“The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask” (ゼルダの伝説 ムジュラの仮面), Ultra‑Rare Original Japanese Retail Shop Poster 2000, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) O41

What this is
An original Japanese in‑store advance (“shop”) poster produced by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64 launch of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask in Japan. Printed for retailers only (not sold to the public), it announces the street date 4月27日(木)発売 — April 27, 2000 and includes the hardware note that the game requires the Memory Expansion Pak (ハイレゾパック).

About the game
Majora’s Mask is the darker, time‑loop sequel to Ocarina of Time—a landmark entry in the Zelda series that has become one of the most acclaimed and collectible titles on the N64.

Poster design
A dramatic Skull Kid silhouette dances before a huge yellow moon while Link, outlined in eerie red, advances through Termina’s nightscape with his fairy companion. The bold bilingual logos—Nintendo / NINTENDO64—frame the composition, with the magenta THE LEGEND OF ZELDA title and the Japanese logo 「ゼルダの伝説 ムジュラの仮面」 across the center. The vertical copy reads: 「こんどのゼルダは こわさがある。」 (“This time, Zelda is scary.”)
