[[WMG: Termina is a construct outside of time born of Majora interpreting Link's memories of Hyrule]]
''Hyrule Encyclopedia'' claims that Termina is a temporary creation of Majora's Mask, even though the Skull Kid is clearly seen playing in the Southern Swamp before getting it. What if Majora read Link's mind when cursing him and effectively was born of his collective desire to understand [[IronWoobie Link's]] own attachment to the world around him? Majora has [[BlueAndOrangeMorality absolutely no understanding of human emotions and what is considered a pleasant memory, let alone fun]], and [[GreenEyedMonster in his jealousy to Link's memories of Hyrule]], [[EldritchAbomination Majora]] threatens to destroy it all [[EvilCannotComprehendGood due to not being understand why Link would care about this world even though it's clearly doomed]].

Baleful Polymorph was renamed per TRS


* Majora's Mask is powerful enough to [[BalefulPolymorph transform Link into a Deku Scrub,]] as well as rob a Deku kid of it's life (presumably,) completely brainwash a Skull Kid, bring a giant rock crashing down from the heavens, and was once used in ancient hexing rituals. Creating a big white rock with a scary face probably wouldn't be too much of a challenge.

It's established in ''Skyward Sword'' that Demise is the UltimateEvil, and the curse he places on Link and Zelda at the end of the game states that their descendants/future incarnations will be forever plagued by a manifestation of his hatred. Link of [=OoT=] and MM is clearly one of those, and it's never clearly stated that Ganon is the ''only'' result of Demise's hatred. Since Termina was also created by the goddesses, it seems possible that some bit of his evil managed to seep its way inside and eventually take the form of Majora's Mask.

** However, in The Carnival of Time story told by Granny at the Stock Pot Inn, it's stated that the inhabitants of Termina would make their own masks for the Carnival. While it's likely that there's a market for those who can't make their own mask by either lack of ability to do so (or just plain laziness), finding those people would be few and far between given how important the Carnival is to Terminians.

[[WMG:Kafei and Cremia were originally in an arranged marriage.]]
Their parents had set one up when they were younger. Cremia's family would get financial backing from Kafei's to fix the farm up and get it running better, while Kafei's family would get to share in the profits now that they partially own the farm. However, Kafei's heart belonged to his childhood friend Anju, so he refused. Anju is worried that she won't be good enough to justify his decision since all her family has is an old inn. Kafei’s parents were not happy about him refusing. When he disappeared, his mother thought it was because of all the drama and he would rather leave Clock Town forever than deal with all of it. She vowed that if her son was found she would support his choice to marry Anju. How Cremia feels about this isn’t clear, but she’s probably a little annoyed that the farm is going to continue to struggle financially.

** In-game, the Song of Storms is needed to overflow the Spring Water Cave and turn the Music Box House's wheel. It's never specified exactly when Flat composed it (it could've been during his confinment as a ghost, even), but if it was composed in his lifetime, the basic melody might have been passed down throughout the ages as a folk tune. Assuming Guru-Guru was originally an inhabitant of Ikana Canyon, this would explain how he came to know the song, and why he would use it as an inspiration for the Gorman Troupe's music.

** For what it's worth, [[https://zelda.fandom.com/wiki/Mayor_Dotour Mayor Dotour's chair]] in both the original and the remake has an emblem of the moon [[RuleOfSymbolism hanging over his head]] with a goofy, non-malicious smile, so maybe this theory is on to something...

** That's no reason to dismiss the theory. Official sources like the ''Hyrule Historia'' are famously full of contradictions, and there's plenty to suggest that Link was indeed searching for Saria (also, DeathOfTheAuthor). Consider, for example:
*** The Song of Healing is Saria's Song in reverse.
*** At the end of the game, Link and Skull Kid bond over Saria's Song. If we assume Link is searching for Saria, then this is a sensible ending: he comes to accept that Saria is gone (''Majora's Mask'' is often interpreted as a metaphor for the five stages of grief) and makes a ''new'' friend that shares his connection to her.
*** The very last image of the game is a picture of Link and Skull Kid carved on a tree stump very similar to Saria's seat in the Sacred Forest Meadow (possibly the same one?). We also hear Saria's Song when the image appears.
*** This one's more of a stretch, but Skull Kid's lost friends, the four Giants, have green hair. If we interpret Skull Kid as Link's mirror image, then they're both mourning green-haired friends.

When you reach the inside of the Moon, you witness [[AcidTripDimension a surreal past vision]] of the four Lunar Children, wearing the masks of Odolwa, Goht, Gyorg and Twinmold. They are having fun. While Majora is by himself, under the tree [[IJustWantToHaveFriends and no one will play with them]]. Odolwa, Goht, Gyorg and Twinmold when they were alive were benign gods, though found the mortal realm, Termina far below, both fascinating and perplexing. [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove Never quite grasping human emotion or feelings]]. Majora could not comprehend was "fun" even was, or how to do it properly. But Majora's increasing isolation from the others [[StartOfDarkness begets malice]], and eventually murders the other deities, [[DemonicPossession reanimating their remains]]. This brings the wrath of the Fierce Deity down upon him.

[[WMG:The time loop of ''Majora's Mask'' had horrible consequences.]]
(This can also work as an addition to the above genocide theory.) While Link was living through the same three days over and over again in Termina, time was still advancing in Hyrule. And because Link would slow down time or skip ahead days and nights over and over, he had no idea that Hyrulian time was [[NarniaTime moving at a different speed.]] When he finally defeated Majora and returned to Hyrule, he found that the land he knew and loved was completely alien now. Hyrule had declined. The Gerudo and Kokiri were seemingly extinct, humans now lived in the forest, and a colossal prison had been built on top of the ruined Sprit Temple. All the other races were alienated from each other. All of the friends Link had made, even the Princess Zelda he knew, were long dead. He was an adult spirit trapped in the body of a child displaced from his own time. As he grew up in this darker new Hyrule, he honed his skills should the Hero of Time ever be called upon again. But this new Hyrule had no use for an antiquated hero from an antiquated age, and so Link drifted into history, dying alone and filled with regret. It would not be for many years until his restless spirit would be awoken by a new darkness spreading across Hyrule. And then, when it seemed all hope was lost, he discovered the beginnings of a Hero within a youth much like himself, a young man descended from Link's own bloodline...
* Alternatively, tying in to the theory that ''Majora's Mask'' is AllJustADream, ''MM'' literally takes place ''during'' the seven years that ''[=OoT=]'' Link is lying dormant in the Temple of Time, possibly as a test to help him hone his abilities.

* But the Mask lost its deific, world-destroying power shortly before you return it to him. While it's plausible (in fact, quite likely) that the two are connected beyond his simple "I found it somewhere for collecting purposes", returning the mask to him would mean nothing beyond allowing him a much less dangerous item for his collection.

The Fierce Deity Mask has been confirmed to be made from the memories of the people in Termina, through the masks they gave to Link representing their happiness.
So, perhaps Majora's Mask was made by the Ancient Tribe using the memories and emotions of Termina in a darker time, where despair and [[MeaningfulName Wrath]] were dominant over the land, and the two masks are just a single form taken by these two concepts throughout the many years?
