"“The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask”: A 25th Anniversary Retrospective"​

"What happens when you take the general plot of the Groundhog Day movie, add 2 additional days, add a Halloween atmosphere and have it starring Link from the Legend of Zelda Franchise rather than Bill Murray? You end up with the 6th (mainline) video game in the Legend of Zelda Franchise and the series’ 2nd entry for the Nintendo 64, Majora’s Mask. The 2nd 3D game of the Legend of Zelda Franchise was released in North America on October 26th in the year 2000 which also makes 2025 the game’s 25th Year Anniversary.

For the sake of those who are not in the know, Majora’s Mask is a direct sequel to the 5th (mainline) game in the franchise and the series’ 1st entry for the Nintendo 64, Ocarina of Time, starring the same incarnation of Link from that game (who is also known by the title of the “Hero of Time”). This also makes Majora’s Mask the 1st game in the series to chronologically take place within the “Kid Link Branch”, one of the 3 paths of history after the events of Ocarina of Time split the franchise’s famous timeline into 3 separate branches. Following the example of the 4th (mainline) game in the franchise, Link’s Awakening, Majora’s Mask doesn’t take place in the kingdom of Hyrule with this particular game being set in a parallel dimension known as “Termina” which provides an “in-universe” explanation for the character models that are recycled from Ocarina of Time. In order to complete Majora’s Mask, Link has 3 (in-game) days to prevent the moon from crashing into Termina and he must play the Song of Time to relive these same 3 days until he succeeds in this goal."
