History WMG / TheLegendofZeldaMajorasMask

Majora's Mask is [[Persona2EternalPunishment Nyarlathotep]], The Moon is Nyx, The Happy Mask Salesman is either Philemon or Igor, and almost everyone in Termina is a Persona User, which would make Link a Wild Card. The Happy Mask Salesman does give you what it essentially your first mask, or in this case, Persona. The themes of Major's Mask and Persona 3 do fit with each other, knowing that death is inescapable.

* So Termina is a suburb of [[SoulEater Death City]]?

I know, it's the most wild of the wild mass guesses on this site, but think about it. There's nothing in any of the games that he's appeared in that suggests that he is evil. (Granted, I've only played Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time, if there's a game he appeared in that did have him as evil, feel free to correct me.) People always assume that he'd evil due to his creepy nature, but not all creepy people are evil. Heck, [[Series/DoctorWho The Doctor]] has a folder to himself on that series's [[NightmareFuel/DoctorWho Nightmare Fuel page]], but no one's going to say he's evil. The only thing that he does that even comes close to evil is when he shakes Link around like a rag doll, but a) he was in the middle of a monumental freakout due to the idea that Termina's ultimate evil might return, I think we can forgive him for a brief moment of losing control, and b) [[PhantomHourglass Link getting shaken like that]] [[SkywardSword is nothing new.]] Aside from that, yeah, he gets that creepy face, but both times it appears, it's justified. In Ocarina of Time, Link has taken his products without giving him his money back. What kind of business would it be if he just let that slide? Compared to what others might do, a little nightmare face seems benign. The second time, in Majora's Mask, is during the aforementioned monumental freakout, when he was afraid that Termina's ultimate evil would bring about the apocalypse, and learned that Link hadn't followed through on his promise to get the mask back. A little anger there wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility, and he cools down as soon as Link swears to get the mask back at all costs. And finally, when he says that Link's met with a terrible fate, the first time is when Link's been robbed completely, transformed into a Deku Scrub, and trapped in another dimention due for apocolypse in 3 days, and the only other time is when the moon crashes down, in which case Link is ''experiencing'' the apocolypse. That's not evil, that's stating the obvious. If anything, he seems relatively benign from some of his lines at the ending. No real proof of evil.

*** [[PhantomHourglass The realm of the Ocean King]] is implied to be a parallel universe...[[EpilepticTrees maybe]] the apocalypse-by-moon, not prevented in this timeline because Link was busy being sealed in the Master Sword, resulted in some sort of nuclear winter [[note]]Okay, maybe [[ArtisticLicense it would fail science forever[[/note]], but that's not exactly new in the [[AWizardDidIt Zelda 'verse]]]], causing a [[TheGreatFlood Great Flood]]? Different reasons, same outcome: a destroyed world covered in water, populated by the legacies of a few survivors, some looking [[{{Expy}} strangely similar]] but apparently different people (I'm looking at you, Beedle).

** The theory also suggests that Link himself goes through the five stages of grief due to his self-exile that resulted from his friend Navi having bid him farewell (and according to Hyrule Historia and the confirmation that he eventually became the Hero's Shade in ''[[TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Princess]]'', he is unable to reach the stage of acceptance until that very game, after his descendant learns all of the Hidden Skills).

[[WMG: The Happy Mask Salesman is ShigeruMiyamoto ]]

[[WMG: Tingle is MichaelJackson]]

Going on what has been said about the mask, even though it looks like Link it has been described as being evil or at the least malevolent. My theory is that when this mask was created it used to souls instead of one for more power and since we see no counterpart for Ganondorf I believe his counterparts soul along with Links was used in it's creation.

When the owl teaches you the Song of Soaring, he notices that you're a "fairy child", and says fairy children are a rare sight nowadays.

it's been shown with the Romani Ranch sisters that counterparts from different times can coexist

[[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 mask or something), and someone played the Song of Healing, creating the Fierce Deity's Mask.

When we first find out Link isn't a Kokiri, we are told his mother fled to the forest, and Link was taken and raised along with the other forest inhabitants. The Deku Tree just assumed Link was Hylian, since he had no knowledge of Termina. In actuality, Link's mother fled from Termina for some reason (probably to escape the Lost Tribe, or because Skull Kid was annoying everyone by bitching about the giant leaving him, or whatever) and thought the safest place for her and her baby would be a different world entirely, which she assumes would be safe. Unfortunately, Hyrule is anything but safe, as we know from [=OoT=]. This would mainly explain why Link has no Termina counterpart, since he's originally from there. On top of that...
* Yes, it is explained by the Great Deku Tree(or his sapling) that Link's mother dropped Link off in Kokiri Forest. However, when you go to meet young princess Zelda for the first time, she asks you for your name. When you reply, she states that your name sounds familiar, despite her dream having no speech, as far as she explains. Also, take note of her parents. We know for a fact that with Zelda in the castle is her father, the king, but no queen. Also, if I remember this bit correctly, Link's mother was running from Ganondorf, whose plans were centered around Hyrule Castle because of its proximity to the Temple of Time.

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.

[[WMG: Its a journey about power]]

The area where Link is transformed onto a Deku Scrub has two golden triangles, the two inferior parts of the triforce, i think this means Link has attained Courage and Wisdom, but lacks power, Majora's mask is focused on side quests which is a different kind of power, the power to help, in OOT link was limited on what he could do to help, here not so much, once link leaves Termina and eventually becomes the Hero's Shade is because he attained Power, Wisdom and Courage.

[[WMG: The Fierce Deity's Mask was used to united the multiple timelines in which Link helped everyone]]

[[WMG: Cremia may be a lesbian and Anju could be the one she's really in love with]]
While the rumor about town is that Kafei and Cremia are in love with each other and that Kafei's run off to the farm to be with her, that rumor turns out to be completely false. One part of the rumor is generally assumed by fans to be true, however, and that's the part where Cremia has a crush on Kafei. There's actually no explicit evidence for this in game, at least not Kafei specifically. From what we hear from the mouths of both Cremia and Romani, all we know is that Cremia has a crush on "somebody" in town, and "that person" is getting married on the night of the carnival. There's no name or even gender explicitly stated, meaning that Romani's comment could just as easily apply to Anju as to Kafei. Furthermore, Cremia has literally next to ''nothing'' to say about Kafei despite his disappearance. Literally the only thing you can get her to say about him is her annoyed comment when you put on Kafei's mask, expressing irritation at Kafei's mother for sending you there and saying simply that "Kafei isn't here". On the other hand, she has ''everything'' to say about Anju, constantly expressing concern about her and talking about her in several instances. Balancing this out with the fact that the rumor started ''somehow'', it's pretty much ambiguous which one of the two she's really in love with.
