I want some legitimate answers. I've never been fond of Majora's Mask myself; I've always found it disappointing. Particularly because I hate being timed in video games, and you're timed during the entire bloody game before that creepy-ass moon crashes into the planet. It's a persistent pain in the ass that you have to constantly worry/stress about, and I don't play video games to add more stress and frustration to my life but rather, to do just the opposite — to lessen stress.
So, if you're one of the many who has a strange obsession with Majora's Mask, why do you love it so much? Nobody has provided a legitimate answer. Every time I've asked someone, it's always been along the lines of, "Because it's amazing," or "Because it's life changing," etcetera. I get that those are your feelings about it, but those aren't explanations. Why is it amazing? Why is it life changing? Those answers and others similar to them are just elongations to your love for it. "I love it because it's amazing." "I love it because it's life changing." That doesn't explain anything. There are reasons behind why you believe it's amazing or life changing. So, what are they? You can't just attach another adjective to your love for the game without an explanation.
My goal in this blog entry isn't to downplay Majora's Mask or convince anyone who loves the game that it's a piece of crap. I don't like the game and that opinion will probably never change. I would just like to know exactly why so many people love it, because I don't understand why. So, feel free to give your explanations in a comment below.
You might love Majora's Mask, but this is all just Food for Thought.
