December, 1998, one month after the release of Ocarina of Time. The game is a huge success, before hype for the game ends Nintendo plans to release it in its un-edited format to promote a new console which is a updated version of the Nintendo 64. Meanwhile, a development team is experimenting with N64 gamepaks, they had only recently discovered with OoT the potential gamepaks had, so they are using similiar graphics to OoT and making a game with un-traditional elements. When the year 1999 arrives the console is released, but it fails to catch on, Nintendo was planning for that console to be their next gen console into the new decade. They are forced to create something different, in order to buy time they must somehow keep the N64 appealing, they need a new game for it. The only project they can work with is that project a small group of people had been working on. They quickly develop the game to be consumer ready, and thus Majora's Mask was born. Released in October of 2000 the game quickly became popular amoungst fans of the Zelda series, the un-traditional format which the game was based around worked. MM had a deep, unique plot that felt refreashing, there was lots of sidequests to do which is somethings fans really like, and the game changed the way villians in the series could be potrayed.
14 years later, Majora's Mask has only grown in popularity. For one, the generation of kids, like myself, who grew up playing have only grown to respect it more, plus the game has connected with new generations, and it leads me to wonder how can a game that old still have so much appeal? Then it hit me, the game is unlike most games in the series, because its un-traditional it has a lot of appeal. Then I started to wonder, in the future should another game like Majora's Mask eventually be released? This is my question for all of you, should another game like Majora's Mask eventually be made? Please share your thoughts.
