjoyed Majora's Mask to a slightly less extent so don't get me wrong! I just think A Link To The Past is the peak of the Zelda games thus far.

I'd love to see a 3D Link to The Past with a darker visual style. Maybe even a dark style mixed with the cell shaded graphics like that of Windwaker. I'd buy that for a dollar.

Link to the Past, followed by Zelda Wind Waker, then Majora's Mask for me.

Yeah, it's definitely my favourite Zelda game.

imo the best zelda game is link to the past for the snes

well thats certainly one opinion. its wrong but it is an opinion.

Nope. That goes to OoT. MM is the 3rd best Zelda game of all time.

I agree with almost everything you said about the game, but to me Wind Waker is superior.

The game is really good. I feel like it almost suprasses OOT in every way (IMO) of course

Bought it the day it was released.

Hated it.

no way in hell is wind waker the best zelda game. I'll give you LTTP and OOT, those are undeniable classics...but wind waker? hell no.

Where is the"Is not the best but is a good game" option.

IMO is still OoT the best Zelda, after that, between Windwaker and Link to the Past.

Why? WInd Waker is a work of art, it's right up there withShadow of the Colossus, Okami and Metroid Prime, you do know that, right?charizard1605

On of my hated SW phrases, along with "hardcore/casual gamer" and "back in the day" and "loyal (insert company) fan".

OoT is still on top, to me.

THis may sound strange, but I really liked Link's Awakening. That may be my favourite. I must admit MM is one of the two Zeld games I never played.

100% dissagree, i think that the concept "art" is subjective, and for me, Art is something that transmit feelings so i think thatgames like OoT, SotC, Snake Eater, etc, are truly art.

Back on the subject, i still think that OoT is still the best.

I much preferred both Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess myself, though Majora's Mask is certainly not a bad Zelda, i just didn't enjoy it as much as the other two

Celda > All others.

Yeah, Majora's Mask was awesome, but I enjoyed OoT and TP more.

Me too. I couldn't vote because they don't allow for TP to be good

Very well said. There is certainly artistic talent behind game design, but the sum is not art. I would say the same about movies and aome books.

I disagree Wind Waker takes it for me and Ocarina of Time is next followed by A Link to the Past.

I like it, but its not my favorite
