    Did you have fun?

    Have you experienced majora’s mask? (great for a spooky experience)

      Had a lot of fun! The ending definitely pulled some heart strings

      Not yet with Majora’s Mask, I just started getting into emulation/retro gaming because of my Steam Deck and getting involved with it’s community, which led me to a cool application called emudeck. Got super into the retro scene since then, and a lot of these games came out before I was born so it’s fun to try them and have fun with a lot of these gems; been having a blast since. Will definitely give it a go now tho! Do you think I should first do Ocarina of Time or does that not matter?

        If you’re familiar with any Zelda game I wouldn’t worry about playing oot first. (But I would still suggest playing it if you enjoy retro games) They tell different stories and happen in different worlds. Majora’s mask does build on mechanics you would have learned in oot but it’s not essential. They do make the occasional reference to oot. (To save dev time they recycled a lot of the assets from oot)

        I’m glad you had fun with Luigi’s mansion. I never got too far playing as a kid. But I had fun playing the new one with a buddy.

        In my opinion, the GameCube version of Majora’s mask was the best one. It’s still a N64 game under the hood but the controls feel nicer and the game runs better.

        Playing OOT first is not necessary, you’ll pick up all the relevant plot without it. However, Majora’s Mask was made as a sequel to OOT, and having the knowledge of the OOT world and characters will underscore a lot of subtext in MM that you’d likely miss otherwise.

        (Nearly) every character in MM is a character from OOT, but shifted one timeline over. They’re the same character but they aren’t the same people. Seeing what’s different between the two iterations speaks just as much as seeing what is the same.

    The speedruns for Luigi’s Mansion were pretty cool, one of the few games with active max% and min% categories!

    I remember when my brother and I were kids and we got to the point where you needed to catch all Boos but his reading wasn’t good yet and so we never figured out what to actually do, only for me to then just play it again 3 years later and finishing it :D

    I am so jealous! I’ve been wanting to do this for years

      I did run through eternal darkness last year though

      The M rated Nintendo published game! How was it?

        It’s absolutely fantastic! If you’ve never experienced it before, I highly recommend!
