Can I Just Hide My Face: THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: MAJORA'S MASK

WHOOPS!
I wonder if anyone else who reads the blogpost prior to this one will realize what a huge mistake I made, I left out a key remake that I actually wanted to have remade longer, and desperately want to play, and may well do so in the near future: Majora's Mask! Come on now Caleb, isn't that rather obvious?

TITLE: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D
Old...New!

Okay, here we go, that game that I already have two posts about, why not tackle a third? Mechanics of the game, covered. Possible secret lore of the game...covered. So let's just tackle the sheer impact it had...wait...that's covered...sort of.

Anyway, this is one of THOSE games. Those games that I feel like were essential to growing up, like Kingdom Hearts and frickin' Banjo-Kazooie...wait...Kingdom Hearts didn't make my list? What's wrong with me?! It's like...I could do a whole second list on these games or something-hint hint. Onward, Majora's Mask is the quintessential Zelda title for me, sure, Ocarina of Time had more dungeons, a more complex set of items, and possibly a deeper story, but I just spent more time in Majora's Mask and frankly I feel like it actually challenged me less, while still being semi-difficult. I mean, not Dark Souls, don't misunderstand that, this is a pretty straight-forward game, easy enough to beat in four or five sittings if you don't want to complete the entire game, or even a single sitting according to speed-runners.



I actually just looked up a play-through of the new 3D game, and it seems to maintain the same wondrous feel of the original, and the graphics are delightfully well-updated. Not cell-shaded either, I can't explain my hatred for Wind Waker, but I do, and it's art style sticks with me as a sign of a bad Zelda game. So, it should be noted that I don't have a particular love of 3D, in fact I generally hate it, and I despise it on the 3DS. But, the graphic update itself appears to be worth it.

Did I mention I actually still own the original version of this game? Well not still own, I recently picked it up from Replays, and have started a 100% play-through, which you cannot view on youtube because my capture card won't capture it! I may have to get a new capture card and retry -_- at which point of course it'll hit the youtubez. Love it, just love it.

Can I rate this? Please? Cool:

RATING:
Nine out of Ten distressed souls trapped in masks would give this Six masks of enormous power, out of Five.

There, I rated it! This game is amazing and I simply cannot wait to pick up the 3DS remake, but even without that, I'm still going to enjoy the heck out of the original game.
