The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask joins the ever-expanding list of N64 games available to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members and follows such additions as Banjo-Kazooie and Paper Mario.
In our list of the 25 best Nintendo 64 games of all time, we ranked The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask #3, placing it just behind Super Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time.
“It all sounds quite gloomy, but the grand sense of adventure and clever puzzles expected in a Zelda game are in-tact, and Majora’s adds the thrill of finding new masks with new abilities, making Majora’s Mask perfectly fun and rewarding,” IGN’s Casey DeFreitas wrote. “Where Ocarina of Time is undeniably a classic masterpiece, Majora’s Mask adds a little spooky spice that makes it unique, memorable, and something truly special in its own right.”
The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask was released for the N64 in 2000 and we gave it a 9.9/10, and that is the version that will be part of Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack.
In 2015, The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D was released for the Nintendo 3DS and came with a few quality of life additions like The Bomber’s Notebook that helped players keep track of everything going on in the game.
