The day Nelke is set to graduate the academy, however, her life changes forever as she hears a rumor that the tree can be found within her father’s lands near the small village of Westwald. Her father grants her permission to search for it on one condition – that she becomes governor of the area and develops Westwald into a prosperous city.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D – $34.99 – 3DS

How does one introduce a game with such enormous influence like The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask? Remembered fondly by an entire generation of gamers as a title that epitomizes gameplay and storytelling innovation, it seemed like Nintendo were simply too scared to touch their beloved masterpiece despite fans’ begging – until now!

What makes Majora’s Mask stand head and shoulders above the competition is the unique nature of the story. The Legend of Zelda series is not exactly known for having dark and haunting themes but Majora’s Mask destroyed the mold, adding incredible depth, not only to the single title, but to the series as a whole.

Relive Link’s epic journey as he was dragged by a masked Skull Kid to the doomed land of Termina where the moon is falling from the sky within 72 hours, threatening to crush the land. Darkness is approaching yet Termina is still lucky to have Link who has the power to reverse time in limitless ways. With the use of more than 20 powerful masks, players can solve elaborate puzzles, conquer dungeons, battle giant bosses, and ultimately save the land from the imminent destruction they are fated to be in. Explore the depths of Termina’s waters as you catch monstrous creatures in the game’s new fishing feature. Be Termina’s ultimate hero and fight difficult boss battles as you go on with your journey.

Enjoy Link’s adventures in a whole new way as the game maximizes the capabilities of handheld consoles featuring the use of touch screen controls, gyroscopic features which detects movement when turning, and enhanced stereoscopic 3D graphics which gives better illusion of depth to players.
