You may like the three-day mechanic, but I feel it's limiting in creating the open world Zelda is known for. It's just such a huge departure from the series norm that it's polarizing.

Summary: Majora's Mask is an ok game on its own, but as a Zelda title it's unappealing, but a nice change of pace if you've been playing traditional Zelda for a while. Wind Waker provides a very nice experience of what Zelda is about if you're dipping your toes in. But again, that's just my opinion.
