What is the most mysterious video game you have ever played? The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask is by far the darkest entry in the series (Beast). Majora’s Mask, the mysterious pastime that gave its creators nightmares, is not only one of the best participants in the Legend of Zelda series, but also one of the top games of all time. Even though it had a slow start, because Nintendo’s rival released the PlayStation 2, a few days after Majora’s Mask was released, in spite of this, it still claimed its spot as one of the greatest technological amusements of all time (Luckerson).

The most useful way that Link can use the Ocarina of Time is to slow time down, which doubles those precious 54 minutes into 108 stress-free minutes. In addition to this, Link can use his Ocarina is to travel back to the dawn of the first day of the story. This allows him another three days to try to save the world again. Most people who had complaints toward Majora’s Mask were specifically unhappy about the time limit. For this reason, they complained

There have been lots and lots of objects symbolizing the clock, for example blood spattered on the yellow smile badge, and every time they appeared I have been always wondering and anticipating about what would happen when the clock strikes twelve. I believe it must have been a question that got stuck in all the readers who have read this book. The result was certainly much more impactful and powerful than I ever imagined. All the people indifferently killed and laying on the street and the heroes were defeated by a single man who was believed to be their colleagues. It was enough to intensify the ending of the story and continuously engage me into

In Spirited Away, Hayao Miyazaki introduces a young girl named Chihiro. She’s brought into the Spirit World through the curiosity and greediness of her parents. Miyazaki makes her life problematic because of the simple nature of humans. He realizes that the different negative characteristics that humans have within them lead them to trouble, even children. He claims that “I 'm not going to make movies that tell children, "You should despair and run away".” (Hayao Miyazaki Quotes) With this in mind, Miyazaki attempts to show children that they’re capable of overcoming problems even at the young age that they’re at. Within the spirit world, the apparitions have negative plans for humans, specifically for the future of Chihiro. As if it wasn’t enough for him to put the young girl in a setting with Spirits/Ghosts, he makes it so that these apparitions have negative plans in mind for the humans that they come in contact with. Miyazaki does this in order to put Chihiro in a situation that the audience would see as extremely difficult.

Regardless of devise, time can’t be managed. It passes. That’s it.” (Pamela Dodd). How convenience for many of us would be, if instead of one day having 24 hours it would at least be 32 hours? Sometimes I think to myself 24 hours in one day are not enough to accomplish all my needs. Being in the United States Army for almost two years have taught me how to be discipline mentally and physically tough but at the same time I still can’t manage my time. Having two jobs as a civilian, full time student in college and being in a relationship with a single mother. So, when I decided to take this huge step I thought that by going thru a vigorous training, I was going to be able to have enough discipline to introduce time management into my life. It is very
