Majora's Mask 3D takes what was a masterpiece and makes it... mostly the same except it looks broadly more appealing from a graphical standpoint (while sacrificing that moodiness N64 games naturally held), and they've replaced some of the "jankier" aspects of the original with new, more complex forms of frustrating mechanical aspects. Most of the ways they chose to "fix" the game feel misguided at best, but there are a few welcome changes tucked away in here.

I'd say if you want a marginally more consumable version of the Majora's Mask, this is kind of what you're looking for? But you're probably just better off playing the original since it's not only the easier version to set up and play but also feels more even in visuals and design, more authentic. Whereas Majora's Mask 3D feels lost in time, one foot in the N64 era and the other foot in the 3DS era, full of half-formed ideas on how to improve upon a game that perhaps didn't even really need improving upon.

The cover goes pretty hard though.
