A creative gamer created an amazing picture of the Clock Tower in The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, with the iconic moon slowly approaching from above. In general, the Zelda fan base is split when it comes to Majora’s Mask, with some thinking it’s one of the most significant masterpieces in the series and others labeling it as overrated. For those who think Majora’s Mask is a classic in the franchise, this fan rendering is a must-see.
Even after 25 years, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is considered not only one of the best Zelda games by many fans but also one of the greatest games of all time for its innovative gameplay, timeless music, and groundbreaking 3D open-world environment. Majora’s Mask is a direct sequel to Ocarina of Time, a first for the series, which uses many of the same assets from its predecessor but also creates a brand-new world for players to explore. However, it’s important to note that Majora’s Mask is a completely different experience, with a darker tone, a more complex story, and a time-limiting structure to its gameplay that only allows players three in-game days to fulfill their objectives before having to reverse time with a magical song. If three entire days pass, the world collapses under the weight of the menacing moon, which looms over the player the entire game.

An artistic Legend of Zelda fan shares a look at their impressively beautiful woodworking recreation of the iconic Majora's Mask.
Most Majora’s Mask fan art revolves around the colorful and spooky-looking mask itself, but Reddit user jesseodst44 did something different by focusing on one of the most important areas in the game, the Clock Tower. However, what really grabs attention in this piece is the famous moon from Majora’s Mask leering down from above. One of the best parts about this image are the little details included throughout, like the mask salesman hiding in a dark corner on the right side of the image.
This is the second Zelda-based rendering that jesseodst44 has posted on Reddit, with the first one showcasing the battle between Link and Ganondorf at the end of Ocarina of Time. This image retains the same dark color palette of the Majora’s Mask rendering and truly brings Link’s arch nemesis to life. One person even commented that they could “hear Ganondorf’s laugh” just by looking at the picture.
Both images were praised by fans, with some of them asking for a printed-out copy or wallpaper for their phone or PC. There are many more influential Legend of Zelda games that can be drawn from for inspiration for jesseodst44’s next piece. The most obvious choice would be Zelda: Twilight Princess, as the dark tones of that game fit the same style. It would be interesting to see Jessest44 tackle some of the lighter games in the series as well, such as Zelda: Wind Waker or Zelda: Skyward Sword, to see what they would look like with this unique style.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D is available on Nintendo 3DS.
