The Legend of Zelda

The legend of Link’s journeys across time and space have stood at the center of video games since the days of the NES. Read With a Terrible Fate’s work on the seminal series here.

A Comprehensive Theory of Majora's Mask

Majora’s Mask should terrify you, and this is why.

We can easily write off the disturbing undercurrent of "Majora" as a result of aesthetics, but in this post, I want to offer an argument that the horror which pervades the game is much more subtle and existential than that interpretation. I submit that the ultimate reason "Majora's Mask" continues to terrify us is that, as much as we want there to exist an evil for us to conquer, there ultimately exists no evil in the game.

Dawn of the First Day: Why “Majora’s Mask” is unique

The aim of my project here is to reflect on a game which, far beyond being merely the sequel to "Ocarina of Time," is, in my view, one of the most significant pieces of art in modern times. While the release date for "Majora's Mask 3D" has not been publicized at this point, my goal is to write weekly reflections on different facets of the game, in the hopes that, by the time it is released, I will have articulated just what about this game strikes me at irrevocably moving.
