We've had a thread like this for tons of series. Let's just focus on one game now. Has anybody here besides me played Majora's Mask? Opinions on it?

I played it. It was fun and all, and I enjoyed a lot out of it. I liked the ideas that went into that, too.

I also loved the alien part. That was fun. icon_razz.gif

That part was creepy as hell. I remember getting nightmares the first time through...

To me, the best boss was Odowala, followed by the Stone tower and Ocean temple ones (which I'm too lazy to look up their names XD). Goht was just annoying, with the bombs littered everywhere.

I though Goht was fun. I just got annoying because I had to fight him once, go back in time, fight him again, to unfeeze everything to reforge my sword, then beat him again because I forgot to get a powder keg license. icon_smile.gif

I didn't think the alien part was too creepy. It was actually kind of funny, especially if you loose and they abduct the cows.

My favorite level was definitely the Stone Tower. The whole tower flipping over was an amazing idea.

Goht wasn't too bad for me, either. A little annoying, but nothing overtly annoying.

I agree on the cow abducting. That was pretty funny. icon_razz.gif

Stone Tower was indeed awesome. Also had one of my favourite dungeons songs in Zelda.

Stone Tower's on the top of multiple favorite lists of mine. Favorite video game level, favorite video game music, favorite video game level gimmick, etc. There wasn't a single bad thing about that level. It even made you use all four Link forms.

MM was a masterpiece. It was scarry from the very beginning on. I was so confused the first time playing it. Everything happend out of my control, I was forced to be that Deku and stuff. And than, the more quest status I got, the more it bacame logically. The stray fairy gathering was pretty fun. The dungeons were amazing. I loved it. And those references to OoT! The music! One of the best Zelda games. Period.

The references to OoT was nice. It was almost like they took most of the elements from OoT and rearranged them into a completely different setting.

And they're called Spread Farries Germany? In the US version, they were called Stray Farries. I guess it's just another localization thing. icon_shrug.gif

OoT and MM were, at one time, going to be the same game. MM would've been an add-on, using the disk system add-on, I think. There would've been 7 days, etc. It goes back to all the times OoT was delayed and delayed again.

I know your frustration. I was getting ready to throw my controller through the TV yesterday when I realized I forgot to go back to the Goron and get my license.

That part's awesome. The music's just plain epic there. And depressing.

Has anybody besides me beaten the Kaifa and Anju sidequest? That one's really fun, and really depressing.

I played through the game and even posted the playthrough on youtube. (http://www.youtube.c...71C1B80A31691B7)

I liked Stone Tower Temple, but the only thing I didn't like was getting up that freaking tower. I had to play that one song like fifteen times.

Ah, the Elegy of Emptiness. I like that song.. Very depressing. Fits the feel of the Stone Tower pretty well. Although I think it's stupid that the Deku statue it makes can't hold down a switch.

We've pretty thoroughly hashed over MM in my opinion, but for those who missed it-

MM is, IMHO, the greatest game in the series. The whole thing plays like some sort of warped dream. It outclasses OOT (which was what it was compared to, back in the day ) in its plot, which is highly appealing to me, and in its gameplay, which offers more of a challenge than OOT ever thought about. Many complain about the three-day system, but I thought it was highly unique. Many also complain about the side quests, but those just add to the detail.

But overall what did I like about the game? The mystery. The game leaves so many questions, particularly about Ikana Kingdom and the Stone Tower. I am so intrigued with these two subjects that I'd love to see a quest on them (I know there will never be a game from Nintendo). Sadly, to my knowledge, that hasn't happened.
