Ohh the Happy Mask salesman won't be happy with that .
But wasn't it also discussed, rumoured and commented on when OoT3D came out?
And next year is going to be Zelda U, unless Nintendo is going to launch two Zelda games next year.
I can see this reaching "Link is a girl" levels of logic. Like others have said masks in these festivals are a common thing and Majoras Mask is iconic to Zelda, so it's more likely a situation where they wanted to have link in this traditional japanese festivity and put the mask on him. Not any more.
This thread is not reaching more than any other piece of "Majora's Mask teasing" seen so far.Nintendo just drew Majora's Mask in official artwork for the first time in almost 15 years at a time of high-intensity teasing for a MM remake. How is this thread reaching more than anything else we've seen so far?!
Ok. And which of those has a whole game named after it?
as if that was ever in question. Over the past two years or so:
1. Happy Mask Man's bag is in his shop in OOT 3D
2. Miyamoto said they would move onto Majora's Mask after an original 3DS Zelda (ALBW)
3. Majora's Mask was featured in Animal Crossing and showed off by Bill Trinen
4. Majora's Mask placed inside your goddamn house, the single most visited location in A Link Between Worlds.
5. Majora's Mask soundtrack was offered as a club Nintendo prize, completely at random.
6. Majora's Mask replica at the Smash Bros invitational.
7. teases of Grezzo working on a Zelda title, including their staff advertisement.
8. and now this
amongst many other things I've since forgotten

Unless I'm mistaken didn't somebody else just say that they're doing a series of "Nintendo characters in the summer" series of images?They could have done this at any time during the last 15 years, but they're doing it now while simultaneously teasing Majora's Mask all over the place.

You have to realize the reaching level has always been pretty high.
People at Nintendo remember about Majora's Mask. That's all you can take from this promotional picture. Stop doing this to yourself. Or keep going and look like a fool.
I think it's more likely that they just wanted a couple of summer themed Nintendo illustrations than a marketing department secretly teasing stuff through Club Nintendo... The illustrator probably sat there and and prepared what was asked of him, a summer themed Zelda illustration. Wether a remake of Majora's Mask ends up happening or not, and I think it will eventually, this wallpaper has little to do with it, it seems to me.The illustrator wouldn't have sat there and prepared a random image – everything is produced according to spec. The Marketing department would have requested this image, and that department is well aware of Nintendo's release strategy for the next couple of years.
Oh, come on, now.Second row far left: Pokémon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition
Would you mind posting a link to the 1920x1080 version for those who don't have Japanese CN accounts(such as myself)? I'd appreciate it a lot!Laame, this is the one I got.
Makes up for it with cute factor.

6. Majora's Mask replica at the Smash Bros invitational.
But Zelda is in an advertisement for oot3d therefore the fact she was invited and had that with her clearly implies that half life 3.It's her favorite game of all time. She just wanted to show it off.
Mario 3D World 2 with rideable yoshis confirmedLaame, this is the one I got.

Someone at Nintendo remembers Majora's Mask CONFIRMED.
WOOT. I guess.
No, it redirects to the Sign In page ._. Do you think you could rehost the wallpapers somewhere? That would be awesome.Does this work for you?
No, it's not showing up on my end.Does this work for you?
But you don't think Nintendo knew that her favourite game was Majora's Mask, and thus invited her, predicting she might bring some Majora's Mask memorabilia? Think about it...

Anyone care to upload the iPhone versions of these wallpapers? I just realize I can't open these without a Japanese account (missed it in the OP).

Thanks a lot! You really went all out. That's perfect! Thanks for making the thread as well, wouldn't have seen these otherwise.
Guys 2015 will be Majora's Mask 15th anniversary, Nintendo will release it next year and we will all love it.
This is them teasing us since they know that we know but they are still being coy about it.
Following Yoshi's New Island and Super Mario 3D World-themed summer wallpapers released last week, Nintendo has today released a new piece of Zelda artwork featuring Link sporting a yukata, fan, and – most importantly – Majora's Mask.
