@right_in_the_tockles "why is the kafei questline so cryptic" it's not "why is the sun's mask conveyer belt so punishing" it's not if you aren't stupid
I miss the deku scrubs. You see Zora’s and Goron’s pretty often, but dekus often get shafted when it comes to the races in each game. They’ve basically been replaced by Koroks.
@@wintersong2266 Octorocks started out as, and have mostly stayed land creatures. They only started becoming aquatic in the 3D Zeldas. I know the Koroks evolved from the Kokiri lore-wise, but I'm still certain that they replaced Dekus. Maybe the Kokiri and Deku got combined into a single species?
Thanks to Majora's Mask I've been thinking a lot about all that potential and details that they have. I mean, Termina is some kind of Majora's creation, and in that weird dimension there's a palace and even a school for Scrubs!? They are an intelligent race that seem to be very misunderstood. I'm surprised how they didn't appear in BOTW, especially since it would be great to have Business Scrub over there.
0:46 I personally got scared when she put the mask, not a single move, the mask just pops up there, now we know how the people would react to Link putting the masks on, it's totally unexpected haha
@@Nathidraws its eyes are soulless as his soul is trapped in a new body. The weight of the soul made him shrink back to a small child thanks to Horror kid stealing the soul with the mask. (Not cannon)
@@Nathidraws I think it's supposed to represent a hole, you know, like those mask that have circular holes for you to see despite where they are placed, but adding an actual hole would mean a lot more polygons for the model
Ive played this game over 20 times since I was a child and even to this day there are still interactions i never knew about. The amount of detail that went in to this game is why it is my all time favorite.
When Anju says "I need to be happier, don't I?" with that look on her face...that hits a little too hard, man. When you're going through something tough and it's out of your control--even though it wasn't really your fault and you want to try and fix it, and nothing is exactly going the way you hoped--telling yourself that you 'need to be happy' is kind of like verbally slapping yourself in the face. At least, that's from my perspective. She shouldn't be forcing herself to feel 'happy.' She has that right to feel sad and somewhat defeated (until Link helps) because of what she's been through. This is one reason I adore this game. Because of the little details like this that leave an impact.
@@C_long I'm so sorry that you are! Please, take your time with your emotions, and don't force yourself to feel anything that doesn't feel right in the moment. Process as much as you need to. But don't try to fix everything, and just take things day by day. Find the good in the little things. In time, things will get better, and you may not notice it at first. But you'll get there, I promise. I went through a situation that I shouldn't have blamed myself for and was in no way my fault, but I guilted myself thinking I did something horrible for many months. I blamed myself for losing a 'friend.' I thought it was something I said or did. It wasn't. It was because of that 'friend's' hidden selfish desires that made them decide to toss me aside like I meant nothing after months of 'friendship.' Yes, the pangs of those days long gone still hit me once in a blue. But it's gotten so much better. And I know it will get better way more as I grow and evolve.
@@spring_drain18 it's definitely been a day by day process but like you mentioned things do and will get better I have a couple interviews coming up for good paying jobs which has me very hopeful things are starting to change you can't begin to imagine how much your kindness means to me it makes me feel like I'm not alone when it comes to past experiences and that people out there do care even if it's a random person on a majoras mask video 😂
@@C_long Hey, random acts of kindness have no limit and come in so many forms and it's the best when it's unexpected. I'm happy that my comment can be a sign of hope for you during a trying time in your life! And I wish you all the good luck and vibes for your interviews, it's definitely a tough market out there right now! But you got this. Just don't sell yourself short! I just recently got a wonderful new job myself that I couldn't be more grateful for. It can definitely be a great turning point in life, giving that huge boost that life is turning around for the better. Something will definitely work out!
they ask you how you are, and you just have to say that you're fine, when you're not really fine, but you just can't get into it because they would never understand
To this day I remember how amazed I was when Anju got on that walk on the second day. NPC's having a schedule? Stuff happens without me as the player actively trigger it? The concept was crazy to me. I think Majora's mask might have been the first game to actually do this beyond the extremely basic day and night cycle. Hell a three day cycle like this is still unheard of.
It's more saddening to realize she's basically crying outside of the place of residence, her fiancée, turned child, is currently living at. Being so close, yet so far apart, unaware and basically crying in the rain... They didn't need to hit us this hard...
I totally agree. In this scene I used to ring the bell just to see Kafei come out. I always yelled at him to come to Anju and tell her what happened :(
Two thing to notice on this scene: - Anju is putting a brave face with Deku Link as everyone in Clock Town seem to think of him as a small child (younger thsn Link), so she doesn't want to burden him. - Anju has a Kafei Mask too. Of course she is also looking for him.
This game was deep for its time. As a kid, I never really took into consideration how dark and depressing some things could be in this game, until I got older. 20 years later, this is still one of my favorite video games of all time.
Whenever discussion of whether Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask is the better game, I point to both games' biggest side quests. In OoT, you trade items until you get a sword. In MM, you save a marriage. You get a greater extrinsic reward for the former, but the intrinsic reward for the later is so substantial that it warms my heart every time I do it. Anju and Kafei are probably the best side characters in Zelda history. Anju in particular has so much to her. She feels so real.
And then you reset the time and it is now irrelevant... :/ Actually, you can still save their marriage and get to the moon at the end of the game in time, right?
I find it interesting that she says 1 month. That means when link chased the skull kid somehow between him getting out from chasing him and getting into clock Town there's a weird time discrepancy. It's like weird time shenanigans. Like skull kid ran around Termina for at least a month causing havoc with majoras mask. Somehow skull kid got out from under the clock tower way sooner than link even though it only seemed like a few minutes chasing after him. It's a cool detail imo
IIUC skullkid stole the mask from the mask guy, and then started to louse up Termina a good while prior to his bumping into link. Looting link and shooing away Epona are just the latest in the long line of messes he's made.
@@happmacdonald Oh yeah! I suppose I thought it was just 3 days bc thats when the salesman shows up but he could have just been watching the chaos unfold this whole time and only said something when he saw link
he met Tatl and the other one in Termina field before he had the mask, a long time passed after that and then he was outside of Termina and encountered link
Skull kid is a little scatter brain even before the influence of the mask. I think it would have taken a very long time for him to lock away the giants, poison the swamp, freeze the mountains, polute the water temple and curse the stone tower. Among with all the other random minor mischief he causes around termina. Probably had been going on for longer than a month. It's kind of hard to remember what was already messed up before the mask gained influence over the land. A lot of the side quests problems had already been going on long before skull kid rose to power.
Nintendo went from this, to Wind Waker. Majora's Mask will always be my favorite game. Each character was an individual. Happy moments, sad moments, untimely death. Impending death for everyone. It's the most human Zelda game.
@@jordanlucas7392 I don't think hearing about a tree dying really compares to the entire cast of characters in the process of coming to grips with their own mortality.
@@Tailstraw_xD I know this is a late comment but I think you need to replay Wind Waker. That's not even remotely what the game is about. There are some shallow, overly aggrandized zelda games out there, but Wind Waker was way ahead of its time with the overall message of not clinging to a past you can't go back to, and it gave Ganondorf a depth of character he never had before and hasn't had since. It's a very mature game despite the toon graphics.
@@MoonfallMidnight I never said I disliked Wind Waker. The tone and story beats of that game don't really compare. Wind Waker often has a goofy, comedic thing happen soon after any serious, somber moments happen. The writing was like "Ooh, that sister thing was a bit too serious, let's launch Link out of a catapult and have him make a funny face."
When I was younger I hated this quest line cuz it was just more stuff to go through to get the Fierce Diety's Mask. Now going through this being older I realize it really is a very emotionally charged sidequest. That's not to say all the other sidequests in MM don't have their own level of weight to them, but this one is particular is just very heavy to me.
I used to get scared when she suddenly puts the Kafei mask on and then starts crying. I couldn't read and thought what is her problem and why is this game so scary!
night 2, at 9:30 in the stock pot inn, there is a cutscene. the damaged wall paper in your room lets you spy on a conversation between anju and her mother. anju's mother thinks kafie ran off to be in a relationship with cremia quotes in game romani night 2 if you saved the cows, if you are wearing kafeis mask "romania knows... my sister, cremia has someone in town she likes... but that person will get married the day after the carnival" anjus mom in that cutscene mentioned above "I wonder if kafei is really at cremia's place... if kafei is there, your mother will give him a good smack" but then anju's mom says some messed up stuff. "beside's, think about cremia. she needs stength from a partner and buisness suport from madame aroma. If kafei really has run off with cremia, she'll get both. please don't be sad. how happy could you possibly be marrying a man when he's about to get married? it would just make your life unhappy... just like your mother's"
The way the girl convulses when she cries is so disturbing... It reminds me of the movie "Begotten" in the opening scene, in the "God killing himself" scene.
Its also hits hard if Link doesn't intervene, Kafei still goes to get the mask back, but even if he was able to get it back, without Links help, she gives up and leaves with her family. I'm really happy that you have to do only one chain to get the quest to work out, because if both were their own semi-individual things, it would hurt a lot to complete one half and not have the other show up.
@@elivcdxv1852 that can still happen. If you help Kafei but forgot to complete Anju's side of things, Kafei will arrive at the meeting place and despair to realize she gave up on him. I don't know if there's a way to have her arrive but he doesn't.
@@Kahtisemo Oh, I moreso meant in a manner of them having completely independent side quest that were both required to be completed, rather than the interactions between the two from a distance we get. Like if Anjus side was more based around things that would, without Kafei's own involvement, get her to stick around, meanwhile Kafei's side having to deal with things that would involve more information gathering so he could track Sakon to Ikana Canyon, I'm pretty happy they weren't split quest with a unified ending, because believe me, I've definitely forgotten to give Anju the pendant before, unfortunately. I'm honestly kinda sleep deprived at the moment, but If the side quest were separated with no indication of if everything was right on side A or B, it'd have definitely felt a lot more like intense trial and error on the 64 version,
The quirky nature of this game, her pulling asking if Link recognizes Kafei by just whipping out a mask somehow doesn't ruin the mood. You still feel bad about something troubling her. I chuckle for a second, then I continue to feel sorry for her.
People now days will never know the fascinating experience of watching those NPC characters move in that way, in OoT they where almost statics and now (2000) they interact with their world and have newer dialogues. Loved those days
The lines of this game really reach out in a way that never seems melodramatic. This character is in distress, but you're essentially just passing her by. Her involvement in you quest doesn't happen until later, but for now, she's just sad. The way this game treats the lives of their characters as something that doesn't bend to your will. You need to navigate time to continue different questlines, not just using your ocarina, but thinking of what they're going to be doing throughout the day. Majoras Mask at times feels indifferent to you, the whole time loop aspect doesn't really seem very approachable compared to Ocarina of Time's more straightforward flow. I remember not having the patience to figure out how the game really works when I was younger, but then later had so many different moments with this game. Just like someone in a groundshog day scenario, the people in this game are predictable, just as most NPCs are in most other games. In a way, it's 'video gameyness' just amplifies the intended feeling of knowing something that everyone else doesn't know. The fact it's reusing so many OoT assets also contributes to the strange feeling you get. It's unsettling, and a really powerful game. I love it.
Bro WTF?! I never seen this interaction before! I been watching a lot of Majora's Mask videos lately and I keep finding new interactions. It is crazy to see how much this game had to offer, despite it being rushed!
Maybe I'm misremembering, but I recall that if you start this sidequest like normal, but never meet her in the kitchen at night, she'll still come here the following day. However, she will instead be very cold towards Link for missing the meeting with a different dialogue text altogether. Any way one can check?
There will come a day, when hardship will not go away. When you ache and burn and curse. With no more tears to shed, down this journey life has led. You choose to smile and be happy, because to not would be much worse. Not because you "should". But be happy for your own good. For that's a choice YOU make, and nothing can ever take that from you. ~A poem on hardship, for a tiny corner of the internet. ~By A stranger.
This was the first time I met Anju. I thought she was just some random nice lady. I really wonder what people’s reaction was to her after seeing the cucco lady.
Not only does this give us a timeline of skull kid finding majora mask it also is very sad due to her not seeing Kafei who comes outside at this time as well to get the letter from the postman
Honestly I would feel dfevastated too, if my fiance vanished a few days before the end of the world, nevermind the wedding, and the rumors were that he ran off with my best friend.
I changed my name btw Just thought I’d tell y’all If y’all still look at the comments on this video. Also any name suggestions idk lol Pride wildcat warrior or whatever I had I don’t Like for a name no more 😆 so if y’all can give me any suggestions in the comments That would be great 👍
Have you played the hd textures version, or do you plan do it somewhere in the future?. I personally find the game more good looking with real hardware on a crt (is way more dark, and the purple colors of the final day stand out more) but with the hd textures i cannot deny that it almost gives a new life to this old game for those who do not have real hardware.
I have a recommendation for a 10 hour ambience: in Dragon’s Dogma, there are rooms in the everfall (post dragon) that have the Dark Arisen menu theme on a loop with no vocal backing, so it’s super calm and mellow 😮💨🙏 have a listen, you’ll love it. Hell, a lot of the tracks are ambient
💙Memories I love Anju and Kafei Love scens and Requests there masks the wedding dress in her room, uhhhhhhh i feel like my old self again... thank You!
It's weird that mundane also means "of this earthly world". The characters feel kinda real don't they? Maybe you were expecting something more epic, but for me the way the character's stories unfold is epic. Good stories don't need flashy special effects to be good, sometimes mundane is enough. The moon falling over everyone in 3 days is not mundane, but helping everyone surpass their personal struggles before the 3 days end might be. And that's the whole point of the game.
@@Helladamnleet I mean you are not obligued to like it. Was just sharing my perspective. Modern games have a higher bar to meet in terms on quality and not being rushed, but often do worse in both than MM imo. That might be nostalgia talking but whatever. I like that MM can be played as a big side story, instead of being another grand quest to destroy ganon. And it keeps enough Zelda formula for it to be very enjoyable within the series its put into. It's not supposed to be anything more than a fun side story with rehashed elements of Oot.
her crying animation feels uncomfortably real in the context of the rest of the game
IKR?
Well said.
I was thinking the same thing, it's so.. oddly genuine
the other part where it hits the feels its on ikana cannon in the music box house.
The context of the rest of the game is as real and dark as this part.
These are the kind of details that make Majora's mask so timeless
@right_in_the_tockles Is this your first encounter with the concept of writing?
@right_in_the_tockles What do you mean "apologists"? In what world do you live that requires Majoras Mask to be apologized for?
@right_in_the_tockles No shit. Why would I bother talking with you? I just wanted to point out that your original comment made no sense.
@right_in_the_tockles you like to argue with yourself in the shower don't you?
@right_in_the_tockles "why is the kafei questline so cryptic" it's not
"why is the sun's mask conveyer belt so punishing" it's not if you aren't stupid

I beat the whole entire game -- masks and all -- and never until now saw this conversation 💔 She blamed herself
night 2, at 9:30 in the stock pot inn, there is a cutscene. the damaged wall paper in your room lets you spy on a conversation between anju and her mother. anju's mother thinks kafie ran off to be in a relationship with cremia
quotes in game
romani night 2 if you saved the cows, if you are wearing kafeis mask "romania knows... my sister, cremia has someone in town she likes... but that person will get married the day after the carnival"
anjus mom in that cutscene mentioned above "I wonder if kafei is really at cremia's place... if kafei is there, your mother will give him a good smack" but then anju's mom says some messed up stuff. "beside's, think about cremia. she needs stength from a partner and buisness suport from madame aroma. If kafei really has run off with cremia, she'll get both. please don't be sad. how happy could you possibly be marrying a man when he's about to get married? it would just make your life unhappy... just like your mother's"
0:44 bro the way that mask just spawns on her scared the shit out of me first time I saw it lmao
The way the girl convulses when she cries is so disturbing... It reminds me of the movie "Begotten" in the opening scene, in the "God killing himself" scene.
It really hits hard when you know exactly why she says this. (:'(
I'm not sure why she blames herself...
@@TurlessTiger not alot of other leads, I would guess.
Its also hits hard if Link doesn't intervene, Kafei still goes to get the mask back, but even if he was able to get it back, without Links help, she gives up and leaves with her family.
I'm really happy that you have to do only one chain to get the quest to work out, because if both were their own semi-individual things, it would hurt a lot to complete one half and not have the other show up.
@@elivcdxv1852 that can still happen. If you help Kafei but forgot to complete Anju's side of things, Kafei will arrive at the meeting place and despair to realize she gave up on him. I don't know if there's a way to have her arrive but he doesn't.
@@Kahtisemo Oh, I moreso meant in a manner of them having completely independent side quest that were both required to be completed, rather than the interactions between the two from a distance we get.
Like if Anjus side was more based around things that would, without Kafei's own involvement, get her to stick around, meanwhile Kafei's side having to deal with things that would involve more information gathering so he could track Sakon to Ikana Canyon, I'm pretty happy they weren't split quest with a unified ending, because believe me, I've definitely forgotten to give Anju the pendant before, unfortunately.
I'm honestly kinda sleep deprived at the moment, but If the side quest were separated with no indication of if everything was right on side A or B, it'd have definitely felt a lot more like intense trial and error on the 64 version,
using a quote from another videogame
"Oh Majora, Oh Majora, have mercy on the poor bastards..."
"HeheheehHAHAHAHAHHAHA!"
Ah yes. One of the many MM depression dialogues.
The quirky nature of this game, her pulling asking if Link recognizes Kafei by just whipping out a mask somehow doesn't ruin the mood. You still feel bad about something troubling her. I chuckle for a second, then I continue to feel sorry for her.
People now days will never know the fascinating experience of watching those NPC characters move in that way, in OoT they where almost statics and now (2000) they interact with their world and have newer dialogues.
Loved those days
The lines of this game really reach out in a way that never seems melodramatic.
This character is in distress, but you're essentially just passing her by.
Her involvement in you quest doesn't happen until later, but for now, she's just sad.
The way this game treats the lives of their characters as something that doesn't bend to your will. You need to navigate time to continue different questlines, not just using your ocarina, but thinking of what they're going to be doing throughout the day.
Majoras Mask at times feels indifferent to you, the whole time loop aspect doesn't really seem very approachable compared to Ocarina of Time's more straightforward flow.
I remember not having the patience to figure out how the game really works when I was younger, but then later had so many different moments with this game.
Just like someone in a groundshog day scenario, the people in this game are predictable, just as most NPCs are in most other games. In a way, it's 'video gameyness' just amplifies the intended feeling of knowing something that everyone else doesn't know. The fact it's reusing so many OoT assets also contributes to the strange feeling you get.
It's unsettling, and a really powerful game. I love it.
Bro WTF?! I never seen this interaction before! I been watching a lot of Majora's Mask videos lately and I keep finding new interactions. It is crazy to see how much this game had to offer, despite it being rushed!
Dude, that Kafei mask jumpscared me.
Maybe I'm misremembering, but I recall that if you start this sidequest like normal, but never meet her in the kitchen at night, she'll still come here the following day. However, she will instead be very cold towards Link for missing the meeting with a different dialogue text altogether. Any way one can check?
no way i might test that soon
she just says the same thing
Seeing her cry makes me wanna hug her.
"I need to be happier, don't I?"
majoras mask is the best zelda game hands down, I have so much nostalgic love for it ❤
I still remember when I asked you to do the ambience video of this, still one of my favorite scenes in any game.
Imagine being called a scrub by the video game
Started raining after watching this
It'd be nice if we all could just afford to be a little happier
There will come a day, when hardship will not go away. When you ache and burn and curse.
With no more tears to shed, down this journey life has led. You choose to smile and be happy, because to not would be much worse.
Not because you "should". But be happy for your own good. For that's a choice YOU make, and nothing can ever take that from you.

Oh, I just found this cutscene yesterday. Nice to see it here now! :D
I came here expecting deku scrub facts and got feels instead :(
And Kafei is on the other side of that door across the stream. Not even 30 feet away from her.
any fan of majoras mask is a friend of mine. keep it up.
That’s what I’m talking about
From soldier to match maker. I feel sorry for link.
This is what Anju does during Day 2, if she doesn't receive a letter from Kafei.
The clock town music is so inappropriate during moments like this XD
This game is such a masterpiece.
It rain yesterday, seeing her cry all alone is so sad.
I was too small to understand what was happening in this game.
Oh god that beginning hit hard
This game's tone was intense.
0:46 Chat lobbies when the game hands out a free skin be like
This was the first time I met Anju. I thought she was just some random nice lady.
I really wonder what people’s reaction was to her after seeing the cucco lady.
This game is nothing short of master piece. They really didn't skimp on the little moments
She can't tell the difference between a child deku scrub to grown up deku scrub
Well if you were a walking tree you'd probably like water too.
I've played this game a million times. I don't remember seeing her cry like that. Or even wear his mask
Wow, for all the times I've played this game, I never saw this. Really makes when you deliver his pendant to her hit even harder.
IMPOSSIBLE someone must've beat the game for you then, tf
Woaa, been playing it since realeased and never came across this scene with Link.
Not only does this give us a timeline of skull kid finding majora mask it also is very sad due to her not seeing Kafei who comes outside at this time as well to get the letter from the postman
Honestly I would feel dfevastated too, if my fiance vanished a few days before the end of the world, nevermind the wedding, and the rumors were that he ran off with my best friend.
When is it that Anju says that Cremia is jealous? or is it Cremia that says she is jealous of Anju?
Cool
Is it me or does Link look huge here? His head is nearly twice the size of Anju's
But what happens if you put the Kafei mask on and speak with her there?
0:24
God damn Anju, way to be a racist.
Not every Deku Scrub will like the rain.
I missed the last 2 Streams Sorry y’all, I’ll Try to Get time to watch.
I changed my name btw Just thought I’d tell y’all If y’all still look at the comments on this video.
Also any name suggestions idk lol
Pride wildcat warrior or whatever I had I don’t Like for a name no more 😆 so if y’all can give me any suggestions in the comments That would be great 👍
Scrubs McGee 🌳
this game is depressing.
Como le haces para que los videos o el juego este en 1080p o 720p pero con 60fps? 💕🥺
ooooOOOOOOOHHHH

This breaks my heart
Have you played the hd textures version, or do you plan do it somewhere in the future?. I personally find the game more good looking with real hardware on a crt (is way more dark, and the purple colors of the final day stand out more) but with the hd textures i cannot deny that it almost gives a new life to this old game for those who do not have real hardware.
I’m playing through with the high definition textures. And on on a CRT capable of 1080i. Best of both worlds 🤘
I have a recommendation for a 10 hour ambience: in Dragon’s Dogma, there are rooms in the everfall (post dragon) that have the Dark Arisen menu theme on a loop with no vocal backing, so it’s super calm and mellow 😮💨🙏 have a listen, you’ll love it.
Hell, a lot of the tracks are ambient
poor Anju...
I remember this. Does she have special dialogue for gorona and Zoras too?
No, only the Deku has unique dialogue. I tried the other masks too
@@Cirquet thanks, I was curious
💙Memories I love Anju and Kafei Love scens and Requests there masks the wedding dress in her room, uhhhhhhh i feel like my old self again... thank You!
But what does she say if you're a Goron or Zora?
I never know this was a thing ;(
Nice!
Adrian likes rain too
She's kinda like me
This whole scene doesn't look familiar. Was this added in the 3DS version?
It's in the remake, yes.
@@86bottlesofmustard THE ORIGINAL TOO
Sadge
Idk why people are so shocked by these obvious, mundane interactions. Majora's Mask was a shit game.
I reckon you don't know a lot of things.
@@OriginalChrizum pretty sure this guy just learned that this game existed and is trying to bait
It's weird that mundane also means "of this earthly world". The characters feel kinda real don't they?
Maybe you were expecting something more epic, but for me the way the character's stories unfold is epic. Good stories don't need flashy special effects to be good, sometimes mundane is enough.
The moon falling over everyone in 3 days is not mundane, but helping everyone surpass their personal struggles before the 3 days end might be. And that's the whole point of the game.
@@bapanada9446 I just kind of felt that it plays like an OoT romhack. You can really tell it was rushed
@@Helladamnleet I mean you are not obligued to like it. Was just sharing my perspective.
Modern games have a higher bar to meet in terms on quality and not being rushed, but often do worse in both than MM imo. That might be nostalgia talking but whatever.
I like that MM can be played as a big side story, instead of being another grand quest to destroy ganon. And it keeps enough Zelda formula for it to be very enjoyable within the series its put into.
It's not supposed to be anything more than a fun side story with rehashed elements of Oot.
Wait, a MONTH?!
