  In Majoras Mask, link must save a parallel world from destruction by its rapidly falling moon.  He has three days to accomplish this task which is equal to about 73 minutes of real life time, making each of the days and nights each 12 minutes long.  In the 72 minutes, which are replayed again and again, Link has to conquer 4 palaces and 6 small dungeons. As stated by Shigeru Miyamoto, designer of zelda games, "This isn't the kind of game where you stand around looking at the sun."  Looking at the quick time and limited number of levels, one could easily come to the conclusion that this game would be unworthy of the zelda title.  But, in fact the palaces are only a small aspect of the game.  There are many side objectives to keep you busy.
  To find all of the 26 masks Link must interact with many characters in the environment of this parallel world.  He has to replay the course of events to untangle the lives of the inhabitants. These masks range from the deku mask which turns link into a deku to the big link mask which turns link into his adult form which makes past links look insignificant.
  Majora's Mask will definitely be a brand new gaming experience for most of us, but also very fun.  I have my copy reserved , do you?
