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

The reason it sold so poorly was because the game needed an extension pack to be able to play it. Plus it arrived very late in the 64's life. Also if I'm not mistaken, hasn't Majoras Mask sold more than Wind Waker.

WW sold more than 4m, and MM sold less than that...
