[Let's Play!] Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

[BreakABone]

I was going to do the first dungeon but felt like was missing something so warped back to the first day and just explored the village.

I was able to pick up 3 masks (some bomb one, fairy one and one that makes me march and the dog in town to visit me), I also learned that some things will be done over and over again (getting the title deed from the first deku) don't know how fun that will be.

A useful mask to get is the bunny ears btw. It's fairly easy to get and it makes link run faster when he has them on.

Man this game was awesome, but so difficult and that time thing was neat but annoying.

Yeah, I remember the bunny ears being crucial.

Man, this really makes me want to play this again. I think it's a better game than Ocarina. I'll have to track down my copy.

What I thought made the game difficult was it just expected you to know so many things. This is one of the few games that I think having a guide makes it more fun.

Nah it's all laid out there for you. Especially if you played OoT or any other zelda game. For the most part, it's full of quirky characters and annoying fetch quests to get masks. There was one seriously dumb part at the end of the game that involved the goron mask. That was difficult. LOL.

-I’m playing the GC version. The higher res and the better control stick are nice, but the game often slows down when there’s too much action going on. Also crashed once, fortunately I hadn’t done anything in that day yet.


I always play as ‘Link’! (Although sometimes as my real name.)

-Great introduction. Loved how Skull Kid hid the ocarina behind his back. Ninty has humor. The nightmare is nice as well. The text is sometimes a bit fast though.
-The stupid dog attacked me! Is this how they welcome their hero? Guess I’ll have to get back at them by entering their houses and breaking their pots.
-Does anyone else think it’s cheap that Nintendo reused so many models and animations of OoT?


Nice flashback of Zelda. I guess OoT has a special place is many gamers hearts.

-End of the first ground hog day. Hah @ Link waving goodbye to the nightmarish deku scrub.


I love using the backflip to reach funny areas.

-Used the second ‘day’ for finding 4 pieces of heart. I just love exploring the lively world!
-Got to the forest temple, but a bit late in the days. Went back in time and spent a lot of time on the people in Clock Town. (Bah, somebody once told me that you get a piece of heart when you get the lottery right for all 3 days… I did it for 120 rupees?)


I only now realized this is a toilet.

-The stupid poisonous water made me drown twice! I’ll hate it if those count as game-overs.
-My body smells like monkey. Thanks!
-I remind the Deku butler of his son… So his son died and I got his body (like with the other 2 transforming masks)?
-So as you’ve noticed: 1 temple down. I just wish I had Epona back…


I think a score of 60+ is possible, but sometimes I just mess it up. (2 tries)

Great game, much better than I remembered.

I think the dungeons are longer to count for a shorter game. I wouldn't know, I've never gotten past Snowhead Temple (which I'm currently at!)

[Angrist]

I didn't think the first dungeon was that long... It was big because of some huge rooms, which also took more time. But as for content, I'd say it was pretty average. Short maybe.

The boss was nice because he was different. Not just 1 strategy, but hack & slash also worked.

I love the mystery of Kafei. Can't wait to find out again how that will work out.

[Ric]

The only part I could never solve.

I scored a perfect on the forest archery gallery. The one that you could call an open sided shop.
Done everything else.

I love this game, my favourite Zelda

EDIT: Ok I started playing but I could not get past this bit
If only you could get back here with the song of healing. (Or with the Keaton mask for the dancing bushes before this bit for that matter)

[TheSlyMoogle]

I got my schedule for work today, and it looks like I'll probably have to do up until Snowfall temple on friday itself LOL!

[Angrist]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!! I lost 3 hours of playtime because the stupid game crashed.

Now I'll have to do Snowfall temple all over again. And the stuff after that (powder keg etc.).

Another victory for virtual console. :P

I finished Snowhead the other day with no problems, but I didn't do the whole business with the Medigoron and the Goron races because I forgot about that cave he was in. So I went to check the ranch to get into Termina Bay with the horse but the stupid thing was blocked with that boulder and bombs weren't working!

I went exploring in the town to see what I could find there regarding this boulder but I didn't get anything other than the Bremen and Kafei mask. Also noted that the old lady had gotten her bag stolen at the North Gate which should hook me up with the big bomb bag. Noted for later. (Thank you Bombers Notebook!)

I waited and waited for that guy to get the boulder out of the way, and once I got in Romani wasn't talking to me, and neither was her sister. Something was wrong.

Went back to Snowhead, cleared up the snow by defeating Goht again, visited the Medigoron and opened the races. Completed the races and got the gold dust, but I had wasted so much time waiting for that boulder to get cleared that they couldn't finish my sword. So I saved and went back only to find MY GOLD DUST WAS GONE.

Cue anger.

Went back to Medigoron to get powder keg, and it was gonna cost me 100 freakin' Rupees for one of these stupid things. Didn't have any money since I came from a fresh save, so I had to fly back to Clock Town to get money to then get a Powder Keg to take it and open up the ranch. Learned Epona's Song which is kinda redundant because he started the game with the horse so he should have known it already? Saved the cows and got my next bottle with milk in it! I also visited the small ranch and won the race to get a mysterious mask dealing with something called the Ikana? Weird thing. I was going to try and get the gold dust again but by the time I had defeated Goht (AGAIN) I wasn't going to be able to run back and get ANOTHER hundred Rupees to get a powder keg and do the Goron Races again.

Clearly one of my more frustrating sessions since a lot of trial and error, this being the farthest I've ever gone into the game.

So for next time:
Gold dust for sword
Entering Termina Bay
(possibly?) Big Bomb Bag

Not related to this fully but thought you might get a kick out of it.
