Right?! I've had a lsevere ove hate relationship with that game for YEARS but its a beautifully poetic, tragic, haunting game, that gets better the more you analyse and underestanding it too. Its very metaphorical/symbolic/philosophical and such.
I'm so glad Shigeru and whoever else was so experimental with it and really challenging the foundations and norms, taking such huge risks and such.
I actually ended up replaying MM a lot, trying different ideas, trying to save/help everyone, trying all kinds of possiiblities and such. It was insanely replayable, like an "early roguelike" sort of game! Although I'm not sure how old the roguelike genre actually is but i know it goes very far back, depending on what you consider of it too?
MM was brutal, incredibly sad and dark. A truly profound game.
Did you hear about the Oden style removed/censored scene from it!? I think it's in the N64 version only, maybe only some regions of it too as in ports/versions of it from certain regions, but there's a monkey you have to save right from the Deku Scrubs? And its about to get boiled alive? Depending on which version of the game it is, you get to see it being boiled! In a fucking kids game! It gets dunked in and pulled back out and it's just silent IIRC? Like it's presumably dead ofc? Hang on, let me find the scene....
These might be the only people in Majora's Mask that I outright refuse to save and hate and wish they could exclusively be hit by the moon and thus nobody else too! No wonder I hated the Deku Scum I mean Scrubs so much!
