The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask is an action-adventure game developed by Nintendo EAD and published by Nintendo in 2000, first for the Nintendo 64 and later for the Nintendo GameCube. It sends Link into Termina, a land shadowed by a grinning, stolen mask and a moon dropping slowly from the sky.

Where its predecessor roamed a wide kingdom, this game keeps its own tight, repeating clock: three days, ending again and again, with Link rewinding time to hold back the end. It is remembered for its masks, which let him borrow other bodies and other lives, and for a mood far stranger and sadder than the series was known for.
