# The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask *The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask*, released in April 2000 (Japan) and October 2000 (North America) by Nintendo EAD for the Nintendo 64, is the sixth *Zelda* game and a direct sequel to *Ocarina of Time*. Set in Termina, Link has three days to stop the Moon from crashing, manipulated by the Skull Kid wielding the cursed Majora’s Mask. Featuring a time-loop mechanic, Link uses the Ocarina of Time to reset the three-day cycle, transforming into Deku, Goron, and Zora forms via masks. With 24 masks, four main dungeons, and an open world, it uses the N64 Expansion Pak for enhanced graphics. Its eerie 3D visuals, evocative soundtrack by Koji Kondo, and deep narrative sold over 3 million copies and earned acclaim (*IGN*: 9.9/10, *GameSpot*: 8.3/10) for its unique tone, though some noted its tight time constraints. Re-released on GameCube, 3DS (2015 remake with improved controls), and Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack (2022). ## Why Play The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask? *Majora’s Mask* offers a darker, time-driven *Zelda* experience, with Termina’s interconnected regions (Clock Town, Woodfall, Snowhead, Great Bay, Ikana) and four dungeons packed with puzzles and bosses (e.g., Odolwa, Twinmold). The three-day cycle (72 in-game hours, ~54 minutes real-time) requires strategic planning, with the Song of Time resetting progress while retaining key items. Masks like the Bunny Hood and transformation masks (Deku, Goron, Zora) grant unique abilities (e.g., swimming, rolling). Sidequests, like the Anju-Kafei wedding, deepen NPC stories, with 52 heart pieces and a Bomber’s Notebook tracking schedules. Gameplay lasts 15-25 hours (30-40 for 100% completion), with multiple endings. Its emotional depth, tight controls, and iconic music (e.g., “Song of Healing”) make it a must-play for retro ROM and *Zelda* fans, though the time mechanic and N64’s dated graphics may challenge some. The 3DS remake adds save points and fishing. ## Game Features - Play as Link across Termina with 4 dungeons and a three-day time loop - Use 24 masks: transformation (Deku, Goron, Zora, Fierce Deity) and utility (Bunny Hood, Stone Mask) - Wield sword, shield, and items: Ocarina, Hookshot, Light Arrows - Complete sidequests, collect heart pieces, and track NPCs with Bomber’s Notebook - Battle enemies (Deku Scrubs, Wolfos) and bosses (Goht, Gyorg) - Experience authentic N64 gameplay on our retro ROM platform, 3DS remake, or Switch Online ## Play The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask Online Save Termina today!
