![Ikachan - 3DS [Digital Code]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51efi9fUesL._AC_UL140_SR140,140_.jpg)
I've divided my review up into two parts for Amazon customers "The Review" being the first part and "Commentary" being the second part.
The Review:
-Same old boring gameplay as the original release in 2000
-Same depressing uninspiring game world of Termina
-Same boring nonsensical NPC's
-Same circular boring nonsensical world of Termina with horrid re-worked/re-mixed Zelda overworld music that somehow manages to make the traditional Zelda overworld theme sound awful instead of inspiring as it sounded in LTTP.
-Same lack of a true Zelda game's feel (no Hyrule to explore, no Ganon, no Princess Zelda, no Hylian mythos...what makes this game a "Zelda" game again exactly?)
-Though the time system is indeed garbage and universally panned even by Nintendo's most ardent sycophants the game like all Aonuma dreck erroniously labelled Zelda remains so utterly easy in the challenge department even a lobotomy patient could complete it.
Verdict: 1 star because to my knowledge Amazon won't let me rate it any lower, the game is horrible, avoid if intelligent.
Commentary:
Nintendo as always for the last decade plus continues its dissapointing trend of not only keeping the hack no talent "Jimmy Fallon of Japan" Eiji Aonuma employed (for some strange reason despite his games not selling) but also re-releasing the same old boring dog vomit they released years ago knowing well enough that their sycophantic gaming audience will be stupid enough to continue to buy their re-packaged turds over and over again because that is what insane people do or rather it is the very definition of insanity to do something over and over again expecting a different result.
Well Majora's Mask was a garbage universally panned/reviled game upon it's original release around the year 2000 and not much has changed as per it's quality with it's re-release now on the 3DS.
The game is still garbage, still not a genuine Legend Of Zelda title (the world and theme are totally wrong and off).
The moon is still goofy as hell, the world is still not scary and the story is still boring all these years later.
Really the only thing that has changed is the online community.
Back in the year 2000 the online gaming community was populated by a ratio of 85% sane people and 15% crazies which are comprised of anime freaks, pedophiles and weirdos.
Since 85% of the people you'd see on the online videogame message boards were of a far saner stock than today you'd mostly end up getting the correct summation of a game's value or lackthereof if you perused said forums before engaging in your videogame shopping activities.
Well anyway upon it's initial release (the year 2000 or thereabouts) the sane 85% of people that existed in the videogame online forum communities of the time utterly rejected Majora's Mask and it bombed in sales figures because Aonuma utterly abandoned Hyrule, it's lore, it's mythos and it's whimsical nature (mixed with just enough darkness to make the land feel tainted by an evil that must be overcome) to Majora's boring trainwreck of a world known as Termina whose world lacked whimsy and genuine darkness and a feeling of real evil to be fought and instead replaced it with a feeling of grinding depression which the 15% of rainbow hair colored "social justice warriors" (Orwellian term) a.k.a Communists a.k.a "Hipsters", who have become the new 85% majority on the online gaming message forums in the year 2015 to the detriment of ALL, are all too familiar with (in addition to the plethora of other mental illnesses from which they suffer) hence they have relegated this piece of garbage Majora's Mask, this utterly forgetabble turd of a game, to cult status, solely because they identify with it's inferiority and Aonuma's hackish "try hard" nature which is reflective of they themselves and their own life struggles to be more than they are which only end in resentment for their betters leading to their terminal victim mentality which made them become self styled "social justice warriors" a.k.a neo-Communists to begin with.
They laud Aonuma's polished turd Majora's Mask with undeserved praise even though it will soon be collecting dust on their shelves going unplayed like the rest of the Aonuma dreck that they always momentarily and frothily praise, only to eventually come to grips with reality that Aonuma's games simply are not fun or at all compelling to play.
The so called "Zelda Cycle" that they bozos spend so much of their time prattling on about isn't really a "Zelda" Cycle at all since Zelda was killed by Aonuma the moment "Wind Waker" was unveiled.
Since Majora's Mask was Aonuma's first attempt at destroying the Zelda franchise it is more appropriate to speak of the Aonuma cycle and what does a cycle do? A cycle is something that goes around in a circle, it spins around, thus follow me with this imagery here.
"Zelda" as a unique and beautiful midieval sword and sorcery epic whose core was it's arcade combat mixed with light RPG elements began circling the drain of the commode the very moment the hack Aonuma was made producer/director over the series beginning with Majora's Trash.
So "Zelda cycle" no...
More like "Aonuma cycle" and the Aonuma cycle ends in the septic tank where all feces belongs which of course translates to real world terms and those of course are Aonuma's "Zelda games" (whatever that means) don't sell anywhere near the degree they'd need to for Nintendo to continue to justify to it's shareholders to keep on making them. The series is in very dire trouble and for whatever insane/cultural/corporate/friendship reason Shigeru Miyamoto/Nintendo simply refuses to pull the plug on Aonuma's involvement with the once great Zelda series which is the only thing at this point that could possible make it rise from the grave and shine brightly again.
Pull the plug on Eiji Aonuma's career Nintendo/Miyamoto.
End Zelda's suffering and ours.
To the gamers that loved LTTP, OOT, Link's Awakening, Zelda II and the original LOZ on the NES and any sane individuals who have come to realize my words are true and that Aonuma is a hack and the grand ruiner of the Zelda series, I beg of you to save your money if you at all care about the Zelda series ever regaining it's quality and mass appeal as it had with Link to the Past and Ocarina Of Time and even the first and second Legend Of Zelda games on the NES.
As long as Aonuma remains employed by Nintendo the Zelda series will remain ruined and games made by other companies that do the job Zelda used to do the best ie open worlds, sword combat, magic combat (which is all summed up as arcade action adventure gameplay mixed with light RPG elements) the new games of the Elder Scrolls series, The Witcher 3, Grand Theft Auto 5 and on will continue to outshine Aonuma's turds erroniously labelled "Zelda" and the Zelda series will simply continue to fall into irrelevancy by the gaming community overall.
Help send Nintendo the message to fire Eiji Aonuma by not giving them your money to buy his garbage. Email Nintendo and ask them politely to fire Eiji Aonuma and put a man of actual talent who understands the Zelda series on the project instead and that man's name is Yoshiaki Kozuimi (A writer of many of the pre-Aonuma Zelda game's stories) as well Mr. Kozuimi was behind the much loved Spaceworld 2000 realistic Zelda demo before we were bait and switch betrayed by Nintendo/Aonuma with the atrociously ugly slap in the face kiddy abomination that was Wind Waker.
In closing I suffer (playing and buying Aonuma's dreck in order to review it) so YOU the amazon customer and gamer don't have to.
Please don't let my sacrifice be in vain.
Demand Aonuma's firing in emails and spend your hard earned money on something other than Aonuma's Zelda ruining dreck.

Three days to save the world
In three days, the moon will fall and the land of Termina will meet with a terrible fate. Can you save it in time? Relive the world’s final 72 hours, solve elaborate puzzles, conquer dungeons, battle giant bosses, and befriend the doomed people of Termina in one of Nintendo’s most suspenseful apocalyptic adventures ever.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D is a remastered and enhanced version of the Nintendo classic that’s unlike any other Legend of Zelda adventure. In this shadowy tale, a masked Skull Kid drags Link into the world of Termina, where the moon is falling from the sky. Lucky for Termina, Link can reverse time and relive his last 72 hours in limitless ways. Each time, he’ll don any of his 20+ masks, help different citizens, battle different bosses, and ultimately change the fate of a world. This is the definitive version of a dark classic.

I was thrown off by the UAE Saudi Arabia label on the box...
Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2022
I am in the USA and this UAE Saudi Arabia worried me. It wasn't what was pictured in the Amazon listing when I bought it. Naturally, it felt like a bait and switch and I do not like that. Before I even put it into my console I had to research to make sure it was OK and wasn't going to break my console or anything. I finally wound up putting it into my 3DS XL and it is working fine, as others had reported in various forums on the internet. It's in English. So far so good. Would have been a 5 star otherwise. It's hard to find a used copy of the USA version so settling for a new copy of a UAE version seems OK for now.

No hay mucho que pueda decir sobre éste juego que no se haya dicho con anterioridad. Es una joya de los videojuegos, en su tiempo significó un contraste tremendo frente su predecesor.Reviewed in Mexico 🇲🇽 on October 2, 2017
Sus mecánicas han envejecido un poco pero siguen sintiendose vigentes, sin lugar a dudas debes probarlo aunque no lo hayas hecho en los 90s.
Cuenta con una buena historia y horas de diversión, buen diseño de enemigos y mazmorras, rompecabezas que te ponen a pensar, secciones de acción intensa y mucho más. Éste remaster fue muy bien hecho, resuelve varios problemas de la versión original y sin lugar a dudas es la mejor que puedes probar.
El juego en sí llegó en perfectas condiciones, dentro de su caja que no tenía ningún raspón y llegó en 2 días. Recomendado.

El juego está increíble, nunca lo jugué en N64 y me ha encantado para el 3DS. Desde que me llegó lo he jugado por horas. La historia es muy diferente a lo que tenemos acostumbrados, la jugabilidad muy buena. El soundtrack bellísimo. De verdad que es un juego clásico y único.Reviewed in Mexico 🇲🇽 on November 16, 2017
La versión que me llegó en la caja dice que es para Malasia, Arabia Saudita, UAE y Singapur, cuando lo ví creí que no iba a servir en mi consola por eso del bloqueo de regiones, pero no, todo funciona perfecto :D
Lo recomiendo completamente
