The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask is a direct sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, which has been available to play through the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack since the service launched. Fans have known for quite some time that The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask was coming to the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack, but now they know the exact date that the game will be available to play.

Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack subscribers can start playing The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask on Friday, February 25. Like other Switch Online Expansion Pack games, Majora’s Mask will include some modern conveniences like save states. Nintendo released a new trailer to commemorate the occasion, showing various gameplay clips from Majora’s Mask.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask is one of the most popular Nintendo 64 games ever made, and so its addition to the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack should give the service a lot more value. As some may recall, many were quick to criticize the Switch Online Expansion Pack’s price, feeling like the content it offered did not justify its $50 per year asking price.
Nintendo has since attempted to sweeten the pot when it comes to the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack to make the deal more appealing to Switch gamers. Besides giving away Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis games, the Switch Online Expansion Pack also gives subscribers free access to the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Happy Home Paradise DLC as well as the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass, which is adding a whopping 48 new tracks to the game between March 2022 and the end of 2023.
In the meantime, there should be many other Nintendo 64 games coming to the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack in the near future. Promised titles that still have yet to be added include F-Zero X, Mario Golf, Pokemon Snap, and others.
