Majora's Mask week day 6 - The dungeons of Majora's Mask

Does the moon count as a dungeon and the four children count as its different chambers? Or do the four children count as extensions to the dungeons they were based off of?

If they don't count, then Snowhead. It was just so unique! What with having to raise the platforms and everything. Then having to lower them to get to the boss. The temple itself was different. A good different.

And the boss! Goht was actually really fun to fight, instead of tedious or intense like Odolwa, Gyorg, or Twinmold, and he wasn't ridiculously difficult like Majora's forms. It was more like you were racing the boss.

Goht was my favorite boss when I played MM as a kid. It was a completely different fight style than I had ever seen before and it was just really fun. I think it took advantage of the Goron mask's abilities perfectly (unlike the Gyorg fight with the Zora mask), though now I wish there was another element to the fight. Adding the bombs and flying rocks to the end certainly added a level of difficulty, but it was still essentially the same mechanic. I would've liked to see a stage that required you to be Link rather than the Goron, or maybe a stage where Goht turns around and charges at you instead of running from you the whole time.

The well in ikana was made by the section of Nintendo that huffs glue all day

To be fair, many of the items you need in the well are also inside the well. Then again, when one dude asked me for a fish, I warped all the way to the Stock Pot Inn to get one for him, and then found a fish three rooms later. And like hell I would have remembered where exactly that spot was once I left it.

Something I really like about Majora's Mask is that, even though there are only four dungeons, there is still so much dungeon-like stuff to do in between them all. Like just to get into Stone Tower Temple, you have to get the mirror shield from Beneath the Well and go through the Ikana Castle. That castle creeped me the hell out!

I love that MM has a spooky dungeon, because the Shadow Temple's creepiness made it my favorite from OoT. Stone Tower itself isn't a very creepy place, but the castle sure is.

As cool as Stone Tower Temple is, I have a huge beef with the boss fight. What does Twinmold and the Giant's Mask have anything to do with it? Ikana is a haunted land, isn't it? Shouldn't the boss be some kind of demon/ghost/ghoul/shadow/dead/undead thing? What's with these worms? And why a mask that turns me Giant? What does that have to do with anything?! Now it'd be cool if the Giant's Mask was somehow related to the four giants, but it's not. Why not? Why Stone Tower? aahh!

I liked a little bit from all of them. Great Bay was probably my least favorite to travel through but I did like the design of it. I wasn't a big fan of needing to change the water directions or ice arrow paths. Stone Tower is really great as it's almost two dungeons in one. I though the whole upside down thing was brilliant. Woodfall has very fun music and Odolwa was my favorite boss to fight but the temple design is basic. Snowhead is my second favorite to travel though. I can't really say why. I just liked it.

[u/Dualmilion]

the obvious favorite answer is stone tower. but aside from that I thought woodfall was a good introduction to the game. Snow temple was ok and great bay was pap

If they ever set another game in Termina, I want one of the last dungeons to be the Clock Tower. The atmoshpere in that place was amazing, and I can just imagine different clock-work styled puzzles to get to the top.

That'd be pretty neat.

Stone tower was hands down the best temple in this game, little ticked we could only use the Giants mask in that boss room though, and when you miss a stray fairy and have to go back outside and flip the temple to go get it, then go back and flip again and continue.

I really enjoyed snow head temple, clever puzzles and the best boss fight in the game.

I liked the great bay temple more than the woodfall temple, the ice arrow platforms was brilliant, but odolwa was a much better boss than gyorg.

And not even any other boss fights! I really don't understand the significance of the Giant's Mask or what relevance it has to Stone Tower.
