Original Story, 1/21/22

Nintendo has revealed that The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask is coming to its Nintendo Switch Online subscription service next month. 

As usual, because Majora’s Mask is a Nintendo 64 game, you won’t be able to play it if you’re just a standard Nintendo Switch Online subscriber – you must be subscribed to the pricier Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack tier to play it and other Nintendo 64 games that hit the service. This news comes just a day after Banjo Kazooie, the classic Rare-developed Nintendo 64 platformer, hit the Expansion Pack and it seems that Majora’s Mask is the next major addition. 

“Save Termina before it’s met with a terrible fate,” Nintendo’s tweet reads. “The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask comes to Nintendo Switch for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members in February.” 

Only Nintendo can tell us when. If it follows suit of a recent similar announcement, we’ll find out sometime in February, likely days before it hits the service. Nintendo had announced in December that Banjo Kazooie was coming to the service. The exact date of its arrival was revealed a few days later. It wouldn’t be surprising if Nintendo did the same here. 

Majora’s Mask is a sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, first released in 2000. The Ocarina of Time was darkened by this sequel, which placed Link back at Termina, an odd but familiar place. After Skull Kid, under the control of Majora’s Mask, sends him there, it’s up to Link to stop the moon from crashing into Earth. To stop this evil from happening again, he does it three more times. At the moment, it’s currently available on Nintendo 64, Wii, and WiiU. You can also enjoy it on Nintendo 3DS.
