Majora's Mask 3D


Soooo... Majora's mask got a remake on the 3DS. Okay you were expecting Saint's Row, I know but I was meant to do it last week, but I had my wisdom teeth out and was in far too much pain to give two shits, so I apologise and next week, we'll get around to Saint's Row 1 and 2. Now two versions were released, a regular and a special edition, now I bought the special edition version.
Now included in the box with the game is a double sided poster...
a kickass steelbook...
And in a glorious ringbox, a majora's mask pin badge.
Now this set is really good and is worth the extra £5. But what about the game. Well it's Majora's Mask, it's the same game with changes, for example, the hint stone from Ocarina of Time 3D is inside the clock tower's basement with the mask salesman...
An updated save system where the song of time no longer saves, but the owl statues do as well as save statues that are all over the place, though you can only warp to the owl ones. One of the bottles being swapped with a heart piece as well as the circus leader's mask actually having a purpose to lead towards a new 7th bottle. Another change and it's a big change is the bomber's notebook which you now get slightly earlier.
This now contains events from people outside of clock town as well. Though the main changes of the game are the bosses... danger spoilers.

While it's always said that the bosses' heads were masks, with Odolwa, it was the only one that looked like a mask, now it reveals that the bosses true face is a giant eyeball behind their masks, the eyes of Majora, so basically each boss is a piece of Majora. The best improvement however is the fight with Twinmold and the use of the Giant's mask, let's just say LINK SMASH! But I will say the Twinmold boss... the amount of health this thing has now, makes Devil May Cry say tone it down.
Returning from Ocarina of Time 3D is the fishing ponds and they factor absolutely nothing to the game, it's just an extra bit of fun on the side.
The Zora mask has been changed as well, you only swim at high speed when you use your magical barrier, this is so you can swim carefully without well, crashing into everything like in the N64 version.

So basically all the graphic errors and issues that plagued the original version have been dealt with and it's a much game for it, though there is one complaint I have, because well it's me... in the moon, the zora challenge has been changed, the rest haven't, just the zora one. Anyway, you now have to go through tunnels correctly four times in a row by jumping out of the water otherwise you'll go through a portal back to the start. THIS TOOK ME HALF AN HOUR! Whoever's idea this was and I find out who you are, I'm going to eat a rancid kebab, break into your house and take a diarrhea shit on your bedsheets and in your fucking sink. So overall should you buy Majora's Mask 3DS, well if you haven't played the original or even if you have, yes you should totally buy it, it's a faithful remake... oh and I forgot, the songs you learn can be displayed on the bottom screen when you play the ocarina.
