Now, if you know me, you would know that my favorite game of all time is Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. Just look at my name. It should be obvious. But, my second favorite Zelda game is Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. What this game does better then Wind Waker is its sidequests. Yeah, sorry, Wind Waker, but not every game is perfect. You kinda lack good sidequests. I guess Nintendo used up all their ideas for Majora's Mask. So, I will tell you all the Top Five best sidequests in Majora's Mask. First off, no sidequests that give you items that are mandatory to beat the game. So, none of those sidequests that give you items to help in temples or bosses. With that, lets start
#5: Guru Guru Sidequest - This is a pretty easy sidequest and is actually really short. It is actually kinda funny though. You meet Guru Guru outside of Clocktown's hotel. He was kicked out because he was too loud. Well, if you play a music box 24/7, then yeah, your kinda loud. Anyway, he will then talk about how he was once in a band filled with animals.... And yes, he is crazy before you ask. Then, he'll get mad and then calm down and then get mad again and so forth and so on. Then, he'll thank you for listening to his insane ramblings and reward you with the Don Gero's Mask, which allows you to talk to frogs so you can get a Piece of Heart. Weird and short, yes. Funny, oh definitely
#4: Children of the Moon Sidequest - Now, some of you may say this is important to fighting the final boss, as you get the Fierce Deity's Mask, which is the most powerful mask in the game. However, I was able to beat the final boss without it, so it is not mandatory to complete this quest, so I am counting it as a sidequest. So, when you go into the moon (Yes, the one with a fucking face) You see a large tree with some kids around it. Each kid wearing a mask that resembles the bosses you defeated. They will ask you to play with them and you will then be sent to a mini game where you will have to complete a challenge. Once you do, you will see the kid in the rooms and they will ask for masks. Note, you will need all the masks in the game to fully complete this sidequest. And don't worry, you'll get all your masks back later, including the Fierce Deity's Mask. So, once you do, they will ask the player some creepy questions, like, "What are your friends like and do they really think of you as a friend"? Seriously, this is like Psycho Mantis from Metal Gear Solid level of fourth wall breaking. Still, a pretty creepy but amazing sidequest with an amazing reward for it all.
#3: Kamaro Sidequest - Hey, another short sidequest. Though, instead of being funny like Guru Guru's, its pretty creepy. You start off on one of these..... Frozen Mushrooms? Anyway, once you are there at midnight of any day, you will meet this ghost who calls himself Kamaro. He will tell you that he died and now he can no longer teach his amazing dance to the world. And, trust me, I have seen his dance...... It's not that impressive. Anyway, once you play the Song of Healing, he will give you the Kamaro Mask, which is just a blank mask with his head sticking out of the forehead. This mask will only let you dance with a creepy song in the background. So, once you get it, you take it to the Twins in Clocktown and dance with them...... Okay. Once that's done, they will thank you and give you a Piece of Heart. This sidequest is kinda creepy, but that's what makes it good
#2: Romani Ranch Sidequest - Now, this is where things get crazy. So, you head to Romani Ranch and meet Romani who tells you that the ranch is named after her........ No shit. Anyway, she will then tell you that she has to practice to defend the ranch because on the Night of the Festival, "They" come. Now, who do you think They is. Well, guess what. They are freaking aliens. That;s right, there are aliens in a Zelda game. And, the sidequest has you fending off the aliens until morning. Now, this can be easy as long as you have the Bunny Hood and to play the Inverted Song of Time, which will make you faster and the aliens MUCH slower, so things will be easier. Anyway, once you have kept the aliens away from the barn all night, they will retreat and you win. As a reward, you are given a bottle of Romani Ranch Milk and you can keep the bottle to store other important things in later. However, you can lose this sidequest. If you do lose, you will see a cutscene of the aliens stealing all the cows and even Romani. After that, she will be gone for a whole day, and she will return on the third day, but she will no longer be happy and care free. Instead, she will be traumatized and depressed. Wow, that's just creepy. So, yeah, a really scary but amazing sidequest.
#1: Kafei and Anju Sidequest - You think Nintendo is a family friendly gaming company, huh. You think everything is sunshine, lollipops, and butterflies, don't you. No, no, no, no, fuck no. No. This sidequest is one of the most depressing sidequests I have ever seen in.... Anything, really. It starts with the mayors wife who tell you that her son, Kafie is missing. So, you decide to help look for him. You then head to the Clocktown hotel to speak to the owner, Anju. Here, you see her talking to the Postman, who tells her that she got a letter, but Anju recognized it somehow. So, after you speak to Anju about Kafie, she'll say that she want's to meet you tonight. When you do, she will talk about how she and Kafei were supposed to get married, but he went missing before the wedding. After that, she give you a letter which you place in the mailbox. The next day, the Postman delivers the letter to Kafei, which is your chance to sneak into his house. Once in, he will ignore the fact that you broke into his house (I guess being the Hero of Time gives you a free pass for breaking and entering) and he will tell you that he was turned into a little kid by the Skull Kid and his mask was stolen by a thief. And, masks are pretty much wedding rings in the world of Zelda..... don't ask. Anyway, once you tell this to Anju, she will promise to wait for Kafei, no matter what. On the third and final day, Kafei want you and him to get the mask back from the thieves hideout. Once you do get into the hideout, you are treated with a large assortment of puzzles. But, soon, you are successful. But, once you walk outside, it is nighttime and the world is soon going to end. So, you get back to Anju, who is waiting for Kafei. Finally, he comes and they then get married right there, as the world is coming to an end. They then give you the Couples Mask and tell you that "They will stay here, as they will wait to greet the morning together", and let me remind you that in less then fifteen seconds, the world will be destroyed. So, yeah, this just shows how much they care for each other, as they are finally together and that they have finally fulfilled there last wishes and are willing to die together. This just shows that Nintendo is not just for kids, and that they are amazing geniuses.
Well, that was my top five sidequests in Majora's Mask. Which do you like? Was there one that I had forgotten? LEt me know if you like. With that, I will see you all next time
#5: Guru Guru Sidequest - This is a pretty easy sidequest and is actually really short. It is actually kinda funny though. You meet Guru Guru outside of Clocktown's hotel. He was kicked out because he was too loud. Well, if you play a music box 24/7, then yeah, your kinda loud. Anyway, he will then talk about how he was once in a band filled with animals....

Wow. I mean wow. I thought it wasn't possible for people to get dumber. There's the Condom Challenge, where you put a condom in your nose and pull it out your mouth and hope you don't suffocate, then there's the Cinnamon Challenge where you eat cinammon and try not to choke. But, people could get dumber. Here it is, the fire challenge, where you set yourself on fire for no goddamn reason. What the hell, what is wrong with this world. Are people really this stupid that they actually set themselves on fire. Apperently they do. Its even been shown on the news, for gods sake.
Well, that's all I got. This is a stupid trend that makes me wonder why the help some people have the internet. But, hey' that's only my opinion. What's Your Take
