5.0 out of 5 stars The best game music CD I've owned, December 28, 2000

By	A 17-year old reader (Goodlettsville, TN United States) - See all my reviews

Though it only contains music from Majora's Mask, this soundtrack is excellent in every way. The music is sharper and clearer than it is in the game. It is a 2-CD set with 112 tracks total. I just got it in the mail today, and the only time I took a break was to write this review. I really can't stop listening to it. Like Zelda music? Buy this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you love Zelda...., April 18, 2001

By	Michael McClelland (Florida) - See all my reviews

If you love Zelda this record is for you. It's music directly from the game so if you want to learn the songs then its perfect. If your a causual fan it is definitly not for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Be warned: the marketplace sellers sell pirated CDs, September 22, 2004

By	Eloranta Sami - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Think $20 for the full Majora's Mask soundtrack is too great? It is. The marketplace sellers are selling illegit Taiwanese pirated soundtracks. The authentic Japanese release is unfortunately a rarity, and highly priced. If you look at the pirated product and the featured Amazon picture of the original album closely, you'll see that there are differences, like the catalogue number at the upper left corner. The same soundtrack has also received an official Nintendo promotional release in the US, with different packaging and English track listing, but all the same music.

What is here is kind of a mixed back. Majora's Mask contains a lot of Ocarina of Time's music, but the new material improves upon Ocarina's score, crammed onto one CD. Majora's Mask consists of captivating ambient tracks, heart-pounding battle compositions and some really atmospheric songs like the ethereal, hypnotic Last Day. Zelda fans are also in for a treat, as the Zora band's rearrangements of the classic Zelda compositions from the series' earlier iterations have been included on the album. Tracks like the original Zelda's dungeon theme still prove their strength in the arrangements.


There is still the sense of cramming too much into too little space, with many great tracks being too short. Also, all the little jingles and sound effects really disrupt the listening experience. I am slightly torn on whether to award the soundtrack 3 or 4 stars: the short track lengths and the constant jingles are really bad enough to make me consider dropping that fourth star. Altogether, I think that the good outweighs the bad, and Majora's stirring compositions have enough credence to keep the fourth star. After all, you can leave the jingles out from your playlist, and what is left is of high quality. Nevertheless, be wary: the authentic Japanese release will not come cheap. With Nintendo's official US release you might have luck finding it used, though.
