10 Hard-Earned Rewards Video Games Took From You Anyway
1. Not The Masks! - The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask is one of the most depressing entries in the series, with themes of death and loss present all throughout its world.
The game’s story culminates with a rare sliver of hope as Link travels inside the falling moon in order to stop it.
However, even in this heroic moment, the game finds a way to take something precious from you.
As the title may suggest, collecting masks is very important in Majora's Mask. Over the course of the game, Link has to collect 24 different masks, most of which offer him amazing powers when worn.
Each mask you get is precious, and it significantly improves the gameplay, as they can make you run faster, turn into different creatures, and help you locate hidden objects.
By the end of the game, having the full mask collection in your inventory is a big point of pride, but before you can feast your eyes on this accomplishment, the game takes it from you!
Right as you acquire the final mask to beat the game’s last boss, the moon’s residents force you to give up most of the masks you’ve collected!
Come on! At least let us do one victory lap around Termina with them!
