Heyo! I owe a huge thanks to the community for being so supportive of this remake. Taking down the originals was a very personal decision. While I understand curiosity, I ask that my boundaries be respected. The focus now is moving forward, making good content, and working towards a better future. Later in the year, I'd like to retire an older series into the vintage playlist and do another remake. Some of those older videos are *rough* in terms of quality! My goal with remakes of the older videos is to amp up to 10. Cleaning up scripts, better video, improved audio - just make that sweet lore shine.
What would YOU want to see get the 2024 shine?
Outlast? Amnesia? Dead Space?! Maybe even.... Bastion?
See you soon with more Majora's Mask.
-Tip
I definitely believe the first 2 or 3 videos you made deserve a glow up. Even if it was your earliest stuff that got me here. I admit your style has evolved. And I like the way it went. Keep up the good work
I would like it if the Metro series got the 2024 shine. I like Metro and the story is too good to not be retold plus it’s actually quite haunting when thought about for too long. You don’t need to read the books though, not that you necessarily could given how they’re in Russian. I’m rambling, apologies.
I personally would love to see your take on the lore of Skyrim or Warframe.
I always loved your Dishonored lore series so I hope those stay up for the foreseeable future :)
Outlast would be very interesting as I don't understand the story too well but I believe you'll deliver a great story for certain.
Kuon!
I went 35 minutes before I realized I have been here before.
I just hope I deposited all my rupees before the moon fall.
What a totally un-frustrating way to play a video game!

Kill the Deku man... 🥜 👨
🤣🤣🤣🤣 priceless!
BABE WAKE UP NEW ZELDA LADY OF LORE JUST DROPPED
the way you tell a story is so cool compared to other creators its facinating to say the least
she reads it like a guru reads tales of the past to the younger members of the tribe around a campfire
I ADORED Majora's mask as a kid and still have a wonderful soft spot for it 20 + years later but OMG her lore explanations just give me TINGLES!!! I could know a game inside and out but STILL learn something from her coverage on it OR just see things in a slightly different way and ugh....I just absolutely love it and can not wait for her next video to drop lol
Tingles, eh? 🧚♂️
Bro she’s just reading relax 😂😂😂😂 like wtf
Beautiful as always tip toe.. Thank you so much for recreating this.. Also if you do a four sword or Ocarina of time remake the mangas definitely help tell the lore
I love your method of storytelling! The original 3 videos you made on majoras mask was my all time favorite to fall asleep to because it was great to follow along with, and your voice was so soothing!
This remake is still absolutely fantastic, and although the narration is a lot sharper and less soothing (probably not putting it on my sleep playlist) I still love it to bits. You do a wonderful job telling the story in an engaging way. And the new voice over is more exciting!
While I have no clue why you took the older videos down and I really do miss them, I understand that, for whatever reason, you were unhappy with them and I totally respect you removing them.
And thank you so much for doing the remake! You are amazing and appreciated!
Also
Sucker punching the goron baby absolutely took me out! 💀
You know, this gets me thinking... would a "sleepy time lore" version of the audio be something to help? I've gotten quite a lot of messages from folks over the last few years that enjoy sleeping to the videos, and I love being able to help the community insomniacs along. If you don't mind me asking, is it just the vocal audio you enjoy? Does music add/detract to it? Or does the video accompany the process?
I have to keep certain storytelling aspects and energies to engage the general audience, but specifically what would make it a gentler way to fall asleep?
@@TiptoeTheTankIn my case the video is nice but strictly speaking audio and music is by far more important....I absolutely love your content was looking for more lore about Remnant from the Ashes and your channel hooked me.
@@TiptoeTheTank I can only speak for myself, but my take is you have a soothing voice. Some people just have that quality to their voice which is completely separate from tone and timber. Combine that with how you string together the words and you have something calming. That's just my take though so I could be waaaaaaaaaaaay off.
@@TiptoeTheTankslight adjustments to pace and tone maybe🤷♂️ but you don't have to do much. Already almost perfect for sleepy times.. I too found the OG Majoras videos quite enjoyable for falling asleep to.. was looking for them a couple days ago.. glad it wasn't a Mandala effect.. but I've been watching both your OOT videos and TP on repeat for like a week .. 😅
Your storytelling is incredible. The emotion you evoke in the story and for the characters is moving. Thanks so much for a brand new MM 🙌 please keep up the great work! 🙏 💜
@@TiptoeTheTank thank you for taking toe time to reply!
For me personally, it's all about the audio, especially your tone of voice. Your music choice helps quite a bit too but you have pretty much the perfect voice to help me drift off to sleep. I find your voice to be very calming in all your videos, but there is something about your older zelda videos in particular that is so very soothing. I think it is your pace and volume, maybe? They seem to have a little less energy and more of a dreamy kind of vibe. I can't put my finger on it.
This new one is very entertaining though. I really do love your takes on the games, its like you have a slightly different perspective than a lot of other people and it is really refreshing to see these familiar stories through different eyes.
Honestly if you wanted to do a sleep series, I would SO be all over that! But I also get that it's a lot of work, so even just the fact that you're thinking about maybe doing it is so incredibly amazing of you!
37:24 did-did she just slash at a baby💀💀😭
Listen, I'm sure it was just a misclick..
@@Viryl_TV a very nessisary misclick
I love how you hint at Termina potentially being an other dimension based on characters from OOT living different lives, because the models were just reused to speed up the release
In universe, it is another dimension, according to the game manual. :D
No shit, Sherlock. 🥱
@@Jolis_Parsec indeed Watson
As if that's never been stated.
@@sephiraeferie8396 but why does the Hyrule Encyclopedia, say that Termina is nothing more than a figment of the Skull Kid's imagination brought to life by the mask, and that once the mask was defeated and Link left, Termina ceased to exist?
I had no idea Majora’s Mask was connected to Control till I saw this video! Nice hexadecimal code there. Lol.
I haven’t been able to sleep this last month since this went down for maintenance. Thank you lore speaker; I may now obtain my long… forgotten… reeeeeessssst… 💤😪
I’m so happy this video is back
I love these lore videos. I get why you remade them. I personally miss the frantic voice of the happy mask salesman. It’s not a deal breaker lol I’ve relistened at least 6 times already lol
I still really liked the original one, but I feel like this is closer to your vision. That or something happened. I won't pry. I'll just say that you are an inspiration, and I am there for this new series.
Your storytelling skills are amazing. Curious, are the manga stories canon to the lore?
Technically they're not, but they're just so gosh dangin' cool!
It definitely isn't. And there are a LOT of differences in the Manga. But the Majora legend is an original story added in the back of the book, made completely separate from the rest of the manga. And it's just too wonderful to discard!
*"IF you believe this old legend, that is..."*
@@TiptoeTheTank Eh, it's really up to fans to decide what is canon or not these days. Nintendo can't make up their mind what is canon to the timeline, what games are canon, what spin off stories are canon, and eventually Aonuma said in an interview the story is left up to the fans to determine what they believe is true.
The Happy Mask salesman was never immune to the reset. The moment you reset to is the moment you first step out into Clock Town AFTER your first conversation with him. He doesn't remember anything that happened in the loop (not that he would have seen anything while waiting under the clock tower to begin with).
I know the internet is desperate to theory-craft about the guy because he looks so creepy, but it's a dark game and EVERYONE looks creepy in it. He taught you the Song of Healing, he's obviously supposed to be a good guy in the narrative. I know the Song of Healing sounds spooky when played, but it's an objective force for good in the world.
Ooh I like this, even better than the first! Which is saying something cause that first one was amazing. Great vid Tip.
40:09 respectable action.
yay! majoras mask content makes me so happy, especially with your narration!
We're doing this again and idc. I love The Legend of Zelda.
Legend of Zelda is the best franchise
I absolutely love what you've done remastering this series.
You are an incredible storyteller / lore-giver. Keep it up!
Also laughed at your attempts to strike the annoying, crying Goron child. Sounds messed up out of context but it was hilarious.
Thanks for the great video!
Yayy, so happy this is back 🙏🏼🙌
Thank you for your work!
Girl; You're voice and content is so sublime! I absolutely LOVE how you tell lore stories. If possible, could you cover FF Ever Crisis? Specifically the character Glenn.
Truly impressive your delivery that matches professional audiobook narration yet also the script for this video is so good. You managed to make a story I already knew enticing with your work.
Well paced. Well narrated. Fantastic editing. Another great video!
I discovered your page from the original posting of this lore, and I’ve been coming back for more videos. Keep up the great work, friend!
AAAAAAAA im so exciteddddd. the og versions of these videos were my favourite to rewatch from you and im SOOOOO FUCKING EXCITED to watch a version made with so much more experience under your belt
WOW you're good at this. I'm looking forward to Part 2!
Brilliant as always! Your Zelda stuff is so goddamn good. I didn't bat an eye when you decided to remake Majora's Mask, I knew it would be wonderful no matter what
Great work, thanks for the update.
40:10 Me too, Link.
I'm beyond happy that you brought this video back!! I love listening to them while going to bed, whether its Zelda, Elden ring, or even games like Days gone . They make me fall sleep so fast 🛌
I’m very thankful these are back on, it’s been a while and I forgot
(Sorry for being late) the livestreams you did were so fun!!! You did a amazing job
It's baaaack! Glad you remade it! Onward and upward!
And if not upward, I still volunteer as tribute.
I love your videos.. of all the lore Zelda videos out there, these are defensively the best😁
I always appreciate your storytelling. You do a wonderful job.
Love your work
So excited to watch! 🙏
Can't wait to hear this while driving to work, thanks once again
new sub here! Such an amazing work!! keep it up!
I'm loving this!!!
I almost felt like I fell through space and time when I saw this was made 3 weeks ago cause I could’ve sworn I saw this a while ago, then I saw you remade it and I was so relieved lol
Very good. I miss the happy mask salesman popping in to comment every now and then though. That was my favorite part of the old series.
Oh it's back!!! I was so worried when I saw it was gone
I love that you tell the story with the discovery of information that a first timer would have. There's nostalgia, and then there's _nostalgia._
This is the first video I've seen from this channel. And this is excellent 💜. Like and sub for sure.
This is like listening to the Fall of Civilization Podcast but with videogames. You are trully a great storyteller and, if someone listen to this only, they would think you are actually telling a real life story somehow. Great content!
This is my favorite game in terms of story in terms of gameplay etc that’s tears but I always love coming back and playing the game for its story
This is one of the best story tellings I have heard to date
A shame the original videos got taken down but i am more than happy to listen to your storytelling again.
I'm curious though. If i may ask, what happened to the person who voiced the Happy Mask Salesman?
My new favourite channel lol
What was the issue with the original? (I missed it.)
The happy mask salesman VA is noticeably absent, who knows why.
@@annhatchet3799 Oh no, so he did something bad, I’m guessing 😂😭
@@HungryPlatypus013most likely, which is a shame if that’s the case. It really added another level of depth to the story telling.
Well done, Tiptoe.
Hexadecimal string at 23:27 reads 'HMS is paranatural entity'
While I agree that the Happy Mask Salesman is not normal by any means, him remembering what he told Link before is not unusual. The request to get back Majora's Mask and the offer to revert Link's forced transformation came before the countdown started. I'm pretty sure the fulfillment of the latter is also implied to take place before the countdown restarts after Link goes back in time, despite gameplay forcing the countdown to start before the player can make that happen.
As a side note, I feel it worth pointing out that time freezes while inside the Clock Tower, where the Happy Mask Salesman is. Some might think I'm about to attribute that to the Happy Mask Salesman with what I said before, but it's important to note that time freezes specifically when _Link_ enters that space. The Happy Mask Salesman experiences and acknowledges the time that flows while Link is out in Termina. Also, that's not the only place where the countdown freezes. It's also between the times when he's defeated one of Majora's monsters and when he claims the mask that serves as the prison for one of the Giants, and it freezes one last time when Link enters the Moon. Personally I'd attribute the time freezing to the Goddess of Time. She already rewinds, slows down, and even speeds up time when Link prays to her in song, why not freeze it at important junctures? She probably can't freeze it for long, at least not without weakening herself to the point of relative uselessness. Canonically the only time Link returns inside the Clock Tower is when he gets the Deku Mask, and I can't see any reason why he'd linger. Theoretically after defeated a boss he should make a beeline to the warp, so that shouldn't be longer than a few seconds. That last time, when Link is in the moon, would be the last and longest time the Goddess of Time acts upon her domain in such a way. It wouldn't do for her new champion to fail right at the last minute because he didn't have enough time, after all. Obviously this breaks down if the player plays the Song of Time while in the moon, but that's non-canonical so it falls under 'gameplay/story segregation'.
Woah! Tiptoe, are you living in my walls? I was JUST watching the original version yesterday!
Love the vid, also what version of the game do you use for the clips?
She streamed and captured it using Retroarch Emulator and a 4k texture pack.
I could swear you've done this series before, are these re-uploads?
Even better, remakes. New footage, script and VO 👌
To Tiptoe the Tank, I have a proposition for the last part of this Majora's Mask series.
You see, given that the ending of the game shows just about EVERYONE as having been helped, even if you DIDN'T in the last cycle, that means that somehow, helping everyone you can IS possible. There are at least more than two CZcamsrs who have performed this feat, discussed this, and even attempted it. Perhaps this can be canon for your retelling? Portray it as Link being so damn determined to make sure he helps ABSOLUTELY everyone he can before the three days are over, before he confronts Majora once and for all?
Killll! I wish there was a remake
Is there a part 2. I enjoyed this very much
Part 2 should be coming soon. I believe it'll be three parts total.
What mod/version of MM did you use? That hud is obviously different, more different than I'd expect from a 4k upscale or HD texture pack
She streamed and captured it with Retroarch emulator using a 4k texture pack (though I don't remember the name of it)
This is amazing... 😮😎
This seems like it was made for someone who hasnt played the game but is interested in the lore but gotta say as someone who did play it it still kept my attention very well done
Made this comment halfway through. Finished now and going to the second part. The storytelling only got better is all I wanna say.
Thanks for the great video.
I also want to ask. I see the graphics in this video looks very nice, interface is very hight res. How can i play Majora's Mask this way? It is some HD mod?
I believe it was emulated with Retroarch with a 4k texture pack installed.
@@Viryl_TV tty
Tgis is going to be so fun
Hell yeah
I never knew the story of how the mask was carved. How tragic.
Wow I got recommended just channel and not only that this is my favorite Zelda game so I subscribe that's crazy my favorite Zelda game and I got recommended this video and I really like this video
OH BABY WE BACK!
Honestly think the remastered version of the Majora video is much better. Remastering a bunch of the old videos is going to be fun.
*Edited to clarify I meant the remaster of the video, not the game
No the hell it’s not, they butchered the Deku’s spinning momentum across water along with the Zora’s swimming. I prefer the HD texture that someone released like 3 years ago than Nintendo’s actual remaster.
@@ishmaelottmam I have a modded 3ds and I played a mod that fixed the remastered’s issues. It’s too bad that to get the best experience I had to use a mod on a jailbroken 3ds. SMH
@@ishmaelottmam I meant the remastered version of this lore vid. I've only played the OG 64 version so I have no idea which version of the game is better.
@@Viryl_TVoh shit my bad man, i thought you were talking about the 3D remake and i got PTSD flashbacks lol but I believe she’s using the HD texture pack i mentioned. You can search it up o CZcams, the creator put allot of love into the new texture designs.
Yea the remaster is terrible. They took a dark and meaningful game and dumbed it down to cater to children
I know from a Q&A (I think?) some stuff happened behind the scenes of those original videos and I am truly sorry to hear about it, but would it be possible for you to make those videos available through link only and put it in the description or a pinned comment? That way people looking for the old ones can still find them. I understand it is a sore spot and if it's something you really don't wanna do, but I really enjoyed the previous version and figured I should at least try and ask. Zero hard feelings if you don't feel comfortable doing that and I will still support and watch this new version!
Majora's Mask is definitely an underrated game, mostly due to how slow its beginning is and how it timegates everything, to the point where a lot of people with no patience just say its a bad game and move on, but the game was mostly a product of its time with rushed development, so it couldn't be expected that they would have made it better than what it is, and even with the 3DS remake they had limitations due to the fact that they couldn't drive too far away from it, because at that point it wouldn't have been a proper remake, but more of a reimagination of the game and I am disappointed that Nintendo didn't do something like that, because after seeing the Final Fantasy VII remake I can't wait till that one is done with the 3 parts, because they did a lot for the game such as expanding the lore, and making many moments much more memorable than how they had been on the PS1 original, as the reimagination of that game even brought back a fan favorite character Zack and that sort of stuff is awesome, and with Majoras Mask it felt like they just "fixed" a couple of things and called it a day, when they could have done all the stuff that they hadn't had time for in its original development, which is why that remake will always be wasted potential to me.
Encounters crying Goron child:
*Takes a couple sword swipes*
She just like me frfr 😂😂😂
Will def listen to the entire series again. Glad some voice acting (no need to name whom) is gone cause it was so distracting.
I’m ashamed to say I didn’t notice until halfway through this that they weren’t in here. Now, I appreciate the VA’s efforts, and their confidence in doing it is great as I would never have the courage to do so, but yes, it was distracting.
Watching this after watching the alan wake 2 videos. This is the OG time loop (spiral) game
best video game ever, story-wise
I wonder, dear. Would you be able to tell us up front how many parts a given series will be (part 1 of 3, etc.)? Geeks like me like to listen to the whole thing at work in one go.
I love your videos very much, so it's just a little thing. 😊
Absolutely! This will be a 3 part series. In the future, I'll do my best to put "Finale" in the thumbnail or title for folks that like to binge watch.
Thank you, and thanks again for your videos. 😊
I like to think the place Majora was eventually became the place where the Interlopers from Twilight Princess were originally sent. Hence the similarities in art design between Twili and Majora's Mask. Its a flimsy theory but I like the connective tissue!
"Want to play.... a Game?" Recreated. Thank you!
Valeu!
Thank YOU for such generosity!
see me, i think people over complicate some things. i dont totally think that termina is another realm. if it is made, i think it still exists in the same world as hyrule like another continent. and i dont think any of the people have more than an occasional passing resemblance to the hyrule people outside of the mask salesmen. think about it, link doesnt have any reaction to anyone else but the masked salesmen, which link, the salesmen, and epona if you count her, are the only confirmed intended people to be from hyrule with hints of skull kod being from there too from the beginning, where as it is stated that the decision to use other characters was just to save time, although ill admit that i dont take that as 100% confirmation that they DONT look identical to the hyrulians link met, i dont think theirs 100% confirmation for either side as a matter of fact. i just think with imperical evidence outside of visuals, which cant be helped, that they are not lore wise the same people. nd come the remaster, i dont think the people would change the people even if they knew they were meant to look different originally, nor should they have, and as we all know. they didnt.
but i dunno, i dont see a lot to provide they are copies lore wise of people link knew. and i think majora in some other form or with another host was the imp the giants befriended, not skull kid. i think skull kid just befriened the fairies after feeling outcasted from hyrule for whatever reason... k guess hes just a sore loser of his and links music duel, and kinda like an eddie brock and venom situation, majora uses this slight simulator of feeling to get skull kid to wear it.
You make me remember vortexxygaming... You better not stop... It's beautiful ❤
23:20 its not bullshit or something strange there Link resetet the after he entered termina in the POV of the happy mask salesman he gave him the promise to help him back to his human form around 20 seconds ago. there is nothing absurdly strange there it was even in links memory after him playing the Hymn of Time that moment going through the door is the exact point link chose to reset time and making a timestamp to mark all his items EXEPT those quest items, arrows and rubies why? Cuz if he marks the arrows he cant find them again and gonna loose his infinite supply of those objects btw is u try to find the dungeon items again their gone cuz it’s already with link jumping trough time and because only one of the exact same item can exist at the time the chests are empty same rule counts for masks. Also big examples for Markings with timestamps by the ocarina are the The 3 big masks especially Mikaos cuz after healing his soul link builds a grave and if u reset time the grave is there since day one no matter whenn you find mikao because then its a canon event and gonna be timestamped to obtain the 3rd big mask from the beginning. Links i not traveling through time he is Jumping and the Items can jump with him without creating a new timeline through duplicating and bring a object from another timeline into the main timeline.
Asking what the differences are between this and the original video, as I did not like the take on the Happy Mask sales-man (imo, the game presented him as more nuanced than you did).
This somewhat sounds like a story that I heard in elementary school
Happy Mask Salesman indeed, Crazy Mask Salesman is more accurate.
HMS is paranatural entity????
What it means?
CZcams really pushed this one early.
Let's goooooooooo ❤🎉
34:47 sus
Was this sped up?
Why did you rerelease this video? 🙁
While the overall quality is greater, I'd say the loss of the salesmans voice over, and that back and forth he brought to the telling of this story is definitely felt.
Didn’t make a video like this a while ago? Duplication????
Remastered version of it 👌
I miss the Happy Mask Salesmask voice
Me too bud...me to.
"In-game legends state that the land was created by the Four Giants. In the official Hyrule Encyclopedia, it is stated that Termina is nothing more than a figment of the Skull Kid's imagination brought to life by the mask, and that once the mask was defeated and Link left, Termina ceased to exist."
and people have pointed out the writers an publisher of the encyclopedia have made multiple errors that contradict facts which are laid out in the game's themselves etc so in short its a giant mess lmao so i'd take what the encyclopedia says with a grain of salt the source material is still your most trustworthy source but also idk if people remember but guide books for those game's also mention tid bits an flavor text an those are sanctioned by nintendo as well but again take everything not published by nintendo itself with grains of salt lol
and if you honestly need to fill in any gaps for whatever reason try doing all the sidequests, and talking to npcs their texts when deciphered will lead you to a conclusion as this is the developers' own words afterall an not just some random publisher etc
Comment for algorithm.
Didn't you do this already???
She's remastering this series. It's now harder, better, faster, stronger 👌
Ever get that feeling of deja'vu?
Oooohhhh
What a tragedy, I really liked the voice overs, the few in between lines from the salesman…kind of a loss.
