A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I don't think it's intended to be played without that tip. It is technically possible to miss, but you're very likely to learn about that before the game even tells you how to save...

(Mind you, I've only played the N64 version. They might have changed things in a re-release.)

Majora's Mask (how that tip is usually learned)

The game offers to tell you about that any time you talk to the scarecrow, which people usually do on the way to the observatory for the first time.

The trickier bit is that they tell you about it before you're capable of using songs, so you have to remember that you can actually use it once it's possible to do.
