These Cut Scenes Never Made it Into Majora's Mask
Posted by James Newton
Yet here they are
It's always fascinating to see what gets left out of games before they make it to players, and while these two cut scenes from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask aren't the most exciting we've ever seen they do show Link doing press-ups, so that's something.
The clips below come from a beta version of the game, but we won't spoil things by telling you what relevance they have to the story; if you're familiar with Termina, you should have no problems figuring it out for yourself.

Cut scene 2
Thanks to Robert for the tip.

So they were basically just tutorials by the Great Fairy? Not much of a loss. I probably would've found these annoying too, seeing as most players have already figured out to hold B...

Its always cool to see things left out of games. Sonic 2 had some really cool levels left on the cutting room floor. Gametrailers did a feature on it.

There's something strangely sexual about these videos.

The first vid looks like a Rocky training montage.
I can just hear eye of the tiger playing along with it.
Weird thing to put in a Zelda game. Glad they left that out.

Wow, those are...odd, to say the least. Surely don't look like they belong in Zelda.

maybe they were too hilarious? I always find zelda games to have an extremely polite sense of humour

That first video looks like Link is exercising and then transforms into Fierce Deity Link. Wish I could get results like that in the gym!!

...what...? That was random and irrelevant.

@Shworange
Random? Zelda story when Skyward Sword is just released and the biggest Nintendo game in a long time. Not so random.
Irrelevant? How could previously unseen video of a retro Zelda game be irrelevant in the retro section of Nintendo life?
So... I guess no, it wasn't random and irrelevant.
It seems like it was entertaining to at least a few of us, too.

"ben drowned" has now made it so that anything from Majora's Mask now makes me a bit frightened and apprehensive.

Kid_A said:
Why didn't that Rocky training montage make it into the game?

Noire said:
That was not inappropriate at all.

How did he do sit ups with that giant shield on his back?

MasterGraveheart said:
I gotta say... this is going to cause a lot more... questionable fanfics. @.@
Also, Link would have gotten his Fierce Deity form from the training with the Great Fairy? Huh...
@Godot: He's Link. That's how!

WTF was that! Such a weird and creepy game but It's great. I can see why these cut scenes weren't in the actual game... weird. Especially the first one O.O

(Watches clips)

P.S.
@warioswoods: What are you talking about?

Sakura_Moonlight2421 said:
I think the second video was of the Great Fairy teaching Link how to do the spin slash.

@warioswoods Just looked that up... It scared me to not want to play the game again... Even though I know they are just edited. Still creepy stuff.

So no one comments on it when I make a topic about it but they do when there's a news article of it.

Jumpman said:
@Wamtu he is talking about a really creepy story online.
Look it up if you want to get scared

That first one surprised me, though it does explain the glitch I heard about

Bassman_Q said:
So in the first clip, we see Link "working out" with the Great Fairy as a boy. Then suddenly we see him some time later, transformed into a man.
I think we can make some wierd and strange assumptions of what went on to make Link into a man.

the great fairy always looked like a creepy blow-up doll to me. shudder.

Wamtu said:
@Jumpman: Okay...there's one thing I'll never, ever see.

They probably edited it out because it was too sexual

Exactly what I was thinking. Until I read BlackFira’s comment (19.) ...
It would be great if in the future they’d include good left out stuff in a second-playthrough-quest. That would be great DLC as well.

@sketchturner (8.):



@PhoenixCake (14.): Yeah, i was extremely disappointed as well.
@mariofanatic128 (24.): Sorry dude, no time for the forums.
@Qwikman_N_Bass (27.): You’re killing me.
@k8sMum (28.): More like a threatening Drag Queen to me but your connotation is “nice“ too. Tingle’s got nothing on this horrorshow.

Wait, there are still people who don't know about the creepypasta for this game? My brother couldn't sleep for days after he read that. lol.
On topic, though, these cutscenes are adorable. I wish they were kept in the game, honestly. Plus, when the Great Fairy positions Link's arm in the second cutscene, I was a bit in awe because it looked really good.
