Once again despite there being plenty of new games that I could be getting on with (Metroid Prime 3 at this very moment is looking at me with sad puppy-dog eyes), I find myself drawn to a game that I have completed time and time again. (no pun intended)

<strong>"Majora's Mask"</strong>was originally released on the N64 in October of 2000 so for the games birthday I thought I would treat it to another outing. The game was the sequel to <strong>"Ocarina Of Time"</strong> and took place not in Hyrule but a land facing great peril called Termima.

When Link arrives in Termina he finds that the Moon is far closer than usual and it becomes clear that the Skull-kid intends to pull the moon into the world.
