Majora’s Mask is one of the more iconic elements of the Zelda series. Now as part of an interview with Gaming Boulevard, we get to hear a bit about how it was created.
Takaya Imamura had a legendary career at Nintendo where he was an artist on many different games and franchises, including Star Fox, F-Zero, and yes, The Legend of Zelda. According to Imamura, Majora’s Mask was about differentiating the game from Ocarina of Time, and the mask itself took some inspiration from Asian tribes.
Zelda: Majora’s Mask N64 vs. 3DS – examining which is better
Posted on 4 months ago by Ethan in 3DS, Features, General Nintendo | 0 comments
We’re taking a bit of time to reflect on the Zelda: Majora’s Mask N64 vs. 3DS debate to think about the pros and cons of each version.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask is often regarded as one of the better (if not one of the best) games in the series. This is despite how heavily it borrows assets from Ocarina of Time – it fashions old assets into new characters with set routines and believable reactions to the tragedies that occur in the game. That being said, the two versions of the game available right now, N64 and 3DS, provide different experiences. There isn’t a consensus on which version of the game is objectively better, however. Today, we’re going to discuss the differences between Majora’s Mask N64 vs 3DS and ask you the question: which one do you like better?

The Legend of Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma has weighed in on comparisons fans have drawn between Tears of the Kingdom and Majora’s Mask. This comes as part of an interview with Polygon.
Both titles are built based on their predecessors, but Aonuma was quick to point out that with Tears of the Kingdom, it was “the opposite sort of challenge”. He brought up how with the new Switch title, Nintendo “took the same world and some of the same materials, or constituent parts, but needed to make it [all] bigger, and needed to create a more expansive world”. That goes for both a horizontal and vertical sense.
Aonuma explained:

Zelda: Majora’s Mask now properly showing upgrade discount on the North American Wii U eShop
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 7 Comments
Nintendo brought The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask to the North American Wii U Virtual Console last week. But the normal discount for original Wii owners, which would have brought it down to $2, had not been applied.
We now have good news to report regarding the situation. Nintendo has fixed the issue, meaning those who previously purchased Majora’s Mask on Wii and transferred over to Wii U will now see the proper discount on the eShop. Thankfully it was taken care of in a shorter time than initially anticipated.
Thanks to TruExtent for the tip.
