Another neat little thing about this game I love that I haven't heard a lot of people talk about, is how it changes certain dialogue after you've already played through it once before. Reason being because of time travel. I can't remember all of them, but I do distinctly remember before the final battle with Majora after you've done knocked out Skull Kid, Tatl and Tael go to reunite and during the first time you play it, Tael explains how it isn't Skull Kid's fault and that he was lonely and Tatl responds with her basically saying it's not an excuse cause he was trying to destroy everything. And then she is surprised to see Majora act sentient as at first she thought it was the Skull Kid and also begs Link to reverse time since she's scared to follow him into the moon and doesn't go in with Link until Tael says he'll go instead. Then if you replay the battle again after beating the game (and I think dying during the MM battle works too, not certain on that, I always noticed it after went to replay the battle), before Tael even gets the part where he explains why Skull Kid did the stuff he did, Tatl interrupts him with basically a "yeah, yeah, he did that cause the mask caused him too, blah, blah..." and Tael is surprised she knows what he was about to say. While I think she still acts somewhat surprised at Majora coming alive (can't remember specifics, it's been a while since I've last played), she doesn't react exactly like how she did before when she first thought it was Skull Kid talking. Lastly she acts ready and willing to follow Link into the moon instead of begging him to reverse time like before and even tells Tael to stay behind. I just found that neat as a kid and even now still do, cause it adds another layer of depth to the fact that they are, in fact, time traveling and that there are probably other people other than Tael that finds it odd that they know stuff about them that they shouldn't. lol
@@zypper7213 I wouldn't say stuck.. Rather that they can after beating the mask willingly go back to do it again...why would they? Um... yeah no answer there..
@paula I agree with that sentiment, but only on the gameplay "improvements". I still thoroughly enjoyed the easter eggs and references that were added.
Me, I used to actually play that intro all the time. I think its actually much easier than described, because you just need to open up ANY menu option I believe before going back. I always would open the preview for my save file. It was my favorite secret, only rivaled by being able to jump over the fence at the Gorman Brother's racetrack.
I've been on the hunt for a N64 so I can replay my copy of this; my efforts on about to be doubled. Much as I enjoyed the 3DS remake, there's something special about the original. :D
Majora's Mask is and always be a testament to how dedicated and amazing Nintendo can be. For such a rushed game, it is so beautifully designed. It leaves such a deep imprint on all who've played it.❣️
I've got really high hopes for BotW2 to have a similar dark tone. The feeling of MM is one of the reasons it's my favorite Zelda-game. BotW is great, but it simply lacks something
@@elli_senfsaat Zelda MM ended up being interesting BECAUSE it was rushed. I think that botw 2 will be tamer and definetly not as dark as MM. MM was made in the beggining of 00's, dark and deep themes aren't allowed in kids games nowadays. Nintendo isn't willing to make an M rated Zelda, they strive to make games for family friendly audience.
The Gamecube in the 3DS version isn't the first reference to the system in MM. There's a drawing of a dolphin under the pots in the Observatory in the N64 version; Dolphin was the original name of the system that became the Gamecube.
I remember leaving the intro going to see how long it'd go for. I saw the alternate title screen when it started over. Huh. Now that I think about it, it mirrors the time travelling that you'd be doing. The first opening is exclusively in town, the second one starts in town at and from different angles and perspectives before moving on and showing the areas outside out of town. You start in the same place and your end goal is the same.
There is another very cool secret you missed which you can only find on the very first 3-day cycle. On that first cycle, wait for the final hours to begin on the final day while standing outside the astral observatory (technically in Termina field). Instead of getting the usual cutscene with the clock tower opening you get a completely different one.

Great video! I used to be a *huge* theorist back in high school when Twilight Princess was about to come out, but since I basically ended up spoiling the game for myself because I was so into it, I stepped back until literally two days ago. MM has always been my favorite and I remember thinking the alternate opening was false until I did it and totally freaked my best friend out in middle school, haha! Great to be back and that there are great content creators like you around these days! I’m so old... haha!
About the alternative Intro Title Screen, all I had to do was watch the first one, wait a while and it would reset and start playing the second one. It wasn't a "secret" to me, but that's because I've been combing over that game for nearly 20 years now, including the 3DS remake. Edit: I wasn't able to find a lot of things (Heart Pieces, the Lottery, etc.) in the game until the 3DS remake due to the Bombers' Notebook being so limited for 13 years.
This game being rushed sorta worked to its favor. They didn't filter ideas out, they just let the creativity flow. Turning into other species with the movement benefits that come with them is an idea I wish Nintendo would revisit, whether by masks or a different means.
the alternate Majoras Mask intro also appears if you just leave the game on and do nothing lol it will eventually start again from the beginning and play the different one the next time. The same with Ocarina of Time, hell even Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie, and Donkey Kong 64 have a similar feature as well. Seems like nintendo like to give players different alternate intros back then for just leaving the game on and not playing it lol
I'm fairly certain that the alternate title sequence plays when you let the intro play twice. I also think there are 3 alternate intros, but I can't remember rn as it's been a while since I last played.
My guess is that they wanted viewers to see the intro that takes place entirely in Clock Town because they didn’t want to reveal to players that Epona would be reclaimed. They also didn’t want players to ask since Romani Ranch on the first day is inaccessible until after the halfway point of the game.
It's amazing how they made the game so quickly yet it has so much depth. Almost every character in the game has a side quest or is involved in the main quest.
@@Legoluigi26 wow, that va must have a wide vocal range. When you said mlp it reminded me of this, I found out the va for pinkie pie is the one who voices mina from death note.
But there's something I never realized when playing through this game myself. Playing hide and seek with the Bombers at the very beginning of the game actually foreshadows playing hide and seek with the Lunar Children at the very end of the game.
"And if you look closely, you can find another of Nintendo's toys" *Shows a scale and books* Hm... Yeah, makes sense. Nintendo loves to sue people to protect their IPs... "Rob!" Oh! Of course. That makes more sense I guess.

Well done! I was there Day One when this game was released and you managed to find a whole bunch of new secrets I hadn't noticed. I'm sad I never knew about the alternate opening sooner. I wonder, if given more time in development, if the title screen would have multiple versions that would loop, showing off all of Termina.
4:52 I'm legitimately surprised that MNB didn't mention the mask that the Happy Mask Salesman has that looks like TMNT's Leonardo, especially considering his icon.
@@C4_43 That's tough, I love Majora's Mask, probably my favorite 3d Zelda, but it only tops Twilight Princess because of nostalgia for me. You can't go wrong with either game, especially considering you can emulate MM very easily on nearly any computer.
The thing that I've always like about Majora's Mask, despite the hate that it's gotten over the years, is that they were able to make such a masterpiece in such a short period of time, but also include so many Easter Eggs, and consistent theories in said game, in that same period of time. I give them props in being able to accomplish such a thing, and that's without sacrificing quality just to make a deadline.
*sweats nervously as I realize since I have beaten majora's mask exactly 17 times and I'm currently on my 18th playthrough I already knew all of these* Still a great video though, I love to see people talking about my favorite game! This video gave me instant serotonin.
In regards to the alternate intro screen (I'm referring solely to the N64) if you allowed og intri, and did not hit buttons to activate the game play screen, the alternate intro appears. Fun fact, when you play the game first time around and are waiting for midnight, at 11:30 make your way to the bombers secret cave, once midnight appears, the fireworks start from "GREAT BAY". If you can, try it.
Alternate title screen features: ranch girl training to fight off alien invasion, pirates patrolling their fortress, undead soldiers in a graveyard. Yup. Too peaceful.
with the assets reused... majoras mask was meant to be an expansion pack for Oot. there was going to be an addon devise for the n64 to allowed disk downloading. It never got off the grown so they just made majoras mask its own game.
Funny thing about the alternate intro. I never had to do the button sequence to see it. It just randomly happened from time to time and I remember that distinctly because the first time I saw it I was like "huh, neat."
Man after 20 years you'd hope to get such a great game as majoras mask. I can remember the day I got the game I was so thrilled but also scared at the intro and just about everything in the game I was young when I first played it and would have to get my older brother to get through the scary parts such a wonderful game not any game can give you that feeling anymore either it was just childhood or it was the game the only that could actually compare to MM to me was twilight princess my all time favorite zelda game sad tho that MM and OOT didn't get a 20th anniversary remake for the switch imagine how hype everyone would've been
Congratulations; you've just earned yourself a sub and a like. I've been playing Majora's Mask religiously for the past 20 years, and I had no idea the alternative title screen even existed.
@@HyruleGamer I wish they had delved deeper into it, and maybe included some things or dialogue about Hyrule. Maybe one of the characters says like they had a dream about being someone else, and what they describe consists of their Hyrule counter part.
I actually saw this as a kid, the intro. I thought EVERYONE knew about this. I used to leave the gamecube open and I occasionally saw that intro. At the time I had a game crush on Malon, so I preferred this intro more than the O.G
hyrule gamer: "I don't want to make another one of those videos with secrets that have been endlessly talked about already" also hyrule gamer: "LOOK IT'S A MARIO MASK??"
Actually, Granny is Anju's grandmother in Ocarina of Time as well. During the side quest for the Biggoron's Sword, you'll have to take Cojiro from the cucco lady (Anju) to her brother (Grog), who in turn asks you to take a mushroom to Granny in the potion shop. She gives the medicine to take back to him, but he's gone. Fado, the creepy Kokiri girl who talks at you about how he's a Stalfos now, gives you the Carpenter's Saw which you then give to the Master Craftsman (Tortus), who is the father of the cucco lady and her brother. He mentions having left the saw with his mother at the potion shop. So the whole family tree is copied verbatim from Hyrule to Termina.
I was one of those few people who would be drawing while listening listening to the opening load screens on repeat. Majora’s Mask, Ocarina of Time, and the Wind Waker all had a second opening if you let the press start screen repeat itself. But if your able to trigger which opening sequence the title screen plays, then that’s definitely something new for me
Usually these “secrets” videos, I’d already found, and assumed they were all known, only to find out I’ve played the games waaaaaaay too many times to be surprised. However, I had no idea about the title screen! You’ve earned yourself a sub for showing me something nee
I had no idea about the alternate intro, or that it was even possible. I'm not sure if I ever even held Start when turning it on. I sure didn't skip that part of your video as it was my first time seeing it.
Honestly, I couldn’t finish this game. I was in the first dungeon/temple in the forest and I gave up. I feel bad, but with all the videos on it, I still know almost everything about it. Maybe one day, I’ll go back and actually finish it
You left out one of my favorite easter eggs. In MM3D if you go to the sword smith's workshop and you look to the left of the entryway, there are some weapons on display... some of which are very similar to some weapons found in Breath of the Wild, something I haven't seen anyone else even notice or talk about... which is shocking because this is even bigger of an "early look" than the Skyward Sword stuff on OoT3D
The Alternate intro movie plays if you save and quit at an owl statue. The fact you can find it by selecting a file, and going to options and doing all that other stuff, makes it sound like a glitch that it's playing.
Even knowing all of these secrets already, this video hit me like a bomb of nostalgia. I hope botw2 will be like mm, both with the secrets and in how dark it is Anyways, awesome video as always man!
I’m not even saying this to be funny or anything like that. But I distinctly remember playing majoras mask on the GameCube console and I promise you that the secret intro that you find on the older game is the exact same intro they use on the game cube console....at least that’s what I remember.... like as soon as you showed the secret majoras mask intro I thought “omg I’ve seen this exact intro like 100 times” it’s just mind blowing that there are two and I didn’t think anything less of it. You should definitely play majoras mask on the game cube console ;) I think you’d enjoy it
I remember witnessing the secret intro after seeing the first one finish. I was going to get a drink in the middle of the normal opening, and when I came back, I saw the second one and was so confused, but I thought it was really cool.
I actually new about the secret intro when i originally played (i did not really think of it as a secret) and i was stuck in clock town for years and i always imagined the places i would get to travel once i escaped clock town,
another alternative cutscene: at the 6 hours remain mark, where the carnival fireworks go off. be just outside of clock town's borders at that time for a different scene. I discovered this at the observatory outside where you get the moon's tear.
Hyrule gamer: I'm not going to cover information that's been shared by many other creators Also Hyrule gamer: the lunar children are the happy mask salesman
Who covered that as a secret? My apologies if someone has but I figured that wasn't taken literally as it is impossible for me to know EVERYONE who has done a secrets video.
sgillman16 it’s the third, and seeing as it’s not common knowledge on how to get it to play, a button sequence to force it is pretty neat. You can tell a lot of effort was put into this and all of HG’s other videos as well, so need to be rude just because he made a slight mistake.
I also sometimes had to second secret title-intro sequence play when I was runnin' the game. It wasn't often but at random. I found the novelty of it nice, lovely and enjoyable.
Love your videos, buddy. But that second intro is available if you simply push nothing and let the intro play twice. Anyway, I would love to see more MM vids. Love your stuff, keep it up.
Say what you want; I loved the 3DS remake. The remake actually took longer to make, too. As soon as they finished Ocarina of Time 3D, they started the Majora's Mask remake, which took four years. The N64 Majora's Mask only took one.
After all these years so many years ago playing this game over and over I somehow managed to miss all of those I'm blown away that that game had an alternate beginning
This game is great and there can never be enough videos about it. Even if they repeat stuff. Except for the Link-is-dead-part or Ben Drowned. Those are over-discussed lol
I remember getting the alternate intro when I was a kid because I loved just watching intros as a kid and would watch them once or twice before playing the game and I saw that alternate intro. Maybe it's about how long you let the game go? It's cool
Not surprising that someone would miss it though. Not many people let it play twice. I give him credit though, he always tries to find things that no one else has covered.
Honestly, the Giants that are supposed to hold the moon up appeared in one of my nightmares. The nightmare was one of the giants held me in their hand. The background was Termina on the final day, but it was nighttime. Then the giant *ATE* me, yeah, you heard that right. The giant who was supposed to save the town *ATE* me! I just remembered that nightmare recently...
Huh? I swear I have seen the alternate title a view times when leaving my Gamecube on to do something a view minutes, like calling a friend or something

I give them props in being able to accomplish such a thing, and that's without sacrificing quality just to make a deadline.
It is indeed a great a accomplishment :)
Happy mask salesman has a fresh fade
*sweats nervously as I realize since I have beaten majora's mask exactly 17 times and I'm currently on my 18th playthrough I already knew all of these*
Still a great video though, I love to see people talking about my favorite game! This video gave me instant serotonin.
Thanks haha
Idk what guys think, but I love it when zelda theories do collabs they just seem to have the most wholesome friendship!
Majora’s Mask has been my favorite game since I was a child. I love that I can still learn new things about this game, thank you
Nice, thanks :)
I thought the first one was pretty obvious from playing
Edit: This video has a lot of obvious or well known details
Sorry if you knew some of these, as mentioned in the intro it is a 20 year old game it's near impossible to be new to everyone :)
@@HyruleGamer It's all good, I did learn a few things as well
In regards to the alternate intro screen (I'm referring solely to the N64) if you allowed og intri, and did not hit buttons to activate the game play screen, the alternate intro appears. Fun fact, when you play the game first time around and are waiting for midnight, at 11:30 make your way to the bombers secret cave, once midnight appears, the fireworks start from "GREAT BAY". If you can, try it.
Holy shit, the alternate intro, i remember it from when i was a kid but i thought i had just imagined it. what a rush of nostalgia omg
The alternate version is to peaceful
lol
Alternate title screen features: ranch girl training to fight off alien invasion, pirates patrolling their fortress, undead soldiers in a graveyard. Yup. Too peaceful.
with the assets reused... majoras mask was meant to be an expansion pack for Oot. there was going to be an addon devise for the n64 to allowed disk downloading. It never got off the grown so they just made majoras mask its own game.
Funny thing about the alternate intro. I never had to do the button sequence to see it. It just randomly happened from time to time and I remember that distinctly because the first time I saw it I was like "huh, neat."
Man after 20 years you'd hope to get such a great game as majoras mask. I can remember the day I got the game I was so thrilled but also scared at the intro and just about everything in the game I was young when I first played it and would have to get my older brother to get through the scary parts such a wonderful game not any game can give you that feeling anymore either it was just childhood or it was the game the only that could actually compare to MM to me was twilight princess my all time favorite zelda game sad tho that MM and OOT didn't get a 20th anniversary remake for the switch imagine how hype everyone would've been
Congratulations; you've just earned yourself a sub and a like. I've been playing Majora's Mask religiously for the past 20 years, and I had no idea the alternative title screen even existed.
“It’s one of the darkest games ever made and that should not be taken lightly”
Ha!
Of course they are all the same character models.
It was supposed to be a parallel universe.
Same people, but living a different life.
Yeah it doubled as that but isn't exactly a huge focus of the game.
@@HyruleGamer I wish they had delved deeper into it, and maybe included some things or dialogue about Hyrule.
Maybe one of the characters says like they had a dream about being someone else, and what they describe consists of their Hyrule counter part.
@@sgillman16 Oh yeah for sure, that would have been really cool but I suppose they were tight on time
I actually saw this as a kid, the intro. I thought EVERYONE knew about this. I used to leave the gamecube open and I occasionally saw that intro. At the time I had a game crush on Malon, so I preferred this intro more than the O.G
hyrule gamer: "I don't want to make another one of those videos with secrets that have been endlessly talked about already"
also hyrule gamer: "LOOK IT'S A MARIO MASK??"
🤣
Actually, Granny is Anju's grandmother in Ocarina of Time as well. During the side quest for the Biggoron's Sword, you'll have to take Cojiro from the cucco lady (Anju) to her brother (Grog), who in turn asks you to take a mushroom to Granny in the potion shop. She gives the medicine to take back to him, but he's gone. Fado, the creepy Kokiri girl who talks at you about how he's a Stalfos now, gives you the Carpenter's Saw which you then give to the Master Craftsman (Tortus), who is the father of the cucco lady and her brother. He mentions having left the saw with his mother at the potion shop. So the whole family tree is copied verbatim from Hyrule to Termina.
It always bugged me as a kid to see that link had a sit animation in the intro but you couldn't do that at all in game.
Oh lol
That alternate intro also plays when you save and quit at an owl statue, you don't need to be quick with the main menu
I was one of those few people who would be drawing while listening listening to the opening load screens on repeat. Majora’s Mask, Ocarina of Time, and the Wind Waker all had a second opening if you let the press start screen repeat itself. But if your able to trigger which opening sequence the title screen plays, then that’s definitely something new for me
Oh nice lol
Eiji Aonuma said when people were asking for MM 3D remake that he had no idea what was going through his head when he made this.
Usually these “secrets” videos, I’d already found, and assumed they were all known, only to find out I’ve played the games waaaaaaay too many times to be surprised.
However, I had no idea about the title screen! You’ve earned yourself a sub for showing me something nee
I had no idea about the alternate intro, or that it was even possible. I'm not sure if I ever even held Start when turning it on. I sure didn't skip that part of your video as it was my first time seeing it.
Honestly, I couldn’t finish this game. I was in the first dungeon/temple in the forest and I gave up. I feel bad, but with all the videos on it, I still know almost everything about it. Maybe one day, I’ll go back and actually finish it
Ahh fair enough :)
What if the Happy Mask Salesman is more connected to Majora's Mask than we thought?
Then we have a theory on our hands haha
@@HyruleGamer If you want to do a video on that, it would be so cool! Or maybe I could make my own video.
Nice alternate introduction screen! If the game was any good, I'd actually own it to try to make this happen!
The gamecube model has a gameboy player attached to it too.
Yup!
You left out one of my favorite easter eggs. In MM3D if you go to the sword smith's workshop and you look to the left of the entryway, there are some weapons on display... some of which are very similar to some weapons found in Breath of the Wild, something I haven't seen anyone else even notice or talk about... which is shocking because this is even bigger of an "early look" than the Skyward Sword stuff on OoT3D
The Alternate intro movie plays if you save and quit at an owl statue. The fact you can find it by selecting a file, and going to options and doing all that other stuff, makes it sound like a glitch that it's playing.
Oh interesting!
Framing a reused model as some kind of creepypasta in majora's mask of all games is pretty funny lol
Even knowing all of these secrets already, this video hit me like a bomb of nostalgia. I hope botw2 will be like mm, both with the secrets and in how dark it is
Anyways, awesome video as always man!
I cosplayed as the Happy Mask Salesman last year. I have looked over the masks on his bag more times than I can count!
Oh nice, that's awesome!
I’m not even saying this to be funny or anything like that. But I distinctly remember playing majoras mask on the GameCube console and I promise you that the secret intro that you find on the older game is the exact same intro they use on the game cube console....at least that’s what I remember.... like as soon as you showed the secret majoras mask intro I thought “omg I’ve seen this exact intro like 100 times” it’s just mind blowing that there are two and I didn’t think anything less of it. You should definitely play majoras mask on the game cube console ;) I think you’d enjoy it
I'm still baffled that they included all these secrets in a game that literally only took one single year to make
Weird thing is I actually got the “hidden” intro the first time I played the game.
I remember witnessing the secret intro after seeing the first one finish. I was going to get a drink in the middle of the normal opening, and when I came back, I saw the second one and was so confused, but I thought it was really cool.
Oh nice haha
I actually new about the secret intro when i originally played (i did not really think of it as a secret) and i was stuck in clock town for years and i always imagined the places i would get to travel once i escaped clock town,
another alternative cutscene: at the 6 hours remain mark, where the carnival fireworks go off. be just outside of clock town's borders at that time for a different scene. I discovered this at the observatory outside where you get the moon's tear.
I actually discovered the alternate intro by accident. I never even knew it was a secret until now.
0:13
The Hero’s Shade: Am I a joke to you?
Lol what an honor for MNB to be able to say the iconic line!!!
I actually love that line haha
Yessss haha
Hyrule gamer: I'm not going to cover information that's been shared by many other creators
Also Hyrule gamer: the lunar children are the happy mask salesman
Who covered that as a secret? My apologies if someone has but I figured that wasn't taken literally as it is impossible for me to know EVERYONE who has done a secrets video.
@@HyruleGamer oh sorry I meant no offense, I was just joking around. I've heard the thing about the moon children a lot tho.
I swear ive accidentally activated the second opening messing around on it on the 64 as a kid
sgillman16 it’s the third, and seeing as it’s not common knowledge on how to get it to play, a button sequence to force it is pretty neat. You can tell a lot of effort was put into this and all of HG’s other videos as well, so need to be rude just because he made a slight mistake.
Glad you did this one. Majora's Mask is my favorite nintendo game ever!
When recording this video i bet all the NPCs were wondering why there was a boy going around taking pictures of everyone.
For some reason this video has a bug that the 50% of the time UA-cam thinks if for kids
The secret beginning screen thing looks like it could be the end credits ngl.
ngl that sped up version of the intro sequence is weirdly catchy
Ikr lol
I also sometimes had to second secret title-intro sequence play when I was runnin' the game. It wasn't often but at random. I found the novelty of it nice, lovely and enjoyable.
Love your videos, buddy. But that second intro is available if you simply push nothing and let the intro play twice. Anyway, I would love to see more MM vids. Love your stuff, keep it up.
The person that found that last secret had to either data mined it or was impatient and just accidentally did that.
Say what you want; I loved the 3DS remake. The remake actually took longer to make, too. As soon as they finished Ocarina of Time 3D, they started the Majora's Mask remake, which took four years. The N64 Majora's Mask only took one.
After all these years so many years ago playing this game over and over I somehow managed to miss all of those I'm blown away that that game had an alternate beginning
Learn something new everyday :)
@@HyruleGamer thank you sir
This game is great and there can never be enough videos about it. Even if they repeat stuff.
Except for the Link-is-dead-part or Ben Drowned. Those are over-discussed lol
I remember getting the alternate intro when I was a kid because I loved just watching intros as a kid and would watch them once or twice before playing the game and I saw that alternate intro. Maybe it's about how long you let the game go? It's cool
Not surprising that someone would miss it though. Not many people let it play twice. I give him credit though, he always tries to find things that no one else has covered.
If I remember well, the second intro also is a thing in Ocarina of Time and its the same if you let the intro plays twice I think
Honestly, the Giants that are supposed to hold the moon up appeared in one of my nightmares. The nightmare was one of the giants held me in their hand.
The background was Termina on the final day, but it was nighttime. Then the giant *ATE* me, yeah, you heard that right. The giant who was supposed to save the town *ATE* me!
I just remembered that nightmare recently...
Oh no... That's awful :(
Hyrule Gamer Yeah, plus the giants had a creepy design anyways!
Huh? I swear I have seen the alternate title a view times when leaving my Gamecube on to do something a view minutes, like calling a friend or something
Yeah it also appears if you let the first one roll out :)
That alternate menu screen brings back memories, it was the first one I saw of the 2
