While Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask both belong to the Zelda series, their stories aren’t really connected. Majora’s Mask is such a departure in style and mood that it almost feels like a completely separate game. Despite being undeniably Zelda, it’s known for its dark and disturbing elements, and its willingness to try new things. It feels almost like it comes from an alternate reality – one where Wario, not Mario, was Nintendo’s biggest star. This unique quality is likely why Majora’s Mask has resonated so strongly with people, both gamers and those who don’t typically play games, in a way that other Zelda titles haven’t.
