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

[magus113]

And welcome back to another GT: Let's Play! The cheesy logo returns!



This month, we'll be tackling another Zelda favorite (or Zelda's black sheep to some): Majora's Mask!



This was our next adventure by popular demand so once again here are the rules!

Instructions

- Obviously, you'll need a copy of the game! Whether it be the original N64 cart,
the Wii VC version, or the GameCube special edition disc. If you own a copy of the game, then emulation
is always an option since you can provide screen caps of your journey if you choose.
(REMINDER: ROMs are illegal if you do not own the game so PLEASE do not emulate unless you own the game you're emulating!)
- Make notes of anything and everything! Part of the fun of Zelda games is their tendencies
to be linear and non-linear at the same time. So if you took the extra step to get a heart
piece or make yourself rich by killing baddies, or whatever it wouldn't hurt to show how
your playthrough was unique for you!
- GT's servers can only handle so much (and this is me assuming because I don't really know),
so if you're going to use attachments, please use them sparingly. If you want to upload a lot
of pics, try using a Photobucket account or something, and to lower the quality or size of the
picture to make the pages load faster if possible.
- I'm going to try making notes throughout playtime about how my runthrough went, since it'll be
good to not jump ahead of everyone else. I think this effort would work much better if we all posted
our collective summaries at the end of the week to compare. But to each their own, I can't order anyone
around.
- This is not a race. I'm trying to give enough time for everyone to move at their own pace, and
also give time for other things as well. We all have social lives (except for BaB).
- Have fun! This is a classic that should be enjoyed as much as possible for years to come!

The GT Let's Play of Majora's Mask has begun!
The first milestone is completion on Snowfall Temple by Friday the 18th!
The second milestone is completion of the Great Bay Temple by Fridady the 25th!
October 2 is the deadline for completion of the game!

Let's all hold hands for this one, I have actually started this one, but the time concept was a bit daunting so think will be needing tons of help with this

[ZebraRampage]

I would join in, but I don't have my N64 at school, and I don't feel like buying it on the virtual console if I already own the game.

[Vampyr]

I might be a little late starting - I'm trying to finish twilight princess first. I should be able to start in time to beat it, though.

[Typhoid]

If I had the game, I'd do it.

[Swan]

Not going to partake in this one but I thought of a cool game to play for one of these later on.


Shadow of the Colossus.

A great game. It's been awhile since I have dusted off my PS2 and this would be the perfect opportunity.

And if you have not played it yet then you really should

[Angrist]

I'm in on this one. Looking forward to it!

That's actually a pretty good idea. It would be nice if we could do a Ico/Shadow of the Colossus thing for one month but Ico is hard to find if you don't have it already and it doesn't come cheap. My copy cost me 50 bucks on eBay! Or was it Half.com?

Posting for bump and update with first milestone.

[TheSlyMoogle]

I'll join these MMask Shennanigans.

My friend Josh and I played this game together back in the day when we were in high school. We got all the masks and even the great fairy sword. It was a really fun time and Game. I'm starting here in a minute.

[TheSlyMoogle]

Today I started the game. Here are some photos from the start of my Journey:



I just started there's my name!



LINK HE COME TO SAVE! COME TO SAVE THE PRINCESS ZELDA! Wait... Not in this game.



Sometimes link does this little flip in when he jumps in this game. I forgot about that.



THE SKULL KID!



NOT EPONA! NOOOOOO!



Piss! He turned me into a deku scrub... Link is not happy at his water reflection.



This is not Navi, but she'll do for now.



This man says he can help me get back to normal.







This game is played over the span of 3 "In game days" which works out to roughly two hours real time. At the end of the 3rd day something bad will happen, where the moon slams into the earth! WTF?!

So anyway this fairy says "Go find the great fairy, you don't even have 3 days now" So I set off to find the great fairy.





Along the way I run into everyone's favorite middle-aged elf. Tingle! TINGLE TINGLE Kooloo Limpah! These are tingles magic words he made up, don't steal them.





I make it to dat Fairy fountain, turns out the fairy is all split up into pieces. And yeah, skull kid did it.



After I found the missing chunk of great fairy she turned back to normal. Turns out she's a french whore. She loves me.



She gives me the power of magic and stuff, makes me feel all better. Tells me to talk to the guy at the observatory. Turns out there's this gang of kids blocking the way to the observatory though, and they're little jerks. So I have to pop this balloon with my new found bubble ability, and then play hide and seek. Not fun.



Finally I catch them all, and they tell me their secret code. I make it to the observatory and the old man there tells me to look through the telescope at the clock tower!





What is that shit really? Gonna have to mess up a skull kid. Turns out the clock tower only opens up on the eve of the carnival every year. Pretty lucky that the eve of the carnival is midnight of the 3rd day, huh? Yeah... So now I wait until midnight on day 3. Lol.




Found him








So I get my ocarina back, remember the song of time, and blast my way back into the past to find myself some powers of ass-kickery. Maybe a better sword, a bigger bag for rupees, who knows what I'll find on my journey? All I know is that I will be messing skull kid up for this shit. So anyway I play the song of time and GTFO and save. I'll play some more tomorrow.

[BreakABone]

Time and I shall be interesting friends, pretty much flunked the first ending, but was able to rush through everything again.

Now in Termina Field going to the swamp.

[TheSlyMoogle]

the song of double time and the song of backwards time shall be your friends BaB.

Song of double time = c right, c right, a, a, c down, c down. This will speed the rate of time up.

Song of backwards time is obvious but = c down, a, c right, c down, a, c right. This will slow down time significantly.

HAX that the game gives you for free. You learn about both by talking to some people. I don't remember which peoples though.

[Vampyr]

I think that the scarecrow who lives in the tunnel area leading to the observatory mentions how to play those songs, but you don't even need to talk to him.

[magus113]

Yeah you can know how to do them from the start. Inverted some of time really REALLY helps though.
