I love that this game isn't 'Link's Destiny', it's him taking time to look for a friend and getting caught up in something wild. No prophecy, no Ganondorf, just something he wanted to do.

Links awakening also hits home for that reason. Just trying to get off the fucking island and then not wanting to ruin it all. Love that all the gameboy link is the same as ALTTP link. Like he just decided to get on a boat on go on an adventure. I can’t remember if Phantom Hour Glass or spirit tracks had a similar vibe too.

Can we just take a moment to talk about how ridiculous the smithy is? It's the only structure in the Mountain Village, it's run by Hylians, it's located in an area where the native population generally has no need for weapons, and it's just so far out of the way of any place the average Hylian would even consider visiting. There's absolutely no logical reason why the smithy would be in Snowhead, and yet... that makes it totally on-brand for Majora's Mask.

He might be up there to be closer to his supply of ore, before shipping to the rest of Termina. He might also be considered a master chef to the gorons: In Minish cap we see that Gorons love the taste of steel, after all.

You all make great points! I figured Snowhead was more diversly populated at some point in the past (maybe the distant past) and the forge (needing to be build of heat resistant and generally sturdy materials) was a remnant of that that the Forge Lads occupied because...why build a forge in Clocktown when one is already set up near your supply and fuel. Bonus: It's close enough to other folks for trade...when it isn't unbearably snowy.

The common theory I've seen about Great Bay Temple is it's basically a giant water purifier since, after defeat Gyorg, the water in Great Bay becomes less murky.
@verdantmistral442
@verdantmistral442 Месяц назад
It seems not only that but a temperature regulator. Water becomes foggy when the temperature is not consistent but the Temple is also surrounded by a mist and fog above water making it hard to navigate the area. This could also be explained by inconsistencies in the air and water temperature. The Temple might be creating the fog as a form of exhaust as a result of being corrupted. Woodfall Temple also acts a purifier for the swamp which when corrupted helps poison the swamp, so it's possible the Sea Temple is similarly working in reverse. Instead of helping purify it's helping to corrupt.

Great Bay Temple is more than just a factory; it's a water treatment plant! This is what allows the Zora to live in the sea, and why you need to get the facility up and running again to help them out.

I could be wrong, but i don't think the game was a dream or Link dying. My main reason and a detail thats easy to overlook is the very ending scene of the game, where we see a tree stump with images of Link, the Skull Kid, and the Giants carved into it, implied to have been done by the Skull Kid due to its similarity to the one we see him make with Tatl and Tael in Termina Field in a cutscene. This is after Link has rode away in Majora's Mask and is back in the forest he started in, so back in Hyrule once again. It was a long shot, but I was hoping we might find a lone tree stump with the carvings on it down in the depths of Tears of the Kingdom, or perhaps in another game as an easter egg.

It's what the game is really a metaphor for: how loneliness and depression very isolating and destructive. Link spends the whole game being vulnerable and willing to sacrifice himself and makes many friends along the way. Nearly everyone he meets is unfriendly and aloof, but he is able to touch everyone's hearts regardless. The power of love, friendship is what saves the day. Skullkid ultimately acknowledges this, and when Link offers to be his friend even though he has no real reason to, that's when we understand the ultimate message of the game.

I think that MM is about grief. He starts the game looking for his friend Navi and enters a world tormented by a lonely imp who lost his friends and is throwing the mother of all tantrums about it. It's a game about moving on and not letting grief hold you in place, I think.

The problem with the whole "Link died" theory is that this very same Link is the Hero's Shade in Twilight Princess who is teaching his decendant the ways of the sword. So this Link grows up and has at least one kid. He couldn't have died here as a child.
@Minochu96
@Minochu96 Месяц назад
we can be pretty sure Link doesn't die in Majora's Mask due to 2 things: 1. the same Link from Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask appears in Twilight Princess (the knight who teaches you new moves after howling to the other wolf, it's even been directly confirmed to be the same Link) and 2. what Link lands on, the flower thingy, you can even test it in game, fall from a great height and see if you die and as long as you land on the flower you will be completely unharmed, no damage (try it, if you don't believe me and see for yourself) - even if you don't count the 2nd one, him actually returning and teaching the hero of Twilight is still something he did tho I will agree that the world of Termina is a big mystery in itself but Termina isn't the only strange world we've visited in Zelda, there's also Lorule and the Twilight Realm...if you want to count that, there's also the Dark World

MM is a game that deepen all Links traumas, feelings and regrets during the events in OoT... after all he was just a lonely child that had to live harsh experiences. And at the end, the only ones who where really by his side and knew about his achievementes (Deku Tree, Navi, 7 Sages, Zelda), literally died or "abandoned" him. Both games are pretty sad the more you analyze it :(

To further push that, Kafei is basically living a reverse life from Link. Kafei is an adult who was cursed into child form and Link was a child who briefly became an adult. Kafei has both parents and a love who still accepted him even cursed. Whereas Link is orphaned and if he formed any romantic feelings while an adult, no one but he remembers since Zelda set him back to before their first meeting, seemingly erasing all of Link's journey from that point forward. Heck, Kafei's main enemy is even a thief from a sort of desert.

Another peice of obscure lore: Recently it has come to my attention that the moon seens to have always had a face, but just in a more joyful expression. Notice how no one is suprised by the moons face but rather- by its expression. In the files for majoras mask 3D there are two different moon sprites for the 5 minute count down on day three but one goes unused, a sprite of the moon with a happy face and yellow eyes. This same depiction of the moon can be found in-game as a decoration above the entrance to the Mayor's Residence and atop the back of the chair in his office. It can be seen in both the N64 and 3DS versions.
@verdantmistral442
@verdantmistral442 Месяц назад
Yeah, the Moon Mask also is similar proof. Also the Observatory, the astronomer mentions that Moon Tear's have recently started falling from the Moon's eyes... not that the Moon recently got eyes. It is also possible that the Moon could have more than one expression. I recently got the idea that the Mirror Shield's face is actually supposed to represent the Moon as well. The OoT Mirror Shield originally had a crescent moon on it and like the real life Moon reflects sunlight. And the Stone Tower might also be thought to Sun and Moon imagery when it comes to the faces. The reason for the haunting look of the face on Termina's Mirror Shield could be a depiction of the face of the Moon in regards to the war in Ikana and the building of Stone Tower.

The Stone Tower Temple reminds me of the story of the Tower of Babel from the Bible...a tower in Babylon, meant to artificially reach Heaven. God destroyed it as punishment, and as it collapsed, humanity's different languages were made. The symbolism with Link ascending a tower made by the once strong Ikana kingdom, only to have it defy physics and be flipped upside down for the last climb... The parallels of Heaven, punishment and the afterlife in Ikana couldn't be stronger.

I always thought the inside of the moon is a illussion of Majora shown to the moon to force it to actually crash. I always based it on the assumtion of the moon beeing the deity of Termina plane and the city, since that region hasnt a out right deity. About the whole "dimension" in general, i think its a byproduct of the splitting timeline. The left over of the remaining timeline where ganon or demise didnt even existed in the first place, a world that grew without 3 primal goddess, but many minor gods keeping the regions as their realms.

Considering Terminian characters are familiar with Hyrule, such as the Gorons knowing of Dodongos cavern with tasty rocks inside, I think it's a legitimate place. I've always hated the 5 stages of grief and alternate world theories. The games go out of their way to explain these things if it's actually a plot point, Links Awakening was revealed to be a dream and ALTTP/ALBW both made it clear when alternate worlds were involved. Majoras Mask would have made it clear if it was an alternate or internal dream world.
@6611nitro
@6611nitro Месяц назад
Something to toss in regarding the Moon. I always thought that it was a joint creation of Majora and the other four bosses, though potentially not one they willingly made. The Moon being a highly spiritual place for many cultures but not having a specific god in Termina is probably akin to the Sacred Realm of Ocarina of Time that reflects its residents. In effect you've gathered five gods together outside their collective domains, stripped of the majority of their powers. Four of them are relatively well adjusted having had their freedom until being slain in fair combat so they're playing. One of them is not very well adjusted having existed as a prisoner or tool since the very beginning and when finally freed having thrown an exceptionally dangerous tantrum. Nobody present is under any illusions about Majora but he is still one of them so they're obliged to let him join if he wants. What we're seeing is gods socializing or in the case of Majora failing to socialize, they play like children because effectively thats what they are as what need does a god have of maturity, to them this is a temporary pause between forms. Link being the one to beat them and having chased Majora here is able to interact with them on an equal level and they offer him what gods typically offer mortals, enlightenment and power in return for tribute. If given they make Link think about the world around him prompting him to really consider things then gift him with power nearly on their level to use to stop Majora. As for Majora they are alone and view Link as a bad guy because Majora has never had peers like this before nor the freedom to do as he wants before now. Majora is a god born of morals desires and magic, used as a tool for others, and thus only sees Link as a person trying to enslave it again. That it's actions are going to destroy tons of innocent bystanders isn't something Majora has the context to really grasp. It's playtime and reaction to freedom is so violent because it's never had freedom before but has godlike power. When Link steps in with or without the Fierce Deitys Mask the reaction is aggressive because that's the only way Majora knows how to interact with others. With the Fierce Deity Mask in hand Link takes the roll of a peer and equal imparting discipline, giving Majora a reaction on his level for misbehaving potentially giving him reason to change behavior. Without... well Majora has been a slave before, it's familiar.

I've known this game since it first came out. I have played it many times. Getting to 22:24 in this video is the first time I've noticed it's basically Alice in Wonderland. Child follows strange creature, falls down big hole, lands in alternate world that may or not be real. Even down to the Wizard of Oz approach of 'and you, and you, and *you* were there!' that some adaptations go for (Burton movie, the Whoopi Goldberg movie and the ballet spring to mind).

My theory on the Deku Scrubs from Ocarina of Time is that their culture and kingdom was entirely destroyed during the Hyrulean Civil War. They weren't as favored by the Great Deku Tree as the Kokiri so they became resentful and sided with Ganondorf and Gohma, who they regarded as their Queen. They could have potentially had a royal family in the past that was wiped out during the civil war. So now they have to burrow in grottos or hide in the Sacred Forest Meadow just to survive. The largest cluster of them is in a grotto where they judge Link's masks. When the Forest Temple is cursed, Mad Scrubs are found all over Kokiri Forest until the new Deku Tree casts them out. Business Scrubs live in burrows but some of the reasoning could be because they accidentally spit Deku nuts when they talk, so they are cast out of towns, as said in some games. The ones in Ocarina of Time seeme to be hostile towards Link, and this could be because he is dressed like a Kokiri and fights against Ganondorf's followers. In fact, one Business Scrub lives in a tiny hidden courtyard in Ganon's Castle surrounded but fairies. At least in Ocarina of Time, the Deku race seems to side with the forces against Hyrule and the Deku Tree. I think they once had a kingdom that fell during the civil war and most of them were wiped out, and they found a new Queen in Gohma, who was killing the Deku Tree, so they started worshiping her and eventually Ganondorf when he rose to power.

The hypothesis I've always had about the lost woods & possibly other similarly "wibly wobbly, possibly even timey whimey" areas is that it's an Ygdrassil type entity, I believe this due to the wording of termina being another world or realm could either literally be another world or realm, or it could be used in the Old way of basically just being another region or country alongside hyrule, labrynna & Holudrum also fit into this category and I suppose new hyrule but I don't know enough about that game. It is also my belief that termina is to the west of Hyrule and Ikana canyon being the other end of the Gerudo desert. I also have an idea that Stal' beings originate from a curse of Loss after being told stalchildren come from the lost woods in OoT but then having sentient skeleton characters in termina Holudrum and labrynna while not having connections directly to the lost woods pretty much all have a connection to loss in their living life

My own head cannon is that Termina is another land or kingdom within the same world as Hyrule. Just one that some how has a portal in the lost woods to it. This also makes the lost woods more mysterious. Like why would it have a portal to another land and is there other portals? Also I like this head cannon as it could the kingdom hinted at in Breath of the wild. On that note I want BOTW & TOTK to be a trilogy. Just think about it, link goes to Termina and his new powers could be the transformation masks. And then Finally the return of my favorite race the Deku scrubs.

Symbolism aside, the Moon Children are asking those questions in relation to Skull Kid. And if I bring symbolism back, I think this area was created by Majora using Skull Kid's mind. The questions are thoughts, and the kids being the Salesman could either be because an impression was left from the time Skull Kid personally attacked the Salesman in the woods, or another mystery between the HMS and Majora directly. I might be mistaken, but I feel like saying Link's Awakening was "all a dream" is a bit of a misrepresentation of the events of that game. It wasn't even Link's dream, right? Weird to have a MM location lore video without any mention about all the theories about Stone Tower. Unless we're just scrapping it all 'cause of the 3DS remake scrubbing the Triforce disrespect away.

I think they have no merit. Multiple games use the same character designs and assets, look at Wind Waker and the two games that follow it, same designs. We also know that he doesn't die until he becomes an adult, so we would see a much different perspective with more characters we haven't seen yet. It also wouldn't be the first foreign land a variation of Link has explored. Not to mention the point that I feel makes the most sense, the game never says it's a dream sequence. Zelda games make these plot points a major focus like in Links Awakening being revealed as a dream.

22:54 when you brought this moment up, I asked myself again, what is this game? I began to entertain my thoughts and found them coming back to when you brought up the Lens of Truth-a shiekah artifact found on the island in snowpeak. Link is led there by none other than Kaepora Gaebora (aka Rauru, the sage of Light) who as far as I can tell is the same owl friend from Ocarina of Time. Not only does he guide link in this foreign world and know him, but he appears to have some qualities akin to worship in the world (e.g. the statues located throughout Termina made in his image). I wonder if, in order to get Link to return to Hyrule where he will ultimately be needed to teach the next hero (of Twilight), Rauru needed to construct a kind of “experience” that would help Link to accept that Navi is gone, and move on with his life instead of searching for her forever. This moment where he “warps” in the woods could be the work/magic of Majora’s Mask, but it seems strange that the mask would be drawn to the Ocarina at all to begin with. Perhaps the skull kid (who knew the sage of forest, since he knows Saria’s song before link plays it to him) associated with the sages of OoT in other ways. Perhaps the sage of light, in the guise of Kaepora (who link first meets in OoT outside of the forest) had enlisted skull kid to lead Link to this “experience” in the lost woods…just wild ideas. Begs the question of how/why Majora’s Mask could’ve gotten involved-and there has been speculation about the Mask Salesman, his possible relationship to the royal family or shiekah etc. Could’ve been “in on it” 😅 but now it sounds like a conspiracy theory. Anyway, great video, got me thinking about the lore implications of my favorite game in the franchise-so thank you HG! ❤ That finale with the children (mask salesman) and their questions/discussions of friendship and morality in a realm of pure light….hm makes ya wonder!

While the Encyclopedia describes Termina as a "dream world" crafted from the Skull Kids memories, it's a dream world with a constant theme of "similar but opposite" to Hyrule -Ocarina starts us in the woods, a setting mostly isolated from the outside world. In MM, we start in Clock Town, a bustling place filled with people and commerce - The first dungeon explored is in a Deku area. Ocarina, however, features its first dungeon as somewhere on dry land and easily accessible. MM, on the other hand, is filled with water that slowly drains your health if you fall in - the second dungeon is in a Goron area. Instead of the volcanic mountain area with constant eruptions like in Ocarina, were given a blizzard-covered peak, which becomes a calm, spring-summery vacation spot -The third dungeon is in a Zora area. We go from the small, contained, caved freshwater environment of Zora's Domain where they manage to keep to themselves to the wide open beach and ocean where the Zora have occasional clashes with nearby pirates -The fourth dungeon is dark and relates to death. In Hyrule, the first place we walk into as Adult Link is Hyrule Castle Town, now destroyed and overrun with zombies, and find Hyrule Field has become semi-infested with ghosts. Later, the fourth Temple Adult Link actually goes through in Ocarina is an underground temple hidden from sight. In Termina, this area isn't just not underground, but high up on a series of cliffs. Both areas are focused on death in some manner, and both areas either feature the royal family of the kingdom in question, or some connection to them To go even further, the Triforce in Ocarina is most heavily seen in the second place the game sends us to check out, Castle Town and the Castle. In Termina, the Triforce is ONLY seen in Kiana Canyon underneath the moving blocks, and the second-to-last area of the game. Hyrule gave us a place of Triforce worship early after starting, Termina gives us Triforce blaspheming near the end. It's a constant pattern and theme between the two games and I can't not recognize it almost everywhere in Majora's Mask lol

"that sounds like something ripped straight out of random dreams" i'm a random person and i have never in my life dreamt of grassy plains. i actually like the theory of Majora's Mask being about Link dying because in the next game in the chronological order, Twilight Princess, we meet Link from Ocarina of Time as a ghost teaching us sword techniques. he looks like a child at the beginning of Majora's Mask not because he is a child, but because that's how we see him, clinging onto his child self after he lost Navi and his entire life turned upside down, in his adult life still searching for his friend and companion and a subconscious way to get back to the moment before the events of Ocarina of Time took place. in the end he ended up back at the Lost Forest where his adventure with Navi started and because of losing himself in his past he got lost in his memories and died there.

It is more difficult to grab footage of a 3DS game. Even through emulation, the N64 games have more tools available. Visuals-wise the 3DS version is more saturated and loses some of its atmosphere through that but that is subjective. The N64 version is also much more fun to play through for several reasons. The nerfed deku spin momentum alone makes the first big chunk of game much more of a chore.

Come on Oracle games! Oracle games or Link Between Worlds! Personally, I really don't like the "Link is dead" theory, but I can't really say why. LoZ has been my favorite series of games since the 80s, even with the couple I don't care about (4 swords, PH, ST, TFH), or rabidly dislike (Skyward Sword), so maybe I just don't like the idea of Link "dying" in some dumb way I feel wouldn't have happened if I/we were in control. It's also why, despite liking several games in the Downfall Timeline, I hate the idea of it. Mechanically, Link could have died anywhere along the way, but the idea that it was the OoT Gdorf fight; practically the easiest fight in the series, meaning the only way it works is arbitrary declaration, just passes me off. Still, as Zelda games go, Majora's Mask has always held a high spot with me. Sure, it would be nice to know the truth of things, and where a successful Link, who still never finds Navi, does end up going. Especially with its otherworldly nature, we never get a game that directly follows it, or references it, like several other titles. One little temporal what's it; Romani says They come every year, and go for the cows. Cremia doesn't seem aware of them; she's not keeping the dark secret from her little sister, and fending them off, and Romani is just learning the bow, so she hasn't fended them off before, despite seemingly being aware that they've repeatedly arrived, before. That makes me wonder about prior years? Did not Talon patrol the paddock, fire flower from his side job in hand, before he passed? Did They take the cows each year, but then return them, making Romani's efforts pointless? Despite Dad's absence, the ranch seems to have been doing well enough, established with Chateau Romani, and milk trade, so assuming not-Talon didn't just die within the last few months, I wonder how threatening the aliens were, or not, prior to our arrival? It's also sort of odd that, in Hyrule, the Royal Family is protected by the ninja-like Sheikah, and while they are oddly absent in MM, in Termina, the ninja-like agents are, instead, the ENEMIES of the Royal Family, and likely assassinated them, instead of safeguarding.

It's funny when you ask the question of what was Majora's Mask all about, I think of it being Link having to face up against the 7 stages of grief, seeing as he's given side-quests of people going through their own turmoils with grief. So Link needed to learn that, but it still don't explain Mask Salesman though, seemingly he knows the state of the world of Termina and knows a lot about the Clock Tower and Clock Town itself, given he "supposedly" followed Link here for the first time.

MM is an Alice in Wonderland style adventure, but Link did actually leave Hyrule for Termina. That is confirmed in WW. When the Hero of Time left Hyrule to go on a selfish quest, the Triforce of Courage became a physical object, and shattered into pieces that the Hero of the Winds eventually reassembled. It’s also heavily implied that, that is the reason a version on the hero didn’t automatically reappear (as expected) before the king asked the gods to flood Hyrule was due to this.

@@bagofshhh Sure! No problem! At the end of Ocarina of Time, Zelda sends Link back to his timeline to regain those seven years he lost.

So when Ganon breaks the seal, (from the end of OoT when you beat him as an adult) and returns, that future version of Hyrule had no one to stop him, and the gods were forced to flood the whole nation to seal Ganon once more.

Link was a victim. The deku tree and princess zelda used link as a mask to declare war against major enemy’s now targeting link while they were able to stay safe. All of hyrule put the blame on link.

Majora's Mask has had a lot of theories about what it is. Personally, I think that after OoT, Link went to hang out with Ruto. On the way, the magic bean salesman offered him some magic beans. Link starts eating them, and has an acid trip. That's what Majora's Mask is, Link's trip. The when he starts to come down, he imagines playing the song of time, which is him eating more beans.

I've got a bit of a crackpot theory about Termina that involves some inspiration borrowed from Chronicles of Narnia and Harry Potter, so take it with a grain of salt. What if Termina is a pocket dimension that started as a blank slate? Skull Kid wandered into a portal to this void of a world and, like the Room of Requirement, it began to form based on his memories and imagination to what it is. The Skull Kid's wish to make friends would form the four giants, tall and imposing friends that could play with him and protect him and the worldhe created. The world and its denizens acted out their lives based off Skull Kid's wishes until the day their programming set in and they began to act autonomously. The giants took up their roles as protectors and departed to the four regions. Skull Kid, seeing his control slipping, loses his temper and lashes out at the world, causing the citizens to call on the giants to stop him. It's a way to take the information from the books (despite the contradicting evidence within) and backstory of the game, mix in a little creative liberties borrowed from other sources, all in order to explain where this land came from and its similarities to Hyrule.

day 126 of mentioning that on 6/6/2023 hyrule gamer made a video where, at 43.46, he spent 12 seconds simping about the ancient gerudo soldiers Simp is an internet slang term describing someone who shows excessive sympathy and attention toward another person, typically someone who does not reciprocate the same feelings, in pursuit of affection or a sexual relationship.This behavior, known as simping, is carried out toward a variety of targets, including celebrities, politicians, e-girls, and e-boys. The term had sporadic usage until gaining traction on social media in 2019. Originally a shortening of "simpleton," the New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English traces usage of the noun simp to 1903. An article in February 1917 edition of Motion Picture Magazine by Arthur Le Kaser has an animated drawing of a female director yelling at a male leading man through a megaphone 'Kiss Her You Simp, Hurry Up Camera!' The shortening has appeared for example in the New York Times as early as 1923, when the paper reported on a letter by one Lillian Henderson criticizing the members of two clubs in Atlantic City for unmarried men: Those bachelor simps are afraid to take a chance and too tight to share their earnings with a wife. Simp began to have the connotation of someone being "soft" and "overly sympathetic" in the 1980s, when it was used by West Coast rappers such a Hugh E.M.C., Too Short, and E-40. Simp was referenced in the 1992 hit, Baby Got Back, by Sir Mix-a-Lot, in the lyrics, "A lot of simps won't like this song". In 1999, the term was used in the Three 6 Mafia song "Sippin' on Some Syrup" as an antonym for pimp; Too Short has described a "simp" as equivalent to "a knockoff pimp". The term has been expressed as a backronym for Sucker/Sucka Idolizing Mediocre Pussy, which according to Gizmodo Australia is "telling of its 20th century origins". A definition of simp appeared on Urban Dictionary in 2005, and the word continued to be used by rappers into the 2010s, when it was adopted by members of manosphere, incel, and MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way) forums alongside similar derogatory terms such as cuck, beta, and white knight. The word became widely popular on TikTok in 2019, and soon also became popular on Twitch and Twitter. According to Google Trends, interest in the term doubled between late 2018 and late 2019. The word has been used by some fan communities who call themselves "simps" for a celebrity figure. According to The Daily Dot, the term is often used ironically; similarly, Magdalene Taylor at MEL Magazine says the term is "used mostly as a joke". Nathan Grayson writes at Kotaku that it is "difficult to find breaks in the chain of the word's linguistic lineage".
