I'm still amazed the game was made in only a year. Even with reused assets its still got a lot of new art, a new soundtrack, a compelling and complex story and really tight gameplay and dungeon design. Incredible.
SirChocula Yeah, I wish they would do more of them. If I had the money, I would by the site and invest in the improvement of site. I see no reason why Gametrailers isn't more or as popular as other gaming sites. GT is easily one of the best.
When I was playing Majora's Mask, I was only 15 minutes in the game but instantaneously I feel the connection to Termina... Great video for a great game... At least you guys weren't complaining about some water issue unlike some game channel I know~ LoL
Kafei doesn't run ashamed of it's new child form. In the third day of the quest kafei talks to you about this runaway. he tells that he doesn't care about being in a child's body, but that the sun mask that was going to be a weding present had been stolen. :) When you retrieve the mask and go back to anju when the moon is about to fall there's a beautiful reunion and they give you the weding mask, telling that they don't care about each other's shapes, and that they will wait til morning right there. Beautiful story. ^_^
Well said, even though Ocarina of time was my favorite of the series, I have to go credit we're credit is due they we're able to come with something as great as Majoras Mask in such a short timeframe was pure dedication on their part although one has has to wonder how great it would have been if they weren't in such a rush?
Great first new Viddy Gametrailers! I will keep watching this new format if the Bite sized chunks makes it easier for you to get the job done. Hope you return to the Diablo retrospective one day, but yeah if this means Retrospectives live on (the thing that attracted me to GT in the first place) thats cool in my book. Keep Up the Great content! :)
Mikau is pretty hardcore to pick himself up after being mortally wounded just so he can finish with one last epic 2 minute opus before passing. Going out like Micky Rourk in The Wrestler. In the words of the late, great Mikau, "Oh! Baby! Oh, baby!" Inspiring.
Personally I think the reused assets help add to the eerie atmosphere. They're people who you think you know, but they're completely different and it really messes with your brain.
"Nimbly swimming across the Great Bay as a Zora is equally exhilarating. It's so enjoyable in fact that it's easy to forget about your goal and get swept up in repeated dolphin dives." Thank god that Chateau Romani exists or else this would be completely lost in the 3DS remake. If only they let you toggle between the two speeds without consuming magic, that way no one would complain and everyone would be happy.
The new Zora swimming is much more slow and precise now so you can't swim like you used to without using the electric shield attack which now also acts like the old, fast swimming.
VN Reader That's pretty bad. I can't stand it when game developers actually change a game with its remaster. That's not the way to go about a bloody remaster!
They've changed a few things for MM3D, that and its stupid ice arrows change are the two that annoy the most. The rest of the changes are things I don't actually mind and some I even welcome. But I don't know why they changed so much when they decided to keep OOT3D and Star Fox 64 3D the same as before essentially. I'll get over it and still love the 3DS version, probably more so but small things like that will make me miss the original somewhat. Now I except to be called "nostalgia blinded" for not loving all changes. Apparently that's the only explanation if you don't love every single change because the Internet can't understand preferences.
Was pretty close actually. They just flipped it this time, got an 8.7. Pretty much 99% of everything was really positive. But what was the negative you may ask? The Great Bay Temple. That's just them getting away with saying too much water again.
well ocarina of time is a good example of having extreme popularity but not actually being the best zelda game. its great but its over praised in many instances as majora's mask is under praised. majora's mask had less temples but there temples with the time struggles and the set up was much more challenging. i beat ocarina of time in much less time then majora's mask. the temples of majora's mask was amazing and the game is a masterpiece. majora's mask is a better game. people may disagree and all to you, you got different taste. but really i can go on and on and on about why i see it this way. why majora's mask is better. the feeling, the set up of time and everything else. its more well put together. it looks like because of the one year they had to make the game, they decided to go all out on the game due to that.
kiz epic journey majora's mask is a hundred times better then ocarina of time and you insulting it just means you have terrible taste in video games nothing more. not really anything for me to be upset in what you said, its just inaccurate bias opinion, really not my fault you have shitty opinions.
I LOVE the Zelda series. I love every Zelda except MM, ST, and PH. 1st reason: Repetition. This should NOT be in any Zelda game. 2nd: Lackluster temple design. Eh, I don't like it 3rd: Last but NOT least the TIME MECHANIC!!! WHY DOES THIS EXIST?!? THIS COMPLETELY TAKES THE FEELING OF EXPLORATION AND THROWS IT OUT THE WINDOW!!! I CAN'T EXPLORE WITH A TIMEBOMB ON MY BACK!!! Sorry, you Majora's Mask fanboys but this game gets a 4/10
Ah brings back wonderful memorise. This is a true classic . An this video does a wonderful job talking about this at length. This is a awesome game . An as for the people that don't like it . I have found most of there issues lye in them trying to rush it or not understand whats going on . I shared this video on Twitter My Twitter handle is @Wolffoetowtech
what do you mean by rushing it or not understanding? I mean...I dunno about all of that. I feel like I have no choice but to rush through dungeons which sucks honestly lol especially trying to collect the stray fairies to dungeons I feel are meant for you the player to take your time
+Girthquake42 They did. They are called Easy Allies. They have a patreon, youtube, and twitch. They already have over 4k patrons and are over 35,000$ per month. They are doing reviews, retrospectives, 2 podcasts, original shows and more. They are all together again!
Seemed to me like the narrator was referring to the franchise (Zelda) and not the character (Link). The Zelda franchise has dabbled in transformations before.
7:24 That was always my main problem. To be fair Zora link did look something like Mikau but didn't the Gorons realize Darmani looked totally different. Didn't the other characters act differently? It's like in Texas Chainsaw Massacre when leatherface chases the girl wearing her boyfriend's face
Shadzing Ink No, you don't understand. When it says "Zelda has dabbled in transformations before" it's talking about the Zelda series, as in A Link to the Past when you transform into rabbit Link.
Are you ABSOLUTELY sure Ura Zelda was supposed to just be master quest? From EVERY other video I've seen on the subject, it was going to be more than a simple expansion/reworking
Ocarina of Time was going to be much bigger and have permanent changes when you do stuff like cut down a tree or destroy a stone but they couldn't do it on a cartridge so it was moved to an expansion pack on the DD but the DD failed so they gave up and just made master quest. Other ideas where moved to Majora
Ian White Nah. Ura Zelda was planned to be much more than what it is. It was planned to be a continuation of the story and gameplay from OoT. Not just an editing of the temples.
Majora's Mask still stands as my favorite Zelda.
Agreed!!!
Favourite game period
Still is!
I'm still amazed the game was made in only a year. Even with reused assets its still got a lot of new art, a new soundtrack, a compelling and complex story and really tight gameplay and dungeon design. Incredible.
It also has the best zelda dungeon (in my opinion), the Stone Tower.
18 months made one of the greatest games of all time
+andromidius Also has the best dungeons in the series (imo)
Passionate, informative and descriptive writing from Ben Moore. He's one of the best we've got.
Aaw Elyse :-P
Definitely a good job.
I hear he's well endowed, too.
Majora's mask is my favorite Zelda game
David Torres same
This is my favorite zelda by far
I absolutely love gametrailer's dialogue in their videos, the writing is fantastic!
Same.
You hit the nail on the head
SirChocula Yeah, I wish they would do more of them. If I had the money, I would by the site and invest in the improvement of site. I see no reason why Gametrailers isn't more or as popular as other gaming sites. GT is easily one of the best.
+SirChocula Their narrator is really damn good too. Easy to listen, very articulate.
This game is a 10/10 to me. Lol, I love Great Bay Temple.
When I was playing Majora's Mask, I was only 15 minutes in the game but instantaneously I feel the connection to Termina... Great video for a great game... At least you guys weren't complaining about some water issue unlike some game channel I know~ LoL
which one? also what water issue?
Majora's Mask has a special place in the childhood part of my heart
Kafei doesn't run ashamed of it's new child form. In the third day of the quest kafei talks to you about this runaway. he tells that he doesn't care about being in a child's body, but that the sun mask that was going to be a weding present had been stolen. :)
When you retrieve the mask and go back to anju when the moon is about to fall there's a beautiful reunion and they give you the weding mask, telling that they don't care about each other's shapes, and that they will wait til morning right there.
Beautiful story. ^_^
Love Majora's Mask.
I had never been so emotionally invested in a story and characters that Majora’s had. It’s my favorite 3D Zelda game.
I love Majora's Mask, the world was such a pleasure to explore. Lol, do I hear and see Demon's Souls?
Astral Observatory has to be one of my favorite songs (and locations) in all of Zelda.
This was amazing. Im glad to see a major platform giving props to a game i hold dear
Miyamoto: You have one year.
Aonuma: Challenge accepted.
How could anyone dislike this? Jeez...what assholes. This is fantastic!
Well said, even though Ocarina of time was my favorite of the series, I have to go credit we're credit is due they we're able to come with something as great as Majoras Mask in such a short timeframe was pure dedication on their part although one has has to wonder how great it would have been if they weren't in such a rush?

Keep Up the Great content! :)
Great Bay Temple- 8.7 IGN
7.8
This is, in my opinion, the greatest of the Zelda games, just so different (discounting character models), my favorite by far.
Mikau is pretty hardcore to pick himself up after being mortally wounded just so he can finish with one last epic 2 minute opus before passing. Going out like Micky Rourk in The Wrestler. In the words of the late, great Mikau, "Oh! Baby! Oh, baby!" Inspiring.
My favorite Zelda.
MaxxSkywalker My least favorite Zelda
So, why are you here?
I've never played the game but that lovers story sounds Fn tragic
I want to see a remastered version of this.
The game got remastered for the 3ds, unless you're talking about the review. (Yes, i know this is a 2 year old comment.)
Personally I think the reused assets help add to the eerie atmosphere. They're people who you think you know, but they're completely different and it really messes with your brain.
Is this the same guy doing the voiceover in Easy Allies channel? I love his reviews. It's very informative! :)
if majoras mask had twice the content it would be game of the century
TheCityofGod Nah. I despise Majora's Mask
It already is
majora's mask is better than ocarina in my opinion
i agree honestly
Same
I kinda have to agree.
I love this game to death. Love the dark and creepy atmosphere.
"Nimbly swimming across the Great Bay as a Zora is equally exhilarating. It's so enjoyable in fact that it's easy to forget about your goal and get swept up in repeated dolphin dives."
Thank god that Chateau Romani exists or else this would be completely lost in the 3DS remake. If only they let you toggle between the two speeds without consuming magic, that way no one would complain and everyone would be happy.
Why would it be lost?
The new Zora swimming is much more slow and precise now so you can't swim like you used to without using the electric shield attack which now also acts like the old, fast swimming.

Pff don't even worry about it man. Stick to your opinion, I for one agree with you.
Majora's Mask is a dark, bizarre, and creepy game, but it also beautiful, imaginative, and brilliant.😨😊👏
Nice video, guys!
I love majora's mask is my favorite game. Ign: 7.8 too many mask
Was pretty close actually. They just flipped it this time, got an 8.7. Pretty much 99% of everything was really positive. But what was the negative you may ask? The Great Bay Temple. That's just them getting away with saying too much water again.
To their credit, they still loved the game! The score isn't that important...
***** I hate it SOO much. I would give it a 4/10
Yep, this is exactly why Majora's Mask is my favorite game of all time.
Great video
that demon souls teaser at the end (btw what song is that?)
Isn't it just the Demon's Souls theme?
I miss my friends
well ocarina of time is a good example of having extreme popularity but not actually being the best zelda game. its great but its over praised in many instances as majora's mask is under praised. majora's mask had less temples but there temples with the time struggles and the set up was much more challenging. i beat ocarina of time in much less time then majora's mask. the temples of majora's mask was amazing and the game is a masterpiece. majora's mask is a better game.

LazerbotAndEmbergrams LegendaryProjects Screw Majora's Mask. Everything I would wish to not be in Zelda is in this TERRIBLE "game".

all opinions here, doesn't mean yours means anything.
Why do you like this "game" besides it's creepy atmosphere and nostalgia?
I couldn't tell if that was Dark Souls (Demons Souls) or FFXI at the end....I mean, that did sound like a Nobuo Uematsu hymn being sung. Anyone know??
It's composed by Shunsuke Kida. Pretty eerie and ominous. I like it though.
Ah brings back wonderful memorise.
This is a true classic .
An this video does a wonderful job talking about this at length.
This is a awesome game .
An as for the people that don't like it .
I have found most of there issues lye in them trying to rush it or not understand whats going on .

Excellent work!
Great video! You guys doing Demon's Souls next?
Why couldnt they put up a patreon or something? :( RIP Gametrailers
+Girthquake42 They did. They are called Easy Allies. They have a patreon, youtube, and twitch. They already have over 4k patrons and are over 35,000$ per month. They are doing reviews, retrospectives, 2 podcasts, original shows and more. They are all together again!
+nyzmikey thanks for letting me know. donating $5 a month. i can't wait to see more Bosman
We still need a Pokemon Retrospective!
6:37
Oops, he meant "Link". Clearly, he was reading a script, and didn't know that Link is not Zelda.
Seemed to me like the narrator was referring to the franchise (Zelda) and not the character (Link). The Zelda franchise has dabbled in transformations before.
Nice video inspired by the release of Majora's Mask 3D, good call
Favourite game
best way to play it is the Game cube in my opinion, the 3DS version is just not as good.
I rather play it on N64/VC.
N64 is the best version in my opinion the controls were better
Opening tune?
The music that plays in the observatory
7:24 That was always my main problem. To be fair Zora link did look something like Mikau but didn't the Gorons realize Darmani looked totally different. Didn't the other characters act differently? It's like in Texas Chainsaw Massacre when leatherface chases the girl wearing her boyfriend's face
RIP GameTrailers
Love the retrospectives....but where is Diablo's 3rd installment?!
goddamnit nintendo,just give us majora's mask 2 already
If David Lynch made a Zelda game.
Nah, he talking about the entire series
6:36 Link gets called Zelda. :(
It's talking about the Zelda series not the character Link.
the context imply's he is talking about "Zelda" (Link). we all know he meant Link but still.
Shadzing Ink No, you don't understand. When it says "Zelda has dabbled in transformations before" it's talking about the Zelda series, as in A Link to the Past when you transform into rabbit Link.
Talking about the series
Why is demon souls at the end?
stay tuned :)
Are you ABSOLUTELY sure Ura Zelda was supposed to just be master quest? From EVERY other video I've seen on the subject, it was going to be more than a simple expansion/reworking

Ian White Nah. Ura Zelda was planned to be much more than what it is. It was planned to be a continuation of the story and gameplay from OoT. Not just an editing of the temples.
Written by Ben. Bum bum bummm
LOL! You've met with a terrible fate haven't you?
I thought GT was gonna give their perspective on "Link death theory" on the game :(
Check out the video "link is dead debunked"
Awesome thanks buddy
Um that demons souls theme at the end... Why
What's with the snippets of Demon's Souls at the end there? Boletaria is as meaningful as Termina? Oke..
They're just teasing the next Retrospective
Bum. Bum.
Bum. Bum.
OHHH MAHH GOERSH #demonsouls
Demon's Souls retrospective? Awww yiss...
What is this Dark Souls doing in my Zelda?
that is exactly what I said
It's demon souls
Jorge Torres Whatever.
Finished it in both N64 and 3ds...I still think is overrated.
This game... IT SUCKS!
I don't like this game at ALL.
