Ranking EVERY Mask in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

The Legend of zelda majora's mask is currently my favorite game in the zelda franchise. One of the main reasons that is is because of the masks. These masks all grant link special abilities, so today I thought it would be fun to rank all of the masks in majoras mask from the worst to the best! So to celebrate the release of the legend of zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, I'm doing just that!

I actually think the postman’s hat is a massive missed opportunity. Imagine if it allowed you to read the mail that you see the people in clock down deposit throughout the 3 days? That would’ve been a neat (albeit not super useful) thing to set the mask apart from the others, but nope. Just a heart peace and some green rupies (I mean I understand why they didn’t do that in the n64 version with the time constraints during development but it would’ve been a perfect 3ds exclusive change)

[@Odyssey_Central]

Ohhhh and those letters could maybe give hints as to where to obtain some items from around clocktown! That actually would be quite helpful, especially on a first play through

Absolutely loved the Garo's Mask. First played this game at a very young age and was very intrigued by their lore. “Belief or disbelief rests with you. To die without leaving a corpse… That is the way of us Garo.”

[@puffmain3276]

The postman timer doesn't disappear when wearing the bunny hood as an homage to how in OoT, you give the running man (same model) the bunny hood

[@ankiyaanimations7196]

I honestly really love the hair of the great fairy mask. At that time it was very rare to see hair physics in games. And i loved pretending to be a great fairy as a kid lol

[@YamatoFukkatsu]

I guess on a technical perspective, that is pretty impressive given the era...... however, as a kid, I always though the Great Fairy in the N64 games looked pretty ugly. I mean, the low-poly models never helped, but the whole pointy-nosed, ivy-garbed aesthetic seemed like a wild departure from the more graceful (if a bit generic) gown look in Link To The Past. Though, I will say that Hyrule Warriors did a massive service for the N64 design.

[@TheNapol]

Of course his favourite zelda game is where you have to equip hats/masks to change your appearance and transform into other entities.

[@RevanSecura]

you forgot to mention that the Goron Mask has another reward attached to it. by using it on the Goron racetrack you can earn a bottle of gold dust which is a required item to completely upgrade the Kokiri Sword permanently.

[@Bulblorb]

just making it better

[@ScrambledAndBenedict]

I like the Circus Leader Mask because it's only purpose is a little bit of lore. It's cool that all it exists to do is show you the lives of three people. That this one guy, who you thought was just a miserable prick, was once this wide-eyed optimistic man who was inspired to go into show-business because he heard a song he liked and wanted to meet the singers, and how remembering that cheers him up and reminds him why he left the farm. Then showing it to his brothers reveals that those two thieves aren't as bad at heart as you've been lead to believe, how they love their brother, and how deep down they regret the way they've lived their lives while their brother, albeit struggling, is living an honest and noble life. To me, it's almost on-par with the Kafei and Anju sidequest for how its really beautiful and bittersweet, and it's in line with the entire tone of the game. If we were to take story beats into account, I'd rank it as one of the best masks. In fact, I ironically think that the 3DS version giving it more of an actual "purpose" detracts from its value.

[@Ihateartichokes]

Well said.

[@jacobjude6319]

The Bunny Hood mask was my go to mask in Majora’s Mask, that speed up ability was great because it didn’t use magic and it gave Link those bunny ears lol

[@weaving_that]

I've worn that mask so much that it took years to discover that the stopwatch of the postman's event disappeared. I always look for the bunny hood as fast as possible and I use it every time , so I didn't even know it.

[@examichelle]

Plus Link looks so cute with those bunny ears

[@Glory2Snowstar]

HERE WE GO!!!! I’m ecstatic to see Majora live on in such spooktacular reverence, and the masks are so fun to wear in socially awkward circumstances! Blast Mask is a personal favorite, it’s cute with the skull and shielding in the wrong direction protecting you somehow is just hilarious to me. Great Fairy looks nice as well, especially with the creepy face and flowing hair, and it saves your life in dungeons.

[@BFSDean]

I love the "I don't use potions" immediately segueing into "I always run out of magic in this part" *chefs kiss*

[@Grimsoth]

I dont think I have ever heard someone say they prefer the 3ds Giants Mask to the N64 Giants Mask, I feel like most people pick up Chateau Romani before doing stone tower as the amount of magic the light arrows take is crazy and by that point in the game you should have the Romani Mask to get into the bar.

[@THiiro]

Yeah massively agree here, first time I've ever heard someone prefer the 3DS giants mask over N64. That versions mask and fight was a DISASTER in comparison to the N64

[@DarknessDpa]

While this probably wouldn't affect rankings, I just wanted to add that the Deku spin in the Deku mask felt like a really good way of movement since it feels faster than Link just walking until you get the Bunny Hood.

[@joelmavity1467]

The magic meter for the Giant’s mask is the reason why I drink the milk that grants Magic all three days before that fight. Seems like a waste but it’s totally useful for that fight and I take it with me to the moon too.

[@joichigamemode3219]

Hey, mask of scent is powerful for blue potions, great for speed runners. Also, the bremans mask makes the ikana soldiers march, and the captains hat gives you a special cut scene when its time to fight the king. Youll need to walk up yo him while wearing the captains hat

[@HarleyMaebry]

I’m pretty sure the Garo’s Mask also makes ReDeads do the silly dances. Since you learn about that functionality from one of the Garo’s hints, I’d say Garo’s Mask gets the edge over the Gibdo Mask for telling you how to defuse that nightmare fuel AND for being a tool to actively defuse it.

[@Martypuppet]

The gibdo one makes them dance, not the garo mask

[@KurtisC93]

​@@MartypuppetNope-the Garo and Gibdo masks, as well as the Captain's Hat, all make the Ikana ReDeads dance.

[@wd.gaster4052]

In the 3DS version, theres a glitch really easy to pull off. It lets you use the fierce deity mask anywhere you want. I use it almost every time.

[@stormRed]

As someone who's never played this game, I'm always surprised at just how much content is packed within it.

[@IrvineTheHunter]

It's short but dense, it has something like a third less dungeons, and a more "streamline" design, you alwayse start from the center and attack one of the four directions, but the whole game can be built around the idea of cycling back to the start, something the open world nature^ of LoZ prevents. Even early, early games, had tons of screens patched together, almost every game focuses on branching out and going to temples on the very edge of the world, only returning to start to kill Gannon.

[@yazmenakamura6750]

Chateau Romani will be enough to help with the Giant's Mask.

[@ShaneRie123]

Neat video mate! I’ve never played majora’s mask but I am loving tears of the kingdom so far!

[@SotheBee123]

I think the couples mask is one of the prettiest mask. It's clean and has a nice sheen, and the design of it is a couple embracing which I think is neat

[@SnarkyLesbian]

Everyone I knew back then (when this came out) got the Stone Mask before Pirate's Fortress. Now admittedly because word got around, but your explanation is that you have to go out of your way to get it. You have to go out of your way for pretty much every mask (other than the required ones, and even those sometimes have backtracking). Since MM is a very open game where you are supposed to just wander sometimes, it appears to me that the Pirate's Fortress was made with the Stone Mask in mind. Years later I got the official walkthrough for it, and that one also recommends the Mask for the Fortress.

[@societyproductions]

Fun fact involving Fierce Deity being so similar to adult Link: at one point in development Link was supposed to have a mask that transformed him into his adult form. This was scrapped likely due to the fact that Link can already use most adult items. The adult mask was changed into Fierce Deity.

Considering the effort we make to obtain the Couple's Mask (especially in the N64 version where you can't skip to specific hours), it should have been a freaking overpowered transformation mask (the Giant Mask for example) , but no, you just did a very time sensitive 3-day quest for a piece of heart.

If Link got the Mario mask, it would allow him to jump at will, which would basically make him the most powerful version of Link ever. At the time, Nintendo remembered how powerful Link was in the Adventure of Link, and didn't want to unleash such a monster on the world again. so they denied him the Mario mask, in order to seal the power away until they were ready. Later, in Breath of the Wild, they finally found a Hyrule that could contain such a monster, and finally, Link was able to Jump again.

You can definitely get the stone mask in N64 version before Gerudo fortress in Great Bay

[@FieryGhast]

Once you are able to Learn Epona's Song and containing her, you can go to the fences of Ikana Canyon and you'll see a circle of rocks. Buy a potion of healing and use the Lens of Truth to talk to the soldier and give him the potion. Then finally, you can get the Stone Mask, which can be very useful when exploring the Pirates Fortress. However in the 3DS version, the invisible soldier was actually moved to Pirates Fortress, which makes it to where you're forced to pay attention to where the Pirates are so you won't get caught. Nonetheless, it's a very useful mask and its definitely worth collecting.

[@Bulblorb]

The Bunny Hood's effect in the postman game might be a refrence to the running man in oot who shares the model

[@diobrando2488]

If you are on 3DS with deity mask, you can transform into it at 100%. Simply put all your slots equipped with items that you can use such as grapping hook and bottle. You then go into camera mode, press masks, switch deity mask with an item thats usable then press B to back out. Press the camera put to put it away and the mask on at the same time. It takes a few tries, but it works even today. (if you do it in clock town, you can not leave clock town. Guards are buggy and will block you off from moving)

[@Freshy10]

3:03 You're missing the bigger picture. By completing the quest again, Cremia gives you a very nice hug, so by utilizing this mask, you'll eliminate the challenge and finish the mission with ease since the Gormon Bros. will stay passive.

[@YamatoFukkatsu]

You forgot to mention that the Garo's Mask also makes Redeads dance. Though, I think placing below the Gibdo Mask and Captain's Hat is fair, since aside from granting you access to Ikana Canyon in the first place, it doesn't really do much that those other two don't...... in fact, one might even argue that it's somewhat of a detriment compared to those two, since wearing it around Ikana effectively turns the place into an RPG random encounter zone. Still, anything that can turn the creepiest enemies in the Zelda series into a non-hostile, silly dance troupe is a massive benefit in my book.

Correction: You can get the stone mask as soon as getting Epona back, making it accessible being the Pirate's Fortress. Also, The Giant's Mask is WAY worse in the 3DS version. Like... disgustingly so. I agree that for the one time you need it, it could have done without the magic drain.

[@SonicJrandSarah]

I was thinking about doing a ranking on which mask is the easiest to get to the hardest. I would guess that the easiest would be Kafei's Mask since you just need to talk to Madame Aroma to get it without much effort (unless you are having a hard time resisting the reception lady as I do) and the hardest would be the Fierce Deity's Mask.

[@sup1602]

I like the gormans mask because there is a chance to get a face full of bosom after doing the wagon quest, and the mask makes it easier.
