There's a conversation about Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time. I'll just say that the reason I personally didn't buy Majora's Mask at the time was because I'd moved on from the N64. Also, while I owned an N64 Ram Pak (or Jump Pak or whatever the hell it was called), many gamers didn't. Majora's Mask required it.

I still think Cyber is wrong but that's my take on why Majora's Mask didn't sell. From where I sat, most of the Zelda haters that cringed when they saw Wind Waker revealed (myself included) eventually came around by the time the game launched. Hell, I got a free copy of Ocarina of Time just for pre-ordering!

There's details being overlooked by both sides of the discussion. And with my two cents added, I'm off!

Did majora's mask come with the jump pak?  I know donkey kong did.

But i have no idea why it sold that significantly less than Ocarina.  I can guarantee it was not because of how "DIFFERENT" it was.  The average consumer would not have any idea until they bought and played it.  Only a few internet goers would know, and that % was VERY VERY SMALL back then.  remember that was 2000.  How big was internet back then?

I know Ocarina had big advertising, I recall commercials all the time.  Did majora's?
