The Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask
Day 2

Best listened to with:https://youtu.be/eS_42yIISl8

This may seem confusing when you consider all the great moments this game has to offer. Some silly, some gut-wrenching, and some that involve a wretched precise 3 day quest. Day 2 of the 3 day cycle Link is trapped in is the most eye opening thing to happen in the 5th generation of gaming.

Think back to the start of this game, you're in the woods and get tricked into becoming a Deku Scrub and then you encounter the happy mask salesman. You leave the clock tower and theres a town. But your focus is getting the great fairy fixed to get magic to then get into the bomber hideout to then spy on Skull Kid then grab the tear which you trade to access the top of the clock tower. You can do this in just a small amount of time but your first time may take well a bit more time if you are truly on a blind play.

The true magic here is starting day 2 and realizing...wait its raining? Wait people are doing different things? Day 1 hammers in that npcs are on a schedule but the card that the game keeps up its sleeve is each day is in fact different.

Each of the three days have their own theme to them:
-Mischief is abound but the world keeps going
-The rain slows everything down
-The panic has set in and people have fled

The Bombers Notebook only covers characters with sidequests but you can follow some of these characters like this guy


Have no actual quests behind him and yet he has an entire 3 day arc you can follow. Is it interesting? not really but you can actually track his life over the 3 days which is just a pretty wild concept for an N64 era game. The same goes with dialog, as almost every talkable NPC in the game will react differently to your collection of masks. If you want lore about say the trading post, talk to this guy with the Stone Mask and learn his theory about the trading post being a scam.

Overall its a combination of many small things taking a player interested in more than just hacking and slashing on a wild ride of a world that almost feels alive.
