Majora's Mask does contain murder, blood, genocide, and racism.
In cartoonish ways. It's not as if you actually get to see masses of ripped apart bodies and shit. Or walk through a race-riot. Or watch a friend get his throat slit in front of his children. When people/monsters get hurt they flash different colors and explode into sparkles. The genocide you talk about is a cartoon moon with a face hitting a town. Dark stuff is mostly implied rather than shown in graphic detail. Tonally, these things are nothing alike.
The only thing I said was that these games have different tones. The majority of Majora's Mask (hahaha) is still rather light and kiddy. From the music and design to the characters and themes. Dragon Age and the Witcher are rated mature games and are tonally different from Zelda titles.

And that's definitely a valid comparison! Nice job! 👆
Playing a game from a child's perspective does tend to add a childlike air to things though. Link being a child wasn't the only thing I mentioned, however.

Nothing I've said has been derogatory. Being childish is not a mark against the work. I simply personally find more mature storyline's to be superior experiences. Maturity alone is not an inherent mark of quality, obviously. Faux-maturity is awful. Just throwing blood and **** everywhere or making pseudo-intellectual monologues about inane bs isn't actually mature writing. But in general I would say that two stories that are equally well told where one is simplistic and childish and the other is mature and complex, then I'd prefer the latter. I watch a lot of cartoons and animated movies, so obviously I have nothing against children's media. I can like childish, immature stuff. But the cartoons I think are superior works are those that touch upon more mature subjects in meaningful ways. I'm simply an adult and thus I'm more interested in stories about politics and psychology and sex and human nature and shit like that. Those kinds of things just strike me as more complex, deep and interesting story elements than you'd (explicitly) find in less mature content. I already acknowledged that this is just my perspective and it's up to personal taste.
If it helps, I do think that the Witcher and Dragon Age are "objectively" better told games with superior storylines. Better stories, better characters, better themes, more interesting settings. Just like I said at the start.
