You fight King Igos du Ikana and his two unique-model bodyguards in the former throne room of the Ikana Kingdom, all of whom have been brought back to life because of the emergence of the Stone Tower. Pretty fun, and the fact that Keeta is a giant is always something that the game never explains. In practice, he's basically a giant Stalchild with two tiny hands on top of his head, and Link basically has to re-enact Skull Keeta's final battle in order to get him to properly 'rest', allowing him to properly pass on his 'duty' to Link. I'm not going to spoil the entire story but Skull Keeta is basically the gigantic captain of the now-undead Ikana forces. Majora's Mask is kind of interesting in that each area (the swamp, the snow mountains, the great bay and the canyon) all have their own stories and storylines that you have to complete before tackling each respective dungeon, and for the fourth segment, the Ikana Canyon, some of the fights involve you fighting against, well, bosses.
We'll start off with the 'overworld bosses'. We covered the normal monsters before, now we're going to cover the overworld bosses, minibosses and dungeon bosses! but it sure really feels like such a more complete experience. And you don't have to play Ocarina to play Majora's Mask. To the uninitiated, Majora's Mask works off of the same N64 engine that Ocarina of Time ran on, so the developers were able to re-utilize a lot of the combat mechanics and general assets from that game, allowing them to focus more on designing the story and how everything else fits together in the game. but it's still basically my favourite in terms of the trippy world-building, the gameplay mechanics, the storyline, and the very dream-like vibe of whatever is going on. I'm not here to talk about the gameplay or the story or the vibe of the game as a whole. Its graphics is sure outdated now, and even the 3DS remake doesn't really bring it up to current HD standards or whatever, but I really do still love this game. I don't think it's an exaggeration for me to say that the Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is a strong contender for my favourite Legend of Zelda game of all time.
