 Awesome, but I wish I could rate it 4.5 stars.Jul 23, 2009
By Ann Foerster
This manga takes all of Majora's Mask, and tries to scrunch it into one volume. In my opinion, the half a star less is because of this. The temples aren't even used or whatever, and the pacing for the different levels is extremely awkward and rushed. Some parts like infiltrating Ikana Valley's castle is completely nonexistent. Plus, you don't even meet the first boss, Odolwa, until almost halfway through. I like how they focused on the story between Anju and Kafei, since I liked that mission during the game. I still call her Anju now as compared to the cuckoo lady from OoT. Plus, Anju's grandmother is awesome! The ending works itself out nicely, and the author provides an alternate back story which is fairly interesting. Plus, Link turns into Fierce Diety/Oni Link! Who looks freakin' amazing! The art is also really good, and based on the game once again. Plus, little Link's personality is adorable. So, good art and excellent story, but iffy pacing and could have been two volumes.

Even better than the gameMay 13, 2009
By José Eduardo Ortega Ríos
The things I love the most about the manga incarnations of The Legend of Zelda, are the characters and the plot. Sometimes, just like in this case, there's much more depth to the story and development for the characters, making an even better experience. If you liked the game, you'll like this even more.

 Legend of ZeldaMar 24, 2009
By Shelley Iverson
"the harpist"
My nine year old son LOVES Zelda! He has purchased every game, toy, book and poster he can get his hands on! For his birthday, we got him all three of the Legend of Zelda books, and he was thrilled. They weren't what I was expecting, in that they are all written in comic book style. Plus, they are written backwards, meaning, you read/flip pages from left to right, and start at what is normally the back of the book (not published in the U.S.). Hasn't been a problem for my son! My fourteen year old just asked his younger brother if he could read them, so they must hold the interest of older kids as well.
One of the deppest Zelda games finally on manga.Sep 17, 2011
By Riccardo
Majora's Mask has always been one of my favorite video games, along with Ocarina of Time, they have to be, hands down, the best games I've ever played. Part of what made me like them so much was their deep story and rich characters. But, being N64 games, the technology wasn't quite there for the developers to be able to tell a complete story with 100% full character development and structure. The cutscenes had to be reduced in order to leave room for actual gameplay; this was great since it left it to the player's imagination to fill in the blanks and connect the dots to make the story complete. What this manga does (along with Ocarina of Time's manga) is expand on the game's story and focus on characters instead of fighting/battles. It's a great purchase if you're a fan of both games and I fully recommend it. The drawing are beautiful, taking inspiration from the anime-like style of the games' actual artwork.
Majora;s Mask has one of the deepest storylines in gaming, there are some things and subtleties missing from this book but overall it's a great purchase if you're a Zelda fan.
LoZ: Majora's MaskAug 14, 2009
Oh all the manga series i've delved into and devoured, the LoZ series is the one closest to home and to heart. Being a person who has played the games and what not, reading the manga was exhilirating. Although not every detail could be placed in the LoZ manga books, it is obvious that the aritist took great care and consideration to make the mange enjoyable for all fans of the games.
