Template:GameNav Template:Future game Template:Game The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D is a Nintendo 3DS remake of the Nintendo 64 game, Majora's Mask. It was officially announced during a Nintendo Direct on November 5, 2014.[1]
Changes and Additions
Graphics
Much like Ocarina of Time 3D, the 3DS version of Majora's Mask is an updated port of the original Nintendo 64 version, taking advantage of the more powerful hardware and fitting modern standards. It is the first version of the game that is not an emulation, as the GameCube and Wii versions are. As such, most textures are significantly more detailed, and many models consist of more polygons than the original.
Gameplay
In addition to Owl Statues, new Feather Statues were added in order to being able to save at anytime.[2] Sheikah Stones where also added to aid Link with visions. All bosses have been changed from their forms in the original to having new weak points, all of which are eyes.[3] Two fishing ponds were also added, where Link can fish "something monstrous."[4] The clock now appears as a bar on the top screen. When playing on a New Nintendo 3DS, the C-stick now allows full camera control.
Development
Eiji Aonuma, producer of the Zelda series, had previously discussed if Majora's Mask should be remade for the Nintendo 3DS, taking into consideration the positive reception of Ocarina of Time 3D.[5] Fans in response had created a campaign named "Operation Moonfall" aiming to convince Nintendo to create the 3D remake.[6] On November 4, 2011, he announced that the remake is already in consideration.[7] On October 11, 2013, he hinted at the possibility of a 3DS remake at the New York Comic Con, stating that fans may get an answer as to whether one will be released by playing A Link Between Worlds.[8] On November 5, 2014, Nintendo confirmed via their Nintendo Direct that Majora's Mask 3D would scheduled for a spring 2015 release.
On Miiverse, Eiji Aonuma stated that Majora's Mask 3D had been in development since 2011, shortly after finishing Ocarina of Time 3D.[9]
Special Editions
In both North America and Europe, a limited special edition of the game will be released. The North American version of the game includes a copy of the game plus a Skull Kid figurine. The European version includes a copy of the game, a steelbook case, a pin badge, and a double-sided poster. By pre-ordering the game in the English retailer GAME, a Majora's Mask paperweight is also included. Other retailers through Europe offer a Majora's Mask necklace and a black sack with the game's logo on it when pre-ordering the standard edition. When pre-ordering Code Name S.T.E.A.M. on the American retailer GameStop, a Majora's Mask pin is also included.
A special edition New Nintendo 3DS XL featuring a gold top with Majora's Mask and the four transformation masks is also set be released on launch day of both the game and the new console. It includes the game pre-installed in the system.
