My game won’t save on the N64 and I tried using both save functions

nintendo-64zelda-majoras-mask

(This is before the stone tower btw).

This started two days ago, I beat the stone tower and saved (using both the Song of Time, and saving at the Owl Statue), then the next day I went back to the game and it was just as I didn’t do it in the first place! I tried again last night several time and it still didn’t work. I deleted some of my progress on the other games on the N64. Then I tried again and it still didn’t work. What should I do? Is there a way to fix this? If so how?

When I was trying again I was doing the sound test in the bar and after I got the Mask I saved then reset the game using both save functions

There is a possibility that you need an accessory to assist with this. Being that the console and game are so old, it's likely that the memory is/has deteriorated, causing issues when you save your game.

While it doesn't appear to be an SRAM game, that need a battery replacement, others have suggested a memory expansion for better performance of games such as Majora's Mask.
