Terrific game which a charmed

First off:
Anyone who reads this review should be aware of: I am a Zelda Majora's Mask veteran and have played at that time 14 years ago when a release. Back then Majora's Mask was both graphically and gameplay from unique. Something like you can claim in 2015, of course not. Graphically there are already at least since Crysis much prettier things and also the gameplay is similar in many action adventure or role playing games.

So if you want so much to be carved "blown away" as I will probably be rather disappointed at the time.

What's this?
Majora's Mask is about the successors of Zelda - Ocarina of Time.
After the hero Link has been abandoned by his companion Navi he goes in search of her.
Of course there the adventure begins then at once. Link is sneaky attacked by a strange creature and turns of this to make matters worse, even in a woody Kobold (Deku).
The hero thus gets to acquire his old face back on track and is thereby deeply involved in the fate of the inhabitants of the world.

How is the gameplay?
The gameplay is typical Zelda. The hero fights mainly with sword and shield. Here, the combat system is not turn based. One must therefore analyze only the opponents often and carefully at these Fumble. Quite often it is necessary to proceed with a variety of different items against opponents. Opponents AI is understood but usually fast and the fighting should not be a big challenge.

What is new is the "three-day" system. Because the world will end in three days you have available as a hero even only 72 hours rescue. However, a time pressure arises not because you can rewind time as often-but also slow.
Moves you back the time to pay attention, however, some (unimportant) items that will be lost and you must get them to hire new. Also resets the world. Therefore, each character experienced the story anew. But this is also necessary so that one everyone has enough time to devote to the story and to fulfill all sidequests.

Overall, the game focuses less on Dungeons in the usual sense.
Ocarina of Time for example, has nine fairly complex dungeons moment during Majora's Mask only four piece has to be solved more quickly overall.
The number of jobs and quests outside of Dungeons has increased exponentially, however. Almost every character has a backstory that can be discovered in a Quest.

The mask principle:
As it suggests, the title has to do something with the game masks. Overall, one can find 24 masks the sometimes more or sometimes less have interesting properties. Some masks give a completely new skills (running underwater, explode ...) other masks help to fulfill a quest. It is very motivating to change out with a mask as certain interactions. Opponents, characters and environments can be completely different reactions depending mask.

What makes Majora's Mask so special?
This legitimate question is answered quickly in my eyes: The game depth.
Who gets involved with the game and is immersed in the story of and to Terminia will be rewarded with lots of atmosphere and feelings. The producer has already then noticed the original that he has intentionally left many things open, so you can worry about himself. There are an incredible variety of subtle clues. I recommend everyone who played the game to deal with the Internet theories about Majora's Mask. You will be surprised what you will find everything so.
Not least because it is precisely the theme of transience is dealt with in the game. Often one gets stark contrasts of melancholy / depression and relief / pleasure to see so that you start to doubt whether it really should be a game for kids. As already mentioned but these are often subtle and a child would probably not at all remarkable.

Who will enjoy this game?
- People like the story
- People like the Skyrim / Gothic / Fallout
- Zelda fans
- Puzzle fans

Who will have no pleasure in this game?
- Especially action-oriented gamers (Call of Duty, Counter Strike)
- Impatient gamers or those which deal only a few minutes at a time with the game
- People is unimportant / boring for the story

How heavy is the game?
It is mitlerweile beginners optimized through numerous assistance.
Overall, it's a little more difficult than Ocarina of Time. Intermediate It should however create repays.

The game is also quite gender-independent. It is accessible to both women and men.
I would recommend this game about 14 years. From the violence ago, it is certainly also from six available, but who want to enjoy the game completely should be able to understand a bit more sophisticated and above all subtle things.
