Title: Re: Majora's Mask game play notes
Post by: connorwf on September 25, 2013, 08:58:57 pm
journey in search of a friend:  Navi the Fairy

opens in lost woods

Skull kid:  boy lost in the lost woods:  2 fairies:  reflection?
-I just thought I'd have a little fun with you

Tree Link enters:  covered in mushrooms:  Dead or dying world?

in the room where there's a transformation, the ceiling light forms the image of 3 triangles, reminiscent of the triforce, but in a different pattern


Alex:  The deku:  turned into a tree by skull kid:  You become him using the Deku Mask

When you enter the clock tower, the hall twists and contorts:  like entering a new world

painting in clock tower:  goddess of time?

Happy MAsk salesman
"you've met with a terrible fate haven't you?"  (unavoidable?  planned?)
has to leave in 3 days:  knows that the world may be destroyed?
"bring it back to me before my time is up"
similar laugh to the skull kid


Majora's mask:  Five stages of grief

1. top of the clock tower as deku:  song of time:  denial
2. swamp: at the monkey: anger
3. Mountain village: Darmani begs you to bring him back to life:  barganing
4. Great Bay:  Lulu is depressed from the loss of her children
5. Ikana


http://www.zeldainformer.com/news/themes_in_motion_majoras_mask_and_the_five_stages_of_grief
similar style clothes to the skull kid:  pointed shoes



Moons tear:  why is the skull kid after it?


clock tower is a lighthouse


swamp mountain ocean canyon  (4)


When link is thrown off epona while chasing the skull kid, he may have died


ocarina:  precious thing:  transforms with each character

Happy mask:
organ suddenly appears
song of healing:  melody that heals evil magic and troubled spirits, turning them into masks
freaks out when he doesnt get the mask back
"What have you done to me!"


majoras mask:  used by an ancient tribe in hexig ritual
evil and wicked power is bestowed upon the one that wears the mask

ancient ones sealed the mask
could have caused the apocalypse already?  destroyed ikana?  started the war that killed links parents in the first place?

"time is not eternal.  please make the most of your time"

Termina:  organized like a clock face

Trees in front of the swamp:  dead or cut down:  deforestation?

Skull Kid clearly rcognizes you:  from OoT: sarias song plays: dimension hopper:  like Happy Mask Salesman?
-HMS seen in lost woods:  can travel without becoming skullkid/stalfos UNLESS...?

Tingle = Link without a fairy or call to adventure
-"I think I am the same as you, sir!  a forest fairy!  Alas, though I am already age 35, no fairy has come to me yet"
-"I tell you, tingle is the very reincarnation of a fairy!


The twinrova:  Since the goddesses, the triforce and, by extension, Gandorf never came to be, the Twin Rova, immortals, who would not be changed very much by the timeline, are benign magicians.  They even have the same name

Clock town fairy:  Great Fairy of Magic
Woodfall:  great fairy of power
snowhead:  great fairy of wisdom
great bay:  courage
Ikana: kindness

Link doesn't answer who he is


Kaeppora Gaebora
"the swamp you are in has lost it's guardian deity, but it was destined to fade anyway"
-"change the destiny of this land"


The indi-gogos, the zora band, have a song called "ballad of the wind fish", a reference to Link's awakening.  The events of the other games are fiction in this world?
-"you would have been able to hear it if the show weren't cancelled"  apocalypse reference?  If the world didn't turn their back on the gods, prompting the end of the world, the timeline would be corrected?





Mayors chair:  horns, creepy mask similar to the moon:  pagan throne?  demonic symbolism?  commentary on power?


Grinning thief:  Happy Mask Salesman?

All four areas are turning into worlds where no life can exist:
-woodfall:  poison swamp
-Snowhead:  ice
-great bay:
-Ikana:  already dead


Darmani:  Goron hero, descendent of heroes.  Veteran?  War?
-died trying to save his people
-when his soul is healed, gorons cheer for him.  Desires recognition?  To know that his sacrifice? brought happiness to others?
-when he saves the day, the gorons do in fact cheer for him
-becomes tribe patriarch

Giants:  Protective gods:  Guardians:  in temples


Strict, racially divided land
-not always that way (long ago when all the people weren't separated into four worlds"

Clock town carnival of time:  once a harvest festival

imp (skull kid) knew the giants before the worlds were divided
-banished by the giants
-giants worshipped as gods for their action:  but not really gods



undead soldiers want nothing more to be released from their duty, which carries on into death
-locked into endless war


scattered throughout Ikana:  images of men/demons defiling the triforce
-besides the hero shield, the only appearance of the trifoce in the game

Gorons:  naturally isolated, friendly but ready to go to war to defend themselves
-long lived (elder goron), would have kept to the old ways:  Goron's ruby appears





Flat ans sharp:
-sharp sold his soul to the devil and sealed his brother away
-"you've remembered the song of storms" - blows curses away
-links memory is damaged?
-flat and sharp wrote the songs in Hyrule too, they exist in both worlds: 



All nights mak:
a torture device of imsomnia

Keaton mask:
Sheikah stone says that Keaton was popular with children long ago:  is majora's mask the future?

Gibdo mask:
Pamela's father is forced to wear the gibdo mask


Owl and Salesman:  try to instill fait

belief:  heavy theme in Majora's mask


The moon is crashing on it's own, Skull Kid is only looking at it

Mikau just wants to play with his band... and lulu.  For everyone at clock town



Great bay:  water temperature rises:  threatens to kill sensitive zora eggs:  water is murky, stormy (dragon cloud): sea snakes:  eels


really sad looking man buys the skulltula house in great bay
-to kill himself?
-"not gonna need wallet much longer"


if you leave things the way they are, bad things will happen to this world
surely that's why Tael wanted us to find you
-help our friend


Garo's:  spied on the blood-stained hilltop castle:  from an enemy nation

Garos ask:  What are you
-belief or disbelief ress with you.  To die without leaving a corpse, that is the way of us garo

Ikana:  place where troubled, regretfull spirits gather


mysterious cloaked man can read people hearts

Sharp:  wanted to revive the royal family
-cursed
-only one who knows the way into the temple

we dead should not be lingering in this lad

Takkuri:  bird who steals your items



Tortus:  Anju's father



carnival of time:  Sun and moon are in alignment:  season of harmony
-nature and time:  tirelessly progressing
-ask for rich harvest


Demons aren't afraid unless they see something that looks the same as themselves


gibdos:  lingering regretful spirits of greed

petty little battles destroyed Ikana:  Civil War?

Igos Du Ikana

Stone tower wasn't built:  the doors were opened:  the 4 races broke in in order to climb to heaven

Garo Master:
-rearrange things, in which the earth is born in the heavens and the moon is born on the earth


Ikana canyon music becomes hyrule theme song when saved



long ago, all the people weren't separate
four giants lived among them
because the giants banished the skullkid, they were worshipped as gods


sharp:  sun on his forhead
flat: moon

Mayor's office:  filled with terrifying, evil looking masks


Moon Children:
resemble happy mask salesman
-Masks... you have... a lot.  You, too...  Will you be... a mask salesman?
-when you give them a species mask:  "not that.  quickly put it away"

the moon children are all playing with each other, except the one with the majora mask
-represents skull kid and the giants?
-kids all wear remains:  found in boss rooms at the end of dungoens


Majora kid:
-everyone has gone away haven't they
-you're the bad guy.  And when your bad, you just run, right?

Majoras wrath looks very similar to the face in the stone tower


Salesman looks disappointed that the power of the mask is gone
