The Mystery of Majora’s Mask’s “Aliens” (Legend of Zelda) 

@@Sam-kn2dw Martha's Landing is a reference to Martha's Bay from Link's Awakening, and is even called that in the Japanese version. Nothing to do with aliens.

I noticed that too.

Wat

@man with a username I played the remake up until a giant eyeball popped out of Odalwa. And I said, "Oh, they're doing this crap again." And I haven't played it since.

@@Sam-kn2dw BOTW also has a blood moon. Like, does the moon literally turn red or is Ganon placing a shader effect on the sky? Cause no matter how much magic power the dude has, changing the color of a separate celestial body is a bit much for any dehydrated wizard.

Next Zelda game: Space travel....after BOTW2 I mean.

​@@ironepsilon1992 But you must never go to the moon! After all those Blood Moons with no hero there, its gotta be PACKED with monsters! Seas of Moblins and Hinoxes as far as the eye can see! In fact, blow it up! It's nothing but trouble!

@@KertaDrake I'd be more afraid of Majora....that THING is bad news.

😮 Who would've thought?

Dude, you just spoiled the whole video.

Even Link couldn't save everyone... F for the Deku's butler child.😢

The toilet hand thing is actually based off a Japanese ghost story if you look it up

yes. craziest 2nd best to oot. but still Majoeas mask is way more darker and has its benifits...just oot made me cry more as A LITTLE KID.

Tingle

the whole feel of the game is sad and eerie yet keeps u SO intrigued

"let's just take the cows and dip before something places a curse on us"

@@opera_ghost8504 "oh my Xenu! These young primitives are shooting at us with wooden spikes! Why aren't our force shields working?!?" "Sir, the shields were made to block plasma shots and supersonic rounds! The spikes are slow enough that they are ignored! We came here expecting to be shot by magical fireballs, not literal caveman tech!"

@@rotciv557 this is actually terrifying, when they go back on the next Carnival, poor Romani ain't gonna be able to cut it if she doesn't learn some magic beforehand.

@@Derfderk Nah, Link'll just Song of Soaring back to Romani Ranch every year in order to help out. He gets payed in Romani milk and Cremia hugs so it's more than worth it.

“Let’s get the cows and go. This time there’s some ancient hero with the power to beat an evil king with magic powers. And get the kid, guys, she knows about this”

Fr bro

This video came out 4 minutes ago HOW did you already watched it

@@delta8584 - Guess they just didn't? Not all the way through yet, at least.

especially in breath of the wild. Some sort of place you have to defend for the night, idk it was be cool

Well,they sort of do... Breath of the wild, anyone?

Wow pretty cool to see you here

Omg CZsWorld yo how are you

They look like the Flatwoods mosnter

i did and even saw the unknown mysteries behind it, still find it creepy till this day, glad someone else has covered it!

majoras mask messed me up more than drugs 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣

Because them might be zonai Just kidding

100%. Sometimes BOTW just seems lifeless

@@masterkohga2353 Unless....

Strange that BOTW at some point was considering the alien route also

There needs to be more events and such going on in the over world in general. Having rare and random alien invasions would be so sick. And having to find out where they are coming from and possibly a bonus dungeon of a crashed mothership or something would be out of this world

"Phantom" Zant is noted on some wikias to actually be a _Star Wars_ style hologram: blue shade, scanlines, and static when he's hit.

The Legend of Zelda was originally planned to be post apocalyptic after humanity destroyed civilization.

@@brandongravley6339 still apocalyptic thou lol

Woah, that's creepy.

Like "If you humans help us get the magic milk, we help you sell your useless milk"? That would made sense, I mean it makes more sense than the brothers being behind the scenes.

@@Hiper_F64 I was more thinking along the lines that the Gorman brothers were there to distract the sisters from the invasion and provide an explanation for why the cows disappear.

@@Supasmartguy I mean that can work as well. But what if the brothers accidentaly discover the aliens, and before they can dispose them, the brothers made a deal with "them", they will make a distraction so the aliens can attack more easly and in exange they can ensure they safety, and as a bonus they can make profit with their milk. Also I dont remember if it's mention how the third brother (the one from the mask) was killed, but maybe could have something to do with the aliens? Idk

@@Hiper_F64 that's essentially what I'm saying.

D&D's mindflayers and Pathfinder's Dominion of the Black could count, although the latter is an organization of several aliens and brainwashed humanoids rather than a specific species of space spook.

I agree with that wholeheartedly. In a fantasy game filled with monsters, ghouls and skeletons I thought I was ready for anything. Aliens in my Zelda game was such a left turn it absolutely terrified me as a kid.

It's even more unsettling in a series like Zelda where it is an objective fact that there are goddesses who created the world and seem to care about only it. It makes you wonder, if these aliens are coming from another planet, does this planet have no gods/goddesses? or does it have its own? could these other gods ever become enemies of the goddesses? Lots of questions!

Probably because some writers are afraid of Fantasy Purists who'll shout "This doesn't belong in Fantasy!", but it definitely is incredibly spooky to have aliens in a fantasy setting because it really highlights the advanced and foreign nature of Aliens, that our Midieval style Paladin won't be able to understand them.

I say considering their appearance,how they move, and how they are positioned I say they are the Flatwoods monster

Gather all the population in the town that's built with rather large walls for safety, perhaps? Spend one night of paranoia followed by one day of partying, then everyone forgot the paranoia part due to always going to party and never being around to see what's going on at their farms?

To my understanding, due to the varying distance between Earth and Mars, to ensure the greatest chance of success we mainly send out probes, etc. to Mars when the two planets are at their closest. It may be that the time for the festival lands at such a similar point.

I remember thinking that Bellum from Phantom Hourglass was an extraterrestrial when I played it as a kid. Looking back I don't think there's anything that supports that hypothesis, but Bellum certainly feels more like a Metroid foe than it does a Zelda one.

@@LonelySpaceDetective it clearly does LOOK like a Lovecraft style alien.

@Ahsoka Skywalker we did get a remake and it wasnt as good

I feel the same way. I think another reason it is so great to me is the nature in which I played it. I played OOT when it came out and LOVED it. I was 6 yeaes old. I remember not even knowing about MM until I randomly was at my friends house in like 2001...and he had the game. I remember I was shocked there was a different game. I was excited to try it and I did...it looked exactly the same as OOT so I was expecting more of the same. But I remember when I played it it just felt...off and weird. But not in a bad way. It really felt like an alternate universe to me. Especially since I didn’t even know it existed until that day. The time mechanic and starting off as a deku scrub made me feel weird I remember. Like totally different than the OOT. Oh and the moon...I remember being like wtf?? Even as a 7 or 8 yo. Just felt creepy and weird Fast forward 7-8 years and I had never played any more of the game until one day I remembered that there was a sequel to OOT. And I finally decided to buy it myself on eBay. It arrived and for some reason I still had a weird feeling about the game. Like it just arrived in one of those yellow folder type packages...no offIcial box. No tv adds about it...no hyped marketing...just me playing a used copy that arrived from eBay. I then played through all the way to the ikana canyons part....and I couldn’t beat it and it was the year I was going going into highschool (2008/2009). The game faded for me cuz I got busy with highschool etc. but I really enjoyed it...but it was so hard to me at the time. Like cursed Then fast forward another 6 years. I was in college. And I decided to get the GameCube version of the game that was ported. I was very fond of the game but I remember I never actually beat it. So I was determined to beat it. I played it again....notice how each time I attempt this game it’s from a totally different mental state (7 or 8 yo, 15yo, 20ish yo). So I am playing this game for a third time and it still always brings back nostalgia of OOT because it looks and sounds the same...but it still feels like an alternate reality to my nostalgia. Hard to describe. And wouldn’t you know it...I got stuck in ikana canyon and didn’t beat the game again LOL. I was in college and ended up getting a gf. So my interests shifted a bit. Luckily she was into gaming actually and she knew all about Majoras mask and basically any game really. So finally I played it with her and beat the game. So it was just a weird way to experience the game for me. Playing it for the first time without even knowing about it. It honestly felt like it popped out of nowhere like magic. Then playing it multiples times at different stages of life and not being able to beat it. Felt cursed or something. So all of that combined with how amazing the game is....made for one great experience for me when playing this game. Everything about it was unnatural in the way I experienced it...and I feel there was no better way for me to experience Majoras mask. I have so much emotion and nostalgia attached to the game

It is said that the sequel to breath of the wild will get darker than Majora's Mask.

**sniff** I know :(

Having completed both the original and the remake, I don't see much of gap between the two. They are functionally the same with only minor changes that in my opinion don't affect the overall experience. With the exception of fishing holes. Link was born to fish. 👍

"This is Misunderstood Technology!" (....he says that a LOT).

because to That Guy older (PoC) peoples couldn’t POSSIBLY be engineers with “simpler” tools 😒😪

@@anonymousfellow8879 eh, that guy believes aliens engineered us so I doubt he cares about race or ethnicity if he thinks everyone came from aliens.

@@EasyCure0 Regardless, he does claim that all the covered non-white races couldn't possibly know what they did, which is inherently bias against those races. (On a sidenote I heard that the PhD that they show is largely unrelated to anything that the show covers, iirc it is physiology)

Giorgio Tsoukalos. You can thank me later. 😂

Maybe you should go outside for a some fresh air

Right 😂

@@zakashiXninja wdym

Its creepy 😂

@@zakashiXninja I just got shivers when he showed the photo of the "alien"

Where's that from?

@@siscokidder It's from the pilot episode of _South Park._

Same.

A really stupid *stance to take

Lore channels be starved

For some reason when I was a kid I thought they were the garo without their cloaks

People just want to debunk aliens, even if they're in video games.

And then you realize that in Hyrule, the king of the Zora is sitting in the source of all the water in the Kingdom...

@@KertaDrake y u m m y

I always thought the scene with princess Ruto after you save her from jabu-jabu was a bit much lmao

@@slarbiter Pfft, please. It _awakened_ things in me at the time.

Um, excuse me, the zora king wears a shawl…

the flatwoods monster?

How??

@@FoxGoesSquee some people are susceptible to certain imagery.

@@FoxGoesSquee Guess I'm the only one! I think it's because the image first appeared to me to be a photograph, not a piece of artwork.

Imagine being a West Virginia native (like me) and being told that story/shown that drawing as a four-year-old. Now THAT is a formula for nightmares, I can tell you.

Imagine being a farmer and playing this. I was that farmer lol. We were obsessed with aliens as a kid, as it was somrthing we believed to be a real thing to be wary of

@@sethdusith6093 Lol

You're definitely just referencing the pilot episode of South Park

Imagine that you're just walking through Hyrule Field at night, the eerie sounds of the wind blowing and crickets chirping being the only noises besides your footsteps and breathing along with whatever animals lurk in the darkness covered grass. Then, the sky above you suddenly glows orange, yet the landscape surrounding you remains shrouded in shadow. You're confused for a bit until you look up, at which point you transition from confused to scared. Right above you is a giant orange ball, hovering completely motionless against the night sky. Then, some kind of energy beam blasts you, and you suddenly start being pulled up into the ball. You're now moving from scared to terrified as the landscape below you disappears into darkness and your eyes suddenly shut. That would be fucking horrific.

As much as I'm not really keen on the idea of "Them" coming back, a Zelda dungeon set inside an alien ship sounds *super-dope.*

There was some Breath of the Wild concept art that had some kind of alien related theme. It would be interesting if we see "Them" in the sequel.

Go full Mothership Zeta on it. Accidentally blow up Ganon's fortress with a death ray!

Agreed, the boulder is placed there to prevent link from getting his horse back

Yeah that makes way more sense. How would the Gorman brothers move it? Skull kid with the power of Majora can literally move the moon

@@mattdeluccia153 my guess is if the Gorman bros did cause the boulder issue it wouldn't be by moving it but causing it to fall likely using a mining pickaxe or bombs of some sort though I doubt they'd use a powder keg as I think only gorons can use that, but not Link nor the terminians however I can also see the power of the mask by skull kid used here too considering skull kid is making a moon which is made of space rock so both are logical but I agree they could not move a rock of that size with just their hands.

Haaaahaaahaa...I see what you did there.

Aliens vs ancient giant mecha would be entertaining. Take Vah Medoh for a spin against some saucers!

Probably because it was always successfully defended. An alien has to actually reach the barn for them to win

Perhaps she had her memory erased just like Romani.

why does she hold her head in pain and she doesn’t remember anything 😳😵‍💫

Romani’s ranch during the alien Invasion that shit gave me trauma I lived in a ranch myself in Puerto Rico where literally the first registered sight of “El chupacabra” occurred in 1995 the town of Canovanas and the during following years up to the early 2000’s when I played this game. I legit saw chickens, goats and rabbits sucked all of their blood as a kid with 3 holes punctures and Majora didn’t help with that trauma 😂🤣. Wether it was an alien or a rabid animal that did it that’s a different discussion but Canovanas intercepts with part of the mystical rainforest of Puerto Rico “El Yunque” where US military has secret bases, huge satélite antennas and where UFO’s have been encountered and observed by the locals for decades. *I heard so many stories like Romani’s where people have seen said creatures at night killing their farm animals, or just UFO’s in the sky in this area. There’s many theories like US military experiments gone wrong, US military exercises, wild animals, Aliens, signals being send to space through the observatory of Arecibo which used be the biggest Lonosphere in the planet. Funny enough there’s an astral observatory in Majora, coincidence much?*

Maybe worried about feeling close to Nier which I think was still big around it’s time?

Twilight Princess had a very sci-fi feel.

Don't think they'll do it unless there is a futuristic Zelda game in the future...because let's be honest, Hyrule is way too primitive to beat space faring aliens

Well, to cross franchises: Donald's most powerful spell is *GUN.* preview.redd.it/qh8u8o4cd4421.jpg?auto=webp&s=29655e6ffe7d8c130da9bae002dbcc2ed997c808

@@WarmLillie sorry but you are too young wait till you are of age.

@@GODOFAWSOMENESS1 But Young Link can drink it...

@@WarmLillie he is a special case. Also he doesn’t seem to be affected by alcohol.

I agree

It's the "video essay" voice.

But thats mostly because we don't know very much about them, they weren't made by Nintendo, and they weren't very popular.

@@confusedduck8695 Yeah, but I see people doing theories about the trailer of Breath of the wild 2 and we don't even know nothing about it. So, I think holodrum and Labrynna can be more easy to speculate, because its an actual game.

I agree. I mean, Termina is always brought up as being an alternate dimension/universe because it has doppelgängers of the Hyrulians, yet the neighboring lands of Labrynna and Holodrum also have doppelgängers of Hylians. How come no one acknowledges that?

@@geoffreyrichards6079 Wait, they have doppelgangers, too? I thought Labyrnna/Holodrum were canonically neighboring lands?

They are. That’s why it’s so confusing, and also why I’m skeptical about Termina being a separate world altogether.

Not unless they have an alien in it

I had to look this up but it's hilariously true, thank you for the tip

It totally wasn't aliens. Tingle just crashed his balloon into the farm combined with swamp gas from Woodfall. Nothing to see here!

OOooo, what's up with the attic? If I remember right, it was just boxes, though...

@@popsicIes In the 3ds verson there is a coffin that looks like it from Egypt and a stone statue that is covered up so you can't see its face but it has pretty large feet.....I think there were other stuff but I can't remember.

As a child Majora made me feel uneasy… specially Romani’s ranch during the alien Invasion that shit gave me trauma I lived in a ranch myself in Puerto Rico where literally the first registered sight of “El chupacabra” occurred in 1995 the town of Canovanas and the during following years up to the early 2000’s when I played this game.

Hmmm I could use a smoke or 2

Dooooooope

i wish there was fanart of a drunk fierce deity link

@@LonelySpaceDetective I'm sure it's been done

I think i remember those. They had a little suction cup that sticked them to whatever surface you placed it on

same but with my mom!!! first real anxiety attack i felt as a kid ;-;

I agree! And nobody seems to mention the dog that runs around the barn and house barking at the aliens that are WAAAAY too close to the barn (like a warning that you're about to fail). Im sure that doggy belonged to her and lives on the ranch now.

Me too

That sounds like i would be a good video

Getting lost in the lost woods is a hell of a drug

True. Though speeding up the time would make this incredibly easy otherwise. Well designed balance

I literally had a dream about it last night 😂

Why July 16 though :( But Nintendo should take their time

@@oldestmanjenkins yeah, im really excited, i haven't played it since 2012 and i never passed it so im glad im getting a second chance
