Majora's Mask has only four dungeons, so the gameplay places great emphasis upon various sidequests. Link has two special skills to exploit in his new quest: He can gather and wear different masks to transform into new forms (each form has its own unique abilities), and he can use the Ocarina of Time to time travel back to the beginning of his quest (which gives him the additional time needed to unravel the Skull Kid's plot). Link eventually regains both his Ocarina and his true form, then sets out on a quest to save Termina by traveling across the land to awaken its slumbering guardians. The impact will wipe out everyone and everything.
But a sinister omen hangs in the sky: The Skull Kid has taken control of the moon, and he intends to crash it into Termina within three days. Link soon discovers that he has fallen into the parallel world of Termina, the residents of which are preparing for the annual Carnival of Time. Link chases after the trio, but falls down a rabbit hole of sorts and is transformed into a Deku Scrub by the mischievous Skull Kid. As he wanders through a mysterious forest on his trusty horse, Epona, he is mugged by a masked Skull Kid and his two Fairy Companions, who steal Epona and the Ocarina of Time before fleeing. The game was notable both for being the darkest entry in the series at the time, a title that it's still in the running for to this day (for the most part), and for being one of only a handful of games that required the N64 Expansion Pack.Īfter the end of Ocarina of Time, Link embarks on a personal quest to reunite with a lost friend. Fitting, as the devs only had that one year to make it, owing to a bet Eiji Aonuma made with series creator Shigeru Miyamoto. Six months later, it was released in North America on October 27, followed by Europe on November 17.Ī follow-up to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time in terms of both story and gameplay, the development team re-used the engine and character models from Ocarina of Time, which reduced the development time of this game to one year.
The game was released in its home country of Japan on April 27, 2000, where it is known as Zelda no Densetsu: Mujura no Kamen. Majora's Mask is the sixth game in The Legend of Zelda series, released as one of the last games for the Nintendo 64. "You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?"
