IGN

The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D proves that interesting game design and strong world-building never get old. Even 15 years later, it still delivers charming characters, tense resource management, and a world rife with personality. Despite some cumbersome menus and a single drag of a dungeon, Majora’s Mask is a great adventure that (repeatedly) stands the test of time.

8.7 Great
  • +Weird, weird, weird
  • +Great time mechanics
  • +Memorable characters
  • +Unique boss fights
  • Great Bay Temple

POLYGON

Even with the safety net of a revised save system, Majora's Mask still feels like the franchise's uncharacteristically dark and dangerous off-shoot. The game wasn't just ahead of its time when it first launched 15 years ago; it's still ahead of its time today. This remake carries a level of polish and consideration that Nintendo excels at, but it's the old stuff — the three-day structure, the inescapable gloom, the non-linearity — that remains its most exciting feature.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D is the best version of a game that’s still unlike any other game ever made. And that makes this remake something very few remakes are: Unconditionally fresh.

9.0

GAMESPOT

The overall package for Majora's Mask 3D preserves all the weird delight of the original game while lowering the barrier of entry for new players. There's still a lot that's challenging about the puzzles and fights, but a few minor tweaks make your hard-won heart containers and masks feel that much more satisfying. The changes to how you can control and manage time mean the otherwise dense Majora's Mask is comfortable for shorter play sessions, making it a great fit for the handheld. It's evident that Nintendo put a lot of thought into updating this classic, which takes the game beyond a simple remake to become a new-old classic.

The Good
  • More comprehensive quest log more easily keeps track of things
  • New Song of Double Time lets you move forward individual hours
  • New Nintendo 3DS C-stick makes camera control more fluid
  • Tweaked battles and item locations make gameplay feel fresh
The Bad
  • Camera control is clunky on older 3DS models



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

I guess the Great Bay Temple just had too much water for them.


I'll just go now...



By the time I post this comment, somebody will mention something about IGN, the Great Bay Temple, and their dislike of water.



Love and tolerate.

i am impressed and excited now.



Switch!!!

And now everyone's going to flip and blablablah. Personally, I don't even find this thread worthy. I mean, I've heard a lot of people reviewing or discussing the original say that one dungeon sucks major balls. And the game still got a very good score.



Dang it IGN. Great Bay is my 2nd favorite temple. Simpletons afraid of too much water.
