That's the beauty of this game, chumps. You think the side quests are shit? Don't do them. You can play this game however you want, and imo the only parts it drags on are the Pirate Fortress and the Gibdo Well. The only quest I'd say is blatant padding is Don Gero's, and the fact you have to do the Anju/Kafei quest twice. Personally I love it. It has the best Zelda 3D Zelda bosses, a fully-functioning town on a 3 day loop with tons of shit to do (which I happen to find most of charming, but to each his own) and tree alternate forms of Link to control, all fun to use and encapsulating several items. The over world is a hell of a lot better than Ocarina, the dungeons are some of the best of the franchise, and it's got that old adventure game charm, with the masks and songs functioning as items did in those. It's definitely my favorite 3D Zelda.

The 3DS version makes the overall experience smoother but it also fucked up the bosses and Zora Link. What a shame.

I remember watching that recording years ago, did it ever go anywhere? The guy seemed to know what he was doing, but I can't help but feel that that sort of project would be the kind of thing to just fall apart.

Not him, but a big chunk of the game is spent investigating and talking with the NPC characters, who all have actual scheduled routines with events that are triggered at specific times of day. Yes, there are dungeons and items and all sorts of common Zelda tropes, but the devs certainly placed a great deal of emphasis on immersing the player in the lives of the townsfolk.

That said, I wouldn't call Majora's Mask a life sim anymore than I'd call Wind Waker a boat sim. It has elements from those sorts of games in spades, yes, but it's still very much a Zelda game.

What about the chicken farm, where all the little cucco chicks are gonna die, so you need to play the marching song so they become adults to cheer up Grog?

Get's me everytime. Amazing game.
