The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, one of the greatest Nintendo 64 games ever, is coming to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack next month.

For those unfamiliar, Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack is an upgraded package of the Nintendo Switch Online service with expanded benefits such as the inclusion of Nintendo 64 and SEGA Genesis games. At launch, a total of nine N64 games were made available, but Nintendo is slowly adding to the library each month.

Today, Banjo-Kazooie — the magical adventure from 1998 — came to Nintendo Switch Online. And next month, we can look forward to The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask.

Majora’s Mask is the six main installment in The Legend of Zelda series, first released for the Nintendo 64 in 2000. It was later re-released for the GameCube in 2003 as part of The Legend of Zelda; Collector’s Edition and then again in 2009 and 2016 for the Wii and Wii U’s Virtual Consoles.

So while there’s been plenty of opportunity to experience this time-twisting classic over the years, the Nintendo Switch will now be the most convenient place for you to play this game if you haven’t owned one of the previous Nintendo consoles.

Majora’s Mask takes place two months after the events of Ocarina of Time with Link ending up in Termina, a world parallel to Hyrule. With looming threat of the moon crashing down and destroying Termina and everyone in it, Link has just three days to save the world.

The twist comes in with the game’s three-day cycle. By playing the Song of Time on the Ocarina of Time, Link is able to return to the morning of the first day, essentially resetting the cycle but maintaining any major milestones such as maps, masks, music and weapons collected. However, any puzzles cleared, keys or minor items obtain, and any rupees not in the bank are lost. So, it’s sort of like a lite rogue-like.

In any case, if you’re interested in experience The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, it will come to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack
