Where Majora rises to the top is its concept – three days to save the world. The execution of the idea is flawless: time means everything and the player always has to be aware. The save system is absolutely perfect, letting players feel comfortable in controlling time but still keeping them on the edge of their seats when things get hairy.

Stunning, optimized graphics; immersive, rich sound; refined, complex, and deep gameplay; and a mature, gripping plot make it a game that you won't want to miss.

É um jogo bom mas ele tem muito problemas para quem está iniciando a franquia Zelda, ele tem a rotina dos três dias você tem que fazer as sidequests que são complexas e precisam de guia as Dungeons são boas sim, mas vou irá precisar de guia pra zerar o jogo.

Superbly replayable. Love how the routine that first introduced in oot really shining here. At first quite intimidating but if you are fine by learning and failing, the core mechanics of the game actually super fun. Limitation of the time is not even a problem in late game, collecting mask is superbly supported by notebook so it comfortly guided you. And also superbly rewarding cos it has unique abilities. The only one that allows you to reexperience a dungeon, you could planned your own boss rush. It is superb, the only flaw that makes it not ten is it has same control altho more polished than oot but same regardless.

Pros: - Great story, atmosphere, and emotional depth. - Great art direction and graphics. - Good music. - Good boss fights. - Unique sense of urgency and pressure. - Optional "easy mode" melodies. - Big room for creativity and experimentation. Cons: - Clunky controls and bad camera, especially in multiple-enemy battles and fast paced movement. - The game requires so much pausing for item switching. - Some puzzles are overly confusing, while others hold your hand too much. - Some deliberate time-wasting challenges with low creativity. Conclusion: The game can get more frustrating than enjoyable at times, because the cons directly diminish the pros. If you want to have traditional fun, play Ocarina of Time instead, but If you want something unique and different —fun in its own way— then this is absolutely it.

Solid controls and complex-but rarely complicated-character interactions combine to produce another classic adventure.

Constantly surprising, always delightful, never less than utterly stunning, this journey through the looking glass into a new and perfectly formed world is escapism of the very highest order.

Este juego supero en muchos aspectos a ocarina of time aunque muchos diran que ocarina es mejor por la nostalgia este juego la historia se sentia un poco mas madura.

As the follow up to Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask takes the familiar formula and twists it into something far stranger and more experimental. Instead of another grand adventure across a sprawling kingdom, the game traps you in a repeating three day cycle where every decision matters. Managing time becomes part of the core gameplay, whether you are planning dungeon runs, helping townsfolk, or racing to complete sidequests before the moon crashes down. The transformation masks completely change how you approach combat, movement, and exploration, making Termina feel mechanically fresh even while reusing parts of Ocarina’s engine and assets. It is one of Nintendo’s boldest sequels because it refuses to simply repeat what worked before. What really makes Majora’s Mask unforgettable though is its atmosphere. Beneath the quirky surface is a deeply melancholic world where every NPC is quietly facing the end in their own way. By the third day, the town feels heavy and anxious, with characters becoming desperate, withdrawn, or resigned as the moon looms overhead. Some of the game’s best moments come from its long, multi day sidequests, where you slowly piece together personal stories and relationships across different timelines, trying to help people find closure before time resets again. Few games capture that strange mix of dread, intimacy, and warmth quite like Majora’s Mask. It feels lonely and comforting at the same time, like wandering through a village at dusk while a storm gathers above your wings.

The change in mood and the incredible new story are enough to rope anybody in for the easy thirty or more hours it will take to complete this worthy sequel.

It's easily the best game I've played so far this year on the N64 (although Banjo-Tooie might be a strong contender) and will remain one of my favorite games for a long time to come.

even though I had more fun playing through Ocarina of Time, overall, Majora's Mask is just as impressive technically and possibly even more rewarding to play because of Link's newfound abilities with each of the masks he acquires.

Some will appreciate the game's differences, while others will find the game's focus on minigames and side quests tedious and slightly out of place.

The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask é uma obra prima do N64, com sua atmosfera sombria, uma história que aborda temas pesados faz esse jogo ser a obra prima que é, a mecânica das máscaras é espetacular, cada uma com sua característica especial, os mínimos detalhes como a Lua se aproximando lentamente de Termina, entrega uma sensação de medo e de desespero de conseguir terminar esse ciclo ou não, todos esses detalhes tornam Majora's Mask uma jóia do N64.

The art and secondary characters really feel very alive. But the gameplay is too convoluted and clunky. It's not a world you want to be in, the game's routines and missions, far from offering an escape from reality, feel like more homework. The three day system starts out as something different but ends up being overwhelming
