I never understood the 'Majora's Mask is stressful' sentiment. I'll admit myself that I'm a very highly strung individual. It doesn't take much to stress me out at all. However, Majora's Mask has never ever caused me stress in any form, even when doing challenge runs of the game. It's my favourite game of all time and I replay it on an almost monthly basis.

Most of the people that find the game stressful are the ones who never discover the Song of Inverse Time, I've found. It may be easy to play without it for those who know the game well, but for the rest of us, the not-slowed-down clock ticks pretty quickly.

I took nearly a whole slowed-down cycle getting through Great Bay Temple the first time. I would not have liked to keep resetting that dungeon over and over with the standard clock.

Pretty much this. Even in Ocarina of Time, I HAD to beat the dungeon in a single sitting, because if I saved, left and started over, the mere fact that I had to start from the first chamber meant a deadlock I could never break. There's just no way I can find the room I was on my own before leaving. Now sum that to the time limit. Plus the lost dungeon faries every time you reset time. And I freaking doubt I can make it far into the game without the stuff we get from the great faries. And honestly speaking... I never actually beat that final boss, not even made past the first stage. Is it even possible to do it without the final mask? Because I never managed to get all masks, so... yeah.
