So... what you're saying is I should play Majora's Mask?
I've never really been into Zelda, so is it worth it?

Yes! One of the best gaming series of all time.

Most frustrating game ever....I love it but I hate it at the same time.

As a side note and unrelated to the purpose behind the thread, Majora's Mask is easily one of the best Zelda games ever. It's a much darker game than the other Zelda's, and it doesn't screw around with trying to have too grandiose of a wishy washy story. It's quite simple, you've traveled to a land that has been met with a terrible fate, and it's up to you to slowly but surely avert it's Destiny three days at a time. It's much more challenging than the other Zeldas, and every second counts, because once you hit the three day mark you have to reset the world or die, and if you don't reach certain milestones you have to start over from scratch. Each run becomes more purposeful, more planned. The moon is everpresent, creating some of the best theming I've seen in a game, it's always reminding you that the end is near as it leers down at you. There's a ton of side quests that are complex, varied, and interesting, and the dungeons are certainly memorable (though there are only four). I'd certainly reccommend it if you could pick it up easily. It starts a little slow but things pick up after the first temple or two.

Probably the darkest of the Zelda series. Tons of symbolism in this game, which of course I didn't notice until I replayed it as an adult. Oh god the nostalgia.

When I realised where each mask came from and how they were created I was sold.

Ocarina of Time is much better IMO. Start there instead.
