When I did my 100% completion run of Ocarina of Time a little over a year ago I couldn't believe how perfect it was even now in the modern era and nothing seems to come close in game design so when I was starting my Majora's Mask 100% completion playthrough I thought for sure I was going to be let down because how do you follow something like Ocarina of Time? Especially when you only really had 2 years to develop it. I'm writing this review right after finishing it and I can tell you with not one doubt in my mind I think everything about Majora's Mask is better than Ocarina of Time which trust me I'm not saying lightly. The music, game world, characters, bosses, story, and game mechanics just jived with me better on this one. The three-day cycle premise is probably one of my favorites in video game history, and I hope Nintendo uses it again in some way one day. I'm all over the place, but basically, what I'm trying to say is that Majora's Mask is a masterpiece and deserves every single one of you guys' attention. If you like innovation in gaming, this is top of the line. The last thing I'll say is that if they were able to create something this good with only 2 years I have no doubt in my mind the 6 years they've had to make Tears of the Kingdom is really going to show and should have every one rest easy knowing that Nintendo care way too much for this series to just rehash stuff.
