To Epona's surprise, two mischievous fairies materialise out of the mist and send Link's steed into a panicked retreat. Now downtrodden, Link guides Epona through a sombre fog in search of his faithful fairy friend Navi. The mystery begins a mere three months after Link's triumph over Ganondorf in Ocarina of Time. As Link gains knowledge, the world becomes less intimidating. At first glance Majora's Mask appears to be uncharacteristically dark and brooding, but in fact it is usually the fear of the unknown which creates this uneasy mood. Link is a well-armed detective in this mysterious adventure, gaining greater insight into the lives of established characters and meeting fresh faces as well. The storyline meanders through the game like a living creature, poking around here and there to reveal greater insight into the land of Termina. Plot is often an afterthought in video games, but it is the driving force in Majora's Mask. Perpetually reliving the same three days and three nights, Link is able to explore his world and relate to other characters like never before. This mind-bending follow-up to Ocarina of Time sparkles with an artistic flair and presents a premise that shatters the foundation upon which most games are built. This time Link, the Hyrulian Hero, struggles against time to unravel the unsettling mystery of Majora's Mask. If Ocarina of Time is an epic, then Majora's Mask can only be described as an epic epic.
