Watch Out For Strangers











OK here we go again. This guy is a jerk and we are going to see a lot of him. First off he starts by stealing links orcarina and his horse somewhere in the lost woods.










He then loses my horse and link falls down a giant hole. This guy is not making a good impression.












Oh yeah this is great now he turns link into a deku shrub. At least we get one of his fairies. Actually wait never mind screw the fairy i want to be a real boy again, damn you skull kid.










Alright now the game begins and we get the worst item ever. I never use these things i hate them.










Once we get out of the tunnel area we are in some weird building and this guy is just chilling in there. He pretty much asks you to get your orcarina back and his mask back and he will help you out.














So we set out into the new world of Termina, which is supposed to be a alternate dimension of hyrule. This is the reason why everybody looks the same even the stupid great faeries.










So the faerie give link magic power which allows the use of bubbles which are really handy.










So i immediately go outside and shoot down this faerie. I have never liked tingle and I don't think anything will change my mind he is awful.











Next thing to do was to gain the bombers (gang of kids that do good deeds) trust. After bursting the leaders bubble and then finding them all in a game of hide and seek I am off to the astral observatory. Password 43152










Oh right i should mention if you don't already know, there is always a clock running in majora's mask. You only have 72 hours to do what you want before the moon crashes down and kills everyone. There is a way to prevent that coming up. Anyway astral observatory awesome colors, gets you the moon tear which is all we need to get to the clock tower.











On the final day at midnight the door opens and link is allowed to the top of the clock tower to battle the skull kid. It is not much of a battle you just hit him once with a bubble and he will drop the orcarina.











Which we immediately run and grab. This is the tool we need to return to the start and not get crushed by the moon. By playing the song of time the 72 hours are reset and you can go about you business.











Alright I'm a real boy again eat that Pinocchio. Happy mask salesman curse me of being a shrub with the song of healing and i get the deku mask so i can be a shrub whenever I want. Too bad for the mask salesman though he was pretty pissed when I didn't get his mask back.

Black Sheep

You ever get that feeling after you have done something amazing that maybe you will never make it there again? That maybe that was your magnum opus and that everything related to that henceforth will be compared to it and regarded as inferior? Well welcome to Shiegeru Miyamoto and all the other designers on the Majora's mask team's life. Not only did they follow the smash hit Orcarina of Time but they did it on the same system and in about 2 years. You will notice right away that this game is a lot like Orcarina of Time, link looks the same and your controls feel very similar it almost feels like an expansion. Even though a lot of the character models are the same, none of the termanians (people from termina)are exactly like their hyrulian counterpart, except for the happy mask salesman but that is because he is from hyrule. What I am trying to say here is that this game is NOT Orcarina of Time nor is it trying to be and to compare them is a little unfair. Judge Majora's mask on it's own merit as a game and you will see just how great it is.

This one is simple guys we have been told directly this game is a sequel to Orcarina of time. Period no argument doesn't get any simpler than that. Thats it here we go see you guys in the next post weeeeeeeeee.

Another One Bites the Dust











Left off just after the spirit temple. I didn't want to bother with any of the gerudo horseback archery or dungeon for the ice arrows headed strait to the temple of time and met up with Sheik.












She explains what happened when ganondorf tried to take the triforce and how 3 people now have a piece of the triforce link or latent as my name was this game is the holder of the triforce of courage













Another huge spoiler if you haven't played before sheik is princess Zelda and she is the final sage and the holder of the triforce of wisdom. Ganondorf being the holder of the final piece the triforce of power.
 After all her explaining she is encased in a crystal and carted away by ganondorf (this is in reference to a link to the past I would imagine). Before she is hauled away she does give us the light arrows (missed the picture). Anyway afterward we head out to conquer ganon's tower I chose the shadow wing first due to the golden gauntlets being located here.

 And there they are, really only get used about 3 times but they are ****ing sweet you feel like a badass when link chucks the giant rock over his head.












One of the uses of the golden gloves is to get into is this fairy fountain which in essence doubles your life by causing damage done to you to be halved.










Every medallion you have (6) has a mini dungeon you have to complete in order to gain access to ganondorf's final lair. This is a picture of what the doorways look like each having their respective emblem above them.










Beat all the mini dungeons climb the tower fight fearlessly and you reach your destination Ganondorf's throne room? Or opera theater I don't know. Anyway he was expecting you of course and he engages link in a battle for the triforce.











After throwing everything he can at you and you hitting it right back at him he will succumb to pain and die....











Well because he is the king of darkness instead of dying nicely he tries to kill link and Zelda by blowing up the tower and taking us with it. Luckily we escape and watch the remain of the tower to come crashing down.











Yeah when I said he was dead, might have been a bit preemptive. This guy is one mean green evil pig like machine (I don't think he is a machine it's just a saying). Anyway he also knocks away the master sword thankfully I have the beautiful biggoron sword so no problem











Kokri sword and shield to get started on your journey - 40 rupees
Goron Tunic and Zora's Tunic to complete the temples - 400 rupees
Finally getting to stab your sword enemy in the face and seal him in the dark realm - Priceless.











Picture says it all. After this Zelda uses the orcarina to send link back in time so that he can live his childhood.










WOOT the final scene in the game. Link approaches Zelda, we assume he is there to tell her about ganondorf and what his plans are so that he can be stopped before any of the event of this game take place. Alright good stuff best game of the series there but onwards we go next stop Majora's Mask.

Show a Little Spirit













Headed over to Gerudo Valley apparently they don't like guests but that hasn't stopped link before. Also Thankfully their jail cells  have open windows.










After saving all the imprisoned carpenters the gerudo 3rd in command tells me everything I need to know and gives me permission to use all their facilities. They really need to replace her.











Took off from there and had to squint really hard to get through the desert, but at the end there was no more sandstorms and some people had build a really giant statue. Also Sheik taught me a song so I don't have to walk back.











Last magic spell is found here in a cave so I grabbed it











Oh mama I would do her a favor anytime.










HEY owl haven't seen him in forever, too bad he is still useless and annoying.










Woot gloves that's it for the child portion time to go grow up.











Alright I am back and ready to kick ass










Having fun solving light puzzles











Awesome 2 treasures one temple this place rocks










I love this place not only is it fun but it looks amazing. I mean what a sweet place to put the boss door in the face of a medusa statue











It was hard to snap a photo they were spinning too fast. Another great boss battle, gets better as the game progresses.











Oh no they evolved this could get dicey.










Don't worry I handled it. Funny banter for the death scene.











Finally hottie turns out to be the sage. Excellent Link better get to know her better after he saves the world.

It Was a Graveyard Smash
























Oh man I hate this part of the game. I can only thing of twice I actually beat the shadow temple but gotta buckle down and power through.













decided I needed the big guns so i went and grabbed the biggoron sword











Also got the double magic meter because of the lens of truth











Got fire arrows too, never know when you might need them











Yay screw you dead hand. So far so good











Oh man here we go.












Man every wall in this place talks to you very annoying.











I like the way the boots look, they are somewhat useless but you do need them to pass certain points.
  
Nice decorating in this place I wish I had giant skulls in my house.
Ah gibdos I don't mind these guys that much I find the Re-Deads a lot worse
Apart from hating the temple I really like the boss. Bongo Bongo is awesome cool design and fun to beat
Man lots of people I knew turned out to be sages. Impa is pretty cool she could probably kick link's ass.
