‘The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D’ review: a frustrating but rewarding adventure

Some games have dynastic chips on their shoulders. Some are remasters trying to survive in a modern, graphics-intensive gaming world. Majora’s Mask 3D definitely falls into both of these categories.

For the record, I didn’t have the privilege of playing the original game when it was launched in 2000 for the Nintendo 64, but the game has become one of the most successful and most loved titles in the Nintendo stable. It was a massive hit for the company, and still leaves many gamers with twitchy fingers and dodgy nightmares.

Flash forward to 2015 and The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D is essentially a remastered and ported version running on the mobile New Nintendo 3DS platform. A few things have changed compared to the original (from what I’ve heard), but it largely remains the same in its inherent formula.
