Yessssss I can't overstate this enough! I'm watching a friend play through the game now actually, who hasn't played it before, and they think that it's a wonderfully crafted world with a beautiful story. And yet, they don't even know half of the hidden stuff yet =p

Video game narratives could learn a lot from Majora's Mask. Even all these years later it's hard to find a popular video game that more appropriately uses it's medium for a story. Majora's Mask already works as a great story, but it's elevated to god tier status BECAUSE of it's medium and not despite it. Truly amazing, I can't believe how connected you feel to the world when playing it. 

Metroid Prime 2 was pretty good from what I remember too but I didn't even come close to finishing it. and I never got into Xenoblade 

This is exactly what my friend feels too, playing the game xD it's super apparently to him, because being a game from 2001 without all of the modern bells and whistles, what you're describing is pretty clear overall. The feeling of being connected to the world of Termina is one of the best parts of the whole game for sure!
