Mr. N64's Summary of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask's Story and Play Mechanics

Story:
This is the first Zelda game in a while with no mention of the Triforce or Ganon. This chapter in the series has a young Link out to save a parallel dimension from a falling moon by retrieving the Majora's Mask. While not as compelling as the classic fare, it gets the job done and moves the gameplay along pretty well. Some of the side-story dialog is unfortunately childish though.
