The Legend of Zelda is one of the most classic series in gaming with many fans still playing each one of its entries years after their original releases, including The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Now, streamer MajinPhil has completed the first-ever no-hit run of Majora's Mask.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is one of the series' more complex and darker titles. It features a time loop that sees players completing the same three days over and over, each time ending with a frighteningly grinning moon crashing into the planet. The game's unique features have made it stand out in the minds of the series' fans so much that Majora's Mask is still compared to new games in the franchise today.
These features are also what encourage fans like MajinPhil to continue playing the game more than two decades since its original release. His achievement is undeniably impressive, especially as he is the first person in the world to complete a no-hit run in the game. To make the feat even more impressive, one of the run's official rules is that players are unable to user their shield to block projectiles or enemy attacks at all. The Legend of Zelda series features gameplay that is typically reliant on using the shield to block attacks, so much so that the Hylian shield has become iconic in the gaming community.
The clip of MajinPhil completing the game was uploaded to the LivestreamFail subreddit by Reddit user Reversalx7. There it has already started to gain quite a bit of attention from fans who are impressed by the feat. Many of the comments are discussing how Majora's Mask was too difficult for them to even complete as children, let alone beat without taking a single bit of damage while not using a shield. This is especially true as many fans of the series think that The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask has some of the hardest boss fights in the entire series.
It is always great to see someone achieve something that they have undoubtedly put countless hours into pursuing. The achievement is a huge moment for MajinPhil and it will be great to see what other challenges he is able to tackle in the future. With new Legend of Zelda games over the horizon, like The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD releasing later this month, there will surely be many more crazy feats accomplished across the series by its dedicated fans.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is available now on 3DS, GameCube, Nintendo 64, and Wii U.
