Where to play

Choose a copy you already own, Majora's Mask 3D on a 3DS, and the N64 version inside Nintendo Switch Online with the Expansion Pack. The PC port page explains 2ship2harkinian and stops at the requirement that you dump your own ROM. This site does not host the game.

What the clock does

Termina runs for 72 in-game hours, about 54 real minutes, across three days. The Song of Time returns you to dawn of the First Day. Masks, songs, boss remains, heart containers, and the Bombers' Notebook stay with you. Nintendo's own UK page describes Link struggling against time to unravel the mystery of Majora's Mask, a few months after Ocarina of Time. Nintendo’s product description puts the journey a few months after Ocarina of Time.

Questions

How long is a cycle?

72 in-game hours, about 54 real minutes. The Inverted Song of Time slows that clock. See the timeline page for the sourced numbers.

Which version should I play?

A first playthrough is easier on Majora's Mask 3D. The N64 original, including Switch Online, is the version speedrunners and the 2000 text refer to. The comparison page holds the table.

Is a Switch 2 remake announced?

No. As of 11 November 2026 Nintendo has not announced one. The remake page separates the 2015 3DS game, the 2026 Ocarina of Time remake, and a datamine.
