The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D Reviews
Majora's Mask for 3DS makes a fantastic game better by giving it a graphical upheaval as well as making it accessible to new players. Whether you've played it or not it's worth picking Majora's Mask up!
I tried to play the original Majora's Mask a long time ago- but never made it through the swamp area at the beginning of the game due to a lack of inspiration and uncertainty with the time travel system. In reviewing this remake- I made it all the way to the end of the game and had a blast from start to finish. The point being- even though you may be uncertain about Majora's Mask 3D, if you keep pushing through you'll see what makes it such a highly-rated classic.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is a work of art, working fundamentally as a game, and achieving what it does because of it, and not in spite of it.
A worthy remake of the most interesting Zelda game
The contemporary video game, marked by the growing presence of remakes and remasters, often leads us to complain. But, when we are faced with a game of the caliber of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask and a restoration of this quality, we can only rejoice.

With Majora's Mask, Nintendo's premier franchise was no longer childlike in innocence. Having addressed the core themes that sit around death, and the inevitability of it, the series transitioned into a place darker and more knowing. Subsequent releases have either paled in comparison to the revelations of Majora's Mask, or represented a nostalgia for the "good old times" of innocent adventuring. In other words, The Legend of Zelda series has become the incarnation of an adult, and for better or worse, Majora's Mask is the coming of age story that made us all grow up.
The same game you've always loved - streamlined and updated with just a dash of that old sense of challenge.
A wonderful entrant in the series that has gotten better with age.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is a different Zelda. So different and experimental for fans that they will learn to manage it longer than others. Newcomers can jump in at the right time: there's a core of the series and a lot of tweaks.

Majora's Mask holds up as one of the most interesting, unique, and haunting character-driven experiences in the industry.
Being able to talk to, and discuss an old school game to the younger generation, and have that be something that’s new for them, is simply awesome. The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask (3D), may not be the typical, nor standard franchise story we see, but will always stand the test of time, and be memorable for being the most unique title, of it’s series.
The story stands out from all the other Zelda stories,the dungeons are old-fashioned high quality, and the masks give the game a new load of depth that we don't find anywhere else. If you're looking for another title for your handheld, let it be this one.

Majora's Mask is a testament to the idea that fantastic game design never ages. It's engrossing while pushy, unique while also familiar and filled with contrasting charm and dread. If you have a 3DS it's a must-have – and a good reason to pick one up in the first place.
For 3DS owners and people who missed "Majora's Mask" 15 years ago, this is the perfect time to experience one of the most underrated games in the series. The game seems to force itself to take advantage of the 3DS hardware, and not every part of the game is enjoyable, but that's par for the course when it comes to the "Zelda" franchise. The layered narrative is worth your time and money. It's a shining example of why "Zelda" is such an artistic representation of the medium of video games.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D is the great remake that everyone was waiting for, the revenge of a "misreconsive" chapter that for fifteen years has been waiting for a new opportunity to prove its worth. A title often bilayered but equally powerful, fun and challenging.

The title represents a good opportunity for veterans to rediscover this classic, while purists who don't know it yet may want to enjoy the original experience first. More than a reissue, The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D is an interpretation, an interesting revision that no player should miss. Even with a polygon mask and slight adjustments, looking underneath it reveals an unlikely adventure, a brooding glee that is unmistakably a reflection of another era of game design. Visiting Termina means leaving the epic plains of Ocarina of Time to descend into unique introspection. Welcome to the carnival.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D proves that interesting game design and strong world-building never get old. Even 15 years later, it still delivers charming characters, tense resource management, and a world rife with personality. Despite some cumbersome menus and a single drag of a dungeon, Majora's Mask is a great adventure that (repeatedly) stands the test of time.
A great adaptation for an unjustly forgotten classic. The perfect opportunity to play it if you missed it at the time.

Majora's Mask 3D is a game worth experiencing, even just for its bizarre and unsettling themes. However, while enjoyable, it's not among the best the Zelda series has to offer.
Remastered Nintendo 64 adventure is the first essential 3DS game of 2015.
