168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Legend of Zelda series is massive. Sure, there's the mass hype behind the Breath of the Wild sequel, but many of the games stand as wonderful testaments to Nintendo's developers. Almost all of them have aged gracefully, with wonderful music, dungeons, and gameplay to this day. But Majora's Mask is something special.
Building off the bones of Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask has the moon appear with a cataclysmic omen of destruction, and Link only has three repeating days to save everyone. You have to repeat those days plenty of times over to see everything, especially since so many of the stellar quests are so interwoven.
10 🥂 Toilet Hand 🏅
In the wonderful hub of Clock Town, there are so many quests available from ꦦthe get-go that it may seem overwhelming. There are robberies, postmen, fairies, and so much more. But this freaky little hand that only appears at midnight in the Stock Pot Inn demanding Toilet Paper is one of the most ꦬmemorable.
On the midnight of each night, this hand demands toilet paper, rewarding Link with a heart piece when he offers the paper. Thing is, the only suitable pieces of paper Link can get are either title deeds needed to get other heart pieces or a letter essential to another quest. You may be literally forsaking one of the best questౠs to give this odd hand some much-needed paper. At least you can rewind.
9 Pꦅostman Training𝓡
A classic feature of many Zelda games (and plenty inspired by Zelda, too) are races against an NPC across some stretch of land. Usually, they require intimate knowledge of the area and your tools to get an optimum time and a reward to boot. In Majora's Mask, the Postman of Clock Town fills this role.
When he's not busy making deliveries, he's training in his room. When Link cares to question what he's doing, he states he's imagining himself running for exactly 10 seconds and challenges Link to do the same. The clock is invisible, meaning you have to guess (unless you have the bunny hood). Your first try is rewarded with a heart piece, and you get 50 rupees every time afterward.
8 🐻 Cucco Shack Chicks 🗹
The wonderfully iconic Romani Ranch is home to one of the best side quests in Majora's Mask, as well as the Doggy Racetrack and the Cucco Shack. At the shack, Link can find Grog, a man who almost welcomes the impending moon since he hates people. His only regret is not being able to see his Cuccos grow up.
With the use of the Bremen mask, Link can rectify this. With the mask on, Link can begin a song and dance and the chicks will follow him in formation like the Pied Piper. Once they've all joined the march, they suddenly grow up to full Cuccos, and Grog rewards you with a heart piece. He can even be seen playing with them during the credits.
7 Frog Choir ♓
In typical Zelda fashion, there has to be a quest dedicated to music. And though Majora's Mask has plenty of reverence for music through its Zora band that Link inexplicably becomes a member of, the Frog Choir is... well it's a choir of frogs. That's pretty outstanding.
Begun in the Mountain Village after the Spring returns, a stray frog informs Link that their choir was meant to convene, but couldn't because of the winter. Donning the mask of Don Gero, Link can reunite the lost frogs from across Termina and conduct the Frog Choir himself, earning a heart piece for his efforts.
6 𓃲 Buried Treasure Of Ikana
Throughout Link's journey, he will enter the graveyard of Ikana where many Stalchildren patrol. However, after acquiring the Captain's Hat, the Stalchildren will view you as their leader, and on each night will allow you to dig up the grave they're patrolling. Morbid for sure, but apparently Link doesn't oppose grave robbing.
💛Though digging up the first grave is essential for the story, the next two are optional, and filled with treasures. The second pits you into a new area filled with invisible enemies, obstacles, and finally a🧔n Iron Knuckle to defeat for a heart piece. On the third, Link meets Dampé beneath the graves and must guide him around before ultimately fighting a Big Poe for a heart piece (or bottle in the original).
5 ꧅ The Gilded Sword 🐓
The Master Sword is an essential part of the Zelda series, being the sword that seals darkness and all. It's Link's primary weapon in just about every game. But in Majora's mask, the sword is hidden away in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Temple of Time, meaning Link has to rely on r💟egular swords and upgrade them throughout the game.
The Kokiri sword can be upgraded at the mountain smithy, though will still break over time. However, it can be upgraded further with gold dust, which can only be acquired from winning the Goron Races, which themselves are well hidden. Though Link has to survive 24 hours without the sword, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Gilded Sword is a wondrous reward.
4 Postman's Peril
Central to Majora's Mask is the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:inevitable march of time. It will re♒ach its end, and the only reprieve is to reset the cycle. On one hand, this makes it easy to rectify mistakes and bring back new equipment with you for e𝐆arly days, while also causing you to lose certain items and quest progress if you missed a crucial event.
Postman's Peril is one of these quests, running parallel with Madame Aroma's Search and Anju & Kafei's quest. However, while Anju & Kafei's quest can still be completed, Postman's Peril and Madame Aroma's are mutually exclusive, with you letting the postman deliver a final letter so he can flee Clock Town. You'll be rewarded with his hat.
3 ܫ Protecting Romᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚani Ranch
Like any good Zelda game, Romani Ranch is home to a great many horses (most typically Epona) and some great milk. Majora's Mask is no different in that regard. Where it does differ is in, well, the alien invasions. Though you'll need the Blast Mask to get there in time, Link can learn that cows are being abducted.
With Romani's help, Link can beat back the aliens after a few hours of resistance. If Link successfully held off the aliens, on the second day he can help Cremia with a milk delivery by defending the cart from bandits. You'll nab a heart piece in return. Romani Ranch sure keeps busy here in Termina!
2 Child's Play
Child's Play is an interesting side quest, as it can only be completed if all other masks in the game have been acquired. This means that almost everything in the game needs to be completed. You're greeted by mask-wearing children on the moon, each of them asking you to play a game in exchange for your masks.
Link loses almost all his masks here and is rewarded with the Fierce Deity mask for it. This quest is one that best in that it shows what Majora's Mask really is: a series of surreal events that you have to accept. There are 'children' on the moon. The moon has a face, and you now have the ability to turn in a god-like figure to defeat a sentient mask. And it's great.
1 Anju & Kไafei
There are plenty of memorable moments across the Zelda series. Fighting Phantom Ganon as he plays the organ, the final horseback battle of Twilight Princess, and retrieving the Master Sword in Breath of the Wild cover just a few. But in terms of side quests, one of the greatest is that of Anju &♔ Kafei, a quest that takes the whole g🐎ame to complete.
There's an intense series of interlocking events here with incredibly specific times. You can't stop the thief on the first night, because he's essential to finding Kafei's mask. Plus Kafei has been turned into a child and is terrified to see his betrothed. On the final day, you and Kafei can finally reclaim the mask and reunite the couple, though with only an hour of in-game time left, they know their moments here are their last.
