Forums - Nintendo - Is Majora's Mask worth buying a 3ds for?

No console is worth getting only for one game. EVER!
Luckily 3DS has plenty of great games.

Majoras Mask plays the same as Ocarina of Time as it used the same assets but the darker tale and involving side quests are what won fans over. The only thing that puts people off is the timed mechanic which isnt as harsh as it sounds.

So yeah it is a great game but to purchase a console for one game is something I can never approve of.

It's my favorite Zelda. It's dark, weird, and completely different than any other Zelda game. You have 3 in-game days before the world is destroyed and you have to play the song of time to revert back to Day 1. Certain items are lost and actions are undone if you go back in time so there is some pressure to accomplish something meaningful in that 3 day span. Also masks play an important role in the game. Certain masks transform you into other creatures with new abilities like a zora, goron, or deku scrub. All in all it is a great game with really unique features that haven't been seen in other Zelda games. In my opinion I felt like OOT was really bland, I always thought MM was the magnum opus.

I would say pick up MM and Zelda Link Between Worlds which is another solid title, and MH4 if you really want to become a no-lifer



Majora's Mask is a very good Zelda game, but I can't say that the 3DS is worthing buying just for that. Luckily, the 3DS is worth buying because it has a really diverse library of games!

If you have not played it yes you should get it. I am not. I have one on vc and before that I beat it on n64. I did get ocarina on 3ds but I didn't have the n64 one so that was the only reason I have that.



its a unique experience but it wont wow everyone.
me personally? quite possibly my favorite game of all time.

I recommend you to better use the GC disk you have, or at least looks for some vids at youtube. After that, you can decide.

Never buy console for just one game. Check the library of games and see if some interest you! If you can find 5 or 6 games that you want to play then go ahead.

No, don't spend that amount of money on one game, save your pennies. But if you really are interested, you should look around and see if there's anything else on it that appeals to you, the 3DS has a huge library of excellent games. There's some hidden gems that kind of went under the radar.



yes....

simple and easy!



Switch!!!

Yes! At least it's a good 'trigger' to get a 3DS.

3DS has a great library of games which combined are a very good reason to get a 3DS. I can honestly say I haven't liked a handheld this much since playing pokemon my GB color as a kid.
