The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is an action-adventure video game developed by Nintendo's Entertainment Analysis and Development division for the Nintendo 64. It was released in Japan on April 27, 2000; North America on October 26, 2000; and Europe on November 17, 2000. Approximately 314,000 copies of the game were sold during its first week in Japan, and three million copies were sold worldwide.

An enhanced remake for the Nintendo 3DS, titled The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D, was released in February 2015.
Majora's Mask is the sixth main installment in The Legend of Zelda series and the second using 3D graphics, the first being The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the game's predecessor. Considered by critics to be "darker" among the Zelda games franchise, Majora's Mask is set in Termina, an alternate version of the usual series setting of Hyrule, where the Skull Kid has stolen Majora's Mask, a powerful ancient artifact.

<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/classic-video-games-that-suck/steven-petite?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Video game</a> stories range from the extremely simplistic to the staggeringly complex. While early games - and many contemporary ones focused on gameplay - treat the plot as a loose outline filled in by action or puzzles, some games have tried to push the boundaries and tell emotionally gripping, cinematic stories with elements of interactive control and player choices that forward the storyline.

The advent of so-called &quot;sandbox&quot; games, which give players more freedom in choosing <a href="http://www.ranker.com/tags/how-to?ref=internalCrossLinking_tag">how to</a> explore the environment, which missions to embark upon and what order to progress in has also served to make games more character-driven and involving. (&quot;Fallout 3,&quot; for example, builds up a karmic profile of the player based on decisions in how to advance through missions.) These best storyline games build on the gameplay and graphics with genuinely good stories.&nbsp;

Currently at the top of the list of the best video game storylines are the Mass Effect games with BioShock, The Last of Us, and Half-Life 2 all in contention for the number one spot. Gamers will also recognize other popular video game franchises, like <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-kingdom-hearts-worlds/ranker-games" target="_blank">the worlds of </a><a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-kingdom-hearts-worlds/ranker-games" target="_blank">Kingdom Hearts</a>, or Metal Gear Solid and Assassin&#39;s Creed, which feature twists and surprises in their storylines.&nbsp;

The Best and Worst of Gaming

Arcade Games

Top classic video games from the early years of gaming. This list contains the best games released on any system (arcade, home consoles, portable devices) from the 1960s through the year 2000 (which for this list would be considered the start of the &quot;modern era&quot; of gaming.) This includes all the essential games from the era of the arcade, as well as the original 8-bit consoles and their 16-bit follow-ups.Many of the retro games on this list have remained extremely popular to this present day, and are often still played by passionate fans on preserved consoles or on computers via emulator software. Some of these games are part of ongoing franchises that have remained vital to this day, such as the classic &quot;Mario Bros.&quot; games, &quot;<a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/a-timeline-of-the-legend-of-zelda-chronology/stephanroget?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Legend of Zelda</a>&quot; titles and <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/all-fighting-games-list/reference?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">fighting games</a> like &quot;Mortal Kombat.&quot;Experimental video games have been around since the 1950s, but it was two game breakthroughs in the early 1970s that really brought games more mainstream attention. &quot;Spacewar!,&quot; released in 1961, became popular enough to generate about 1500 individual arcade machines, but was so complicated to learn that it failed to really develop mass appeal. The same was not true of 1972's &quot;Pong,&quot; from the same creators, that recreated table tennis for arcades and eventually sold nearly 20,000 machines. By the late 1970s, <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/failed-video-game-consoles/nathan-gibson?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">video game consoles</a> for the home were becoming more commonplace, with both the Intellivision and ColecoVision competing in toy stores and introducing many of the titles we're still familiar with today (including the original &quot;Donkey Kong&quot; and &quot;Space Invaders.&quot;)1978 is traditionally considered the start of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/the-most-popular-golden-age-arcade-games/video-games-lists?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Golden Age of video games</a>, particularly in terms of arcade games, with the introduction of numerous beloved retro titles (including &quot;Frogger&quot; and &quot;Galaxian.&quot;) Finally, in 1985, Nintendo introduced the first Nintendo Entertainment System to stores, bundled with the game &quot;Super Mario Bros.,&quot; a landmark release in console history.

RPGs: Role-Playing Games

Best Video Games

This comprehensive list ranks the&nbsp;best pure role-playing games, action-RPG hybrids and MMORPG&#39;s of all time, as voted on by the Ranker Community. The popularity of role-playing games far predates <a href="/list/best-old-school-rpgs/kyle-townsend" target="_blank">video game technology</a> entirely, and many of the genre&#39;s standards, settings and concepts continue to draw strong influence from the <a href="/list/top-five-tabletop-rpg_s/dragolite">pen-and-paper games</a> of the past (particularly the granddaddy of them all, Dungeons &amp; Dragons, or D&amp;D.)

In <a href="/list/most-underrated-rpgs/kyle-townsend" target="_blank">traditional role-playing games</a>, the player controls a character in a fictional world or setting and takes a strong hand in determining how that character chooses to progress through the environment. They tend to be more character and <a href="/crowdranked-list/the-most-compelling-video-game-storylines">plot-driven games</a> in many ways, as opposed to games that put more emphasis on stealth, puzzle-solving or combat. In some ways, new technology has simply made RPG&#39;s easier to organize and faster to play through, removing the need for a &quot;gamemaster&quot; and reliance on dice or other physical means of determining game outcomes. What are your all-time favorite RPGs?

Many of the most popular RPGs are part of a larger franchise, set in <a href="/list/best-rpg-soundtracks/ranker-games" target="_blank">a familiar world </a>that has been established over the course of numerous games (and sometimes tie-in novels, short films, or other media.) The Final Fantasy&nbsp;franchise is perhaps the most significant and long-standing in video game history, and in fact at this point has branched out beyond traditional role-playing games to include entires focused on tactical role-playing, action role-playing, MMORPG&#39;s, racing games, third-person shooters, and even rhythm and fighting games. It has also inspired numerous animated films, tie in novels and comic books. (Unlike many other RPG series that are all based in a single setting or universe - such as the Elder Scrolls&nbsp;series Tamriel or Azeroth from Blizzard&#39;s Warcraft&nbsp;games - Final Fantasy&nbsp;entries tend to take place in different settings and have sharply distinguished plotlines.)

It&#39;s not hard to find scares in throwback video games, especially since spooky moments aren&#39;t always restricted to the horror genre. While people go into games like Resident Evil&nbsp;or Silent Hill&nbsp;knowing they&#39;re in for some chills, not even the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-scariest-video-games-of-all-time-" target="_blank">scariest games of all time</a> can hope to reproduce the shock of finding something terrifying in an otherwise lighthearted experience.&nbsp;

Taking risks and surprising players with something unexpected (and often horrifying) helped the likes of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time&nbsp;and&nbsp;Super Mario World&nbsp;stick in players&#39; minds. Other games like&nbsp;Oddworld: Abe&#39;s Oddysee&nbsp;lay the horror on thick the whole time, offering existential terror at every turn. Like it or not, the most distressing moments in games aimed at children&nbsp;stay burnt into memories to this day.

Game Is Life

CAUTION: This list contains plot spoilers for various video games.&nbsp;Video games are arguably the most diverse type of media and while lots of titles avoid storytelling, there are plenty of <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-most-compelling-video-game-storylines">games that incorporate compelling storylines</a>. While most backstories&nbsp;are associated with the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-rpg-video-games-ever-made">RPG genre</a>, a surprising amount of different games also boast rich narratives. Sure, not every type of genre needs an interesting or intriguing plot to make it fun to play, but providing a narrative solidifies&nbsp;the&nbsp;purpose for&nbsp;why a player is going out on their adventure and justifies the events that are taking place.Although most games that want to include a story will do so in a rather obvious way,&nbsp;such as straightforward objectives issued by an NPC in a single-player campaign,&nbsp;there are some titles that hide an elaborate backstory. The narrative is purposefully difficult to uncover, with bits of information&nbsp;spread out here and there like a delectable bread crumb trail. Other times, the story is just hidden due to technical limitations&nbsp;preventing a studio from&nbsp;including&nbsp;everything they want in the game. In some cases, publishers opt to sell <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-dlc-packs/ranker-games">extra content to fans in the form of DLCs</a>.Whatever the case, it's clear that the most popular games in the world have hidden backstories that are as bizarre as they are interesting. Check out the list below&nbsp;for crazy storylines behind familiar games and vote up the ones that shocked you.&nbsp;

The 25+ Best RPGs For The Nintendo 3DS, Ranked

No one ever said video games were supposed to be easy - or predictable. Classics like Dark Souls and Ninja Gaiden&nbsp;- which rank among the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/hardest-video-games-of-all-time/ranker-games" target="_blank">most difficult games of all time</a> - have elevated gaming skills to rare levels.

Generally,&nbsp;though, games are&nbsp;expected to be beatable. Boss fights are just a matter of finding the right method or honing the right reflexes. That&#39;s why it&#39;s so shocking when a game&#39;s hero gets beaten down. Some games use that shock to <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/emotional-video-games/collin-flatt" target="_blank">dial up the emotional stakes</a>&nbsp;and motivate the player to make it to the end.&nbsp;There&#39;s nothing more tragic than the passing&nbsp;of a fan favorite, after all.&nbsp;
