(I've actually only played through the first bit of Majoras Mask, so I'm not sure if I'll consider it a true sequel to OOT or as it's own thing yet. Also I haven't played A Link Between Worlds at all, so that may be another instance of linking (ha!) two titles.)

Majora's mask is a sequel to ocarina of time that is also it's own thing. It's story does not have anything to do with ocarina of time's story, except for a few things.

It's the same Link in this story. He is walking through the lost woods with epona from oot because he is feeling lost after his big quest and because Navi left him, and he's kinda hoping to find her. (Weird right? I woulda said good HEY. LISTEN. FUCK OFF.) And as he gets his ocarina back he has to recall from his time with Zelda and play the song of time from oot to set things right.

So it is it's own thing in that it is a separate story that is not continuing the threads woven in ocarina of time, but it is also a sequel in that it is about the same character and takes place directly afterward, perhaps even weeks or months after, in the timeline.

Either way, fantastic piece of art that one. I would even consider it tied with oot, possibly surpassing in some aspects even, as the best video game of all time.

It's beautiful, and the story is so creative as you get going.
