One of the Best Zelda Games Is Now on Nintendo Switch

A classic in the Zelda series, The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, is now available to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers! Since its debut on the Nintendo 64 in 1996, the game has gained an ardent fanbase. Majora’s Mask is a little different from the previous Zelda games, but that’s part of what makes it so enjoyable! The game is now playable on the Nintendo Switch for those who previously couldn’t.

Ocarina of Time was published in 1996, while Majora’s Mask was released two years later in 2000. There are many similarities between the two games, but there are also significant distinctions that make this one unique. With three new masks to use, Link may now transform into a Deku Scrub, Goron, or Zora. This is a major addition to the series. As Link progresses through the game, each of these forms provides him with distinct advantages. A Skull Kid with a Majora’s Mask has replaced Ganondorf as the main villain since his defeat in OoT. When the moon falls and destroys Termina three days from now, the game will take place there instead in Hyrule. Link must utilize the Ocarina every three days until he can stop the Skull Kid in order to preserve the world.

Despite the excitement around the release of Majora’s Mask for the Nintendo Switch, this is not the first time the game has been made portable. The game was released on the 3DS in 2015, which was Nintendo’s previous handheld. This version used the system’s touchscreen and stereoscopic 3D to its fullest potential. Some Zelda fans favour the N64 version over the Switch version for obvious reasons. This is a fantastic game, and a must-play for everyone having the Expansion Pack! Regardless.
