* Jossed by the fact that Link becomes [[spoiler:the Hero's Shade]] by the events of ''Twilight Princess''. [[spoiler: The Hero's Shade states that he became a knight and developed a number of powerful sword techniques that he failed to pass on before he died.]] If Link was already dead, he couldn't have done that.

* The closest we get to seeing anything about the lost tribe is ''possibly'' the Moon Children. The Skull Kid is the same one from ''Ocarina of Time'' that you give the Skull Mask. There are other Skull Kids in that game, but not ''Majora's Mask''.

* The only issue is that except in Ocarina of Time, Dark Link is explicitly mentioned as being a copy of Link created using Shadow magic. There can also be more than one of him at once. VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaFourSwordsAdventures and VideoGame/HyruleWarriors both have multiple copies of him running around at once. They're also implied to be mostly mindless puppets. The one in Ocarina of Time is implied to be magic as well, since he doesn't appear in the room until after Link checks the door out of the room they fight in, which also has an illusion to appear as a foggy lake with small buildings in it until he's beaten. Then it just looks like a normal room.

[[WMG: The Fierce Deity is Link's Termina counterpart...]]
The first Link, that is. He received whatever the Termina counterpart of the Triforce of Power was, instead of the Termina Triforce of Courage, causing him to gain great power and lived long enough to become considered a deity. Then he died in some battle (probably sealing Majora in the past or something), and someone played the Song of Healing, creating the Fierce Deity's Mask.

They are the parallels to Twinrova, who were one of the major bosses of Ocarina of Time and attempted to screw with the deities' will. One of the Termina witches refers to the Skull Kid as a harmless little punk, despite his abilities to warp space, travel between dimensions, and potential immortality (or even having conquered death, which is admittably not that big a deal in MM and other 3D Zelda games). The only things they do in the game are make potions, remotely pilot a boat, and fly on a broomstick, but their comparison to Twinrova should be enough to suggest they can do more, let alone their mostly-dismissal of the Skull Kid even with Majora's Mask.

[[WMG: Majora created the Fierce Deity's Mask itself.]]
It either made the mask out of whole cloth or imprisoned the Fierce Deity inside it. It gave the mask to Link because….well, why not? It's all but stated Majora sees the whole conflict as a game of tag and Link as something like a WorthyOpponent. It's not whether you win or lose the game, it's how you play.

* This would make sense, since otherwise the Deku Scrub is the "odd one out" among the individuals who provide Link with the transformation masks. Darmani and Mikau are heroes to their own people, albeit in different ways, whereas the Deku Butler's son doesn't have any claim to fame other than being….well, the butler's son. It seems likely that he was at least athletic, and the butler says he "left home long ago", implying some wanderlust on his part and maybe an adventurous streak.

** By the same token, whereas Link is of humble origin, never knew his family, and seems to have little time for romance, Kafei is the son of Clock Town's most important citizens, has loving parents, and is passionately in love with Anju. And for whatever it's worth, there are obvious parallels to be drawn between Kafei and Ravio, Link's counterpart in ''TheLegendOfZeldaALinkBetweenWorlds''; both wear masks and have purple hair.

[[WMG: The Music Box House in Ikana Canyon that Pamela and her father live in was once Guru-Guru's residence.]]
The house seems tailor made for the guy, given his love of music and the house's connection to the Song of Storms. How'd you like to hear ''that'' tune blaring from the place 24/7?

The house seems tailor made for the guy, given his love of music guy. It's the closest thing to a windmill (his counterpart's residence) seen in Termina, it's located in the resident "creepy ghost area" in both worlds, and the house's it has a connection to the Song of Storms. Storms, which Guru-Guru always plays. How'd you like to hear ''that'' tune blaring from the place 24/7?

\n[[WMG: Link stayed for a little while after the ending to clean up loose plot threads]]
Nobody said Link had to leave Termina on the fourth day, and with the moon no longer falling, he's got all the time in the world to help the people of Termina that he missed the chance to before. That explains why Kafei's wedding happens no matter whether you helped him in this cycle or not, because even if you didn't, Link doubled back and helped Kafei reclaim the Sun's Mask, anyway.

* It could be that Nintendo focused on the creepiness because that's what WE focus on. Not Tropers, but the big time Majora's Mask fans. They were appealing to the fanbase in the trailer. Whether it will be creepier or not... I think I've heard that the OoT remake toned down some of the creepiness of the original game. I still haven't played the remake, so I can't say for certain.

[[/folder]]* Actually, you could summon the Elegy statue in Ikana Canyon, not just the Ancient Castle or Stone Tower. I personally doubt they intended it to be a BenDrowned ShoutOut, but it's still possible Nintendo would make it a bit more spooky than it already was.

[[WMG: Nintendo will up the creepiness BIG TIME in the rerelease]]
Watch the first trailer for Majora 3D. It's spooky and almost soley focused on the game's most creepy moments and music. The friggen Elegy statue made it in (and appeared somewhere it was previously impossible for him to be summoned...). Scarier visuals, higher intensity, a BenDrowned ShoutOut, I saw all bets are off now.

It would explain his apparent powers and creepy nature, as well as giving some explanation for his job choice. As Skyward Sword establishes that demons tend to be a WalkingWasteland, and staying in one place too long can corrupt the local wildlife. As such a career that allows him to constantly move around would allow him to stay amongst hylians without any of the negative effects.

[[WMG: Majora is the Terminans name for the Daedric Prince Sheogorath.]]
They're both utterly insane, share a similar color scheme, primarily purples. Both have a tendency to turn things into other things, ala the Wabbajack, and both also tried to drop a moon on a city. Majora did so to Clock Town. Sheogorath to the city Vivec. Majora's Mask is one the Daedric artifacts like the Wabbajack.

* Someone once posited that the Ikana Kingdom is the way it is, because its inhabitants mocked the gods by depicting the Triforce upside-down in most of the architecture in their kingdom. However, now we know (or rather, now Nintendo has decided) that the upside-down Triforce is the Triforce of Lorule (an alternate dimension version of Hyrule). Thus, not only is Termina a parallel universe, it is the same parallel universe that Lorule is in. This probably suggests there was a Hyrule version of Termina, but the events of the game take place in the Lorulian version.

**To go in-line with actual events that could happen within the univers and not contriving a fourth-wall breaking phenomenon, Link is afraid of his own power and "sealed it away" in a mask he made himself. He carried this with him as a reminder of how truly terrifying and powerful he can be but also as a way to make sure he would never unleash this power. When he's stripped of everything within the Moon, including his collection of masks that were given to him for his various good deeds, he realizes that he needs to use this power and becomes the "fierce diety" he imagines himself to be by putting on a mask, which makes him feel justified in using his full power as well as freeing him of any guilt due to the devastation he might cause from completely cutting loose. Basically, the mask itself functions as Link's WorldOfCardboardSpeech.

** The Happy Mask Salesman's dialogue notes that
-->"''It is called Majora’s Mask. It is an accursed item from legend that is said to have been used by an ancient tribe in its hexing rituals…''”
-->"''According to legend… the troubles caused by Majora’s Mask were so great… the ancient ones, fearing such catastrophe, sealed the mask in '''shadow''' forever, preventing its misuse…''”
This lends a lot of credibility to this theory. After all, the Dark Interlopers were noted to be masters of magic, and dark magic like hexing would be a powerful weapon indeed, judging from what we see the mask do over the course of the game.
