Now this is the good stuff。 The character， drama， and emotion of the classic Zelda tale turned up to max by a great manga adaptation。 The source material carries the story overall， with its dark tone and creatively misreabke scenarios。 The additions and changes only add to the realism of the story。 The thing is， it's too short and therefore very rushed and disconnected。 Now this is the good stuff。 The character， drama， and emotion of the classic Zelda tale turned up to max by a great manga adaptation。 The source material carries the story overall， with its dark tone and creatively misreabke scenarios。 The additions and changes only add to the realism of the story。 The thing is， it's too short and therefore very rushed and disconnected。 。。。more

while i REALLY ended up liking the ocarina of time manga， this one was。。。。a little lackluster。 probably not due to any fault of himekawa， but because the original game likely just Doesn't lend itself well to this sort of adaptation。 it went by way too quickly， and all the atmosphere of the game was lost。 i do think it handled skullkid very well though， and the bonus majora origin story was a cool touch while i REALLY ended up liking the ocarina of time manga， this one was。。。。a little lackluster。 probably not due to any fault of himekawa， but because the original game likely just Doesn't lend itself well to this sort of adaptation。 it went by way too quickly， and all the atmosphere of the game was lost。 i do think it handled skullkid very well though， and the bonus majora origin story was a cool touch 。。。more

This one was much better than the previous two books。 It did a better job of bringing the story of the game alive without feeling feeling rushed。 Obviously not everything was included - the final dungeon was glazed over and a lot of the side quests （which were a big part of the game） were either not there at all or barely hinted at - but what was there was well written。

The Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask by Akira Himekawa is a graphic novel based on the game by the same name that released in 2000。 This book is very faithful to the story of the game and I can say that as someone who has played the original game and the remake that released in 2014。 Most Zelda books and games take place in a version of the kingdom of Hyrule but this story is one of the few that doesn't。 This book takes place after the events of the book series The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time The Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask by Akira Himekawa is a graphic novel based on the game by the same name that released in 2000。 This book is very faithful to the story of the game and I can say that as someone who has played the original game and the remake that released in 2014。 Most Zelda books and games take place in a version of the kingdom of Hyrule but this story is one of the few that doesn't。 This book takes place after the events of the book series The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time （and again the game by the same name）， at the end of this series of books the main character Link is returned to his childhood after being frozen in time for 7 years and defeating the evil king who took over the kingdom during his slumber。 When Link is sent back to his 7 year younger self his companion， Navi， runs away without warning， this is what sets the story of Majoras Mask in motion。 Link leaves to the nearby woods to search for Navi， he is then attacked by two fairies， Tatl and Tael。 Tatl and Tael drive Link of his horse while someone called the Skullkid steals the horse while Link is distracted。 Skullkid also steals the Ocarina of Time from Link， playing this instrument allows the user to travel through time this is what Link used to be returned to his childhood。 Link then chases after Skullkid until he sees Skullkid ride off into a hole inside a tree， Link follows but he then falls down inside the tree but lands safely on a large flower。 Link then sees Skullkid floating in front of him with his Ocarina and while wearing a creepy mask that emits a dark purple "glow"。 Skullkid then turns Link into what is called a "Deku Scrub" which is like a wooden smaller version of himself。 Skullkid then tells Link that his horse is probably dead and then he leaves with the fairy Tael but leaves Tatl behind。 Link and Tatl decided the best way out of the tree is to team up but upon their exit they find they are in a strange land called Termina， and when they look up they see a large moon with a face that is eerily close to the ground。 Link also meets a man called the Happy Mask Salesman who tells him he can turn Link back to his former self if Link gets the mask back from Skull Kid that is called "Majoras Mask"。 Link then explores Termina for 3 days， each day the moon moves closer， on the 3rd day Termina is celebrating a festival and that's the only time the top of clock tower is able to be reached。 Link sees Skullkid atop the clock tower and he goes up himself。 The moon is nearly touching the ground and Link and Skullkid engage in a battle where all Link can manage to do is knock his Ocarina out of Skullkids hand。 The moon will destroy the world in a matter of minutes so Link decides to play "The Song of Time"。 This returns Link to the beginning of the 3 day cycle， the moon is back up in the sky for now。 The Happy Mask Salesman then again sees Link and he agrees to teach Link "The Song of Healing"。 Upon playing this Link is turned back into a human but a "Deku Mask" is left behind and if he wears this he can turn back into a Deku Scrub。 The Salesman is mad at Link after finding out he didn't get Majora's Mask back yet but he tells Link he must awaken the four Giants so they can hold the Moon up long enough for Link to get the mask back。 So after this Link and Tatl travel to Terminas four corners and at each their is dungeon with an ancient boss at the end who is causing trouble for each area。 The swamp corner has a boss that is poisoning the water， the mountain corner has a boss that is keeping the area stuck in a long winter， the ocean corner has pirates that are plaguing the area， and the desert are has strange "re-deads" which are like zombies plaguing that area。 Link then stops all of the bosses who then each drop a mask of their own that Link collects。 After beating each Link meets a giant， the giants tell him to play the "Oath to Order" when the time is right for them to come。 Now Link returns to the clock tower on the third day and calls the giants to hold the moon， then the Mask removes itself from Skullkid and flies into the moon， Skullkid apologies and says he was manipulated by the mask。 Link then has to give up all of his masks to fight Majora except for one， "The Fierce Deity's Mask"。 Link and Majora then fight and Majora states that it's always like this， you play the hero and I'll be the villain。 Link defeats Majora and the moon is returned to normal forever。 I really liked this book for many reasons。 You get to know the residents of Termina and see how they react to the moon， it's really sad there are some who refuse to leave the town in search for safety because they love their home。 Seeing these people makes you want to see Link save the world even more。 I also like how big a role music plays in this story， Link also plays the Song of Healing for those who he finds struggling。 I also love how this story deals with villains， Skullkid isn't bad he was just lonely and drawn to Majoras Mask because he thought it would make people like him。 As for Majora， it seems to struggle with who is really right， who is really the Hero and the Villain？ This book is really good especially if you've played the game or read previous books。 。。。more

Majora's Mask is one of my favourite games， not just in the LoZ franchise but overall。 I really enjoyed this manga （view spoiler）[and I thought the scene with Darmani and baby Goron was particularly moving。 （hide spoiler）] I love the LoZ mangas because they allow Link to speak and it adds a whole new perspective to the narrative， which is already rich in the case of Majora's Mask。 Majora's Mask is one of my favourite games， not just in the LoZ franchise but overall。 I really enjoyed this manga （view spoiler）[and I thought the scene with Darmani and baby Goron was particularly moving。 （hide spoiler）] I love the LoZ mangas because they allow Link to speak and it adds a whole new perspective to the narrative， which is already rich in the case of Majora's Mask。 。。。more

The story seemed rushed。 I guess maybe because this was only on book where the first book/game was a 2 parter。 But I liked the original side story at the end of the book。

The main character is Link the hero of time。I chose this book because it goes in depth of what the characters think。 I did not like the fact that they skipped all the major fights。 Link ends up as Deku Link and ended up stopping a ancient evil 。 After hearing about this evil he was determined to stop majora and bring peace to Termina。

For the life of me， I do not remember “Majora’s Mask” being this sad。 Seriously， I shed a tear while reading this for some reason。。。。 Great work， though！ Also， the “Original Story” in this was a great story。 If we had more of that， I would not complain because it was mysterious and mystical！

Although felt like a different plotflow from the videogame and condensed too。。。it was nice to see some sort of back story surrounding the evil mask itself！

I loved playing Majora's mask as a game， and I really enjoyed reading this。 It's a different way of enjoying the series and if you are new to the Legend of Zelda then it's a nice way to see more of the story。 I loved playing Majora's mask as a game， and I really enjoyed reading this。 It's a different way of enjoying the series and if you are new to the Legend of Zelda then it's a nice way to see more of the story。 。。。more

Majora's Mask is a faithful successor to Ocarina of Time。 As with the games， this version of Link is clearly the same character and actually remembers some of the events of Ocarina of Time。 As far as pacing， the story seems to jump around a lot， expecting a lot from the reader in terms of remembering the game and filling in narrative beats。 Also， since Majora's Mask has so many "side-quests，" the writers devoted one chapter to each major quest。 This left the overall story feeling rather episodic Majora's Mask is a faithful successor to Ocarina of Time。 As with the games， this version of Link is clearly the same character and actually remembers some of the events of Ocarina of Time。 As far as pacing， the story seems to jump around a lot， expecting a lot from the reader in terms of remembering the game and filling in narrative beats。 Also， since Majora's Mask has so many "side-quests，" the writers devoted one chapter to each major quest。 This left the overall story feeling rather episodic， such that any given chapter could probably be removed from the story without really making the narrative progression any worse。 Interestingly， it did stop to break down a few game mechanics in-narrative， such as how the masks work and why they transform Link。 I definitely enjoyed the surreal imagery， such as the part of the story that puts the reader behind the eyes of the Skull Kid as the Happy Mask Salesman narrates。After the core story is a short non-canon chapter that explains the origin of Majora's Mask。 Much like the story proper， it's a sad， surreal， and chilling tale—but perhaps too confusing to have any value on the surface。Overall， I appreciate this book as a visual refresher of the narrative， since I haven't played the game in years。 But for anyone who isn't already a hardcore Majora's Mask enthusiast， I wouldn't recommend it。 。。。more

Auch ich muss mich den vielen vorigen Kommentaren anschließen， dass eindeutig zu viel der Geschichte ausgelassen wurde。 Man hätte eindeutig mindestens zwei Teile machen sollen。 Ansonsten super， die Zeichnungen sind richtig schön und oft komplett identisch mit gewissen Szenen vom Spiel。

The tone of of this entry does little to match the sorrow-laden dreadful echoing tale of the game。Where the events of the game see Link revisiting the same events time and again in an attempt to get things right and gradually maneuver himself in a position to set things straight， the book takes a silly almost fickle approach to the story。There is one time reversal and Link resolves the entire plot line in a single sequence。 This removes much of the feeling of mistakes and missed opportunities。 I The tone of of this entry does little to match the sorrow-laden dreadful echoing tale of the game。Where the events of the game see Link revisiting the same events time and again in an attempt to get things right and gradually maneuver himself in a position to set things straight， the book takes a silly almost fickle approach to the story。There is one time reversal and Link resolves the entire plot line in a single sequence。 This removes much of the feeling of mistakes and missed opportunities。 It takes out a lot of the mystery and delicate interactions that are needed to find the sweet spot。The masks come off as silly and playful which again takes away from the depth of the story。The art is great， the presentation is fun， and the meat and potatoes are here。 It just feels a hollow lessened version of the source material。On all accounts。The small original bit about the origin of the mask is a unique and super fun story and nearly worth the entire read for its own merit。 。。。more
