What can I say? It's Zelda. Ocarina of Time introduced "new" Zelda players to the land of Hyrule, to Link and Princess Zelda, and to the evil thief Ganondorf. But this game is not a typical Zelda game, whereas it takes place not in Hyrule, but another land. The only other game to do that was Link's Awakening for Game Boy. But the game is not any less exciting.
The graphics are excellent, taking what Ocarina of Time had and making it better. Animation is as fluent as Ocarina of Time as well. A lot of the music was taken from the last game, too, while some of the music is brand new. You'll also hear the Zelda theme song, which was unfortunately not in the last game.
Remember the masks in Ocarina of Time? Well, wearing masks is an important part of the game. Especially with three masks you'll be receiving thoughout the game: the Deku Scrub mask, the Goron mask, and the Zora mask. With these three masks, you are able to turn into what each mask represents. Other masks help you too, even though they don't transform Link's body.
Helping people out is also a big part of the game. Talk with as many people as you can, and help them with their problems. You'll probably receive special items when doing so.
Probably the most unique part of the game is the three-day period. You have three days (that's roughly a little over an hour of playing time) to do whatever you intend to do, but you'll have to play your ocarina (before the moon crashes into the planet) to travel back in time. Just like in the last game, Link can travel through time. Into the future or the past, but within the three days you are given.
This is a must-have game, but you'll have to have the 4MB Expansion Pak to play the game, just like Donkey Kong 64. But getting the Expansion Pak is a small price for how much adventuring you're going to get out of this game.
GOOD: Excellent Graphics, Three Transformations With Unique Abilities, Tons of Stuff to Look For
BAD: Only Two Save Slots, There's No Adult Link
Majora's Mask
