caution: retro video game geek babble ahead: so i'm currently tracking down most of the zelda games i missed when they came out, and i was keen to play majora's mask as it's been getting a lot of appreciation lately as the "underrated experimental zelda masterpiece". hadn't played it since it came out, never owned it back in the days and thus never got to finish it properly-then a couple of days ago i found it at a thrift store for about $4.(woo hoo!)
so now it's back to the well.

i have to say that although i still find the first 20 minutes of the game excruciatingly annoying, and at times the time limit is a pain in the ass as it kinda hinders the enjoyment of just exploring(well, until you learn a few songs at least), it really opens up into being one of the more interesting zelda games after a while, especially since i've always been more keen on the sidequests than the main adventure in the zelda series anyway. though the graphics were impressive at the time, they show their age 9 years later. i keep catching myself thinking that both the presentation and the whole time travel mechanic would have worked a lot better in the cleaner, more easily navigable iconic top down 2d format, though.

it's a lot fresher than twilight princess, at any rate, but i'd put it after wind waker(short but amazing, and while many may loathe the endless sailing, i loved it) oot, lttp(both unquestionably great) and minish cap (the kinstone bits were like crack to me) on the zelda scale of addictiongasm

Epic looking, yeah. The game is easy, but I don't really need a controller breaking challenge every time I play a game. Zelda games, with the exception of some of the temples in the n64 games, arent really challenging for me.

:O

the ganondorf in Windwaker is my favorite, everyone hates on windwaker so hard, but it's such a sweet game, I even liked the sailing. You felt like the world was endless.

My favorite zelda of all time is A link to the past. Best, my fav.

Ocarina of Time is probably the best zelda game, but A Link to the Past is my favorite

iPear on Jul 02 '09 at 3:20pm
Yeah, zelda games aren't exactly challenging when it comes to boss battles, but it doesn't matter because they're fun and always a little different.

more zelda games need a dark world

More zelda games need the magnet gloves from Oracle of Seasons, oh man those were so B-A.

Majora's Mask is probably my favorite Zelda of all time. Maybe Ocarina is slightly better but they're pretty much equal in terms of awesome. I did not care for Twilight Princess that much. I just got and played Wind Waker for the first time, finished it in about a week. The game play was good, it was better than TP but still not one of my favorite zeldas.

I really loved Ganondorf's look in Wind Waker, he looked so much more imposing than the birdlike, chinless version from OoT. WW's art direction is probably my favorite of any game

hands_on_fire on Jul 02 '09 at 3:22pm
Ipear, your right about the world feeling big, though I always thought they copped out on the water, everything in that game is wonderfully stylized, and then the water is the flat matte blue, what the hell.

beast ganon in OOT is the shit. so is the version in Twilight Princess

I never got to the end of Twilight Princess. I should buy that damn game and play through it.

oh man, I could ramble but I'm not going to
I just agree with everything in this blog

Yeah, beast Ganon is brilliant. Not so keen on human Ganondorf in OoT though, he looks like the ginger runt of the litter that spawned Sting in Lynch's ambitious-but-wholly-cuckoo adaptation of Dune.

And when you look like the runt of the litter compared to Sting, you know you're in trouble.

am i the only person who hated majora's mask? the concept was interesting, but my favorite part of the zelda games is exploring and enjoying the "scenery."

I've only ever played Link's Awakening. I love(d) it. I should play more Zelda games one day.

I haven't played it yet, but I intend to buy it for my Wii, as soon as I finish with some that are in the way (Okami, Twilight Princess, Marion 64, Megaman 9, No More Heroes).

I'v also played very few Zeldas, both for NES, A Lik to the Past and Ocarina of time, but I love all of them deeply and should play the rest of them.

I really like the newest DS game, Phantom Hourglass. It's very much a direct sequel to Windwaker which I was also a big fan of.

windwaker is still the only video game I've ever actually beaten.

I guess I'm saving them for a rainy day too
