Random Babbling from a bored Scottish guy…

Pidge2571 Plays Majora’s Mask on the N64 Pt.1

So, here it is folks…FINALLY my copy of Majora’s mask isn’t crashing or freaking out and i’m finally able to play it…

 

So! to cut a long story short (intro wise)

Link rides horse > gets jumped by a couple of fairies (yes…)> gets robbed by an Imp > chases Imp >imp uses super powerful mask powers > changes link into a walking Plant > run around a town after speaking to the creepy/potential rapist mask salesman > climb clock tower, spit in imps eye, grab glorified harmonica > play a song and reverse time!

 

SO!

After speaking to creepy mask guy…

He changed me back to Link…then asked if i had brough this all powerful, world ending demon mask back with me…

Now, i’m no hero or anything but sending a plant…who fires green bubbles, spins and flys through the air with two giant pink flowers, up against a mask thats so powerful it can hit the planet with the moon….you shouldn’t really expect a great deal on the first run in, hell, him making it back alive after spitting at it should be reward enough!

So after being shaken by mr creepy,

he tells you of the horrible power of the mask and blah and you must save the world in 3 days.

Pretty steep shit right?

Yeah, 72 hours to beat the christ out of a Mask wearing Imp before the moons destrroys the place. suppose if you have nothing better to do :/

 

So i embark on my little quest around Clock town, taking in the surroundings and meet the locals, which to say the least are friendly and helpful, except that little dog…god damn i hate that dog….

DOG!

It basically attacks you when ever you walk around it as the Plant (or Deku Scrub) and it hurts you…more on him later though…

So after walking around the town, which has a fucking SWEET clock!

I might not make sense to us (not sure how to even tell the time from it) but i’ve always wanted one of it’s clock faces in my room, ticking away. *Nostalgic glow*

So anyhoo, there is a public park area to the north of the town, where there is a few kids playing, some deku guys operating a game and a giant slide,the most insane thing in the area though…is Tingle.

Tingle is a bit of a special case to be honest, he is the guy you go to for maps of the areas incase you don’t wanna go into an unknown area (like i do…) while swinging your sword and kicking ass.

To explain Tingle…he’s a normal person…who thinks he is like Link, Link being an all round hero of time and child of the sacred forrest…tingle is 38, dresses like a festive Gimp and floats in the air drawing his maps with what can only be described by a Balloon that looks like a swollen Ballsack…and to behonest, he’s the 2nd biggest sexual repression/frustration joke in this whole game next to this guy…

 

(it looks like he is being a bit naughty with the box)

but Tingle is only a mild pain in the hoop to be honest, speaking in riddles and generally dancing about like an idiot…occasionally throwing glitter at you, which to be honest, if i was Link and knew this loon was trying to act like me and assaults the general public with glitter, i’d wait til it was dark and take him out…

 

Well i loitered around the park for a while, beat up the local kids and they made me a part of their gang, gave me a sweet note book so i can keep track of stuff, then i went on my merry way, i found the local inn and got speaking to the owner, she seemed nice and all, she asked if i had a reservation, i said yes…seems blagging works because she threw me the keys to a room!

Hell yeah, walked into the room and there was like 100 Ruppees for the taking, then i spoke to the owner again and she got talking aboot her lost love, i had to meet her in the kitchen at 11:30 that night.
So i lay in wait in the kitchen, she appears and hands me a letter that i have to send to her fiance, she knows something wrong but is helpless, now thinking aboot it, she could have easily posted the letter herself, there is a mail box right next to her Inn but whatever…i had a mission!

but when leaving the Inn i came across the oddest character in the game…

This guy!

He (i assume) is looking for Pa-pa-pa-paper, Please! and the only thing i had on me that was paper, was this letter from a young woman in love,  expressing her feelings and want for her true love to come home no matter what because she misses him…

Just sucks that i find romance a bit overrated, so i gave him what he asked and i got a heart piece! sorry young ones, got more important stuff to worry aboot then you two!

so i headed back to the park area to go mootching for some rupees and general items, when i came across this old lady…

She was just minding her own business, walking home from the bingo i assume and taking in the night air…until this idiot…

Robs her, steals her bag and legs it…

Not on my watch, son! i chased him and stabed him in the thigh, he dropped his loot and ran screaming like a bitch…the old lady thanked me for my courage and gave me the blast mask…

This handy piece of kit effectivly turns you into a bomb, it hurts you when you use it but is as effective as a bomb incase you run out or generally want to feel like a terrorist.

except there won’t be 72 Virgins waiting for Link in the after life…there will only be one…

 

Part 2 will come about sooner or later, watch this space!
