10 Best Gaming Remakes Of This Console Generation
10. The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D
Majora's Mask's tale of Lynchian mask sellers, permanently grimacing moons and grotesque man-children seared itself into the minds of those who played it back in the year 2000. Fourteen years later, Nintendo decided to traumatise a whole new generation of gamers with the 3DS remake.
Majora's Mask's oppressively apocalyptic atmosphere and nightmarish world (no benevolent God would suffer Tingle to exist) have made it something of a cult classic among Zelda fans, and the 3DS remake is undoubtedly the best way to experience it. The graphics may look dated in the cruel light of 2020, but they're still leagues ahead of the muddy textures and jagged edges of the original release.
Crucially, the 3DS version includes a number of Quality of Life upgrades that make the game much more palatable for a modern audience. Save points are more numerous, and the Bombers' Notebook (sidequest journal) is far more useful in the remake.
Nintendo also remade another Zelda classic with Link's Awakening this generation, but given that game's infamous frame rate issues and lack of meaningful upgrades beyond the new game engine it's Majora's Mask that gets the nod from us.
