If I had some way to play MM without having to buy another console, I'd be all over that game right now thanks to the OP.
What? Why? I thought he was pretty boring.farnham said:sephiran - this guy gives me some serious chills
Mama Robotnik said:I like the idea that the Majora entity is leagues above Ganondof in demonic power.
A theory I've been bouncing about:
EatChildren said:He'd be a perfect fit for Skyward Sword, but Nintendo wont do it because it would make too much sense.
Rez said:Nintendo won't do it because they don't care about the story on anything more than a point a to b motivator level. They care insofar as the scenario is concerned. The actual content is and always will be there to facilitate that on a superficial level that anyone from the ages and six and up can easily understand. It's time to accept this as a fact of life.
Ezalc said:Why? We know next to nothing about the game story wise. Why would Majora be a perfect fit for this new Zelda game, it makes no sense to me.
Actually Aonuma cares very much about the story. I mean how could you say this when Twilight Princess and The Wind Waker was reliant on Ocarina of Time's story for it's own storylines? Those games are so intertwined together it's ridiculous.Rez said:Nintendo won't do it because they don't care about the story on anything more than a point a to b motivator level.

Not really, no. Not every aspect of a good book or movie has to be multi-faceted, especially if they're not central to its larger meaning. The purpose of some characters is to just drive the conflict, nothing more.Freezie KO said:In realms outside of videogames, this is known as one-dimensional and shallow. Literature and (quality) films would giggle at this.
No not really. Did you even pay attention to their plot? The Wind Waker, in particular, continued off where Ocarina of Time left off. The whole plot itself relies on Ocarina of Time's plot to drive it's story. With Twilight Princess it's more subtle, as it explains what happens to Ganondorf in the Child Timeline in it's backstory. Admittedly the plot to Twilight Princess focuses mainly on Midna's story rather than Ganondorf's, and has a lot of details about stuff that happened in ancient Hyrule in it's backstory interestingly enough. Even if you take each game as a single legend, Aonuma still cares very much about the story and continuity between the titles he directs and produces.Rez said:They're intertwined because it takes very little effort to say they are
This doesn't make sense...Rez said:Hyrule didn't flood because the Hero of Time left it. The Hero of Time left because Hyrule was flooded.
Rez said:I think he cares very much about forcing different brands of Lego pieces together, sure. It doesn't make the final product anything more than a Frankenstein of different ideas dreamed up by different people for different purposes.
EatChildren said:Because people have been complaining for a long time now that Ganondorf as a recurring villain with the same motives has become tiresome. If Skyward sword is indeed early in the timeline as some people theorise, then it could be a good opening to do an origin story for Majora, an established villain who has only appeared in one game.
Ezalc said:Yeah I know but I'm worried usually the new FE games haven't looked all that great and that goes for the GCN ones. The artstyle doesn't seem to transition well into 3D. I would absolutely love a FE4 remake on the console as look as it looks damn good and the make Sigurd into the motherfucking badass he is.
Also to the other poster, considering all the shit Manfloy does to Sigurd let alone all the others he fucks with then yes I believe he's easily the most evil Nintendo villain ever. I also never said he was evil for the sake of evil.
In the Pokemon manga the entire Elite 4 is evil and is part of team rocket. Some of the gym leaders are part of team rocket or were, and they do horrible shit. The ice gym leader from Gold/Silver whose name I forget, he kidnaps 4 young children (one of which is silver if I remember correctly) and brainwashes them into becoming his minions and shit so he can fuck up the world because of some dumbass reason. Also he almost succeeds in killing Gold. And that's just the tip of it. Sometimes I wish the games had the manga's darker plot, it would make it much more interesting than the boring ass "plots" the games have.
The scenario writers came up with the idea of a flooded Hyrule first, then afterwards came up with a reason why.Big One said:This doesn't make sense...
Ashhong said:Man the final battle vs Majora was such a let down since I used the Deity mask. My own fault I guess.
Yeah, looking up in stereo 3D would give the sky a real sense of depth, the moon a real sense of weight. Not to mention the mask spinning toward the screen when you boot up the game... Or Link falling into the depths of time whenever he travels back to the first day... Or the wave of fire rolling toward the screen when the world ends... MM makes more sense for the 3DS than OoT, which is why I hope they'll remake MM at some point as well. Most of the assets will already be available by way of OoT 3D...Jason's Ultimatum said:At least we'll probably get a 3DS remake.
The sinister moon popping out of the screen should be a hoot.
apana said:My guess is that Majora's Mask has some connections to the Twili tribe in Twilight Princess. They say that the mask was created by dark sorcerers or a dark tribe. I have the feeling that Majora is Termina's equivalent of the leader of the dark interlopers in Hyrule. In Skyward Sword we could possibly face Majora's Hyrulian equivalent.
Big One said:But Majora's Mask DID come from Hyrule.
Well, it's very possible in the very least, since HMS is able to travel between both dimensions freely.
The_Technomancer said:Is it ever explained why the moon moves at a pace approaching molasses?
Duki said:k one thing the op fucked up
the whole majoras plan is perfect thing. the plan wasnt perfect; the point was that in the end he was undone by his own sadism. he was himself responsible for sending link through termina, cos he wanted to fuck with him some more.
literally an obvious literary technique.
apana said:The Zelda story is important to Aonuma. He shares the official timeline with the director of each new entry. Sure they usually get a story together after the gameplay has been laid down, but that doesn't mean there is no story. If you think the story is lame, well I don't know, you don't have to pay attention.
Mama Robotnik said:The three bearers of the Triforce versus Majora.
That would be a pleasant direction for a future game.
Mama Robotnik said:The core story of Majora's Mask, the existence of Termina, the Majora entity, none of them are ever mentioned again. Considering that it may be the most interesting Zelda story ever told, it's a real shame. Especially when the events of OOT are so continually alluded to.
Mama Robotnik said:Its interesting that, despite Aonuma's habit to reference his previous Zelda games, Majora's Mask is rarely ever mentioned. There's the appearance of a Skull-Kid like ghost creature in TP, and Tingle's recurring appearances, but they're no more than minor nods.

If Majora was ever brought back, they could pull a great bait and switch. Big up Ganondorf for the first quarter of the game or so, then introduce Majora as the deranged psychopath that totally dwarfs his power. Ganondorf would have to fight him, hell everything in Hyrule would. He is an Extinction Level Event incarnate. This would also provide a nice new role for Ganondorf, that of the ally of circumstance. The three bearers of the Triforce versus Majora.

Kard8p3 said:To have Ganon be the pawn for once could be interesting. He'd finally see what it feels like. It would be cool to see Majora come back but by doing more with the character it could possibly damage the mystery behind him. It might be best to leave him as is.

Mama Robotnik said:His manifestation is tremendously unsettling
When he chooses to emerge from the mask, he is a flashy cross-dressing transvestite who's penis is tucked away. He paints his body and whips boys behinds in Key West.
exactly. majora's story is great. majora's story is over. let it stay that way.Fimbulvetr said:Personally I think it's okay to have Majora as a one off villain, it's more interesting that way.

Duderz said:How is the VC release of Majora's Mask? This thread has pushed me over the edge to replay this game.
John said:exactly. majora's story is great. majora's story is over. let it stay that way.
and not just because i like new things. extra story tacked onto majora would kill the perverted mystery that surrounds the character, which is what makes it so fascinating.
The_Technomancer said:...that's....actually a really good argument. Bravo.
