Looking at the poll, I have to ask: What makes MM so special? I've never played it myself, but people here seem to LOVE it. WTF? It never did sell to well, and suddenly people just love it??

Majora's Mask is a really great game. I would only rank Ocarina and A Link to the Past ahead of it -- it's that good.

It's probably destined to be forever in the shadow of Ocarina, but it actually improves upon that game in some important areas: play control being one of them, and also graphics. I know the 72-hour timeline turns off some fans, but I think it's the best hook in the series.

In any event, I recommend you play it when you have the opportunity. It's a special game.

Yeah, I'll try to play it whenever I can! It's just weird, that, if it is all this great (that people say it is) how come it didn't sell well to begin with?? It must be the worst selling home console Zelda ever... Maybe with the exeption of Link's Adventure

Most people (myself included when I was a kid) was expecting a similar game to Ocarina of Time, needless to say, the two games are somewhat very different. I remember when I was a kid I couldn't get pass the first dungeon in the game without restarting time (didn't knew how to slow down time) and that just pissed me off.

Years later I decided to give the game another shot and I like it a lot more, the stories of the people who are about to die are really touching and that's what makes the game for me. I know a lot of people who are in the same situation as me: hate it as a kid, but love it now. So I guess the game didn't sold well because most OoT fans didn't like it and thus the "bad news" spread across gamers. 

Hmmm sounds interesting! I guess I had a similar beef with WW when it was announced; it looked way too cartoonish for me, so I didn't bother. Now, on the other hand, I'm really looking forward to the remake!!
