When my pappaw bought it for me for Christmas, I appreciated the gift and was ready for another Zelda. It was nowhere near the reaction after I bought Ocarina of Time - my brother and I combined our Christmas money A's bought it at a KB Toys store, there last copy. When I opened it up to the time I got the Kokiri Emerald from the Great Deku Tree, I was literally shaking. I think that was a combination of the most excitement I've ever had over a game's hype, the game itself, and the fact that I had a fever that night and I was getting into cold sweats from breaking it. Ahhhh....the memories.
Anyways, Majora's Mask - it's my go to game. I love the series, but this...this is different. The darker tone, the different use of time, the 5 stages of dying, the use of the same characters from Ocarina (coming from the entire series), a story line that was set apart from the reincarnation of the main trio and the Triforce, the list goes on and on. It sticks with me.
Current favorite....Fable 2. I know, I'm not keeping up with the times, but I haven't played a newer game in a long time. Unfortunately, I picked it up from its case and it cracked. But I'm really looking forward to buying another copy and for the release of Fable Anniversary. I didn't get to play Fable very long before my friend moved out to go to college.
It's funny. I got my copy of Majora's Mask as a birthday present and it is my favorite Zelda game. I still like the three games I bought myself more (Sly 2 & 3 and Kingdom Hearts II), but I think knowing that this was the first one that was given to me personally is what makes it my favorite as a child. A few days later, I also got Banjo-Tooie for Christmas, which was awesome to have, but I had to share it with my brother and sister.
