Today’s game is Majora’s Mask. I’m not sure why but i just wasn’t feeling up for anything, and went digging around for something. I guess at some point i had set the Recomp up and went ahead and this sounded better than nothing so i launched it.

This is only my second brush with this game. The first one was around 2017, when i played the Remake on my 3DS. I 100% that one and it was one of my favorite games at that time.

Playing through the original is kind of like learning too read it in different handwriting. It’s not bad, just slightly different. One of the main things that was “different” was the Astral Observatory. The way i remember it on the Remake, everything was a pinkish hue. Meanwhile in the OG it has a kind of trippy rainbow effect i can’t really describe, except as being akin to the Bowser Levels in SM64, which is an aesthetic i really love.

I am absolutely sure i’m not treading any new ground here either, but i love the Timer mechanic. Going back through this created a hectic moment that would have normally been forgettable.

I had gotten cocky and just killed time until midnight to get to the top of the tower, what i had forgotten was i needed the Land Plot to get up there. When midnight hit and i only had 5 minutes left. I was scrambling to the plot to try and get it sure i had failed something. Thankfully i had grabbed the Moon’s Tear before leaving the observatory, but if i hadn’t, it would have ended my run all because I was too cocky. It was an incredibly memorable experience just for that last minute rush it created because of my own ego.

Anyways, i may play more soon. I think i was just in a bit of a slump today and nothing sounded good. I have an old CRT Monitor and i think it’d be cool too hook it up too that, so maybe that’s something i’ll do next time i play.
