I agree with the whole mind fuck part. After I had played the game, yes I loved it. What truly got me hooked though was when I started looking in to the whole story some years later, and found out all the "copied models" were supposed to mean something in itself.

I love the story and hidden messages of the game that were not pointed out, but rather hinter at and had to be thought on. The Deku shrub at the beginning of the game, the masks at the beginning of the game when Link falls down the hole, the mask itself and the dungeons themselves all show some sort of symbolism and that aone will keep me buried in text for hours. It was a work of art, I still think that this game is one of those that gets overlooked and didn't get the ratings it should have. It was under rated if you will.

That's what always happens with Nintendo, on one side it's people tired of the constant recycling and wanting something new and the other side is fine with the recycling they just want certain things recycled.

Wait, they actually explain this in-game?! I never finished it, so...

No, they did not explain it in game. They hinted at it very lightly if I recall, but they never blatantly said it. The Majora's Mask theory on this is quite long, but very interesting. The short story is that each character in Hyrule has a copy in Eterna for lack of a better word. Go look at it, the theory is really quite interesting and a good read.

Story wise it's an alternate dimension, development wise they had about a year to make a new game which also inspired the 3-day timelimit.

Yeah, it sounds more like a clever justification than a "Yeah, that was totally on purpose and we deliberately didn't make new art assets!"

One of the roomers as to why majora's mask looks so much like Oot, was that it had something to do with Ura zelda's sudden, and early cancellation.

Ura got released as Master Quest, Majora's Mask evolved out of a project called Gaiden.

CAUTION: Would anyone tell me if I was getting stupider?

That's right. Ura was gonna be an expansion for OOT and Gaiden was also gonna be a "side-story" for OOT. The reason for them not coming to be what they were is because of the 64DD (Nintendo 64 Disc Drive) being a failure. To learn more:

I love Gaming Mysteries.

I kind of wish that the DD was a success though, to see where things could have potentially ended up and gone, not just for Zelda, but for other games that would have used it.

Yuriofwind is such an awesome guy.

I actually wasn't aware the DD was even made... no wonder there were extensions at the bottom of my N64.

Most of the 64 DD games were released for the 64 but required the GamePak.

I see you guys watch Gaming Mysteries too.
It's a shame the 64DD failed it, it held so much potential. Like Earthbound 64, Zelda 64, and Super Mario 64 2.

I hope so because it looks worse.

You mean like making products over saturated in color/ super shiny to try and make it look more slick? I think I get what you're trying to say though.

It does seem a bit overdone, as far as colors goes.



That would be a pretty accurate description.

They're experimenting with effects and lighting and all sorts of stuff, wouldn't be surprised if it looked a lot different.

I hope you're right. It would be kind of annoying to have this much saturation in colors.

WW was already timeless with their art style, it didn't need any 'improvements.'

The Chronometal Wars, a fan-fiction taking place in the PPGD Universe. Catastrophe is the only certainty.

Probably gonna end up looking like Skyward Sword. After all, SS was highly influenced on WW.
