What I love about The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask is how there is a way to make the Final End Boss Of Doom absurdly easy so that you stand there and smack him for three seconds and the game is over.* You don't even have to move. It is not easy to get that privilege, though: it’s a reward for being totally obsessive-compulsive about acquiring everything in the game, but it’s worth it just to be able to laugh maniacally at the pitiful antics of your latest Archenemy.

 

My other favorite thing about that game is how unbelievably dark it is. Not only does it have a giant looming grimacing moon that’s going to destroy the world, it also has mugging, child marriage, child negligence, aliens, death, abusive relationships, money laundering, theft, the kidnapping of unborn children, pirates, ninjas, depression, skulls with bat wings, suicide, more death, voyeurism, and torture. And the entire premise is based on stealing the identities of dead people.

 

Now I’m playing Starfox: Command.  Will Nintendo ever get over its infatuation with the DS stylus?  God knows.


*The secret to the Fierce Deity Mask is to take it with Chateau Romani. Good stuff, that.

*glances at list*

*takes a deep breath*

Pamela's dad. Aliens attacking Romani Ranch. Dead Deku tree at the beginning, dead Darmani, dead Mikau, implied death of Goron Elder. Putting your rupees from a chest in the bank, going back in time, and getting the same rupees again and putting THEM in the bank. Curiosity shoppe selling stolen goods, as well as Link stealing all sorts of shit. Pirates stealing the Zora eggs. Pirate Gerudos. Ninjas. Gorman the circus leader's silent, unrelenting depression. SKULLS WITH BAT WINGS. The ninjas blowing themselves up after you defeat them. Skullkids and ghosts and zombies, oh, my! Guys who ask for photos of lady pirates and Zoras who spy on singers in their rooms. The monkey getting lowered into a vat of boiling oil.

Did I leave anything out? Oh, yes--they also have A GUY WHO LIVES IN A TOILET. Literally IN THE TOILET. That is a messed up game.
