Video Game Review: Zelda Majora's Mask 3D

Zelda Majora's Mask....was one of my least favorite Zelda's when i played it on N64 over 10 years ago. However maybe that's just because I rage quitted on the final boss and never beat it.  However after playing this new version, for the 3ds, I gotta say its one of my favorites.

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!


9.2/10

Doja Cat Albums Worst to Best

 Doja Cat has been one of my favorite rapper/singers of the past few years. Let's see which albums are the best from her. 5) Amala (88)- Doja’s first album is honestly pretty damn good. You can tell she was still refining her sound tho on this. The last 3 songs “Juicy”, “Tia Tamera”, and “Mooo” are so good. “Candy” is another banger. The album is really well balanced being pretty much good in all areas but not really great in any tho. Favorite Track: Mooo. 4) Scarlet (90)- Believe it or not, this was an album I was on the fence about getting. I’m glad I got it. This is a rap heavy album but there’s still plenty of singing here and there. “Demons” and “F**k the GIrls” are Doja at her roughest. “Attention” was a great single. “Agora Hills” is a nice cute track. The monster single “Paint the Town Red” is the best track however. This album wa a big departure for her, but for the most part it paid off. Fav. Track Paint the Town Red. 3) Vie (92)- This was Doja returning to her pop roots,...

Video Game Review: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

 I happened to beat this game recently for the first time in I was just in awe at how epic this game is. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a sequel to Final Fantasy 7 Remake (which I played on the ps4). This game was a ps5 exclusive however. I know I needed a ps5 if I was gonna play it. And last year I made that happen. This is a continuation of the story of Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, and Barrett as they fight against the Shinra Corporation and the evil Sephiroth. I'll try not spoil much. When the game starts you play as Zack who is a solider like Cloud. You saw Zack at the end of Remake. Basically story wise there is another dimension in this game and you play as Zach in it here and there. There is a relationship meter that the main character Cloud has with every party member….answering certain questions one way or another will change the relationship. I found this to be a cool touch that the first game barely had any resemblance of. The game's graphics are outstanding and characters look ...

Kanye West Albums Ranked (2026 Revision)

16) Vultures 2 (72)- It should be no surprise this album is the worst of the bunch. It just comes off as lazy and uninspired most of the time. The production is decent tho. “Bomb” features Yuno Miles and his daughters: North and Chicago West…..and it's really corny. “Husband” is just god awful. I don’t know what he was going for with that one! “Fried” is pretty dope tho….and you can see the potential of “530”. 15) Donda 2 (75) - I haven’t had a lot of time to sit with this one. It’s not that bad tho…in fact it’s kind of average. I really like “City of God” which features Alicia Keys and Five Foreign. Sure lyrically its not great but the production again isn’t bad. Ultimately I feel like this has little to do with the first Donda album…. 14) 808s and Heartbreak (83) - You may be shocked to see this still near the bottom of his discography. While I bumped the score up a little from last time, I still feel 808’s isn’t all that. I love “Heartless” as it’s probably the best song. “Love...
