It always seems that everyone treats Majora's Mask like the unwanted stepchild of the Zelda series.
THEY'RE DUMB AND WRONG AND MAJORA'S MASK IS FRIKKIN AWESOME
The world, the music, it's all come back to me, and it's all fantastic. THIS WAS MY CHILDHOOD.
While the storyline doesn't have the epic scope of Ocarina of Time, it does have more replay value (you can redo dungeons and quests without restarting the whole game, due to the time travel mechanic) and it has a lot of gameplay improvements. You also feel more personally attached to the NPCs since most of them have names and lives that they go about. It always broke my heart that you couldn't solve everyone's problems in one three-day span- but I'd like to think that when you beat Majora, all your alternate timelines collapse into one and you've saved everyone.
So yeah, if you have a Wii, go spend the ten dollars to get the re-release. It was worth $60 when I was a kid and it's certainly worth $10 to play it again.
