This Majora features Young Link only, but he still rides Epona and still has sweet items like the Bow and Hookshot. You also get Masks which allow you to transform into a Deku, Goron, and Zora. This adds whole new gameplay mechanics. Deku Link flies, Goron Link Rolls, and Zora Link swims. Yes Masks are the lure of the game as there are plenty to collect and many do diffrent things..like the bunny hood which makes Link run faster.
The game is like Ocarina of Time only in presentation and controls. The game has 4 main dungeons, and since you have to keep going back in time with the Song of Time before the 3 day time limit, there's an opportunity to redo old dungeons and events related to each. This is a good and bad thing. The good is you can beat a dungeon and if you run out of time you can just go right back and right to the boss fight. Speaking of bosses, the ones I fought so far have been redone and are HARDER than they were on N64.
Overall though, the game is a lot easier. It gives you a brief journal to keep track of happenings with characters in the game. Also with the double song of time you can jump forward to almost any point in time you wish. Its really convenient. Of course, like with the Ocarina remake you dont have to pause the game to select items...
The Verdict: Zelda Majora's Mask isnt for everyone....but I can see why its a cult favorite of many Zelda fans. Its looks really good and plays better than ever!
