Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D 4K Texture Pack 2.1.0 Update
🕑 Added 2024-09-01 16:00:04 +0000 UTCGood evening! 🌅
Since the last update back in January, I've been working on the next major overhaul to the pack. The last version, 2.0, was without question the most comprehensive update to the pack... until today! Because today marks the release of yet another major update to the Majora's Mask 3D 4K texture pack project: version 2.1.
Yes, that's right. 2.1 is actually larger than 2.0, at least if you count by the amount of changes made. 2.1 has too many change to count, but I will do my best to summarize the most important ones here in this post!
320+ New Textures!
A very large amount of textures have been remade, altered and even removed this time around to ensure that every single texture lives up to the quality standards I'm striving towards.
This update includes over 320 new 4K textures, which have been remade from the ground up for this version. This includes environment textures such as the ground, walls, stone tiles and bricks, dirt paths, rocks, wooden panels, posters and signs, carpets, doors, vines, flowers, stairs, couches and chairs and so much more.
It also includes many new interior textures, completely overhauling several locations, particularly in and around Clock Town, Termina Field and The Great Bay. As part of my overarching goal to improve quality and consistency in all my texture packs, I took this update as an opportunity to remake many of the in-game textures to look cleaner and more consistent with the original art style. One notable change is that most character textures have been either remade or drastically improved this version, and now fit the rest of the aestethic much better.
Other changes include improved textures for Link and his various forms. The tunic is now a bit darker, to match the original version's mood a little bit better, and his belts and buckles now match those found in my Ocarina of Time pack. There is now also a HD version of the Mirror Shield, which was way overdue for an upgrade.
There are tons of miscellaneous textures as well that have been completely remade, such as the Mask Salesman's backpack and various masks, clovers, deku sticks, several parts of the UI (including new fancier looking decorations above the in-game clock), stained glass windows, the sun itself and many more. Like previous updates, it helps it all comes together really nicely and makes the whole pack feel a lot more polished and complete. The details all add up!
(Please keep in mind that several textures have been temporarily removed from the pack in this version, due to some of these textures not meeting the new higher quality standards after reviewing each texture manually one by one. These textures will be remade from the ground up and re-added in future versions, do not worry! I believe these changes will lead to an overall much more consistent and improved experience using the pack overall, since each new texture you see will look much better)
Finally: Support for German language!
As you may know, I'm working to add support for all in-game languages to my packs, starting with English and then working my way through other popular languages. First in turn for this pack is German, which is now fully supported starting from this version onward! Everything in menus, in-game text, button prompts and location names have been translated, and should work without issues. However, if there are any mistakes or errors regarding the translation, please let me know! Vielen Dank!
Improved Japanese translation textures thanks to work by Tomoki Sato ("LINK")
Tomoki Sato (a user who also goes by the name "LINK") has generously been helping with translating most of the UI textures of this texture pack, as well as the OOT3D 4K texture pack, over to Japanese! Another batch covering some of the textures has been added in this update, with more getting included in future releases. Please follow them on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/LINK_genkaiya
And many bugs fixes, optimizations and minor changes...
Several issues from the previous version has been fixed, such as a crashing issue which sometimes occured in the Pirates' Fortress and the Deku Temple. Performance has also been marginally improved due to the previously described optimizations, although keep in mind that Vulkan support in emulators is still not perfect and bugs may occur that did not occur in OpenGL in previous versions. Please report any potential texture mistakes, translation errors or bugs you might experience!
That's mostly it for this update. Enjoy!
The update is available to all you Patrons here, with a public release as soon as the next texture pack update releases (usually this is after 1 month, but it might take a bit longer if the upcoming update is large!)
There is also a 4K version available, if your computer can handle it! The 4K version includes higher quality textures than the 1080p version, and will work on all displays- even those that don't display in 4K resolution. It will still look better than the 1080p version, no matter the display!
Please feel free to try it out!
(Only compatible through emulation, the texture pack does not work on real consoles).
How to enable MXAO (ambient occlusion) & DoF (Depth of Field):
This means you can now experience glorious self shadowing around objects, which looks really great with MM 3D's fantasy art style. Try it out by doing the following:
* Set your game view to "Single" in the emulator.
* Enter fullscreen in the emulator.
* Press the "8" key on your keyboard, this will bring up the ReShade UI.
* Check the "MXAO" box in the list of effects, if it's not already checked. The same can be done with the "ADOF" effect, if you want depth of field (might have some issues with masking around UI elements and whatnot, but feel free to give it a try!)
* Go to the "Add-ons" tab in ReShade and check the box next to the depth buffer in the list with the highest value (it should be a very high number while all others are 0, if there's only one in the list, check that one!). This number will change constantly, but don't worry, it's supposed to do that!
* You're done. Enjoy!

I am only able to make things like this thanks to your support, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me do what I love!

It fully supports project restoration, and it partially supports portuguese (some UI will not display with HD textures when portuguese is used as I have not yet created portuguese translated textures, so I recommend playing in English if possible)
Crasher
Does it have support for the restoration project? And does it also have support for Portuguese (BR)?
Ryan Colon
Disregard last
Henriko Magnifico
Its absolutely possible! And yes I've made a mod you can download for free from here; https://github.com/TexturesGuide/MM-Re-Orchestrated-Soundtrack/wiki/MM-Re%E2%80%90Orchestrated-Soundtrack-1.5.0a
Ruby Crimber
Oh, hello! I wonder if there is a way to use your Re-Orchestrated music version in real game. Is there a mod or something?
thomas
The custom textures are named differently :(
Nik Fauzie
Hey, I have a problem where my fast travel map is in German language while using your 4k texture pack. How do I fix this problem? Edit: Im currently using android and citra mmj
Lillian Marie Burch-Moore
Not sure if anyone mentioned it, but the map textures in Pirate's Fortress are completely garbled and display the wrong ones.
Nik Fauzie
can android/ios use this texture pack?
Captain Queef
Why is my fast travel map in German? It's the only place I've seen German so far. I only have hd hud, this texture pack, and project restoration installed. I was also wondering if the reshade works on steam deck I am completely inept when it comes to Linux lol
Henriko Magnifico
Check that your graphics backend is set to Vulkan in the graphics settings and that any upscale filters are set to "None"
kye
theres a glitch where all items have a black box covering them any way to fix?
Austin Duncan
i cant seem to get mxao working properly for some reason it is sideways
Henriko Magnifico
I'm so sorry for the super late response! It's definitely possible to convert old textures to the new format, however doing it automatically requires a full re-dump of the game's textures, which in turn requires a full 100% playthrough of the game with texture dumping enabled (or alternatively, you can manually convert textures to the new format by just dumping the textures you need from a save file where you can view the textures you need). Both methods are quite time consuming unfortunately, hence why porting textures to the new format isn't that common. I can go into more detail in private messages if you'd like to give it a go yourself! I will be making textures for Fierce Deity as well eventually, but it's still some ways off, sorry!
bfunky
Hello, is it possible that some files are missing ? I can't find find the citra app and all the files that are usually used to lauch the game previously. Thanks for your help!
Mom Bon
:(
Henriko Magnifico
Technically its possible, but it would probably require some work for them to be compatible, since my pack uses the latest texture pack format and as far as I know no other texture packs do yet. So you would need to manually replace textures one by one most likely, which would take a while. But its definitely possible!
Rene' O'quin
What would happen if you mix texture packs? Like mixing in a few textures from an old version into this one and playing that way. Would it still work correctly?
Navarro Family
For some reason, it's only downloading the 1080p version. I'm trying to get 4k version 2.1
Malo Rassemusse
i have the same problem pls i don't understand
Arturo Aguirre
Thanks, mate. Such good quality.
Malik Hartman
Im a fool
Malik Hartman
How do you apply this pack In this version? I'm using a setup guide though its of an older version and after downloading the files myself it looks completely different, any help would be appreciated
Albert Aboaf
Is there a mod for the reorchestrated OST?
Assil Boulehmi
why does it only have textures for the american version ?
mangosweet7
Bro thanks for this, I could use this for other games too like twilight princess that’s awesome thanks dude
Henriko Magnifico
No, the 3DS versions cannot run at 60 fps natively. The only way to get 60 fps with my textures is to use a program such as Lossless Scaling to interpolated frames to reach 60 fps.
mangosweet7
Does it run at 60fps with this hd texture pack?
Kirby Carden
Wow!
Bader games
tank you

thank you!

Helix Neviko
Thank you so much for all your hard work! This is my favorite game, so I really appreciate the effort you put into making this wonderful experience.
Nikkibobby
What makes your texture upgrades so great is that it feels like this was something Nintendo made. It isn’t a different version of the graphics. It has the heart and soul of Nintendo.
Wi-Andre Wilhelm
Im kinda confused, Im using a download guide thats using a older version. In the guide im supposed to use the citra emulator thats inside the folder but none of the files in his folder are in mine. I did extract all of the files in the folder but i still cant find it. PLS HELP
Andrés Carranza Castro
Hello, thank you very much for answering my question, I appreciate it very much, I read the installation guide however I could not find the files that you named such as: ("UI", "MAPS", "CHARACTERS", etc.) but I think it should be a problem with my file since the texture images as such are not there, maybe it is a compatibility problem or something similar, because I saw the tutorial on your channel and the folders and files were different. I will stop trying to install the textures because I tried many times and it did not work for me, anyway thank you very much for answering my question, and also I think that the textures look very good but it is a shame that I can not install them. thank you very much
Henriko Magnifico
Hello Andrés! Have you tried following the setup guide? https://github.com/TexturesGuide/MM3D_4K_SetupGuide/wiki/Setup-Guide-&-F.A.Q
Mom Bon
👀
Andrés Carranza Castro
In fact I had already installed the textures before some time ago but now it seems to me that it is different because the files are very different and I cannot find the textures as such.
Andrés Carranza Castro
Brother, I tried to install the textures many times but I just can't. The files I downloaded from version 2.0 and 2.1 just don't seem to contain the textures, just other images that I don't understand what they're for. I tried a lot of tutorials on YouTube, including your own video, but I couldn't install it.
Henriko Magnifico
Thank you! The link is near the bottom of the post!
Malik Cistrunk
i just became a patron. Love your work, Henriko! Maybe a silly question but where is the download link?
Mom Bon
Hi hi, I appreciate your work on this texture pack! Although I do have a question that was discussed in another comment. As of update 2.0 you are now using a new texture format. And in order to change textures we just rename the texture with the new format. But what about textures you don't have yet? An example would be Rixter's Hero's Shade over Fierce Deity. In your texture pack you don't have all the Fierce Deity files with your new reformat, you only have a few in Links folder. How would I reformat the textures to work with yours? It would be nice to have an easier way to use other texture packs with yours because of issues like this.
Henriko Magnifico
Since 2.0 the texture pack uses the new texture format, which has different naming for all the textures compared to previous versions. It's possible to convert textures from the old format to the new manually however by just renaming the files, and they should become compatible. If it's only a couple textures in the mod you want to add, converting it by just renaming the textures to the new names should do the trick!
Sprite
Oh and great texture pack!
Sprite
No problem, thanks for the info!
Henriko Magnifico
This seems to be an issue with AMD gpus and Reshade in recent version. I'm not aware of any way to fix it currently, so in the meanwhile I recommend not using Reshade until it's been fixed. Sorry!
Henriko Magnifico
The textbox should still be in HD, as well as all the in-game messages. Only parts of the UI which uses language specific textures will not be in HD unless its in English or German in the current version.
Eric Beaver
Hi, no sadly i didn't. Was hoping for an answer from the creator but no solution yet
Álvaro
Wait so what happens if I play in Spanish? Will just the textbox be in old textures or would it affect something more?
Aaron Kirby
Hello, did you ever perchance find a way around this? I have a skin for Link I'd love to use but don't really know how to replace them over the 4K Link textures. Thank you!
Sprite
Hi so im using lime as my emulator and the textures work fine but when i install reshade the game will not load and the emulator freezes, is there a fix to this? i have a amd card and i chose vulkan
Ray Danger
Thanks for all you do!
Eric Beaver
Hi. i realized that the names of the files for example: the Link textures, are not the same ones as from the earlier version. which means: i cant replace them cuz they have a different file name which also means that i have two of the same textures but with different names. was there something i missed? thx for the reply. In general tho: amazing work! these are great and beautiful textures all around!
Henriko Magnifico
It is! The download is now located in the instructions on github
Darko
is the reorchestrated soundtrack addon still available?
Miguel Soares
I don't know how to send screenshots through PMs, but the room I'm talking about is the room where you fight Gecko in the Woodfall Temple. Most of the floor is the 4k textures, but a triangle almost in the middle of the floor is using the normal textures, and also the floor directly in front of the boss key mini room.
Henriko Magnifico
Some textures are not re-textured yet, mostly inside of dungeons and special interiors. Please send me some screenshots in a private message so I can verify if this is the case, or if it's a bug!
Miguel Soares
I don't know if this was something I did wrong or if it's because of the temporarily removed textures you mention, but some of the textures in the woodfall temple and in the swamp in general are not loading properly. For example, in the miniboss room the ground has the 4k textures mostly, but on a triangle in the middle of the floor it goes back to the original game textures.
Henriko Magnifico
3DS version only!
Henriko Magnifico
This would not really be possible using just texture replacement, but it is probably possible with a mod of some kind. I'm not skilled enough in mod making to make it myself, but someone else might be able to do it!
plinker
is this texture pack only for the n64 version or can it be used on the 3ds version of the game to
Jorge
This looks beautiful

Think there will ever be a way to restore something like the original day timer. Always thought it was weird they changed it like they did
