Edit: Not proud of this review these days, but leaving it up in case anyone wants to read.
A masterpiece of existential horror, Majora's Mask creates a unique feeling unlike any other game.
Because of the amount of depth in the NPCs' lives, they begin to feel like real people, and as a result you feel that imposing sense of doom even more strongly. That you are truly letting the lives of such a bright & happy town perish.
But you can still do good within this three day period. You help those in need, you bring comfort to these people in the face of dread. And that is your purpose as the hero of this story. Even when facing that inevitable end, you make the most of the time you have left to connect with those around you.
That's the best way I can sum up the beauty of Majora's Mask. The setting, the characters, the mechanics & how they intertwine with the story and the atmospheric music all come together to create this one-of-a-kind canvas covering all facets of human emotion. There will never be a game like this ever again.
