Is it still worth playing?

Nintendo's 2000 Zelda for the Nintendo 64, which needs the 4 MB Expansion Pak. Link arrives in Termina and has three days to stop a moon from crashing into the world. The days last about 54 minutes of real time, and the Song of Time sends Link back to the first morning, though rupees must be banked first or they are lost. There are 24 masks, and three of them turn Link into a Deku Scrub, a Goron or a Zora. The Bombers' Notebook tracks 20 characters who need help, and their moods shift across the three days. The three day cycle keeps it worth playing today: you plan your days around what people need, and the world changes with the clock, with the music growing more menacing toward the end.
