News Majora's Mask Fan Project Returns With VR Teaser
"It's so hard to work in projects without any budget"
Way back in mid-2014, when The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D was just wishful thinking, a fan project caught the web's attention; this was in the form of a new trailer after an initial tease in 2012. It managed to avoid Nintendo's Takedown Team (we imagine those staff have special t-shirts...

And triggers speculation of Nintendo and Google hook-up, of course
It's no secret that a lot of people who work in the tech industry are also pretty passionate gamers - the two go hand-in-hand for many people. Taking this into account, it shouldn't come as a massive shock to learn that one of Google's staffers is a big Zelda fan. So big in fact that...

Video Did You Know Gaming? Tackles The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
The history of a classic
We rather like the Did You Know Gaming channel here on Nintendo Life, as it neatly summarises familiar and sometimes fresh trivia on iconic games. Nintendo titles get plenty of coverage, and next up is The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Drawing on sources recent and otherwise, including an Iwata Asks for The Legend of...

Weirdness eBay Listings for the Club Nintendo Majora's Mask Light Set a High Price
Nintendo should really sell more of this stuff
In this latest entry of 'the internet does the strangest things', we have the entrepreneurial activities around the Club Nintendo Majora's Mask Light, pictured above. Listed earlier today on Club Nintendo in PAL territories, the cool but rather modest light - measuring just 12cm by 12cm - is already...
News PAL Gamers Can Brighten Their Day With This Club Nintendo Majora's Mask Light
Not a terrible fate at all
We're well into the final stretch of Club Nintendo's existence, putting the pressure on us all to spend our last coins and stars before the service shuts down for good.

Weirdness The Moon in Majora's Mask Probably Has a Black Hole Inside, Because Science
Physics is actually fun
We rather enjoy videos and articles that essentially serve as 'stealth education' here at Nintendo Life. Take a much-loved game or topic and apply scientific logic to it, and you have the ingredients for a video that's both entertaining and fascinating. That criteria certainly applies to this video focused on why the moon in...

News Majora's Mask 3D Glitch Unlocks Fierce Deity Link Anywhere
Plus early access to forbidden areas
It's logical to think that remakes not only improve in both visual and playability departments, but also on the removal of glitches that once existed in the original cartridge's confines. Take the first generation of Pokemon games for instance - a great set of games, but packed with game-breaking glitches...

News Eiji Aonuma Explains Why Tingle is Such a Peculiar Character
Even more peculiar is a question on his sexuality
When Tingle appeared in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask he wasn't well-received by everyone - that's a little odd, considering this is a franchise with talking rock-based creatures, a villain that transforms into an enormous hog-thing and more. Nevertheless, he's a character that some just don't...

Milkin' it at the perfect time...
Popular YouTuber Smooth McGroove is at it again, and this time he tackles the 'Milk Bar' from Majora's Mask with a great level of detail and precision (as always).

News Eiji Aonuma Launches a Majora's Mask 3D Art Academy Contest on Miiverse
May have had a PA write the post, we'll never know
We're well aware that a good number of the Nintendo Life community are rather talented artists, or perhaps enjoy looking at others' masterpieces, so it's worth noting that one of the best Art Academy: SketchPad contests to date is underway.

Video Man at Arms Crew Forges Link's Fierce Deity Sword
We can't mask our enthusiasm
Certain people make a hobby of taking fictional pointy things and bringing them into reality.

This time, however, the swordsmiths of Baltimore Knife and Sword have taken on...

News Majora's Mask Fan Project Gets a New Trailer, Even Showing a Scene on 3DS
Good luck with Nintendo's lawyers
Update: After initially publishing this video with no description, Pablo Belmonte has responded to enquiries of what this project is with some 'legal terms', suggesting this project is 'interactive' but not a remake. The final form it'll take is unclear, though the aim is apparently to present the finished product...

News This Majora's Mask Cake is Legendary
Yep, slow news day
When it comes to The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Nintendo's successfully kept demand for a remake at bay — speculation and iffy-looking shop 'listings' will continue until the end of time, or until a fresh release is announced. In any case, the fanbase for the N64 classic will continue to find ways to honour its status in...

News The Zeldathon Adventure Kicks Off This Week To Raise a Whole Lot of Rupees
Link to the Cash
While the majority of us play games simply for entertainment or perhaps because it's our biggest hobby, some groups use that passion to set world records, enter competitions or, in the case of Zeldathon, try and raise a lot of cash for charity. The Zeldathon Adventure kicks off on 10th July and will be the 12th fundraiser from the...

E3 2014 Did Zelda Williams Just Tease Majora's Mask 3D?
We're speculating, salt at the ready
We know that Nintendo likes to be in control. We imagine that those participating in its live streams and the Super Smash Bros. Invitational have had to jump through so many hoops that they'll feel like circus performers, as the company relentlessly keeps major events 'on message'; when that message is full of...

News Swedish Speedrunner Breaks Record For Fastest Zelda: Majora's Mask Playthrough
Because he can
Speed-runs seem like a dime a dozen these days, with new records being broken all the time. Although they seem like a fad to some, others are extremely passionate about them and spend a generous amount of time figuring out how to beat the clock. A few months back, we talked about one such individual, Cosmo Wright, whose January 2013...

News Majora's Mask "Time's End" Music Beautifully Reimagined by Rozen
Epic
It's unsurprising that The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is treasured by many Nintendo gamers, with the calls for a remake persisting on a yearly basis.

News Speedrunner Alert - Majora's Mask Glitch Allows Unexpected Warps
It's on
It seems that we can't get away from speedrunning at the moment, which is absolutely fine by us. Not too long ago we had a whole week of runs with the Awesome Games Done Quick event, which did an outstanding job to raise over $1,000,000 for charity. Away from fundraising, however, speedrunning is a major passion in the gaming world, and...

Weirdness This Real-life Majora's Mask Is Incredible
Majorly cool
If you've ever played the sequel-of-sorts to the N64 classic The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, then you'll understand why owning your very own Majora's Mask might not be a very good idea. Much like The One Ring from J.R.R. Tolkien's classic The Lord of the Rings novels, or, more fittingly, the Fused Shadows from The Legend of...
