There has been hundreds of games that attempt to replicate some feeling of dread, but I'd be willing to say no game gets as close to putting a pit in my stomach as Majora's Mask. There is no other game so macabre. I think Ocarina of Time is a fine game, but it's sequel is fantastic. Having less dungeons with far more interesting lore than anything from before this point, and frankly nothing in the franchise has reached these heights since.

The three-day cycle, the music, everything. It keeps you constantly working, rushing around Termina. With quest lines that take full advantage of the fact you'll be playing the same seventy two hours over and over again. Not only would I say is this the best Zelda game, but I believe this has the best side quests in every any game I've ever played. The Anju & Kafei side quest still sticks with me- as cliche as that may sound.

Play the goddamn game.
