That's a shame that he was not able to. Majora's Mask is my favorite game and seeing the creator trying for something like it again would have been great.

Yes, I would have bought it. I love the mechanics of MM with the whole time system, impending doom, and the way it was familiar but oddly off.

Is it just me, or does the language in this article feel very AI-generated? And this website is only 10 days old, has only one writer, over 10 articles posted every day by that one person, and is being posted here by an account with the same name as the site. This feels strange.

I didn’t think about it until you pointed out those details… but yeah, agree. Kinda LLM flavored strange.

The world wasn't ready for the perfection of MM

The fact that Majoras Mask exists really makes TOTK disappointing. Direct sequels building on the previous games engine.

Major's Mask made me hopeful that I would like TOTK. But it's too similar to BOTW in all the wrong ways. Just wasn't a fan of Botw for the most part. 😔

I got some downvotes on Reddit for saying TotK just feels more like an old school expansion than a full on sequel. It was originally just DLC that they decided to go all out on, so I don’t see why such an opinion is so far-fetched to some people. I actually like TotK quite a bit, but TotK feels incomplete without BotW, and BotW feels so much more epic with TotK factored in. I think it’s a missed opportunity that the two games weren’t built to be mergeable.

Just keep all this boring crafting out of it
