** According to BrawlInTheFamily, the moon's actually terrified. It knows it's being pulled closer and closer to the Earth and there's nothing it can do about it. The grimace? It's bracing itself for the eventual impact.

** If memory serves, only the hilt has changed. So presumably, sometime in between [=OoT=] and MM, the old handle broke while Link was doing a carving on his treehouse or something and the handle broke, so he had to get it replaced.

** Good question. He'd have to also explain to the Gorons that Darmini is still dead, and to the Deku Butler that his son is also dead. He'd also have to explain that, yes, he was posing as each of them. I'm wondering [[WMG if their reactions was one of the factors that caused Link to leave Termina? Not all of them are going to be happy that he's been impersonating dead guitarists, warriors, and butler sons.]]

* Okay. So the guitarist of The Indigo-go's is dead and Link has been posing as him. Would Link have to tell them Mikau is dead and what would they do when they do find out?

*** Sakon ''might'' have stolen the appropriate stuff from some unfortunate people. Maybe. Besides, it's his hideout, so maybe he has the privilege of knowing some way there that we don't get to see. No idea for Kafei, though.

*** Silly Tropers, you forget the main reason of paradoxes - simultaneous existences. Each time Link goes back in time, he reappears in Dawn of The First Day, at the exact same place. Reliving the memories during the first Song of Time warp (and possibly Majora's curse) renders him unable to see his other incarnations, yet they all are there. In short, Link goes back in time, to his previous self, and that previous self repeats his actions on that preevious cycle, whic is the same cycle Link is currently on, doing other work. As far as i understand.

** GameplayAndStorySegregation? It helps you tell when an (in-game) hour has passed if you happen to not be looking at the timer for whatever reason (if you're fighting a boss, for instance, you might not be focusing on the timer as much).



* What happened to Romani after she gets abducted by the aliens (should you let them get into the barn)? I know at least one troper thinking she was lobotomized, but I just always assumed that she was locked in permanent BSOD upon being surrounded by the aliens who was shocked at this stowaway that they returned her immediatly. (And she is on the ranch in the second day, just out near the doggy race building wandering around aimlessly.)

* Okay, I got another one in regards to our old friend, the Moon. Why do fans keep thinking its ugly face is grinning? On the off days I actually feel like looking at the thing it certainly doesn't look like its grinning to me, its quite obviously grimacing in pain or its just pissed off, I wouldn't call that toothy mouthed expressiona smile in any way.

** The manga shows a warrior managing to slay the demon Majora via convincing it to dance itself to death. Said warrior resembled the Fierce Deity mask quite a bit so one way or another the warrior's soul became a mask that ended up in the hands of Majora. I'd say it was Majora's parting shot.

******Compared to Hyrule, Termina seems to rely on technology rather than magic. It could be that even though they are physically identical, the fact that the Terminans don't use magic like the Hylians means they never gained the magical hearing abilities the Hylians posses.

* Yeah, yeah, the whole Kafki and Anju subplot was heartwarming, but at the end, they got married. [[Squick with Kafka as a kid!]] Any rules against this in Termina? And if you [[IdiotBall need a reason why, check out]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aj53exPLs-Y this video at 0:09.]]
** I love how nobody freaking pays attention to the actual ending. You know, the bit where they show the wedding? From Kafei's perspective (good job, by the way, getting the name wrong twice, in two different ways, in one entry)? '''''And said perspective is high enough to see eye to eye with Anju'''''?\\\
Good Christ, people, '''''the curse was broken at the end of the goddamn game'''''. Am I seriously the only person on the planet who can put two and two together here?

* Okay, so it's shown that Stock Pot Inn could really do with a good fixing up...so why doesn't Anju use the 100 rupees in the Knife Chamber to do just that? Surely it'd be enough to fix up the Knife Chamber and get an exterminator for the bugs in the kitchen? The only reason I can think of why she doesn't is that the rupees are actually Goron!Link's luggage sent to his reserved room before his arrival (in which case [[WhatTheHellHero Link is stealing both a reservation and money from a poor, innocent Goron]]), but even if that's the case I think I remember there being 100 rupees in Anju's room too.

* Alright, level with me: Who in the blue hell thought that the Blast Mask, a mask designed to EXPLODE WHILE STILL ON THE WEARER'S FACE was a good idea for a mask/utility? The thing can only be detonated whilst still on Link's face, costing him health without proper shield timing. About the best reason I can come up with was it was a terrorist weapon the bomb shop happened to get ahold of. Maybe Termina had a [[Killer7 Heaven Smile]] problem a while back.

***** Assuming that Link made the journey to Termina from Hyrule AND vice versa, it's not impossible that other people/objects could, as well. Plus, just because there's a Dodongo's Cavern in Hyrule doesn't necessarily mean that there can't be one in Termina. Also, I may be wrong but I believe the Goron calls it "Dodongo Cavern" in Majora's Mask. So there's that, too.
