Majora's Mask is the sixth installment in The Legend of Zelda series and the second using 3D graphics, the first being The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the game's predecessor. Majora's Mask is set in Termina, an alternate version of the usual series setting of Hyrule, where the Skull Kid has stolen Majora's Mask, a powerful ancient artifact. Under its influence, the Skull Kid causes the land's moon to slowly fall towards Termina, where it crashes after three days. The main protagonist Link repeatedly travels back in time to the beginning of the three days to find a way to stop the moon from destroying the planet.
The gameplay is centered on the perpetually repeating three-day cycle and the use of various masks, some of which allow Link to transform into different beings. Link learns to play several melodies on his ocarina, which have a variety of effects like controlling the flow of time or opening passages to four temples, which house challenges Link must overcome.
wow, sounds super fun and original! who doesn't like playing the same 3 days over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over (not sure how many overs are in the game, but im sure its lots) also, why didn't link warp back to before the kid was born and stab his mom in the face?
The series consists of 16 official games on all of Nintendo's major consoles, as well as several spin-offs
and seriously? 16 games and they are still remaking the 12 year old ones?
