One small thing that made me look at the hero of time in a whole other light was the hug he got from cremia. ‘You feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Sigh…you could get used to this.’ I love how much this humanised link as he grew up an orphan and the closest thing he had to a parental figure was a tree that died in front of him. This was his first time experiencing motherly affection and it’s so bittersweet.

I gotta be honest, that 4th day glitch is absolutely disturbing. It feels like a perverse, broken reality where the moon did actually fall and wiped society out and shattered reality itself. I struggle to put it into words. It is just...wrong. Even for a glitch.

Ocarina & Majora are phenomenal games, but man if Romani & Cremia’s dynamic isn’t just the most heartbreaking thing. You’ve got 2 sisters in their own after the deaths of both their parents, with Cremia doing her best to make ends meet. Just like Link in Ocarina, she has to force herself to mature quicker to take on all the responsibilities of Romani Ranch. The context of the Chateau Romani beverage and letting Romani drink it is so dark. Anyone with a younger sibling knows how frustrating it can be to worry about your siblings at times. You’ll bicker with them, and some times you want nothing to do with them, but you still want the best for them. Cremia’s frustration with Romani—especially prior to “them” coming down to the ranch and kidnapping her—is pretty realistic; the uptight elder sibling who had to mature quicker than they’d have liked to, just out of the desire to protect the younger sibling. There’s the aspect of her saying “when you’re older,” denying giving the younger sibling what they want just for their safety that really makes Cremia feel more realistic. When I first played Majora’s Mask and saw the sisters in the bar after learning about the alcoholic properties of the milk, it made me tear up a bit understanding why Cremia let Romania have the drink. As stated in the video, in the final hours of a 3 day cycle in the game, we see how all the characters process their impending demise, and whether or not they can accept death and how they even will. Cremia letting her sister drink the Chateau Romani in the hopes that it’ll dull her senses enough or cause her to pass out JUST so she won’t be aware of the world’s end is bittersweet. By that point, she’s resigned herself to that fate, but even in the end she wants to keep her sister naive to their fate. It’d be a mercy if she had her sister drink her fill just so she dies in her sleep from alcohol poisoning, before they’re engulfed by the inferno from the Moon’s descent and the world’s collapse. The writing of Majora’s Mask is just fascinating to me!

Man I want a zelda game with this tone again. I want to see the dark reaches of zelda's world we haven't directly seen. (Breath of the wild is more of a melancholic sad in comparison to Majora's dread)

The idea that Romani's sister allowing her to try alcohol for the first time because she knows it's their last night on earth, meanwhile Romani has no idea, hit me hard.

Imo, when it comes to THIS Link's journey and thematic story, you can include Twilight Princess as the 3rd game in a Trilogy. The Hero's Shade and how he interacts with his descendent, how he talks of "regrets", it fits perfectly with Majora's Mask. The Hero himself becomes a restless spirit, and the hero from TP has to help him find peace.

You know what I love about old school Nintendo? Characters like Grog. He’s a character outcasted from his family who hates his mother and father. A family with a bitter history between each other. It hits pretty close to reality. And I’m the end the hero can’t help Grog, and he meets a dark fate. Stand out characters like these make the world feel real to me. There’s a story here of a mundane broken family that will never be told directly to the player. And it’s sad we’ll probably never get characters like this ever again.

The story of The Hero of Time- from supposed Kokiri to Hero's Shade- is one of the most tragic stories in the Zelda franchise and one of my personal favorites. Its just so good.

one of my core memories as a kid was when I figured out that my dad would wake up at like 4 or 5 in the morning to play ocarina of time- so, naturally, I also started waking up at that time to watch him. i remember burying my head into his lap and covering my ears when he was fighting Dead Hand. Now as a 21 year old adult, if I happen to be in the same house as him when I'm playing OoT I try and make him play both the bottom of the well and the royal tomb for me because hell no

I beat Majora's mask recently, like 20 years later, and I'm so sad I never finished it as a kid. Like I wasn't even remotely close. Probably the best game I've ever played.

I remember some of the things that scared me the most weren't the enemies, but the draw distance in the game. The large open areas really added a sense of loneliness that made me scared some sort of monster would come out. In Hyrule Field at night there are the huge Peahats and Stalfos at night! Lake Hylia with its deep open water always scared me that some sort of huge fish would eat me. Thankfully that didn't happen, but in Majora's Mask my fears were answered with the dark water, Like-Likes, Skeleton fish and those huge Sea Snakes! The Haunted wasteland in Ocarina of time was frightening with the sandstorm obscuring everything, like Subnautica on land! And the Twinmold boss fight was like that nightmare fully realized!

Romani is still one of the most fucked up characters in video game history. A 9-year-old child whose mind gets melted by alien abduction. Even if you manage to save her from said abduction, she still has to live through the apocalypse. But no worries, her older sister chooses to let her get drunk for the first time in her life so her senses are dulled and she doesn't have to experience the full terror of the moon crashing into the earth. Just a fun light-hearted video game.

Romani's older sister is literally the most heartaching part about this game. Fully aware that the world is at its end and keeping her younger sisters innocence just so she won't know reality is quite literally crashing down on her. I love that there are characters in this game that have layers over them.

“That moon… it’s bigger than before isn’t it” will always be more unnerving than twilight princess trying to spook you with sewn lips man. I wish modern Zelda understood existential horror

Regarding Dead Hand (spoiler for some extremely disturbing content): I don't think his red splotches are him covered in blood. I learned that, when a body decays in real life, it will start to have these red splotches appear where the blood starts pooling inside. It's called marbling, and it makes Dead Hand even more disturbing because you're fighting a half-rotten corpse in a Nintendo game (that's not Eternal Darkness).

Fun Fact: If you return to King Dadongo's chamber as an adult you can actully find that the flesh of his corpse has rotted away, leaveing only his bones behind.

I still remember playing Majora's Mask for the first time and having to wrap my head around the idea that everyone I know and love is going to die. It was a lot for my 14 year old me to handle, and I believe this game is what let me to find my personal philosophy about my eventual demise. Just like Link running around clock town helping alleviate the anguish of those who destined to perish, to want to live my sort life making sure everyone around me will have just a little less weight on their shoulders. I don't think any pace of art has affected my psyche as much as this game. sorry for the ramble, thanks for the read!

Major difference: while OoT displayed mostly straight up horror and brutality, MM hit MUCH harder right into the feelings with emotions like sadness, sorrow, despare and even the good events always left a bitter taste. MM is definitely MUCH more uncanny.
