This game is constantly getting compared to OOT, and with the reviews that I watch and read of this game lots of people say that this game is just Ocarina Of Time but not as good, and I don't think that that is fair because ocarina of time is constantly considered the best game of all time. Majora's Mask is still my favorite game of all time for a few reasons.
Majora's mask holds a place deep in my heart for a few reasons, for one the NPC's actually have lives you can figure out their schedules, and a lot of them play an important part of a side quest. Most people hate the 3-day cycle but me I personally love it, It taught me how to manage my time in real life, and doing it in the game is actually really fun. In the end though all the people who you have made bonds with will eventually forget because you have to set time back in order to save everyone.
The dungeons of this game are all AMAZING as well, I love the fairy aspect of them, and each of them have at least 2 mini bosses, sure some of them are the same, but cut nintendo some slack, they made my favorite video game of all time in a single year. All the bosses are great accept for the Gyorg, that one sucks, but Odowla of the Woodfall Temple is probably my favorite boss of all time because you are supposed to switch to deku link to shoot deku nuts on his head, but fighting him as normal link just gives the boss that much more to make him my favorite boss since it is unclear how to beat him, it is like you are actually having a real fight with a Myan war god, not to mention Ghot fof the Snowhead Temple, my second favorite boss fight because of the goron mask and chasing him down is nothing like I have ever done before. Twinmold of the stone tower temple is just as amazing as Ghot. The dungeons that come before the bosses are just as good, with the Stone Tower Temple being my favorite zelda dungeon EVER because they somehow made a dungeon that works by having HALF of it be in the same rooms but on the ceiling, and it works amazingly good.
Im sure that if you have read into my review this far you may a noticed a lot of favorites, and it is because this game is just soooooo good, even though this game came out about 6 years before I was born. Dont get me wrong, I love OOT, but Majoras Mask just does the NPC's, Dungeons, main villan, and side quests way better than OOT
