The best adventure games like The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask are Ocarina of Time, Outer Wilds and Deathloop. Below are 9, each with the reason it is here — and, at the end, what filtering to adventure costs you.
Filtering to adventure means the place and the story are what you want back, not the challenge. It is the right filter when the thing you remember is where you were rather than what you did.
What you get: A world with a reason to wander it, and writing that survives being read rather than skipped.
What made The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask worth playing in the first place is covered on the full list. This page is the adventure part of that answer, and only the adventure part.
The game it reuses and reacts against — play it first.
The other great time-loop game, and the best of them. Play it knowing nothing.
A loop where knowledge is the only progression, in a shooter.

Time loop as a domestic thriller, small and tense.
For the same willingness to be genuinely unsettling.
If you want more 2D Zelda after it.
A world frozen in time that you unpick by observation.

The full list is on games like The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask — 9 picks, no genre filter.

No. The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask released on the Nintendo 64, but a recommendation is only useful if you can play it, so the picks above span platforms and eras. What they share is the genre and the reason.
Anywhere the story and the place matter more than the skill ceiling — point-and-click, walking sims, narrative thrillers and most open worlds. The label alone tells you very little, which is why each pick here says what it actually is.
They split hard. Open-world adventures run to a hundred hours; the narrative ones are often finishable in an evening, and the short ones are usually the better written.
By hand. Each pick was written for the full The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask list first, on what the game actually does, and this page is the part of that list that is adventure — never a genre tag lookup, which is how "best racing games like Super Mario 64" used to be a page on this site.
