The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is an action-adventure game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64. It was released in 2000 as the sixth main installment in The Legend of Zelda series and was the second to use 3D graphics, following 1998's The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, to which it is a direct sequel. Designed by a creative team led by Eiji Aonuma, Yoshiaki Koizumi, and Shigeru Miyamoto, Majora's Mask was completed in less than two years. It featured enhanced graphics and several gameplay changes from its predecessor, though it reused a number of elements and character models, which the game's creators called a creative decision made necessary by time constraints.

I’m in two minds about her and Martin because I think that they are quite a good couple but they can’t just keep breaking up and getting back together, I think they are better apart though at this point. I also think that Ruby and Martin are well suited as a couple. I’d love for her to find out about the way Ben treated Martin. I would kind of like a Ruby and Stacey feud but again I’m in two minds.

An historic pub is counting the cost after being hit by floods as warnings have been issued around Wales.

The Ty'n y Cornel Hotel, by Tal-y-llyn lake in Gwynedd, has suffered regular flooding in recent years.

A hotel spokesman said water had entered the garages at the building, adding: "The flood water is up to my knees in the road. It's flooded all the garages but not the main building."

Ten flood alerts have been issued around Wales.

"The lake does flood a few times but we didn't expect it today," the spokesman said.

"It's the people who sometimes try to drive through that's the problem and the aftermath of the drivers going through.

He claimed lorries were the worst, saying: "They just think it's fine to drive through, the bell wave goes half way up the building."

Liverpool will not give Premier League appearances like "Christmas presents" to young players despite having already won the title, says boss Jurgen Klopp.

Klopp's side were thrashed 4-0 by Manchester City on Thursday in their first game since securing their first top-flight title in 30 years.

The Reds have no cup ties and only six league games left to play this season.

"The youngsters are really close, but we won't give them Premier League matches just for fun," said Klopp.

Harvey Elliott, 17, and 19-year-olds Neco Williams and Curtis Jones have all been in the matchday squad for both of Liverpool's last two games.

"We want to win football games and to win football games the best players have to be on the pitch," said Klopp.
