That is the question Eiji Aonuma and the team at Nintendo were faced with in 1999, and the result was one of the greatest departures ever seen in the Legend of Zelda series. Majora's Mask isn't a typical Legend of Zelda game; indeed, excepting the second entry in the series, it is by far the most unique game in the entire franchise - a black sheep as it were. Yet despite all its quirks, Majora's Mask is often heralded as one of the greatest entries in the entire Legend of Zelda series. Does this game deserve such an illustrious reputation? That is the question I seek to answer this day. 00:00 Introduction: A Looming Omen 04:35 History and Context: To Follow up a Masterpiece 08:32 Opening and Tutorial: Beyond Journey's End 14:44 Clock Town, Part 1: The First Cycle 23:47 The Three-Day Cycle: A Mechanic Lost to Time 32:57 The Overworld: A Land in Turmoil 52:22 The Four Worlds: Linear Map Design Done Well 53:51 Southern Swamp: Monkey See, Monkey Do 59:52 Dungeon 1: Woodfall Temple 1:06:36 Story, Part 1: A Hero Cursed by Time 1:12:55 Snowhead: Easing a Hero's Regrets 1:19:02 Dungeon 2: Snowhead Temple 1:26:04 Characters and Side Quests, Part 1: Side Content Galore 1:48:52 Great Bay: A Rockin' Set of Swimming Controls 2:03:01 Dungeon 3: Great Bay Temple 2:13:02 Ikana Canyon: Valley of Death 2:22:40 Mini-Dungeon(s) 1: Beneath the Well and Ikana Castle 2:37:10 Stone Tower: An Absolute Slog 2:39:11 Dungeon 4: Stone Tower Temple 2:48:01 Clock Town, Part 2: A City at the End of Time 3:00:12 Characters and Side Quests, Part 2: The Heart of the Game 3:23:31 Story, Part 2: Final Hours 3:28:37 Final Confrontation: Inside the Moon 3:36:57 Aside: The Fierce Deity Mask 3:38:40 Final Boss: Majora's Mask 3:47:23 Story, Part 3: Unraveling the Lore of Termina 4:08:36 Conclusion: A Tragic Masterpiece Magibauble's Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiejXrjMObM The Creepy & the Cozy's Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lX_eSg6NWu4&t=4s
