I was terrified of the moon, as well, but once you get the ocarina, at least you can turn back time whenever you need. But, it still took some time to get comfortable with the game so that the moon didn’t stress me out so much anymore. Except, when you beat the game, you must wait until just before the moon falls to reach the final boss. And I’ll admit, that it still pretty stressful.

Yes, indeed. This series is over 25 years old now, so sometimes they just have to do something different. I have not played “A Link Between Worlds”, but I at least know how successful their attempts at making “MM” unique were, so it would be great to see what other new things they can do with the series in the future. Maybe they’ll finally make a game that can compete with “MM”, if that’s even possible.

This was a really great post, and oh how it made me want to play the game again! (I swear, I really have to someday because I don’t remember hardly any of it.) I do remember being a stressed out by the whole three-days thing; like, I just never seemed to manage my time properly. I was so worried about that moon that I think it overtook any fun I got out of the game the first time through (it did fall during that first playthough — pretty grim).

Majora’s Mask broke the Zelda mold in every way that it needed to set itself apart, while still remaining a Zelda game. Something that we didn’t see again until last year’s release of A Link Between Worlds. Nintendo took a risk with both of these games by changing up the formula in some way. I think the series would see a renewed surge in popularity if they kept finding ways to do that. Excellent post. Excellent points made by the Duck!
