One of the most emotional scenes in the entire game imo, it made me really happy that you could finally save a living person with the Song of Healing for once, and not someone who was either about to die, or already dead. The fact that it's a parent makes it even more intense. I'm still close to crying whenever I get to this point.
@@user-zj4zz4un5z Wow dude, talk about being an inconsiderate douche bag. So what if people want to share memories of this that can only be best described with media such as songs, video games, movies, etc. It's their right to share these experiences with others and many will relate to these experiences with their own. If you don't have anything nice to say then remember the golden rule next time. To OP, I'm sorry for your loss, losing a loved one to brain cancer/tumor can be really devastating and hope you are doing well as of late.
I love Majora's Mask because the characters feel so real. They're not just NPCs. Many can relate with them. Have you ever had a father or parent who had finally come back to their senses as you patiently cared for them or were afraid they would never return? Have you ever been a parent and had gone through such a nightmarish experience only to find relief in seeing your precious children? Have you ever been there to help someone when something had tried to destroy such a family?
Thank you for your comment. From the age of 11, my parents split. My dad had episodes of alcoholism when it was just my sister and I staying with him for the weekend. I grew up much quicker than most of my adolescent's friends. My father was a intellectual and a soft man when sobre, he'd take us to the movies then he would drink a few beers and pick us up as a different person. Many times as a teenager, I would defend my sister and I from the abuse and delirium. That was over 10 years ago but I still remember. I remember sometimes thinking that my dad was like Pamelas father in his muffied state when he was drunk. This game coupled with my childhod and the experiences still to this day reflect a nostalgia which can be considered good and bad. It's the connection we make in life with themes and introspect that impact our decision making for the future. I'm a bit older now but I still remember being that horrifed child but things like playing my N64 helped broaden my mind and led me to question the emotional response out of games like Zelda which made me the person I am. My dad still suffers from alcoholism and I talk to him after his episodes from a rational empathetic point of view and I am also there to try and help and heal him of his disease. Thank you for your comment, it's brought many good.... and bad memories. But.. at the end of the day, we learn to adapt and not repeat the same mistakes. Love your friends and family no matter who they are. I'm crying reflecting on your comment but you speak the truth on the matters I perceive.
"You had a bad dream. You were just having a little nightmare." That's... the other way around.. Pamela, a small child, soothes her father and only parent like he would his child. Like he would say to her. That's why this is so powerful to me. She was forced to grow up without her parent, locked away the nightmare, her nightmare. The scene is very short, the animation very old. But the framing of the scene, story lines and music is why this game to me is the best of all time. Majora's Mask is full of things like this, everywhere you look. The whole hero genre is blown up nowadays. But when do you ever see the hero solve the drama that goes on behind the curtains, hidden away from the world? Here, we get to save everyone from the evil in the dark. Or, depending on your interpretation; only get to save a few people from their twisted fate.
I remember how stunned I was after this moment when I saw it for the first time. This was the moment that cemented the fact that this is easily one of the best video games of all time, to me.
This has to be (in my opinion) the heaviest part of the entire game. Not only do you get to trap even MORE evil into the form of another mask, but you actually get to save not one, but two poor souls in the process. You can actually feel the emotions of the father, the little girl, and Link, all at once! Can't wait to see what the remake of this will look like!
@@Ironbat92 that's why people after getting all four masks. run through ALL side quests on the final run. and kill all bosses.. saving everyone.. but MAN is it a PAIN in the ass... (looks at zora eggs and wedding mask quests)
@@LuluOliveira_ Fair enough. I wrote this a while ago, so seven years is a lot of time to reflect. Hell, look at what it did to link in the previous game.
This is why Majora's Mask will be one of the greatest games of all time; the way it portrayed humanity was God like......This scene, yes, brings me to tears to this day. When I was a child, this was a scene that gave me nightmares for years. As a guy in his late 20s, it is a scene that contains ridiculous pure emotion.....Bless this game :) The maturity of Pamela is extraordinary. She 'lies' to her father out of compassion, saying after he asked, "What have I been doing??" And she responds with, "You were just having a bad dream that's all" Pamela is probably under 12 years old and has the emotional maturity of a Saint. No games, or works of fiction or film, or video game, covey as much depth to humanity as Majora's Mask. The amount of depth and layers to it shock me year after year. Existence knows what the writers and staff experiences or 'consumed' to produce this game, It is superior to Ocarina of Time for the rational of depth of characters.
When I first saw this, it was midnight, nobody was around, it was dead silent, the music made it feel so unsettling, when I walked up to that wardrobe, and he popped out, I jumped :(
I remember doing this part when I was maybe 9 or 10. When I saw the guy jump out of the closet looking like that, shambling slowly towards me, and the sudden shift in music, it scared me so bad I stopped playing the game for a week because I had to gather the courage to play that part again to find out what to do.
Recuerdo cuando tenia 8 años, llegar ala escena del padre saliendo del closet, me quede mirando fijamente como se acercaba y me asuste dejando el juego encendido y saliendo corriendo de mi cuarto, mi hermano mayor tuvo que apagarlo y no lo volvi a jugar hasta el dia siguiente. Despues mientras lo jugaba ya lo jugaba con miedo esperando otra escena asi de aterradora
Man, I must've seen this cutscene a million times, and I still get on the verge of crying like a baby... This cutscene alone makes Majora's Mask superior to OoT.
Can we not fight over which is better? Both have their strengths and weaknesses. I personally like both about as much as each other, and my favorite switches between the 2 depending on my mood.
Shit loosening scene... happy carnival like music surrounded by death... closet opens to reveal a man half-transformed into a Gibdo begging for death... heavy stuff this Majora's Mask game
I always found the inside of that house really creepy for some reason. There is something about the environment and the music that just doesn't feel right.
As much as I love Majora's mask AVGN said it best. This is a video game not a storybook. And although the story is amazing alot else was very lackluster
The Sadness nearly overwhelmed every possible Feeling of Happiness for me, back then. It was so sad when i realised that even tough only fictional, i happened to rescue a Person from a "likely" inescapable Fate as a Monster. Imagine if Link never happened to walk into that House... ... ... ... ... that Girl would have lived the Rest of her Life unhappy - with her Father transformed into a Monster without any Hope to become Human again. Only fictional, luckily - but still incredible sad. Made me so much more happy when i got it that it's a happy Ending alright.
God that thing really is scary, but oh God, this scene is so beautiful and sad and wonderful and this is really my favorite Zelda game ever. I agree its darker and that is wonderful.
Little story about me and this part. When I was 4 years old, I begged my brother to let me play MM. He finally told me I could, when I asked him what to do he told me I had to open the wardrobe. So 4 year old me goes and opens the wardrobe thinking everything is fine, and that thing comes out. I was too scared to even go near the N64 for a week after that.
By the end of Majora’s Mask I had a To Do list of things I knew I needed to do on my last run through to make sure they happened, and this was one of them.
I find it interesting that it is the little girl that tells her dad he was just having a nightmare. Also one of the first scenes in a game where I felt that my actions mattered TT_TT
I first played this about 3 years ago so I was 18. And I opened this closet and jumped out of my flipping skin. And then desperately thought, "SONG OF HEALING! SONG OF HEALING!"
I hate to be "that guy", and sure, it's fine if people like Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask equally, but this.... stuff like this is exactly why I prefer Majora's Mask. This is probably just as, if not, MORE mature than Twilight Princess. Ocarina of Time is a typical good vs. evil type of plot, while Majora's Mask is about an entire population in danger, quite possibly the entire world. Ganondorf is easily the best part of OoT, but MM? That game is just an emotionally gripping game, and it's a shame that future Zelda titles aren't like this game; Majora's Mask is a unique journey.
TP felt like a tryhard attempt at being mature. Like it was an attempt at overcorrecting after WW. It was also boring AF, i couldn't even get myself to finish playing through it. Also agree that MM is better than OoT.
I was about... 12? when I played this part. I was so scared I reflexively attacked him. Doing so causes the young girl to rush in, yell for you to get out and try to push her dad back into the closet. Me and my mother played together and we tried to figure what to do, and when I recalled the others we had helped on the verge of death, then why not someone who had become undead? If anything, it'd be a compassionate mercy, given the history of everyone else the Song of Healing had... Helped.
For me the saddest part is where the camera settles for a second on link watching them hug. Link an orphan briefly see's something that he has never known and will never have.
what's really interesting about this is that him a lot is the first and as far as I know the only character in the history of the franchise to not only call link out on going into another person's home and actually kick him out.
One of the most emotional scenes in the entire game imo, it made me really happy that you could finally save a living person with the Song of Healing for once, and not someone who was either about to die, or already dead.

I lost my father to a brain tumor. I watched him turn into a husk, a zombie. I played this game shortly before he died. This scene made me feel things
I’m sorry for your loss man ❤️
I'm sorry for your loss, but it's starting to get on my nerves when people write their sorrowful unrelated stories under game and cartoon footages

'Pamela runs to her father'
Me: ... 'cries'
I CRI EVRITIM
@@waxitoto1234
Pamela is so cute she even looks a bit like an Anime Character.
One of the most satisfying side quest for me in this game
Not technically a side quest since you need it to finish the game
I find it funny that while the father was in the closet he mummified the Teddy bear and bucket too.
Gosh this scared me when I first played this game.
nightmariversial Same
Yeah but with the Song of healing, he was returned to normal and his daughter was crying as she and her father hugging her, making me very sad.
This whole part of the game scared me

Oh that must have sucked.
I love Link's face when he sees the half man half mummy
The Song of Healing is one of the top songs in Zelda history.

When I saw the guy jump out of the closet looking like that, shambling slowly towards me, and the sudden shift in music, it scared me so bad I stopped playing the game for a week because I had to gather the courage to play that part again to find out what to do.
This scene still brings this man to waterfall like tears. Even though I have seen it thousands of times.
Just watching this NOW is making me VERY close to crying. And I'm really hard to cry...

This scene makes me feel bad for Link cause he has no parents D:
I want to give him a hug...
He had 720 p on a CZcams video from 2009
Man, I must've seen this cutscene a million times, and I still get on the verge of crying like a baby... This cutscene alone makes Majora's Mask superior to OoT.

According to the Esrb back it 2000 this was acceptable for the E rating.
1:18 "I'll just take this then..."
He just completely ignores them and lifts up his prize! XD
Reading all these deep emotional comments then I come across this one lmao XXD
I still cry when I see this
This happens to be my favorite moment in the game.
That scene makes me cry :(
Family: why are you crying? It's just a game.
The game:
0:10
OOHHH...now I see.
I always thought the father had like a sliced cucumber on his eye, but now with the HD graphics I can see it's just bloodshot.
A SLICED CUCUMBER HAHUHUHSHNABH
Scared the hell out of me as a kid.
Laugh at those character sound effects all you want but they made me cry like a child back in the day.
This shit made me cry when I was younger
The fact that the little girl was trying to protect her dad from his own guilt just hits different man
Shit loosening scene... happy carnival like music surrounded by death... closet opens to reveal a man half-transformed into a Gibdo begging for death... heavy stuff this Majora's Mask game
I always found the inside of that house really creepy for some reason.
There is something about the environment and the music that just doesn't feel right.
@@Peter_1986
Is her a mummy? Boy he looks scarier than any horror movie monster..
A game series so incredible that we miss major moments like this and still have a tremendous journey. Zelda is the best game series end of story.
The music is fantastic in every moment. Good sound direction makes a game
I like how if you don't play the song in time or attack him, she comes in to lock him back up.
Emotional father daughter moment
Link: I GOT THE GIBDO MASK!!!
Da da da daaaaaaaaaaaa
@@JPGpack actually is a mask so: da da do da do do daaaaaaaa
People say Ocarina of Time is one of the greatest games of all time, but I think Majora's Mask is better than OoT will ever be.
As much as I love Majora's mask AVGN said it best. This is a video game not a storybook. And although the story is amazing alot else was very lackluster
this is either the saddest or happiest thing ive ever seen. you know whats funny, i just played this part in the game not 10 minutes ago. Literally
Oh yea the Gibtos back then where terrefying for 8yr old me. Also Song of healing still spreads sadness.
When I first saw this scene in the game I shed atleast 4-9 tears..
Reminded me of a nightmare I had when I was little about my dad.. ;(
at least you had a dad that didn't leave you and your family =/
A 2 minute long interaction at most and I’m already in tears man this game really gets me sometimes
when i was 13 and got to this scene, it scared the shit out of me, and to this day it still creeps me out
this moment is one on the best of MM
this scene makes me wanna cry everytime i watch it and play this part of the game. it's so beautiful
This instantly broke me to tears. And yes, even to this day..i am still crying 😭😭
The Sadness nearly overwhelmed every possible Feeling of Happiness for me,

Hope to become Human again. Only fictional, luckily - but still incredible sad.
Made me so much more happy when i got it that it's a happy Ending alright.
Well, i mean, the rest of her life would not have been that long
Man, wouldn't have been cool if the mask could transform you into a gibdo entirely instead of just making you walk among them.
one of my favorite scenes
Tout simplement Magnifique 😢
God that thing really is scary, but oh God, this scene is so beautiful and sad and wonderful and this is really my favorite Zelda game ever. I agree its darker and that is wonderful.
Scariest part as a little kid. Now it's just an awesome family moment!

me : WHAT THE HECK?
Perhaps the father wasn't the only one affected by his experiments.
Now,BEN Pops up out of no where.
Your Aoki pic is more unsettling than the Gibdo in the closet. He has demon eyes.
Probadly Pamela's father thought that it's living, and mummified it in his Gidbo-form.
awesome quallity, dude!
He even has a Bob chart
Song of healing I believe
I tried playing the Song of Healing upstairs and it worked, but somehow I teleported back downstairs. XD
Would be good if scientist gives you a hearth if you gives him a ghost in a bottle.
Mummy! Oh wait no
Dude he looked HORRIFIYING
How to you enter the house?
What is the name of the song that plays during this cutscene?
song of healing
i love majoras mask
if only i could make it past clock town within 3 days bc i suck
If only FMAB and TLOZ can crossover
Scary af
Link is awesome I wish I was him
Is it bad when I first got here, the music threw me off and I thought it was a fight until she kicked me out 😭
1:11 "AAAAA HAAAAAA" kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Dawwwwww he has a mummy teddy bear XD
Music from Mario 64?
Man I really don't understand how I could like this game as a kid. I should have been scared but instead I just thought it was cool
So that’s we’re bob from SMG4s from
If your one of those ppl that thinks ocarina of time is better than majoras mask U dont need to go any farther than this to see why your wrong.
A part of the game where simply playing a song ends the whole quest and then that man gets noshed off by his own daughter? Uh yeaah, no.
