On the negative side, some locations seem to have blurrier textures and the framerate may sometimes lower; additionally, some parts are less detailed than others, such as the trees prior to the entrance to the [[Southern Swamp]]. Also, in comparison to the leap of graphical advancement seen in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', there are fans who criticize the game for being a "cheap" release using too many of the same stylings as Ocarina, including (as mentioned before) characters, enemies and graphical style; it is advised that [[Eiji Aonuma]], a key developer of the game, actually stated that reusing many aspects of ''Ocarina of Time'' allowed his team to program the game in less than two years (this is because ''Ocarina of Time'' took no less than four years of development). Regardless of this dispute, other players state that Majora's Mask has aged well, and in overlooking its pointed downfalls, it is an extremely well produced game which brings unique gameplay elements to the series as well as a much darker take on the character of Link, the Hero of Time. | On the negative side, some locations seem to have blurrier textures and the framerate may sometimes lower; additionally, some parts are less detailed than others, such as the trees prior to the entrance to the [[Southern Swamp]].

Termina's world is a parallel dimension to [[Hyrule|Hyrule's]] world.<ref>{{cite manual|quote=This is a kind of parallel world that is similar and yet different to the land of Hyrule, which was the setting for ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.''|game=Majora's Mask|page=6}}</ref> There are some characters here that also have counterparts in Hyrule, except for Link | Termina's world is a parallel dimension to [[Hyrule|Hyrule's]] world.<ref>{{cite manual|quote=This is a kind of parallel world that is similar and yet different to the land of Hyrule, which was the setting for ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.''|game=Majora's Mask|page=6}}</ref> There are some characters here that also have counterparts in Hyrule, except for Link, [[Epona]], the entire [[Kokiri]] tribe, and (possibly) the [[Happy Mask Salesman]], who are all residents of Hyrule. Skull Kid is confirmed to be from Hyrule because at the end of the game, he says that Link smells like the kid that taught him [[Saria's Song|"that song"]] in the [[Lost Woods]]. Termina consists of five huge lands (or ''worlds'', as said by [[Anju|Anju's]] grandmother): The central one houses [[Clock Town]], [[Romani Ranch]], and [[Termina Field]], with the latter one not having any apparent major anomaly caused by the [[Skull Kid]], and merely serving as a point of access to the other parts; [[Clock Town]] is where the world of entertainment is, featuring important attractions, numerous recreative zones and tourism; it's there where the annual [[Carnival of Time]] is celebrated, and it's where [[Mayor Dotour]] fulfills his political duties. [[Romani Ranch]] is a large rural zone where various animals are taken care of, and milk is produced for its distribution to Clock Town. | ||
As for the other regions in the game, the [[Southern Swamp]] is located south, and it's where various [[Monkey|monkeys]] and monsters live, while the [[Deku]] tribe practises its monarchy in the [[Deku Palace]]; the swamp's waters are poisoned because of the creature living in [[Woodfall Temple]]. The [[Snowhead Mountain]] is located north, and it's inhabited by the [[Goron]] tribe (who puts into practice a patriarchy, not unlike in [[Hyrule|Hyrule's]] [[Death Mountain]]); the mountain's weather indicates an extremely low temperature because of the creature living in [[Snowhead Temple]]. The [[Great Bay Coast]] is located west, and it's inhabited by the proud [[Zora]] tribe (living in [[Zora Cape|an underwater reef]], and known for their artistic linage in the musical department), as well as by [[Gerudo|pirates]] (living in [[Pirates' Fortress|a sinister complex]], and known for their reputation of hunting treasure at all costs and by all means necessary) and humans (living in the coast itself, and doing miscellaneous activities such as scientific research and fishing); the coast's waters become murky because of the creature living in the [[Great Bay Temple]]. Finally, [[Ikana Canyon]] lies east, and the whole place is invaded by undead entities because of the ''creatures'' living in the [[Stone Tower Temple]]. It used to be inhabited by humans before this, but now the only living people found there are [[Sakon]], [[Pamela]] and [[Pamela's Father|her father]]. | As for the other regions in the game, the [[Southern Swamp]] is located south, and it's where various [[Monkey|monkeys]] and monsters live, while the [[Deku]] tribe practises its monarchy in the [[Deku Palace]]; the swamp's waters are poisoned because of the creature living in [[Woodfall Temple]].
