Why
Majora's Mask Is More Than Worth The Expansion Pack
I understand that some disloyal Zelda fans aren't
buying this great game because you need to buy an Expansion Pack.
I can understand the money pressure. However, I must try my best
to convince you disloyal servants and bring you back on the right
path. The graphics are the best I've seen on 64. Sure, it IS very
similar to Ocarina of Time. However, the usage of the Expansion
pack is very clear. Every played a game so full of mist that you
can't see the enemies? Tired of playing in dungeons that are one
small enclosed room after another? Well, that's all changed in
Majora's Mask. In Termina Field, you can see as far as you can
see. The only thing blocking your view is the mountains to the
north and the forests all around. Some of the dungeon rooms are
truly impressive. They extend for seven or eight levels upward!
But, not all of you are really impressed by graphics. Well, when
you played ocarina of Time, can you tell me of one time where
you had trouble with an enemy? Did you ever get scared when attacked
by three wolfos? Neither did I. However, In Majora's Mask the
enemies are fiercer than ever. The Garo Master is flying monster
with an unblockable sword attack. Then only way to avoid it is
to flip out of the way. I actually died at one mini-boss in the
Water Temple. This makes the game more fun and challenging. I
actually spent more time on Majora's Mask than I did on Ocarina
of Time. The unique concept of time is really amazing in this
game. AT any given point, the game has atleast 50 different characters
that it is keeping track of. Again, the Expansion Pack proves
that it's worth the extra cost. In town, you can sneak into hotels,
play in multiple game shops, take part in the lottery, or increase
your sword skills in the local training center. Remember how I
talked about how big the rooms are? The town takes up four of
them. One shop even has a back door that you can peek on customers
through. This is only possible if you've completed part of the
many mini-quests around town. Also, the music in this game is
incredible. It changes if there's an enemy nearby. It changes
depending on the day. There's a different tune for different moods
that certain areas reflect. If you ever get bored of the plot
(not likely) you can spend hours doing something else. I remember
in Ocarina of Time, I rode Epona around looking for something
to do for an hour. I had mastered the game and none of the dungeons
were a problem. Well, In Majora's Mask, there's twenty different
people you can "help out". Each one has their own mini-quest.
The girl at the ranch wants you to fight off cattle rustlers.
Her sister lets you protect her cart that's delivering milk into
town. My point is that this game is full of stuff to do. This
game is the epitome of perfection. This game is my favorite Zelda
yet! Nintendo even brought back the shooting sword from the older
games! I strongly urge everyone that reads this to buy Majora's
Mask.
