The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask is the Zelda game I feel the least versed in, but the Kotaku article “A New Illustrated Telling Of Majora’s Mask’s Enigmatic Story” is a good primer for the game’s story with some great visuals.
No matter how much one dives into the lore of The Legend Of Zelda Majora’s Mask, establishing absolutes about what really happened in the world of the 18-year-old Nintendo 64 adventure can be tricky. I’ve decided to try.
The Zelda games usually follow the Triforce mythology in which reincarnations of Princess Zelda and the adventurer Link battle the villainous Ganondorf. Majora’s Mask disconnects itself from all of this and takes us on a journey into the macabre. Its story and the game overall feel like they come from a twisted parallel universe.
