Majora’s Mask might be one of the most interesting games in the Zelda series. Not only is the title darker and different from other entries, but development itself was also atypical.
Eiji Aonuma reflected on the original release of Majora’s Mask in a recent issue of GamesMaster. In his chat with the magazine, he discussed the game’s short development cycle, and how “innovation truly comes when you have to work under some kind of big pressure.”
Below are his words in full:
The Hyrule Warriors Majora’s Mask Pack is now live for players in Japan. Users can download the 1.5.0 update, too. Check out a trailer for the Majora’s Mask Pack above.

Thanks to supplementary financial results information issued by Nintendo, we now have a fresh release schedule and million sellers list from the company.
In terms of release dates, Yoshi’s Woolly World is still apparently targeted for the first half of 2015 in North America and Europe. Other games like Mario Maker, Zelda, and Star Fox have vague “2015” dates. Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem is still on the list as “TBD”.

Nintendo was set to kick off its third quarter results briefing with analysts and investors in just a short while. However, president Satoru Iwata has posted a message on the company’s Japanese Twitter account confirming that the meeting has been delayed. That means we’ll have to wait at least a few more days to find out about the latest juicy tidbits from Nintendo.
Unfortunately, Iwata explained that he is currently has a fever, and influenza is suspected. A new date for the briefing will be announced sometime in the future.
