Three days, a falling moon, and that gentle dread that never quite lets go.

When the community decides on gut feeling, Majora's Mask sits ahead of 97% of games. And the per-criterion profile tells the same story of the heart. Connection, ahead of 99% of titles. Rediscovery, ahead of 99% too, that dream of living it all again for the first time. Soundtrack, again ahead of 99%. Fun and art direction hold the upper end, above 90%. What dips a little is the desert island and the controller feel, still solid but trailing, to confirm on few votes. The handling of a game from the year 2000 no longer speaks quite the same language as today, and it shows there, not in the emotion.

Against the other, sunnier and tidier Zeldas, this one bets on the strange, the melancholy, the countdown. That is exactly what makes it unforgettable for those it marks.

So, who is it for? For you if you love an adventure that dares discomfort, an atmosphere that clings to your skin, an ocarina melody that follows you for years. Much less if you want immediate, smooth handling by modern standards.
