While searching for Navi, Links himself caught in the Skull Kid’s trickery and in Termina. Skull Kid has stolen Majora’s Mask and is causing the moon to crash down on Termina in three days. It’s up to Link to keep repeating the day in a Groundhog’s Day fashion to set things right. The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask is $9.99 on the Nintendo Wii U eShop.

Eventually they realize that demons are wondering and ruining people’s lives again, and Ryu, Nina, and a group of friends set to out set things right. Breath of Fire II is $7.99 on the Nintendo 3DS eShop.
