The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask Retrospective | Against All Odds

[@PGReviews_]

There is apparently a mod for Majora's Mask 3D called "Project Restoration" that restores some of the mechanics from the original to create a more definitive version of the game. Credit to @mfdez920 for letting me know! I have added a link to the project page in the description.

[@V1CT1MIZED]

I'm just about to play majora 3d on an emulator, so thanks for this

[@NuggetsAutomotive]

Project restoration makes a HUGE difference. Makes MM3DS the definitive version of the game

[@josiahtheobald689]

How did skull kid look offensive in the original game?

[@DutchGio]

@@NuggetsAutomotive This, Project Restoration is the best thing for MM3D. Few weeks ago I went back to do MM3D 100%, the time difference is HUGE.

[@Chronoflation]

I downloaded this. It's awesome! The mod is awesome and really makes the game all around better

[@SeanLaMontagne]

Imagine convincing your boss to let you lead a project for the first time, and you turn it into one of the most iconic games in the whole series.

[@vermillionaether]

For sure! It's honestly astounding how good this game turned out.

[@JJ_5289]

And to get the project done in a very short amount of time. That amazes me how quickly they developed this game and yet it stands on its own apart from ocarina

[@stephenchurch1784]

On a, for the time, super crunched schedule to boot

[@LordMalice6d9]

The very fact that a game like Majora's mask even exists in the first place is a miracle!

[@wilhufftarkin8543]

And, most of all, to get it greenlit!

[@TheBeird]

I can't decide between Ocarina and Majora! The first is like playing through a Tolkien adventure, but Majora is like a Lewis Carrol yarn. Both are equally brilliant.

[@vermillionaether]

This is such an great set of comparisons. Well done, and I totally agree!

[@jaretco6423]

I prefer Majora's Mask myself. But I'll admit without Ocarina of Time being successful, we wouldn't have MM.

[@currentdeadbydaylightplayer]

Majora

[@SunChipss]

@@jaretco6423this. Also, I find Majora’s Mask more Tim Burton-esque.

[@jaretco6423]

@SunChipss Yes. Personally, I found Majora having better structure, the designs of the overworld, dungeons and other levels, more challenging, atmosphere, NPC & story and combined with the time traveling, mask and other mechanics introduced in the game, is also better paste. Ocarina can be overwhelming, an chore and piss easy alot of times for me.

[@NintendoHero]

Majora's Mask has such a dark and unique tone, and nothing will ever match it. The story is one of the richest with such serious themes, and the mask transformations are just amazing. This game is proof that creativity often thrives while under strict restrictions. They had such a short development time that they ended up getting really smart and creative with so many of the game elements. Terrific retrospective! You always go so in depth and really capture the spirit of each game you cover.

[@phillystevesteak6982]

Say that to resident evil 3. And also the re3 remake. Both games were given the same treatment of a super tight deadline to churn out a similar quality product to the predecessor. Both failed.

[@Finozzi96]

@@phillystevesteak6982 the difference is that the original RE3 is considered a very good game, while the remake is considered crappy and underwhelming.

[@phillystevesteak6982]

@@Finozzi96 The original re3 is considered good not great. It's certainly the black sheep sandwiched between 2 masterpieces: re2 and re4

[@shaankelly1302]

Best Zelda game for me. I love the darkness, and not just dark for a Nintendo game but geuninely dark. The scene with the father daughter and turning him back to a human made me cry. The sidequests are top tier due to the time limit. Everyone is afarid of dying, people are coping in different and realistic ways. Its amazing. The main game is the side game. And the main game is great to begin with as well. I wish more Zeldas got as dark and weird as this. I have almost nothing to complain about in this game. Its near perfect. I love the updates to the bombers notebook in the 3ds remake which ultimately makes it my preferred choice as it outweighs the nerfed deku and zora movement. But man what a classic. The mask powers are all great and varied as well. Great mechanics with a crazy emotional and dark story and great dungeons and sidequests. 12/10 game one of my fav games of all time

[@ZaZen___]

The end credits showing everyone doing well, imo is just an amalgamation of all the positive outcomes but the reality is that there wasn't enough time to help everyone all in one cycle, which solidifies MM as a tragedy. This is such a hard reality of life of not feeling like there is enough time to do everything and while many play games to escape such realities, having a game go there is deep art. Also not having enough time to do everything provides so much more meaning to who gets helped by Link, and also what one chooses to do with the limited time they have in their own lives.

[@MichaelRothschild-yg3hx]

It's very similar to the storyline of Alice and wonderland if you see how link falls down the hole and is transported into a different unique world

[@BrandynQuigley]

The most underrated aspect of this game, is that 100% completion takes about 32 hours and the majority of that is all unique experiences/gameplay. You repeat minigames at most twice. You ride around on horseback shooting targets twice. Theres like one instance of a rail shooter sequence. The puzzles are all generally unique, apart from "kill everything in the room". Enemies are repeated but there is a decent variety and the repetition isnt that bad. I could go on... But its 32 hours of gameplay that's not repetitive, unlike so many of the massive content games of today. 100%ing this game is actually fun, even the tedious side quests are fun and the most memorable.

[@jv_novello]

I'm happy Chuggaaconroy's let's plays still get so much love. Especially his playthrough of this game, help me with my hesitation with this game as well. Now, I love this freaking game! One of my favorite Zelda games. All thanks to Chugga! Well for the most part.

[@LordMalice6d9]

Chugga loves the game right?

[@Kohana64]

Aside from BOTW, this one's probably my favorite of the 3D Zeldas. Great dungeons, great mechanics, and a great story. I'm happy that you did the game justice in this video

[@Skuttleskull]

Majora is my favorite 3d zelda. i seriously have been through the process of putting it down out of frustration, picking it up again and smashing it. if games dont frustrate you with a good challenge then they arent worth playing. ive played every single zelda title. most multiple times. This game stands firmly on top. an absolute masterpiece.

[@32-Volt]

Chuggaaconroy is responsible for why I am now a Pikmin fan and hearing that he was at least somewhat responsible for your Majoras Mask replay really does speak to his dedication in making his LPs

[@PGReviews_]

He's one of my biggest inspirations! He's the reason I tried out games like Paper Mario, EarthBound, Xenoblade, and Pikmin as well!

[@wolfpack_104]

Ah yes one of my favorite Zelda titles. Probably my favorite dungeons/atmosphere in the series. Glad to see it getting a lot of love.

[@blankgonzalez896]

Majora's Mask is easily my favorite Zelda game. Been a fan since A Link to the Past and have played the first Zelda game. It is really ominous and emotional. I love all the masks. Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Wind Waker are the golden Era of The Legend of Zelda series imo.

[@SeanLaMontagne]

My head Cannon for the hero's shield is that Link requested 2 things from Zelda before departing on his journey. 1 - A Hylian Shield made smaller to fit his little kid body. Link lost too many Deku Shields over his adventure to save Hyrule, and was very fond of his Hylian Shield, but was frustrated with how big it was on his kid body. Thus, a One of a Kind Hylian Shield was forged and named after the Hero for whom it was designed for. His second request - Epona. Simple enough, Talon leaves it up to Malon since Epona is her horse, and Malon trusts (and marries in some fan theories) Link, so she gives Epona over to him. Then before Link finally departs Hyrule, Zelda gives him one more thing. The Ocarina of Time.

[@NoxideActive]

There is so much to love and share about this game and everyone has a perspective I find interesting. When I get really into it, I can talk for hours about the game, theories behind not just the lore but the development team and their process for creating such a gem. A game like Majora's Mask I think is a product of the dev teams environment, their place in that moment of time and you are right in saying that attempts to recreate a similar situational is near impossible. Great retrospective, I hope to listen to more.

[@Anths_art]

33:07 dude the stone mask saved me so much time and frustration in that one room in stone tower temple where you have to goron punch those pillars and then use the mirror shield to guide the light from 2 mirrors to the sun block at the end of the room all while avoiding enemies. Stone mask makes em completely ignore you i felt like a genius

[@mccuish]

I just finished playing it recently and still love it. It's still my all time favorite Zelda game and my favorite game I owned on the N64.

[@LordMalice6d9]

I don't blame you. Majora's Mask is amazing.

[@fernandodamas8533]

As someone who loves the fan theory that The Hero of Time and Malon end up together and that is why The Hero of Twilight ends up in a farming village as one of the helpers. I always saw the Cremia, Anju and Kafei's relationships as what i expected the Malon, Zelda and Link relationship to have been. Cremia who loved Kafei but never had the courage to say it and by that point it was to late as Kafei had already proposed to Anju, Cremia's best friend. I know it is not 1 to 1 as Malon and Zelda weren't friends but i am sure they both fell for the boy in the Green Tunic.

[@franceskinho1989]

Yes, it absolutely is a masterpiece of a game, wonderful. So many references are taken from authors such as Wilde and Pirandello with the masks etc, I wonder if the authors knew or maybe in Japanese literature there are similar sources of inspiration, regarding who we are really are or what is our real essence. Wonderful. But come on the doggy race is so damn cute and nice to watch😂

[@JayTea345]

Majora's Mask is my favorite game of all time. It's the game that made me fall in love with games as an art form.

[@sketchyecchiakechi]

This is such a comfort game to me, which is odd because it's designed to be very off-putting, but my nostalgia for the game and the surreal, dream-like nature of Termina just envelops me every playthrough. Clock Town might as well be my gaming home.

[@lemmykoopa1379]

Honestly, I’ve never really been all that into Zelda, not even Ocarina of Time (mainly cuz I sucked at it big time), but unlike many people, Majora’s Mask actually brought me INTO the series as I respected its darker tone and wanted to see it through. I still haven’t beaten the game but I’m happy this is now my gateway into the series. I’ve already played a little bit of Wind Waker HD but my WiiU stopped working so when it released on the Nintendo 64 Nintendo Switch Online Service it was the perfect gateway into the Zelda franchise for me.

[@LordMalice6d9]

Majora's Mask is definitely not an easily accessible Zelda game for most people to be introduced to for the series, mostly because people can be turned off from its time limit gimmick.

There is one game that can immerse you as much as majora’s mask and it’s Link’s awakening. Every npc in this game feels alive and is so interesting, the world you explore and the characters you meet are all real in a way and that’s why the ending is so crushing to me. Majora’s mask has a good ending where you do save everybody in termina so I was happy to have saved all of these people, but link’s awakening consistently makes me cry. It is the best Zelda game.

[@9998thegrimeater]

man I've barely played any Zelda games but your videos are fucking amazing. Great voice, great writing, amazing cozy vibes. Man I love hearing ppl talk about things they're passionate for lol.

[@WretchedRedoran]

Fun Fact! When I was much younger, my brother had Majora's Mask 3D on his 3DS, and I had a savefile of my own but I never beat the game. Do you wanna know why? Well, when I to the swamp with the lily pads you have to hop over, I tried to spin skip across the water to the first lily pad, and I tried over and over and over again but for the life of me I couldn't get to that lily pad. So I assumed I wasn't supposed to go there yet, that I was missing an item or something, and I moved on. I tried searching for the way to progress through the game properly, but as I just couldn't figure out where the hell to go, I eventually got bored and put the game down for good. Yeah... Majora's Mask 3D's changes definitely made the game way more beginner friendly... I really wish I could've gotten to play through Majora's Mask at that young age, too, but it seemed fate had different plans for me.

[@markgill346]

Really??🤣 i feel like Ive seen that every time i hear anyone talk about mm3ds

[@GunsAndOctane]

@@Anths_art Fair enough. Every other retrospective I've seen overlooks it. In all fairness it's a small addition that doesn't outright ruin the game obviously but it's definitely something I can't deny irritates me. MM3d just brings the original into Nintendos fading Hand Holding era (in the shadow of Skyward Sword) and just has no faith in the player to figure it out, other than to just stick a glaring irrelevant eye ball on the literal back of something.

[@RealAlphaDrum]

I want the next mainline Zelda game to be MM2. Or a spiritual sequel of sorts, that spans perhaps, 14 days.

[@skatepark02]

This was the first game I ever bought when it was first released. To this day it is not only my favourite Zelda, but possibly my favourite game ever.

[@lonecom685]

Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask are two sides of the same coin in my opinion. I think there was the need for an Ocarina of Time to exist so that a Majora's Mask could come later and subvert the expectations created by the older title. I still prefer Ocarina, as I find it to be better in terms of actual gameplay and fun factor, but there's no doubt in my mind that Majora's Mask has the better characters and story. Majora's Mask is like The End of Evangelion. Melancholic and agonizing in its visuals, but with a hopeful and beautiful message.

[@FizzyFizze]

Majora's Mask is honestly such a good game. If I was given the choice to either play Oot or MM, I'd choose MM in a heartbeat. The beat sidequest is the quest to get the couple's mask. An extremely indepth side quest that i absolutely adore to complete. Coming in second is the quest to get the Milk Bar mask. I dont care for the mask, I just want the reward for completing the quest again

[@moskbarto9436]

The quality of your videos is exceptional! And I love the sound your voice.

[@jamesprimmer355]

I failed the intro to Majora's Mask probably 5 times. I was frustrated but... Looking back on it, I don't know how I didn't figure it out sooner. I had a lot on my plate as a 9 year old kid family-wise, and I wasn't used to NPCs dialogue being actually important. I hadn't played an RPG yet save Pokemon Red, which doesn't hint at all, it just tells you what to do. That aside, I persevered and found a FANTASTIC game behind this strange test of entry. :) Probably my 3rd favourite game of all time. Incredible they managed to put it out in such a small amount of time.

[@Thor-Orion]

28:50 My head canon is that Link returns to Hyrule and marries Malon because of his experience with Cremia and Romani.

[@solaris9426]

About the Fierce Deity and whether it's good or evil, the mask is just called "Kishin no Kamen" in the Japanese version. a Kishin is, in Japanese folklore and mythology, a minor deity who enacts just and righteous vengeance for those who have been wronged. So someone like Majora, who cannot see why its actions are bad, would consider Fierce Deity Link (or Kishin Link in Japanese) to be the bad guy.

[@DavidRYates-tk2tq]

It's funny, when I was a kid, I thought that the shield protecting you from Blast Mask damage made PERFECT sense. I didn't see any problem with it at all!

It took me like a week to finish this video because Everytime I watched it I was like f it and went and played the game

[@rmsgrey]

For me, personally, I consider MM3D to be a net improvement over the original, but that's in direct contrast to Ocarina 3D, which I consider to be unambiguously definitive. The thing that bugs me most is the swimming changes - in addition to the things mentioned in the video, there are two more downsides to the 3D version: swimming at top speed smears the electric blue overlay over a chunk of the screen, making it even harder to maneuver precisely at top speed because you can't see what's coming anywhere near as clearly; and there are places in the game that still require you to perform sustained sections of precision maneuvering at top speed (the beaver races and the lunar mini-dungeon) without having had the practice to get used to it during the rest of the game. In other words, their response to the complaints that the swimming was too hard were to make high-speed swimming even harder, give you strong reasons not to practice it, and then still make it required in order to 100% the game... To be fair, it is now almost entirely optional (you do need to flip it on briefly in order to smash underwater barriers in a few places), so players who can't handle it can still get most of the game (though they do have to do the harder version of the final boss fight since they won't get the Fierce Deity Mask).

[@Khalith]

I had a strategy guide for this game. That’s the only reason I was able to get through it. So many times I got stuck or couldn’t complete something in the time limit. Otherwise I probably would have given up.

[@SayisSpeakin]

Okay so I actually like and prefer the upgraded models and textures for Majora's Mask 3D I just think they made the lighting too bright. BUT! I understand why they brightened up the lighting. The original size of the 3DS screen is so small, I can't even imagine how difficult it would be to make out certain things if they had kept the darker shadows in game.

[@luckysniper1659]

I'll have to replay it I've restarted it a few times over the years but haven't played it all the way through since I was a kid. I didn't hate the game. Didn't love it either more like.

i have such mixed feelings about the changes that MM3D made to the song of double time. on one hand, i definitely can't deny that it's a huge quality of life improvement, especially to returning players. but on the other hand, having to wait for a certain time to talk to someone or witness an event always encouraged me to explore the game more, and maybe even discover something new by talking to someone at a time i normally wouldn't have bothered

[@chocolatekake]

I never got a chance to buy this for N64, though I was able to borrow it from a friend and beat it. I finally got to own it as part of the Collector's Edition on GC, and I loved playing it yearly (for 6 years), along with all the other 3D games (and FSA). Every time, I most look forward to the whole Goron section. Except the race. I really wanted to try getting all the different fish in the 3DS version, but I looked up the requirements and...yeah, no. I'm also not a fan of Zelda 64 fishing, I just don't get it.

Absolute best Zelda game ever made. But god the 3DS version actively angers me even after playing Project Restoration. Next to none of what was changed actually needed changing. Looking directly at the Bomber that got moved to the Laundry Pool from West Clock Town. But the N64 version, despite its three shortcomings (archery, dog racing and Ikana Well) is phenomenal. Btw, when you fight the Wizzrobe in a place with a map the map shows you where the real one is. It's a very simple process once you realise.

MM redux is the perfect balance. Only thing is it still has the n64 shit aiming, gyro aiming on 3DS is so clean

@@TheBBCSlurpee Never heard of it, but I maintain that the original with all its mechanics intact is definitive tbh

[@TheBBCSlurpee]

@@infinitygames9317 it’s just a patch for the original that adds minor stuff like transformation masks on dpad, original def holds up tho

As a kid I hated deku link. Can’t even hurt most enemies with that spin. No one takes him seriously, not even the other deku. As an adult, I love deku link. I felt like an underdog who had no business saving the world, but would have to be clever to do so. Zelda style boss battle gimmicks make so much sense when you’re a deku scrub that can’t fight head on easily. I want to play a whole game as the little scrub that could.

As someone who got Majora's Mask day 1 for n64 and still has it nicely displayed of my shelf i can say with full confidence while it looks very good the crappy changes and brain dead bosses ruined it so FUCK THE REMAKE!!!(Gets up goes and hooks up the old N64 and starts playing Majora's Mask for the 100th or so time).
