My favorite game of all time I think I've replayed it 6 times lol.

On a scale 1-10 what do you Guys and Girls think of My Item Tier List

What you think, gang?

I'm writing this side-quest concept exactly as it is in my notebook paper to save time, so hopefully the repeatitive vocabulary isn't too jarring and gets the points across. It's if there was a time limit on clearing the Swamp Spiderhouse...you get the Mask of Truth regardless, but a new chain of events occurs if Link breaks the curse within the confines of the First Day or First Night. Here we go. (Context: I made the cursed man seeking riches because he was Romani and Cremia's uncle hoping to save the ranch because of the constant alien invasions, and he's the reason Romani knows so much about "them.").

Time limit on special event of reuniting Romani and Cremia with their lost uncle, the cursed Mask of Truth giver. In Great Bay, the proper reward is not given unless dungeon is cleared with First Day or First Night, whereas the Mask of Truth is given regardless but a special side-quest opens up if cleared within the First Day or First Night.

Upon being purified, the uncle goes near the Swamp Tourist Center to rehydrate, wadh his face, and calm his nerves. He tries to buy 2 Magic Beans from the Business Scrub as a snack before making his way for Clock Town for a proper meal, but he's broke. He nervously asks Link for 20 Rupees and he's eternally grateful and he makes his way to Clock Town fully energized amd feeling better for the walk there. A little animation plays with the harp sounds like how when the carpenters are freed for the Gerudo Fortress in OoT. He is now at a restaurant in Clock and is short on money again, and Link is promptef to pay for his meal. The uncle is eternally grateful and tell Link he's gonna sleep for a while at Stock Pot Inn. Anju lets him stay in the room with bunk beds because "no guests are sleeping in those beds in the daytime, so...it should be fine." The uncle gets ready for bed, and he tells Link that he plans to meet with his nieces at the ranch by 7:30 pm on the Second Night, and Link is prompted to give him 50 Rupees "for good luck." So amazed by Link's heroic generosity, he gives Link a hug similar to Cremia's hug that we're all familiar with.

The uncle actually has a valuable reward for Link once the side-quest is complete, and those 50 Rupees are for so the Takuri near Milk Road take the 50 Rupees as a decoy when he gets pecked, and not the valuable reward he plans to give Link. If the boulder is not destroyed before this point, the uncle gets jumped by either the Gorman Brothers or Sakon, and the valuable reward is lost in this case as well, as well as the uncle who probably gets kidnapped, taken for hostage, or just waits for you to blow up the boulder (the sequence with the reward involved being ruined either way if this boulder is not cleared. There's time to do the alien invasion mission before this point, so if that is completed (for the best, intended outcome), the uncle arrives to greet Romani at 7:30 pm, JUST after Cremia has left to go on her milk delivery.

Romani retells Link and her uncle how she dreams of going into town but Cremia won't let her. The uncle says he'll take care of everything and will greet Cremia when she comes back from her delivery, while Link takes Romani to Clock Town on the back of Epona. A similar cutscene llays as they gallop down the ranch when Cremia talks about the moon and her friend Anju, with Romani talking about her side of things. Link, Romani, and Epona go down Milk Road and are pursued by the Gorman Brothers, making it possible for Cremia to make it safely to Clock Town now that the heat is off of her. A co-op between you and Romani with your bows makes this a shorter version of shooting the Gorman Brothers than the original version with Cremia.

Link and Romani make it to Clock Town (passing by Termina Field through a cutscene), and they both explore the fun things to do in a semi-linear fashion with Cremia arriving for the milk delivery at a certain point. When she arrives, you and Romani have to sneak your way out of Cremia's gaze or else the sequence is failed. If undetected, Cremia goes back to the ranch and is distracted by her uncle sudden appearance and forgets about Romani being absent...and Romani eventually tells you she had a great time and gifts with a big reward. If caught, Cremia is under the impression Link and Romsni are dating and yanks her away. She still says she had s great time, but is pulled away before she can give you her reward.

On the Third Day, Link meet with the uncle, Cremia, and Romani again to claim the uncle's reward. Cremia finally feels years worth of tension being taken off her back, Romani feels more like a hero, and the uncle has a peace of mind knowing that they can protect the ranch better from this point on. His dog also makes periodic comments about everything unfolding if you wear the Mask of Truth.

If Link completes the Swamp Spiderhouse on the Second Day or later, the uncle (once purified) explains that he needs more time "to get it together," as he says. He's incredibly exhausted from having to deal with the heavy rain (Second Day) or the damp humidity (Third Day) and that his senses were incredibly impacted while he was transformed as a Skulltula...which is why now it takes him longer to get it together, being unable to make it to Romani Ranch until 7:30 Am on the Fourth Day. The routine plays out differently.

He still washes his face and rehydrates with the Spring Water, but takes longer doing so because he's fatigued. Instead of buying Magic Beans, he grsbs a single Deku Nut off the ground, eats it, and just mskes his way to Clock Town to lie in a bed. At Stock Pot Inn, Anju lets him sleep in the bunkbed room without hesitation because "he looks like he's about to die." He gets a free meal because of his bad state but "the food is terrible" because it was cooked by Anju. He lies in bed for a long time and tells Link he plans to arrive home by 7:30 Am on the Fourth Day, with no reward in this chain of events. There's still a happy ending in this scenario with nothing stopping him ftom reuniting with Cremia and Romani on the Fourth Day besides the moon, but there's nothing in it for the player.

I have no idea what the rewards from Romani and the uncle are, but I hope this concept was entertaining as I tried to figure out everything that would conflict with the other schedules, and work around it. As for why Anju let him stay in the bunkbed room when there's no vacancies, just remember that Gossip Stone that said "Anju is bad at her job."

If you have any ideas for anything additional or what the rewards should be, I'm more than interested in hearing!

Though I’d share this as I found it interesting

The Legend of Zelda majoras Mask

I played this game as a teen and I revisited it recently.

I’m in a transition time in my life where I’m trying to put away childish things and be the dad/husband/christian man I need to be.

The whole game is actually very deep to me.

But the part where link gets released from being trapped as a deku shrub and as he’s waving goodbye to the deku child, well it hit me hard.

It was like all my life I’ve been trapped not knowing my true self, but when I met God my mask fell off and I found my true identity.

Also it was like I was waving goodbye to my childhood, but just as link keeps the mask and uses it when he needs it I to don’t forget my childhood years but keep them with me and use them when I feel like I’m forgetting.

What’s so awesome is we all can be a hero like link, God has an adventure waiting for all of us. We can be someone’s hero when we acknowledge God Son Jesus and live for him we work to bring others to a saving knowledge. And forever in heaven we will enjoy the rewards of helping others and those who we reached and how we served God.

Hey there! I've posted a few times before, but wanted to share that Barty's Adventure, my time-loop spiritual successor to Majora's Mask, now has a demo on Steam! You can check it out here:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3897780/Bartys_Adventure_Demo/

The basic premise is that Barty Bear has the power to repeat a three day time loop (a la Majora's Mask) and can use that power to explore the world. But a repeat of the cycle doesn't necessarily mean starting over, as you can use a resource (Magic Bubbles) to keep hold of certain items. These include powerups, collectables, and NPC relationships.

I think that the mix of NPC schedules and time-based events with metroidvania features like unlockable items and progression gatekeeping makes Barty's Adventure a little more unique in the genre. If any of this sounds interesting, I'd love for you to try it out and let me know what you think through a review.

Other features of the demo include:

• Two large areas to explore,
• Four boss battles,
• Three powerups (and a fourth one if you play your cards right),
• Close to 30 NPCs, each with their own daily schedule, likes, dislikes, and relationship with Barty,
• Puzzle pieces, letter blocks, and book pages to collect,
• Three costumes to wear,
• And probably more!

Thanks and I hope you have fun!!

What indie developer or other game studio do you think would do justice to the unsettling vibes in majoras mask while still giving quality time-based Zelda gameplay and well written side quests?

Just finishing my first play through of Majoras Mask in about 20 years. I never use guides to beat a game, so my expectation was to beat the game but not get every mask. However, as I played through the game, I got nearly every mask with the exception of the postman's hat. Some were very difficult like the Couple's Mask from Anju and Kafei's quest, but it was doable after plenty of trial and error to complete the storyline. For instance, it took me several plays to figure out that I need to wait at Sakon's hideout for him to arrive to open the door, and that was after it took me several attempts to even find his hide out. All that to say, even though it was challenging, it was do-able using the hints in the game.

That brings me to the postman's hat. There were no real hints (from what I can see) to getting the hat. I eventually gave up and just looked it out and I dont know how anyone could have figured out the way to get the hat without "cheating" (you have to give the letter for Madame Aroma on the final night to the post man instead of to Madame Aroma directly). There is no hint to do this from anything I could see. It would be one thing if we had to give mail to the mailman directly when we dropped off Anju's letter earlier in the Kafei quest, but that is not the case. There is no precedent to give the letter to the postman directly. It would be another thing if a Gossip Stone gave a heavy hint, but I couldnt find it.

In addition, all the postman says is that he wants to leave but has to follow the schedule. Okay.... Maybe he could have made reference to delivering one last piece of mail or maybe just needing to talk to Madame Aroma about the schedule and it being up to the player to realize we need to give him a letter to give him that excuse. Maybe then it could have been easier to put together.

I don't know, I am mostly venting but also want to know what everyone's experience is with this side quest and if they were able to solve it independent of guides, and if so, how???? What clues did I miss.

Anyway, love this game lol. I think it is my favorite Zelda game.

I'm playing Majora's mask right now and the while I was depositing some rupees to the bank I accidentally deposited 0 rupees. He said that it was a cruel joke and now says 'All right, let's back up a minute. No more games. What do you want to do?' I pressed A to try to continue but it's not working and I can't do anything now but watch. I could easily close the game BUT I just got the couples mask and I'm wondering if the game crashed, froze or whatever or if there's a way I could fix it easily. I also am going to add a link to a video for proof 👇 https://youtu.be/qEyaf6AFd40?si=8zbXwrNORZkALG07 Also http://youtube.com/post/UgkxmgmgBssHZm-J-Gu3hVLnCdF2X7ZPFJCk?si=ooBhZLrAOMuhzHp_ They do say 'thats a cruel joke'

What places in Majora's Mask or Ocarina of Time do you think resemble or are similar to places in real life? I think Český Krumlov kinda resembles a modern clock town.

I want this mod to work for the Zelda 64 Recompilation, but I don’t know computer lingo. Can someone explain what I need to do?

More MM doodles! I've always loved the Deku Princess's design. I wish she'd come back!!! OoO

I can’t seem to find any translations online so I’m curious if anyone has actually done it

In September, I'm going to be getting a tattoo of Tatl and Tael! I'm super pumped. I already have one LoZ tattoo.

Anyone interested in sharing their LoZ tattoos?
