We got Majora's Mask strictly for Christmas but decided to test it out first to make sure it worked ok... several hours later we finally put it away after finishing the first area and dungeon. I can't blame myself really, it's such a good game. The time loop/bombers notebook mechanic is great and unusual as are Link's mask transformations (especially rolly Goron Link). Termina is an eerie and twisted version of Hyrule, especially with that big moon glaring down at it and Clock Town feels like a living breathing town with so much to see and do in it. Even with 4 dungeons the game doesn't feel too short and the boss battle with Goht is one of the best moments in any game ever. It's also quite dark for a Zelda with a couple of genuinely upsetting moments in it.
