Majora's Mask in the 2020s
I was reminded recently how Majora’s Mask, a game from 2000, is my favorite Zelda story, if not necessarily my favorite Zelda game. Part of this is certainly nostalgia: I have memories trading off at a friend’s house on the road to Snowhead before my parents let us have console games. But there’s more to it than that.

A year and a half ago, I left Apple, which among other things gave me a lot more time for personal projects. In particular, last March I put a tremendous amount of effort into getting Swift running on Mac OS 9. Which made me happy and proud, but which also had an extremely deleterious effect on my body. And I didn’t really get the message, but continued stressing myself into April and May, and as a consequence, I now have chronic RSI: repetitive strain injury.
“Fire!”
Pounding on my door. I was sleeping, dang it. My flatmate H paces up and down the hall, shouting something and banging on my door and S’s. S’s girlfriend C is over too.
I get up and stumble to the door. It’s still nighttime—“What’s going on?”
“There’s a fire next door,” H repeats. “Our neighbors are evacuating.”
