It's a lot easier in Master Quest

I only have OoT on that special edition disc for Gamecube, not Master Quest but it had Majoras Mask, Ocarina of Time, Zelda 1 and Zelda 2

Oh god don't remind me.

Majora's Mask is my favorite and really it gets hate it doesn't deserve. I can understand why some people might not like it but it's still pretty cool. I thought an interesting thing was not only are there a lot of sidequests but Link was looking for Novi from OOT and instead got sidetracked trying to stop the moon from falling on the world so in a since the whole game is a sidequest. I also like how it feels like a living breathing world as people will be in different places doing different things depending what day it is and what time it is.

MM also brings us something different cause in most Zelda games the big bad at the end is often Gannon(dorf) who wants to become a god and take over everything. In OOT he manages to take over at least one kingdom (two if you count his all female thief tribe who I forgot what they were called) and becomes somewhat godlike. MM rises the bar by not only giving someone else a chance to be the big bad but also someone with a different M.O. and leave his reasons up in the air. Gannondorf managed to take over Hyrule for 7 years and came clost to taking over the rest of the world but Majora was more meanicing to me cause instead of taking over he wanted to destroy everything and it only takes 3 days for him to do it if you fail. Also kinda cool was how they never tell us why he wants to destroy the world, personally I like to think it's just plain batshit crazy.

I first played this game when I was I think like 8 or 9 and I also liked that one of the themes was masks cause Halloween was my favorite holiday when I was younger and I loved how at times it felt like you were losing yourself when you wore a mask like you were becoming someone else and in a some cases you really did become someone else. The Fierce Deity mask was sort of a twisted version of what Link would look like if he lost it one day or became evil and if you use it then in a sense it was evil vs insane evil. Time was also a cool theme in this game, true OOT dealt with time but that focused more on an uncertain future where as MM dealt with being trapped in the past like almost making the player feel like they can't let go of their own past in a sense, not sure if I'm wording it right.

The game also feels like a strange combo of Halloween and New Years Eve because of the masks and the clock tower that only opens once a year for a certain holiday.

I'm actually going to do a walktrhough of it for Halloween, I felt that it seems prefect for it because of all the masks. Plus it's the first Zelda game I ever played.

I remember the days I only had a Gameboy with Links Awakening and a sega, I would see ads for MM, I wanted it, bad. Then I got a Gamecube, then about a year later the gamecube came out with a special disc with this game on it! Luckwas on my side, my friend bought a Gamecube and got it, he broke it, the store gave him a brand new one, with a second disc! He gave it to me for free

Hey Hedorah, is it just me or does the first time you play MM almost feel like it's a dream scene?

Like the very start when you walk into the tower and meet the mask salesman it almost seems like Link is dreaming.

[Hedorah]

Yeah now that you mention it, it kinda does

[gvamp]

I did end up beating the game last night pretty fun. If you have a DS pick it up it's enjoyable.

[Hedorah]

Officially pre-ordered Skyward Sword today! Let the anticipation begin!

Oh Zilla.....lol

I'll preorder it once there's a firm release date. I have a feeling it's going to get pushed back till November 2011 for some reason.

[Hellspawn28]

It seems like they make a new major Zelda game from 3-6 years. Nov 2011 seems like a right time for the game.

I know what you mean, I'm prepped for every delay that comes ahead now, but I just don't have to worry anymore, I have a guaranteed copy at Gamestop, The projected release date is currently April.

[Hellspawn28]

TP got push back from Fall 2005 to Fall 2006. I love TP but I don't think any Zelda game will over top OOT or Link to the Past.

Thats why they better not try to! Hahaha but the story really seems good for this one

[Hellspawn28]

I never played any of the DS Zelda games though. I'm a big fan of the series, and the last Zelda game I've played was TP on the Wii. I feel like I have been missing out.

[Gigan X3]

I totally disliked the DS games.

[gvamp]

I've only played the first DS game and it wasn't any thing special, Chris really likes the sequel which I still need to pick up. I still haven't played OOT all the way through yet, probably will do that on the 3DS.

The funny thing about Skyward Sword is that if they would have kept the same engine as TP then the game would be done according to an article on Kotaku last week.

[Hedorah]

I am 100% going to regret asking this buuuuut......

What do you guys think the Zelda timeline looks like?
