Something about the way anju calmly sits in that dark room with hours left and the way they stay there together is just haunting. This game is a work of art
@@LordMalice6d9 I love doing both the Romani Ranch and Anju & Kafei quests all in one great cycle. It's difficult, but I think these two sidequests (combined) create a more compelling story than the *Main Quest* of most other Zelda games. Which is a real testament to just how God tier MM is
This cutscene makes me cry every time I do this quest, it's because I have sympathy and empathy for these guys, and I can't even imagine dying like that.
Well, if you cleared all 4 temples, then they don't have to die on their wedding. You have enough time to run from the hotel to the clock tower and confront the skull kid.
"Please take refuge...we are fine here" The first time I played this game, I wished I had this sentence. In the French version of the game, Kafei and Anju say: "Come with us. It is a good refuge here. We are good there." So I waited until the end of the counter with them like an idiot and the moon fell on us... Without saving of course.
When they said they'll shall greet the morning together, it's sort of romantic but not for long. Once Link plays the Song of Time again, it's back to suffering and sorrow all over again.
Usually what I do, I complete the Romani ranch quest and the Katie and Anju quest at the same time. I make sure to not have the Romanis mask circus leaders mask nor couples mask nor postman’s hat. I gather those and then beat the final boss. I truly felt like I helped others.
The soundtrack has a lot to do with it and also because you invest 3 days into these two characters' development, so you see how everything unfolds to this last moment.
Whenever discussions of "Which game is better? Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask?" come up, I point to the biggest sidequests in either game. In OoT, it's a massive line of traded items. In MM...you save a marriage. You work to get two lovers back together. That sums up the difference between both games. OoT is the big picture, with you saving the world. MM is all the finer details of that picture, with you saving individual people. For me, the latter is so much more personally fulfilling than the former.
The citizens of clock town made me determined to complete this game! I was not going to let Pamela not enjoy time with her father. I was not going to let Anju or Kafei not be together. I absolutely love this game
There's a theory about the song of time in this game. That instead of returning to the original start of the three days, you're actually abandoning a timeline to it's doom and entering a new one every time you play the song. Imagine that, Anju and Kafei reunited mere hours before the world ends. I imagine that the curse breaks, and Kafei assumes his adult form. The reunited couple go to the fair grounds in the town square, exchange their vows, and dance together until the moon comes crashing down. I can picture it every time I listen to "lover's mask" by Theophany.
Neutral ending: You beat the sidequest! But you have to play the song of time and go back to the first day and not save termina after that.. Good Ending: You beat the sidequest! Then you went to the moon and beat the final boss so Anju and Kafei could live happily! Bad ending: You forgot to give Anju the pendant and once Kafei came she was not there.. Trapped ending: You let the sun's mask fall! Best ending: You completed Romani's ranch and Anju and Kafei sidequest at the same time and defeated the final boss right after! Worst ending: You beat the sidequest but you did not play the song of time on time and the moon fell!
The fact that she held onto hope for Kafei to return despite him avoiding her for the longest time from what Skull kid aka Majora did to him is wholesome just shows she trusts Kafei
@@mr.awesome6011 I could use one right about now…Cars been shit lately, and just bought 4 new tires a week ago and now the brakes need replaced…It’s stressing me out
Link: wow such a happy couple....I really should go kick Majoras ass and save this town for them to have their wedding ...... NAAAAAHHHHHHH *plays the song of time*
Anyone else think that its strange that they basically give the player there wedding ring at the end of this quest. I get its video game logic but like.
I remember when I was a kid playing this game I was so sad at this part cause I couldn’t save them, I had to travel back into the past cause I wasn’t strong enough. I made sure the next time I wasn’t traveling back into the past I was gonna beat the sh$t out of that demonic mask
This ending potentially has a great follow up, link immediately going to face skull kid. Like maybe he finds the final act of reason that he needs to end this all, here and now. To ensure that Kafei and anju have a future.
I don't agree. I think a plot device of Majora's Mask is to overwhelm us with how much grief everyone is experiencing in those 3 days. To make an ending off these two characters minimizes the problems the rest of the minor cast has.
@sandalssuck Actually you can. Slow down time and walk up the stairs to where you face Skull Kid. No matter how close to doomsday. You're given 5 minutes of real time to summon the Giants and stop the moon. So it is possible
You don't even need the deku flower since you're not stuck in deku form and can climb up a small ramp on the side of the clock tower to reach the upper door
People are so insanely obsessed with age these days I feel like this game would be cancelled for Kafei being temporarily cursed and turned into a child...
The dialogue isn't that good when you think about it. (Anju hasn't seen her fiance in months and during her final hours before the destruction of the world, her faith in him comes true and he returns to her.) Anju: What a familiar scent. (A better line would have been "Kafei...is it r-really you?" or "I know that face...it's the one I fell in love with...when I was a little girl.".)
Honestly what I like more about the scene is what is unsaid, I agree, the dialogue is sorta whatever, but all the tension, the fact she waited there instead of trying to escape
The fact that Anju went from an uninteresting chicken keeper in OOT to one of the most impactful characters in MM....
Kafei ind OOT has dead? Anju is widow in OOT
Something about the way anju calmly sits in that dark room with hours left and the way they stay there together is just haunting.
This game is a work of art
Kafei+Anju: *embracing for the final time before their lives end*
Link: 👁️🐰👁️
he usin da sharingan
This is why you do this quest right before you go to the moon.
@@mr.awesome6011 Yeah. Now a days now that I know the game and story better.
I save this quest for last right before facing Majora.
Also Link: OK LETS PLAY THE RESTART SONG SO WE CAN RUIN THIS ALL!

The music that plays in this cutscene will getcha like that.
@@MichaelTrinh fr tho
At least they die in each other's arms.
Well, if you cleared all 4 temples, then they don't have to die on their wedding. You have enough time to run from the hotel to the clock tower and confront the skull kid.
You can do this quest when you can summon all 4 giant, i've done this way to save them...

You got played, welcome to Hawthorne!!!

For them maybe... But for us, we got the Couple's Mask teeheeheee yatta

@Hamonion I wonder if anyone's ever purposefully let the moon crash after that cutscene
Kafei/Anju:"Please take refuge...we are fine here, we will greet the morning together".
Link with Fierce Deity mask: "Brb, i'll bring it."
This was the first time a cutscene ever made me feel an emotion I couldn't describe. It feels so intimate and personal. It felt important.
The soundtrack has a lot to do with it and also because you invest 3 days into these two characters' development, so you see how everything unfolds to this last moment.
This is one of the most rewarding side quests I've ever done but I do find it odd that Anju doesn't even ask why her fiance is now a 10-year-old boy.
Because at that moment it doesn't matter. There's a reason he ran away, and they're about to experience their last moments together.

And then there's Cremia. Fucking hell, I still cry whenever I complete that sidequest. Every single time, no matter how old I get...
We shall greet the morning together.
I'm crying rn.

I 100% believe in this theory as this is the same logic that led to the existence of the adult timeline
I knew it! So the author of Higurashi When They Cry plagiarized Majora's Mask all along.
i don't believe in that theory. it just invalidates all of link's struggles imo, since he's then left dozens of timelines to die.
maybe its different because zelda is the sage of time
When I first finished this quest and I was forced to reset time I was like "I’M GOING TO DO IT AGAIN AND MAKE MAJORA PAYS "
"Please take refuge"
*leaves to a new timeline*
Neutral ending: You beat the sidequest! But you have to play the song of time and go back to the first day and not save termina after that..
Good Ending: You beat the sidequest! Then you went to the moon and beat the final boss so Anju and Kafei could live happily!
Bad ending: You forgot to give Anju the pendant and once Kafei came she was not there..
Trapped ending: You let the sun's mask fall!
Best ending: You completed Romani's ranch and Anju and Kafei sidequest at the same time and defeated the final boss right after!
Worst ending: You beat the sidequest but you did not play the song of time on time and the moon fell!
Damn that’s some freudian stuff. The fact that we were ten year old boys when we played this game is crazy. This quest hit even harder.
"Please take refuge...we are fine here"
Me: No but No I stay. We all die together
Link: *THIS AINT HAPPENING*
plays song of time
The fact that she held onto hope for Kafei to return despite him avoiding her for the longest time from what Skull kid aka Majora did to him is wholesome just shows she trusts Kafei
Why does Tatl have to completely ruin the moment at 1:12
Link: "Aw..."
Tatl: "Bro he's her loli husband."
Link: "..."
Anju: "..."
Kafe: "..."
Tatl: "..."
Girls: "Boys only want one thing and it's focking disgusting"
Boys: 1:03
A hug?

If only I knew at the time, my passionate relationship with that Russian woman at that moment was divine love.
Aju + kafei felizes
eu:tocando a canção do tempo

This was heartbreaking.
Creo que podría ver esta escena sin llorar hoy a mis 28 años.... Falle.

@@MichaelTrinh I get that.
Can you do this quest and still defeat Majora in the same cycle?
No, it takes all 3 days.
@sandalssuck Actually you can. Slow down time and walk up the stairs to where you face Skull Kid. No matter how close to doomsday. You're given 5 minutes of real time to summon the Giants and stop the moon. So it is possible
You don't even need the deku flower since you're not stuck in deku form and can climb up a small ramp on the side of the clock tower to reach the upper door
You can. There is enough time to make it to the clock tower and call the giants.
I did.
What's the track playing at 1:03 called?
Tatl and Tael Meet Again
@@MichaelTrinh thank you!
Why does Anju's mother look so much like KYLE'S MOTHER?
I Wonder What It Had Been Like If It Looked Realistic And It Would Be An Open World And If It Looked Simlar To RDR1 And RDR2
Then it wouldn't be Majora's Mask. Graphics aren't everything.
Tsk tsk, should have beaten the skull kid after this, their love would have been forever, but you ruined it eith the song of time
Why she marry a kid
Because it's her last day and she'll settle for anything.
Because her fiance was originally a young man but he got turned into a child by the evil magic of the skull kid.
anju is a pedophile
He's actually a short adult.
The kid used to be a man but majoras mask made him a kid
People are so insanely obsessed with age these days I feel like this game would be cancelled for Kafei being temporarily cursed and turned into a child...
There's not enough LGBT representation in this game!
You could argue that he's just a short adult.
@@kaizoisevil A VERY young adult.
Now invert the roles and the world will go crazy and cancel this game.
Lol so true. Friggin fmcels
Didn't it happened already with the zora and the hylian?
@@JepMZ they were both same age group across the two time periods
The dialogue isn't that good when you think about it.

Anju:
What a familiar scent.
(A better line would have been "Kafei...is it r-really you?" or "I know that face...it's the one I fell in love with...when I was a little girl.".)
Yeah but I think this storyline transcends the dialogue. Never seen anything like this in a game before
Your version is too stereotypical
your version is like a hundred times shittier
Honestly what I like more about the scene is what is unsaid, I agree, the dialogue is sorta whatever, but all the tension, the fact she waited there instead of trying to escape
