    Personally I think Link's statue is actually evidence of him NOT being dead. The other statues have blank dead eyes while Link's does not. I think the statue is more like a reflection of himself, showing that he is not as stoic and confident as he tries to present himself as a hero. Inside he hides fear and pain.

      Eyes are the window to the soul. The blank eyes suggest there’s nothing there, while the coloured eyes would say there’s still a soul in there. So yeah, I do agree with the assessment that Link’s statue implies he’s still alive.

    Slight clarification regarding the "ghosts" in the Romani Ranch segment.
    Those are actually aliens who's design is based on one singular reported alien encounter with an alleged alien creature dubbed the "Flat Woods Monster" and said alien actually has a good amount of of popularity in Japan to have both toys made of it along with numerous appearances in videogames.

    Every copy of majora’s mask isn’t different however every save file is actually different, and it relies on the name of the save file. Differently named save files have different star patterns in the sky during night time, that is the extent to how every save file is different unfortunately.

    • @skhotzim_bacon
      @skhotzim_bacon 2 місяці тому +3

      That's actually pretty awesome. As a star gazer, I noticed the sky looked different while watching someone else play. Initially, I just assumed the sky moved or changed each day. However, I didn't noticed that when I played again on a new save file with the same name. I assumed it was due to a difference in the game cartridge or something. This explanation is fascinating. I wonder if there are cool constellations for special names.

    Majora's mask as a game is pretty similar to the works of Edgar Allen Poe; it makes you sad but makes you be sad in a productive way.
    I didn't have the best childhood growing up and a game like majora's mask tackling such a dark subject matter actually was a weirdly effective way of confronting a lot of my emotions.

  • @CrashWeezerman

    I love Majora's Mask. To me the game feels more melancholy than creepy. I find the fan theories about Termina's & Ikana's lore more interesting than the creepy pasta theories. Why does Stone Tower Temple have a Triforce? What is the relationship of the Giants to the gods of Hyrule? Who was the tribe that created Majora's Mask? I don't really like the idea that Link was dead all along.

    I love Majora's Mask, but it's also uniquely eerie to me. I don't want to go into details as to how or why, but I lost most of my memories from roughly age 12-15. I vaguely remember being obsessed with Majora's Mask during this time. This was before the remake came out, and apparently I wanted to play it so badly that I bought a used N64 and copy of the game. (Not sure why I did this when it would have been available on the Wii Virtual Console at the time.) I have no recollection of this, it was a surprise to me years later when I found an N64 and a few games tucked away in a cabinet, and starting up the cartridge to find a save file with quite a bit of progress. I thought I had only ever played the 3D remake. Now, playing the original Majora's Mask not only brings me the feelings of sadness, doom, and hope that were intended, but something else always lingers over me too. It's a sort of uncanny nostalgia. The game feels like something I created in a dream, like it shouldn't exist and I most definitely shouldn't be able to play it. The 3ds remake doesn't conjure up these feelings, just the original.

    Majora's Mask was the first Zelda game I played on my 3ds, i always found the game extremely creepy. It would've been a simple game without the deep dive of the many characters and how melancholic it is. I like to think that it is purgatory one way or another and Link is there to help them pass on.

  • @masterseal0418
    @masterseal0418 Рік тому +11

    The sheer hopelessness of Termina as there's a couple days left before certain doom sets the tone perfectly. Before Twilight Princess and possibly Tears of the Kingdom, Majora’s Mask was the darkest Zelda game by far. The world-building, despair, and grief felt ideal for many internet theories and the infamous Ben Drowned urban legend/creepypasta. The locals you meet are aware of their fate so they had to live with it in the end, and my god the moon's face is just terrifying. Majora’s Mask continued Link's ascent into not only being the 'Hero of Time' but the savior of Termina. From the dead souls made into masks for him to inherit to the point where he became a literal giant. The game is beautifully dark and dealt with it's tone pitch perfectly; this was before the N64's end. In spite of many production issues, Majora’s Mask was so iconic that the concept of our world ending in three days appeared in many YTPs as well as the dreaded moon crashing on impact. Just as good as Ocarina of Time, but so much more in the greater sense.

    huge zelda fan here, even tho OOT was my first ever zelda i played and still watching to this day ( speedruns etc ) i always thought that MM was kinda underrated and may be the best zelda of all time. the story itself may not be that deep but the characters in the world makes it feel so alive and makes you think about it / empathize with their feelings and stories which imo is really valuable. the gameplay has nice mechanics ofc with the biggest of them giving you a time limit ( technically ). a feature that i wish i wouldve seen in more games, sure you could reset / slow down the time but when youre young things are not that obvious, also back then we didnt have the best and easiest access to the internet / informations. games back then had more mistery behind them, more love, more care .. and the zelda series but especially MM show that really well.
    thank you for this video, really enjoyed listening through it.

    I was too young to not be confused when MM came out, especially the time looping. I was also very frustrated though, I was just old enough that there was something I just couldn't comprehend. I could understand the atmosphere, that somber tone is hard to miss, even without "getting" it, but I just wasn't able to get into the game and it pissed me off lol
    Of course I've had many opportunities to appreciate it now. It's a bit vindicating to child me to know it is a deep story and it made sense that I struggled to understand it then. I always seem to ramble on when I see a video on it, so I'll try to stop now lol
    But I always appreciate hearing peoples' perspectives and personal take away from MM and, despite only knowing Ben Drowned through these kinds of videos, that story has become part of my enjoyment. So I'm excited for the next part too

    My favorite Zelda game. Over the years I come up with my own theory as to why there are similarities in faces. I think Termina is it's own world and is where the Skull kid came from. When he left, he ended up in the Lost Woods and explored Hyrule. When he returned with Majora, I think the world view became corrupted by Skull Kid's memories of people he sawr in Hyrule, at least to Link. Link sees people who look like people he's seen because his mind is filling in blanks.

    The Nintendo 64 had a old feature called stop n swap which was gonna be used for secret collectibles in banjo kazooie and other newer n64 games, so you unplug a cartridge eg: donkey dong while running and within 10 seconds plug in another eg: banjo kazooie and during that session you can play a donkey kong themed level and if you beat it you get donkey kong collectible, it was scraped and never implemented
    However on personalised copies of Mario 64 you can use this to shove in assets from other games into Mario 64 (if the cartridge has room)
    But if done the other way around, the Ali can spread (odds are it breaks the other game, unless it is similar enough to Mario 64)
    It has been known to spread to copies of ocarina of time and majoras mask, in fact it usually implements a lot of references to each other and parts of mechanics

    I think the Link mask was meant to serve as a goal for Link when he got turned into a Deku Scrub, but it made more sense for Skull Kid to take the Ocarina of Time instead since it had the power to rewind time instead making a Link mask to use the Ocarina of Time.
    Though it's strange that you get the Ocarina back only for it to turn into trumpets.

    Majoras mask is a once in a blue moon type of game. I can’t think of a single game I look to with such awe like I know everything there is to know about the game but there is so much mystery wrapped around it’s world because it’s so untraditional of a sequel. It’s the equivalent of Pokémon making a game where the kalos war actually led to the death of everyone after the mega cannon was used. And you play the game as a surviving kid of this war just slowly encountering other survivors who were less fortunate then you. And the game concludes with the final seen being the Main character confronting AZ and him leaving without so much as a word to the child. The game ends with nothing but a run down world inhabited by only desperate people trying to survive and kids who don’t know any better

    i don’t know if this was intentional or not, but some of the final hours song reminds me of the beginning score of a clockwork orange. when i think into it, alex delarge was a delinquent who affected many people’s lives with his careless pranks and ultra violence. in fact, in a similar way skull kid escalated from pranks into evil in the destruction of termina. i just wonder if they got any inspiration from that. that song is haunting, especially when the fireworks go off amidst the moon’s slow final descent. oh yeah, also the milk bar.

  • @gravitycat6862

    Now that you mention it, There is a very interesting parallell between Link and Skull Kid.
    Navi flew away without warning and with no reasom given, and Link must have felt hurt by it and worried for her leading him to travel in search of his lost fairy. This is in contrast to Skull Kid who felt hurt and anger at the giants for leaving him not realizing the reason as to why and causing his heart to fall to malicious pranks to cope. I feel like if Majora had found Link first instead of Skull Kid then it we would have had a different protagonist. It could also mean Skull Kid being Termina's Link or rather Termina's version of the Kokiri since he is accompanied by fairies which only pair themselves to Kokiri. Termina is confirmed to be a reference to airport terminals like a gate to another world.
    I know Skull Kid is in Ocarina of Time, but he is only found in the Lost Woods which is where the Kokiri dwell.

I'd like to think of Termina as a separate land from Hyrule, so manga Link actually acknowledging how everyone looks the same took me out of it. It's been years, so I don't remember anything else about it.

    A fascinating and thoughtful video! I hadn’t even considered there may be Masonic subtexts to the work. It’s got me thinking. We do use a lot of symbolism, and emblemology, which is also the case in Zelda. Incidentally, we’re not a secret society. This misconception simply comes from the fact we promise not to tell anyone what happens in the rituals of different degrees, so it stays exciting for the new guys. But I agree, Zelda’s arcane elements are possibly inspired by societies like Freemasonry, which has powerful themes of birth, learning, mortality, and resurrection. I’m a columnist for the widely available Masonic (London) magazine - I wonder what my editor would say if I pitched a piece on the relationship between the Craft and games!

    Although only finished MM once, I've always preferred going back to OoT over MM because it only took one playthrough of MM for me to realize how similar it to a modern open world rpg than a traditional Zelda game which is why I've never gone back to replaying it, as much as I love the dark side of its storyline line there's not just not enough of it within the dialogue and story of the game itself as its much more about being immersed in its open world setting and game play than it is about its dungeons and puzzles like most other Zelda games as there's only 4 main dungeons in the game. I feel like most that do love MM is typically for its similarity to modern open world game play and design rather than being being a traditional Zelda experience compared to OoT which I've always preferred to MM due to it taking what did work in Link to the Past and perfecting it in a 3D game design setting. I'm probably one of the only Zelda fans that prefers OoT over both MM and LttP but to each his own i guess.

    Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure Majoras mask was not given two years. It was given one. Originally the infamous Ura Zelda for the N64 DD was in production but quite far through into production, the majority of the team switched to the production of a standalone title, on the condition that the entire project was completed within a year, in order to make back time for all the effort lost on Ura.

    This is one of those games that won't ever come again, any remade version or game inspired by it would most likely be filled with jumpscares sadly.
    Another thing I personally love with Majora's mask is that.... as a kid, you'll most likely go back to Ocarina or something, not quite understanding the complexity of Majora, but then as you get older.... it's like the last jigsaw piece falls into place.
    As for the JVK Mod, slight error, it's not for Oblivion, it's for Morrowind!
