Speaking purely critically, I would give this a 9/10, but the amount of love, care, heart, and soul this game has makes that rating feel almost unfair. Majora's Mask has the reputation of "how did Nintendo put this out", but I would wager that this game raises that question more, since the themes in this are incredibly mature and thought out to the point where you almost don't even believe Nintendo made it. Not much I can say, it really is a play-it-to-believe-it type game. Beautiful music, touching story, loveable characters, and a narrative that's surprisingly gripping and much more of a throughline than most of Nintendo's other works (EarthBound included). Play it, it's good, you'll cry, and that's okay. The gods are watching over you.
