The Fierce Deity is probably my favorite piece of Zelda lore ever, even though I think it was originally just an excuse to somehow use adult Link's OoT model in Majora's Mask.
Kinda reminds me of when Super Sayain was only made so the colour people didn’t spend too much time on Goku hair because it would be ‘white’ in the comics
As im finally getting to the legends map mode he is honestly one of my favorites. The magic meter mechanic just keeps him so interesting for me. Especially because he calls out his rival/friend skull kid for when ya wanna.
Just a head's up: according to an interview of Aonuma, Fierce Deity is based from Japanese folklore about a vengeful protective spirit born from the hearts of the common people. Which explains why you need all the non-transformation masks just to get the FD mask: the masks you collected contain the hopes and wishes of the people you've helped in Termina.
Those arent just kids. Theyre a Buddhist metaphor for the 5 eastern elements and 5 Buddhas (even the tree in the moon is representation of the Bodhi tree). By defeating the kid with Majora's Mask, Link achieves the Brahman his ultimate self. In this case, it explains why Fierce Deity looks like an adult Link. Coz its his ultimate self.
@@WhatIsMatter101 one cool thing to think about is that in skyward sword, link also goes through a journey to unlock his ultimate self, and skyward sword also has quite a few Buddhist references like the first temple you do to purify what will be. The spirit of the hero, what each incarnation of link is reincarnated with, is the spirit of skyward sword link, who again, has unlocked his ultimate self. I believe that the fierce deity is the pure form of the spirit of the hero.
What is interesting about the Fierce Deity's mask is its the only mask with an 's. Which means it actually belongs to the Fierce deity, which according to majora is an evil even beyond him. Sometimes you need something even more evil to vanquish evil.
Sorry to ruin it but is not the only one. Like the comment above said there's and s "Majora's as well". However you also have postman's hat, great fairy's mask, Don Greo's mask, couple's mask, Kafei's mask, circus leader's mask, Romani's mask, Kamaro's mask, Garo's mask, captains hat, and giant's mask. If you exclude the 2 hats you still have 11 mask with an 's.

@@frostbaneaarvid881 But Majora isn’t an incarnation of Demise. The double helix sword wouldn’t do anything to Ganon. But I’m sure that the Master Sword would fold Majora.
12:19 I'm surprised that they went with a generic heavy sword type for the Fierce Deity Sword instead of the Yiga Clan's two-handed sword, the Windcleaver that shoots beams of wind
If I recall right doesn’t the flavour text state the FD armour and double helix sword are replicas based off the Fierce deity? (Also has anyone noticed the the Fierce deity’s mask has a possessive in its name in MM?).
That’s why breath of the wild was shit. Don’t get me wrong. I played right through the game. I admire them diverging away from the typical Zelda format but I never believed it paid off. Bring back key items and better dungeons. I only thing I recall about the dungeon bosses is that they all had blue lights or something. Not even memorable.
The Fierce Deity's Mask represents the morally nihilistic nature of the world of Termina. Outside of Hyrule, Link has no "chosen hero" status; there is no Master Sword to claim and no Zelda to guide him, both of which symbolized the inherent righteousness of his quest in previous games. He may still hold the Triforce of Courage, but there's no real reason to think that it has any meaning in Termina. In order to obtain the mask, Link must first give away all of the other masks which represent his good acts of service. He then talks to the fifth moon child, who gives him the Fierce Deity's mask, representing pure godlike power. The child presumably speaks for Majora since they wear Majora's mask, and dialogue with them seems to indicate that, like the Skull Kid, Majora is at its core a lonely kid figure. Majora-child tells Link "you're the bad guy" and things play out accordingly. Majora's forms have absolutely no chance against Fierce Deity Link. He mercilessly pounds away at Majora (who gave him the very power he is wielding), seemingly fulfilling the role of "bad guy" that was assigned to him.
I kinda disagree. Link is the hero of time. On OoT, he is a renewal and a new age free of evil. On Termina, he is the end. The whole game is about death. You spent the entire game avoiding death, in a way disturbing the natural order. Link does not give up in life and still brings a new age. As the hero of time, it is like he's giving a lesson. Time goes on. Even after your death, there will still be happyness and good times.
I love how due to system limitations, The Fierce Deity transformation in MM is just horrified adult Link's face, while in Hyrule warriors he's just *FURIOUS*, absolutely *A N G E R Y*.
Ikr? I only played Age of Calamity but it is bonkers. I like the sheika slaith abilities, the wands, and the weapons. My favorite character is Link. Whit him i do sick combos and kill grulbins in a matter of seconds and i have an op master sword.

This video is exactly what I wanted, very in-context showing of everything! The rising trend of big companies doing multi-universe stories has me hoping for a main series Zelda that does that and only revisit Majora's Mask through that. I do want a revisit to Majora's Mask with new story, but a sequel would be hard to work out and a prequel just isn't what it needs.
Of all the amiibos I ended up buying for BOTW, Majora's Mask Link was highly anticipated for me, simply so I could get a hold of that clothes set and corresponding weapon.
I remember when I spent a lot of time in majoras mask trying to get all the masks and doing everything else just so I could kick the final bosses ass as fierce deity
Since Link has existed for so long as the Hero of Hyrule, the amount of challenges he faced and the amount of time he honed his skills to face Ganon over and over it wouldn't be far fetched to say that Link's very soul has become that of a Demigod.
nice attention to detail in Hyrule Warriors that they reused OoT Adult Link's battle grunts for Fierce Deity because that's how he sounded in MM, but I fail to see why they didn't just grab the Fierce Deity armor WHICH WAS ALREADY IN BOTW for the Feirce Deity alt in Smash Ultimate
Thinking about it, would be cool if they did some twist and the gods from wherever Fierce Deity and Majora came from are also the gods and goddess that made up the Hyrule Land from OoT and are part of the ones who made the Master Sword, even if its just for a fan made Zelda game 🤔
The Fierce Deity's Sword, no contest. It does *much* more damage to enemies than the Master Sword and it makes boss battles a piece of cake. The strenght of the swings of FD sword is insane, and the light beams the FD sword releases are stronger than light arrows and the beams the Master Sword releases.
I like to think about those things in terms of meaning. The Master sword is the weapon the hero of time uses to keep balance, to fulfill destiny. The Fierce Deity is... death. The biggest power of time is bringing the end of things. That is why FD is so scary and powerful. And rare in zelda games, as it is hella difficult to put it to use while keeping the hero being the good guy.
Lol the fact that he’s almost as tall as the first boss of majoras mask is hilarious. When you play as normal link in majoras mask the first boss looks huge
I have to wonder if Nobuyuki Hiyama wasn't available when they were doing the voice work for Young Link's character in Hyrule Warriors, since they WERE able to call back Fujiko Takimoto for his base form...
The armor now also in Tears of the Kingdom, you can find the pieces of it by exploring. Theres also a quest that gives you hints about the locations of it.
Get yourself an emulator, and use the cheats that come with it that makes it able to use the mask anywhere. Sometimes you just got to treat yourself on some good time. :)
sometimes i think that Link doesn`t even control the powers of the Fierce Deity since his body and mind changes so much. but on the end the Fierce Deity sealed inside the mask gives control to Link again since he doesnt want to lose a perfect vessel. So basically Link and FD Link are Sukuna and Itadori from the Nintendo Universe.
Something I find interesting is how the Fierce Deity Link Spirit in SSBU is on Darkons side and in that specific area, it was split between good and evil characters. Is it because that the mask holds the same destructive powers as Majora's Mask? But even then, the Fierce Deity Link is fighting for good. If anything, he should be on the side of light with Majora's Mask on the side of evil.
Just here thinking If they ever get around to hard rebooting Zelda series, or try and make a more focused timeline Would love to see Fierce Deity play a major role Maybe have him be the first Link, or Courage true form (like Gannon has pig-beast as his Power form) Or even just simply use to expand the world, maybe past the borders in BotW/TotK, etc
If link did not have that skin, it would be perfect if the fierce deity was part of the fighter pass 2 taking into account that it is the 35th anniversary of zelda
The aesthetic of Majora’s Mask is unmatched to this day. As a now Theosophist who was tried to be raised Christian this hecking game takes up even a portion of my spiritual beliefs. I attribute the fact that I excelled in English at school and in life around many other second language students because I liked this game in particular early in my life. I always have such memories of those Gods or whatever they were considered in the cut scenes roaring the way they did in the cut scenes. That game is spiritual. Even the side quests should be looked at to this day to anyone who wants to know what in this world needs saving and preservation. Just unmatched unbelievably good.
The gods are the four giants? They inspired awe on young me. I played their song literally everywhere searching for effects, but it only works on the endgame.
Is Fierce Deity Link the coolest Link of all time?

The Fierce Deity is probably my favorite piece of Zelda lore ever, even though I think it was originally just an excuse to somehow use adult Link's OoT model in Majora's Mask.
They used his model and made it so much bigger lol. Plus was good hearing his voice again as well, I was shocked when I first wore the mask.

I love majoras mask it’s probably my favorite Zelda game
The 3ds version was the first zelda game I completed and I enjoyed it
Of all the amiibos I ended up buying for BOTW, Majora's Mask Link was highly anticipated for me, simply so I could get a hold of that clothes set and corresponding weapon.
I remember when I spent a lot of time in majoras mask trying to get all the masks and doing everything else just so I could kick the final bosses ass as fierce deity
First thing I did with it was go back and fuck up Twinmold cause fuck the Giant's Mask
I love the added touch that they use Nobuyuki Hiyama's voice for Fierce Deity in Hyrule Warriors.
You can spam Fierce deity in Hyrule warriors if you upgrade him good
I once managed 1000 kills before I finally ran out. Young Link is absolutely broken
@@5223142 a few days ago I managed 4500 KO’s with a single magic meter, it was the best moment I’ve had in hyrule warriors
@@Aniboiii5600 you just got to have magic fountain then hes unstoppable
Since Link has existed for so long as the Hero of Hyrule, the amount of challenges he faced and the amount of time he honed his skills to face Ganon over and over it wouldn't be far fetched to say that Link's very soul has become that of a Demigod.
That poor bokoblin you can hear getting electrocuted in the botw clip though
He's only in like 3 games. Majora's Mask, Hyrule warriors, and botw.
I like to think that one day maybe we’ll get a game about the war with Demise and we’ll get a backstory on the Fierce Deity from that game
This Fierce Deity form is crazy, i love it. ⭐👍
nice attention to detail in Hyrule Warriors that they reused OoT Adult Link's battle grunts for Fierce Deity because that's how he sounded in MM, but I fail to see why they didn't just grab the Fierce Deity armor WHICH WAS ALREADY IN BOTW for the Feirce Deity alt in Smash Ultimate
2:26
OHHH that's soooo cool!!! A fast and faint version of The Song of Time plays and resets the stage!
I love shit like that, the small details.
What a really nice op transformation love it :)
Oh man seeing that brawl gameplay reminds me of playing that game on a sideways wii remote
Ew, you always had to play with a nunchuck, or upgrade to the gamecube controller. Wii remote only is horrible
I always liked the 3ds version better because there is a really easy glitch to be Fierce Deity Lunk whenever you want
9:45 Bro let out the most blood-curdling scream only to get up less than 5 seconds later 😭
Seeing adorable young Link turning into this beast is so funny, I love it 😂
I wonder which sword is more powerful? The fierce deity sword or the master sword?
Probably deity
Depends on which game you go by, but normally the fierce deity sword is stronger
Thinking about it, would be cool if they did some twist and the gods from wherever Fierce Deity and Majora came from are also the gods and goddess that made up the Hyrule Land from OoT and are part of the ones who made the Master Sword, even if its just for a fan made Zelda game 🤔
The Fierce Deity's Sword, no contest. It does *much* more damage to enemies than the Master Sword and it makes boss battles a piece of cake. The strenght of the swings of FD sword is insane, and the light beams the FD sword releases are stronger than light arrows and the beams the Master Sword releases.
I like to think about those things in terms of meaning.
The Master sword is the weapon the hero of time uses to keep balance, to fulfill destiny.
The Fierce Deity is... death. The biggest power of time is bringing the end of things.
That is why FD is so scary and powerful. And rare in zelda games, as it is hella difficult to put it to use while keeping the hero being the good guy.
Fierce deity link is the greatest of all time
Oh my gawd this look sooo cool 😩💕
Lol the fact that he’s almost as tall as the first boss of majoras mask is hilarious. When you play as normal link in majoras mask the first boss looks huge
I have to wonder if Nobuyuki Hiyama wasn't available when they were doing the voice work for Young Link's character in Hyrule Warriors, since they WERE able to call back Fujiko Takimoto for his base form...
Hey do you think you can do an Hyrule Warriors Oufits Comparison or An Evolution Toon Link Next Please
I don't think I will do the Hyrule Warriors video but I will do a Toon Link Evolution (not next but someday).
@@BeardBear finally somebody remembers me
The armor now also in Tears of the Kingdom, you can find the pieces of it by exploring. Theres also a quest that gives you hints about the locations of it.
That was probably one of the best Lynel takedowns I've ever seen. Made it look like a cake walk
7:42 best part eva 😍
Fierce deity mask would have been great to use outside of boss battles normally as a better reward for getting all the masks.
Get yourself an emulator, and use the cheats that come with it that makes it able to use the mask anywhere. Sometimes you just got to treat yourself on some good time. :)
sometimes i think that Link doesn`t even control the powers of the Fierce Deity since his body and mind changes so much.
but on the end the Fierce Deity sealed inside the mask gives control to Link again since he doesnt want to lose a perfect vessel.
So basically Link and FD Link are Sukuna and Itadori from the Nintendo Universe.
So glad Nobuyuki Hiyama returned to voice this guy in later Zelda installments.
If this Link hit a regular enemy, it would kill it in 1 hit and kill the reincarnations after it.
@5:16 *Link transforms into Fierce Deity*
Scout captain Immediately calls for support
Toon fierce deity Link is adorable.
Link looks Cool and Edgy in his Fierce Deity Form.
Bro the fierce deity skins look so much better in all others smash games compared to ultimate
beardbear my fav pro smash player from the gamer youtube channel
始めてやったゼルダがムジュラの仮面(3DS)で、写し絵の箱のバグ使ってずーっと鬼神だったなぁ…今となったら始めの三日間(強制デク族)で月の涙取ったあと展望台からの出方が分からなくって月落ちてゲームオーバーしたのはいい思い出…
Something I find interesting is how the Fierce Deity Link Spirit in SSBU is on Darkons side and in that specific area, it was split between good and evil characters. Is it because that the mask holds the same destructive powers as Majora's Mask? But even then, the Fierce Deity Link is fighting for good. If anything, he should be on the side of light with Majora's Mask on the side of evil.
It's probably because Nintendo, in classic fashion, kinda forgot they were doing that in the first place and went for it.
Simple the fierce deity is a dark power not evil but something that attracts darkons
We haven't hear of this boy since majora's mask
link turn into a GOD and everyone just forgot about that
The Hyrule Warriors one makes it feel like "Rules of Nature" should be playing...
i really love the idea of link being a masquerador.
Easily the strongest form of link. The dude is a fucking god of war.
Fierce Deity Link is Link’s awesome alter ego!
a little (but late) mention, the last fight against the spirit in ssbU that was really good :P
Just here thinking
If they ever get around to hard rebooting Zelda series, or try and make a more focused timeline
Would love to see Fierce Deity play a major role
Maybe have him be the first Link, or Courage true form (like Gannon has pig-beast as his Power form)
Or even just simply use to expand the world, maybe past the borders in BotW/TotK, etc
If link did not have that skin, it would be perfect if the fierce deity was part of the fighter pass 2 taking into account that it is the 35th anniversary of zelda
What of by some miracle, they find a way to bring the fierce deity's mask back in Botw 2.
I love fierce deity link and Majora's Mask as a whole. The mask turns him into an actual god (at least within termina standards)
12:46 fun fact: that lynels flameblade is a reskined torch
The aesthetic of Majora’s Mask is unmatched to this day. As a now Theosophist who was tried to be raised Christian this hecking game takes up even a portion of my spiritual beliefs. I attribute the fact that I excelled in English at school and in life around many other second language students because I liked this game in particular early in my life. I always have such memories of those Gods or whatever they were considered in the cut scenes roaring the way they did in the cut scenes. That game is spiritual. Even the side quests should be looked at to this day to anyone who wants to know what in this world needs saving and preservation. Just unmatched unbelievably good.
The gods are the four giants?
They inspired awe on young me.
I played their song literally everywhere searching for effects, but it only works on the endgame.
write a book omg
First words that came to mind:
*Edgy Link*
The hardest thing about majoras fight is not the fight itself but enduring the camera view 9:55
5:54 This is insanely beautiful!
Hyrule Warriors is the best and "definitive" (I'm not sorry '-') way to experiece Fierce Deity Link....mans is an aboslute menace.
Can we get a Fierce Deity Game Nintendo?
When Young Link was added to HW it quickly became my favorite character to play
Love seeing Fierce Deity Link slash that stupid moon on half along with Skull Lid in Hyrule Warriors. Beat looking Fierce Deity to this day.
Evolution of Losing in Mario Kart Games (1992-2021)
Always thought FD Link and Shadow Link are the same.
but looks like FD is from Majoras Mask (only played MM for like 15 minutes)
Every time I become Fierce Deity, I like to repeat Gozer's question to Ray from Ghostbusters:
"Are you... a God?"
he’s so cool 😩😭
I wish the fierce deity was in hyrule warriors: Age of calamity.
it would be really cool if we got a game about fierce deity. like the origin of it.
