I figure it is a wash anyway. On one hand, I could have not used the mask. Majora's Mask could have kicked my ass, used up all seven of my bottled fairies, then still killed me. I could have tried again and again, failed, give up. Done what I do for Ocarina of Time (play the whole game, can't beat the boss, so never see the end.) Or, because I spent so much time getting every mask - the one from Epona's race was really hard. The two guys I raced against cheat. I had to reset the time, and spent like the whole three game days just racing them over and over until I beat them. And I spent hours on the moon child games. They were the worst. All about timing, and precision. I almost gave up then. Majora's Mask doesn't exactly have the most linear plot. If you don't know what the hell you're doing, it can be quite off putting. One of the bosses is two centipede like creatures, and they nearly killed me - and that was the last boss before Majora's Mask. After all that, I think it is fully justified, that I could slap on a mask, and beat the last boss in under two minutes.

I'm totally stoked about it. Majora's Mask is my new second favorite Zelda game. It used to be Wind Waker, but Majora's Mask has a boss that shoots bombs out of its ass, which seriously cracked me up. That alone over took Wind Waker.
