My Favorite Zelda-Game
N64 Games FTW is a proud fan of the Legend of Zelda series of video games, produced and published by Nintendo, for Nintendo Consoles. His favorite Zelda title would be Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, for the Nintendo 64. Many people find Majora's Mask a disgrace to the Zelda series, however N64 Games FTW disagrees. He likes Majora's Mask because it pushed the bounderies of the Nintendo 64 game console; the three days cycle allowed the characters to actually have lives, not just sit there waiting for Link; and finally because it had a deeper meaning.

Pushing the Boundaries
As N64 Games FTW I will breifly explain what I meant. When I say that Majora's Mask pushed the boundaries of the Nintendo 64 game console, I mean that when it was released in North America, it came with a RAM attachment. This was because it was actually released for the Nintendo 64 Disk-Drive (N64DD), which was released in Japan. This has made me very happy because it showed that Nintendo was not afraid to push the limitations they had.

Characters have Lives
Also when I said that the three days cycle allowed characters to have lives, not just sit there waiting for Link. I meant that they actually walk around. For example Anju, on Day 1 is behind the counter at the Stock Pot Inn. If you talk to her then on Night 1, she will meet you in the kitchen, if not she will sulk at the Laundry Pool in South Clocktown. Following that on Day 2, if you had spoken with Anju either on Day 1 in the Stock Pot Inn, and Night 1 in the kitchen; or Night 1, in the Laundry Pool; she will be back at the desk. If you did not, she will be sulking in her room in the Stock Pot Inn. If you have spoken to her on Day 2, giving her the Pendent of Memories; she will refuse to go to Romani Ranch on the 3rd Day. This is another splitting point. If you give her the Pendent, on the 3rd Night she will wait patiently in her room for Kafie to appear; if you do not she will spend Day 3, and Night 3 at the Ranch.

The Message of Marjora's Mask
The last thing that I mentioned as to why I like Majora's Mask the best, is becaue everything has a deeper meaning. I have no idea how to explain it, because when I played the game I got one message, and my friend got a completely different message (metaphorically speaking). However I will also like to tell how Majora's Mask alludes to Global Warming. Now I do not want to sound like an environmentalist, but this is what I got as a message. I am not sure whether the meant it, and if the did whether they were alluding to Global Warming, or Climate Change. The Skull Kid represents mankind, he is greedy, we are greedy; and this is symbolized by him stealing the Majora's Mask from the Happy Mask Salesman. This leads to the poisoning of the Southern Swamp; the bizare weather Snowhead Mountain; the cloudy waters of Great Bay; and the clouded sky (no real sky was showing) of Ikana Valley. Each and everyone of these were caused by the Skull Kid A.K.A. Humanity, and each and everyone of these had to be fixed by Link A.K.A. the environmentalists. The effects on the Southern Swamp, and Great Bay, can be related to how we are poisoning the earth. And the effects on Snowhead Mountain, and Ikana Valley, can be related to the Greenhouse gasses. As we change our planet's weather systems (via warming), we are redirecting where water falls (which lowers temperatures); and at the same time we could eventually end up like Ikana Valley, in that it is a wasteland, with no living, because we killed the planet.

This is why I found the Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask to be the greatest Zelda title ever.
