5 years ago, you'd go online and people would barely mention it in their top 5 Zeldas, and when it came out many Zelda fans were disappointed a bit.
I know Wind Waker eventually grew a huge fanbase when people finally accepted the graphics, but Majora's Mask's fanbase kinda came out of nowhere. It's like one year it became super popular. I think it's a great game still, but it kinda reminds me that one time when everyone was like "Final Fantasy VI is way better than VII!" out of nowhere as well.
I would say it's nostalgia, but when I read the comments a lot of people didn't play it back when it came out (I did by the way!). Plus, wouldn't they also be nostalgic for Ocarina of Time? It was way more popular and came out only 2 years before. Maybe it's the darker story perhaps?
I don't know, what do you guys think? What has made Majora's Mask so popular recently?
By the way I am excited for the 3DS remake too I haven't played it since it came out in 2000 and I am getting kinda nostalgic about it as well. I forgot most of the game. On the other hand I have beaten Ocarina of Time once every year since I first beat it in 1999. I consider Ocarina the greatest game of all time (and my only 11/10).
