Can You Beat Majora's Mask's Dungeons In Reverse Order With 3 Hearts?

[@JKLeeds]

What's your favourite mask?

[@sirbill_greebi3811]

stone mask I have social anxiety.

[@leegregory7893]

@JKLeeds Fierce diety just so I can go back and smack around old bosses. Also, the scream is way more feral than the other transformation masks. For non transformation masks it would be the bunny hood because of how convenient it makes the game.

[@frostyelwood9898]

@@JKLeedsid love if you went after the other games. Im a huge fan of Zelda and im disappointed more people dont do challenges like this aside from BOTW/TOTK. Its probably easier since those are open world but its still disappointing that we dont get more content like this. Id love to see you tackle Wind Waker in a similar fashion and to also hear your opinions on it. Edit: my mother had me draw a tattoo for her and i drew Sheik! Zelda tattoo gang stand up!

[@draghettis6524]

The reason the song of healing gives you the masks to wear is because this way, you can heal their souls by solving the regrets of their life, and thus help them properly die. Except for the Deku Mask, this is just a case of Skull Kid killing a Deku Scrub ( probably the butler's kid ) just to make Link suffer, but I guess you could interpret "stopping majora" as what lets them move on.

[@Guywhohasntslept]

Yes

[@draghettis6524]

6:02 It is really simple. The transformations look like Link screaming in agony because putting the mask on causes all feelings of sorrow and regret to assault Link all at once. As revealed by the Happy Mask Salesman on Miiverse a while ago.

[@JKLeeds]

That does make sense. I'd also imagine your body physically transforming into a goron would be pretty painful

[@Jcassss]

@@JKLeedsi mean, it does also sound like you hear bones cracking

[@SameSeam]

Don't forget the physical change also, All of them look painful to transform into

[@PressContinue]

Ah JK going completely mask off and shows his appreciation for the "original souls" formula. I remember lying in bed late at night playing this with my tv turned towards me during in my high school years, standing on the ranch's rooftop, eyes upon the moon on the third day... the eerie music of the final hours passing... waiting out the clock... having an existential moment... and then... playing the song of time 1 second before the end...

[@JKLeeds]

This game, man....definitely something special about it.

[@r0bz0rly]

Watching the moon fall on the roof of the ranch is a universal millennial gaming experience, I swear It was such a fitting place to wait out the clock

[@DieSpielhoelle]

Jk branched out to Zelda. A lot more games and even more pun possibilities

[@JKLeeds]

Gotta try something different once in a while

[@RickRaptor105]

23:13 that's actually interesting that learning the Oath to Order isn't tied to clearing the Woodfall Temple, but just whatever dungeon you clear first

[@zelatoth]

I appreciate when a challenge run uses none to minimal glitches. Watching a challenge run where they break 90% of the game is about as fun as watching a race where they just move five feet, turn around and cross the finish and say they won.

[@AProudLokean]

Not to "well akshually", but a little bit of "well akshually" is that the skeleton enemies in Ikana Graveyard aren't Stalfos. Stalfos are adult skeletons, the smaller ones that use claw attacks are Stalchildren. The only Stalfos in Majora's Mask are Igos du Ikana and his two guards. Stalchildren are horrifying with terrible implications. You fist see them in Ocarina of Time in Hyrule Field at night, specifically in the child time as the adult time has Poes instead.

[@JKLeeds]

The more you know!

[@OdeioArrobas]

@JKLeeds Since we are in the vibes of the "well akshually" The miniboss of the Woodfall Temple it's actually a Dinofols not a Lizalfos Despite they looking very similar Dont even know why Aonuma thought of doing that Just call it a Lizalfos!

[@cullenlatham2366]

equally, the "lizalfos" in the dungeons are actually "dinalfos", the adult equivalent in OoT. The mechanical difference is JUST the ability to breathe fire.

[@ViralHijack]

I was expecting some kind of pun about flying around the Stone Temple as Deku Link like a Stone Temple Pilot.

[@Xaiclun]

The thing why the fight get srestarted when you get hit with teh Beam from Majora's Mask in Zora form is that Zora-Link is vulnerable to fire, so getting hit by a fire attack kinda kills you instantly, but instead of getting a game over it gets handled like when you "drown" as Deku or Goron, resetting you to the latest 'safe' spot. I found that out when I tried to do almost everything as Zora-Link and always got 'one-shoted' by the Garo-Masters Fire-Blades.

[@Cyrus_11215]

Never knew JK’s other favorite game series was also Zelda! Hopefully we see more Zelda content because this was delightful!

[@JKLeeds]

Great to hear you enjoyed the video 🙂

[@JGreen42]

The reason goron link dropped the ball (or bomb i guess) is because of some strange collision with those particular bridges. Try throwing the keg in the future for extra distance. Also walking backwards is slightly faster than forwards when carrying it.

[@alericjohansen6775]

A little tip, for the wizerobes (like the one in stone tower), if you have the compass, you can see which one is the real one on the minimap ;)

[@the_bookworm8281]

Here is a little bit of a fun fact: you don't actually need to follow Darmani all the way to the grave. You can simply Song of Soaring back to Mountain Village and climb up to meet him at the grave, as he will already be there. You will need the Lens of Truth to interact with him at the grave, which would already be recommended due to having to climb up the invisible pathway.

[@jehru5]

Dang, I was kinda hoping you would take a page out of Baron's book and break the game. Though it is very impressive to complete a 3-heart/no upgrades run without glitches. Great video and puns as always! MM is truly unique among the Zelda games, and you did a great job showing just how non-linear it can be.

[@forgototherpassword]

Feels wrong seeing you play a game where you can't have tunic-green skin and bright purple hair. Good video!

[@JKLeeds]

Yeah that was the hardest part of the challenge tbh

[@forgototherpassword]

@@JKLeeds You're so brave to go without.

[@Aleferion]

This is my favorite game! Just a little tip for the bosses, as soon as you get goron, his punches are stronger than links sword slashes, at least untill you get all the sword upgrades. ^^

[@Lucyzilla64]

fun fact ! you dont actually need to buy back the item that the annoying bird takes from you. if youre willing to just rewind time for that cycle, your item will return to your inventory at the beginning of a new cycle :-)

[@masonschwalm2010]

Thanks for the tip! Might not always be practical if you’re deep into a run when it happens, but I’ve been playing since the game released back in 2000, when I was 14, and I never knew about this. I woulda been too scared to reset in case it didn’t come back, but good to know it can be done if it comes down to it and you don’t wanna go through the hassle. Also, save states if you’re playing on emu or NSO, are a lifesaver for stuff like that, as long as you remember to do them regularly. Happy gaming! 🎮

[@Lucyzilla64]

@@masonschwalm2010 Yea no problem ! I've got plenty of knowledge on Majora's Mask since I've been fixated on the game since a very young age (always been a fan of Zelda :-) ) about a year ago a bottle of mine got stolen in a 100% run and i REALLY did not have the patience to get the cash so i just reset in hopes that i would get the bottle back and thats how i found out ! :-3

Fun Fact: outside of the initial 2 guards, everything needed for the gibdo maze can be found somewhere in the dungeon itself. EVERYONE just uses the shopping list, but actually playing the dungeon to find everything is a fun challenge in itself.

I got most of the items within the dungeon, but after watching so many people use the shopping list, I almost forgot. So much more convenient to get them in the dungeon itself.

I love how they change the cutscene at the end depending on how many giants you rescued, it is unfortunate that you do have to rescue them all in one run, but the fact that they had planned out you playing the song after only having one or two rescued or even none at all is pretty cool.

[@ashleyblack7419]

Ironically, you can even do this in the 2nd 3day cycle (counting the deku one as 1st) + do the two major sidequests, it's really impressive what you can do without glitches or with minor glitches

5:55 imagine you're a 10 yr old boy. Now imagine your body violently growing and shrinking, crushing and setting bones, stretching you out to a full grown adult, or shrinking you to a smaller size, your skin transforms into rock, or wood, and for the Zora mask, you grow gills. I imagine all that happening in the span of a few seconds would be excruciating.

[@JKLeeds]

Glad to hear you like it 😊

[@tlozfreak888]

The reason you dropped the powder keg there is a known bug. From what I remember, the level geometry is a little messed up right there. It counts as a slope for a very tiny area, which puts you in a sliding animation to drop the keg, but it happens so fast you can't really see it, so it looks like you just drop it for no reason.

[@rindslay1904]

I’m definitely here for this kind of non-souls content! I’ve been a huge fan of the challenge running format and applying it to the LoZ games are an awesome addition!

[@pmvd95]

For the Gomes fight, you can also use bombs and deku nuts to dispel the bats (the effect is shorter than light arrows)

[@D3V10U5]

For twinmold on the 3DS: do NOT use cheats if your 3DS can use checkpoint. Having moon jump or all masks active made the boss fight literally last forever. I learned the hard way after an almost hour long boss fight, then trying again with no cheats on...

[@xapasti]

I think there is a good overlap between fans of Souls and fans of Zelda (especially considering they share some core design aspects). I am one of them and Majora's Mask is probably my favorite of the old zelda games. I have not tried the new ones myself but they seem really good. I hope you can try a run for Tears of The Kingdom because it's building system is so cool and gives people a lot of room for creativity.

[@matheusheringer9569]

if it was that much of a hassle, i can only imagine how bad would be doing that on the 3D version, were you HAVE to beat the first on with arrow because the mask is the boss drop, then you fight the second one slugish AF and WRESTLING the giant worm. yes. WRESTLING, trowing fist and even grabbing it's tail to pummel on the ground

[@JKLeeds]

The worst part of that would be actually having to play the 3DS version at all 🤮

[@AaronCorr]

I was wondering how the game could look so good, then I remembered it got a rerelease for more modern nintendo systems

[@mapmage]

If i remeber correctly you can skip getting epona and fire arrows glitchless with bombs and the goron ground pound. Gettint hit mid jump isnt a glitch. If you start the pound when the bomb is about to explode youd get knocked away from the bomb. This can get you over the zora and ikana gates. The only issue would be getting up the cliff. I think you can walk up there via the wall near the graveyard with the same trick, but that could be considered out of bounds.

[@JKLeeds]

Perhaps but even if you did that, you need the fire arrows and powder keg to be able to complete Ikana Castle.

[@noahfee7532]

On the second phase of iron knuckles you can spam arrows which makes it far easier
