i think an aspect of Majora's Mask that people don't praise enough is how it shows off Link's personality
obviously he's still almost entirely a blank slate, but he has tiny little character moments that i think are really effective:

when he meets the Deku princess, she introduces herself as the princess, and Link's immediate reaction is to bow
it gives me the sense that he's very respectful and chivalrous which fits Link perfectly

one more of these "Link is respectful" moments is when Link beats Skull Keeta, and Keeta asks Link to tell his soldiers the war has ended, so that he can rest in peace. then Keeta says "captain, sir! may I take my leave, sir!"

i wanted to continue this thread but it's 1am and i have class at 7:45, so i'll just summarize what i was gonna say: there are also a couple of really goofy moments where you can tell that Link has a sense of fun and knows when not to take things too seriously
