    Behind the Fierce Deity's Mask

    In The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, the last mask we can receive is the Fierce Deity's Mask. I see several theories based on what the Fierce Deity's Mask is supposed to be or represent. Most of the theories I see can work with other theories without contradiction. I take popular...

    Spoiler The Boss Remains (Majora's Mask) are akin to Transformation Masks, and thus the Fierce Deity's Mask was supposed to turn Link evil.

    It looks like multiple interpretations can coexist here without contradiction. Can the corruption angle not work as an artifact whose power corrupts, not necessarily because it's evil, but because it's just too powerful to handle? The power of a Buddhist fierce deity would probably be dark for...

    Spoiler My views on the timeline placement of BotW/TotK.

    Oh, I was thinking my idea of a "contradiction" was stricter. Before going forward then, I'll say upfront that while I might find an idea stupid and not implied, I'll only call it a contradiction if it goes against anything officially stated, but not if it goes against something many people...

    Thoughts on amiibo/DLC items in BotW/TotK now that TotK treats them...differently...?

    I agree with this 100%, but I don't know how far it can take us. To know more about it, we need the games themselves to point us in a direction, but Nintendo doesn't want to do that. It's up to us to weigh evidences, and what evidence has more "weight" than others is subjective. I'd say, as a...

    Impa in Zelda 1 and Zelda 2

    Same here, I'm convinced. I had a headcanon that the Old Man is also a sage, like Sahrasrahla or Aginah or Rauru.

    Thoughts on amiibo/DLC items in BotW/TotK now that TotK treats them...differently...?

    I think there's some confusion on items being in the game and the backstories of those items being canon. Obviously, the Nintendo Switch isn't a game console in the world of Hyrule, but there is a shirt in Hyrule that looks like the Switch logo, it's just that the logo means nothing to the...

    Spoiler My views on the timeline placement of BotW/TotK.

    Contradictions in lore, to my understanding, are when officially stated elements are contradicted. Do you find Z2 to contradict Z1 for having another Zelda? As in, a lore contradiction? I don't recall anything from Zelda 1 saying that there weren't any other Zeldas/kingdoms. At the time, did...

    Spoiler My views on the timeline placement of BotW/TotK.

    Yeah I can't argue Zelda has a healthy lore with the Fallen Hero timeline. Thinking about unhealthy lore, I'm reminded of Nintendo approving ZE saying Termina is a dream world... Just to be clear, which entries have hard contradictory lore in the official timeline? I feel most of the games are...

    Spoiler My views on the timeline placement of BotW/TotK.

    I actually liked the clue searching and the clue finding from others, it was like putting together a puzzle (albeit, one where some pieces don't fit as snug as they should, and with missing pieces we would've never found without external sources), but I still found enjoyment in it. In my...

    A Majora's Mask Theory

    I'd say the mask gained its own sentience the same way the Fused Shadow/Mirror of Twilight shards have their own 'sentience', meaning Majora is a name of the dark power that became a figure, more than it would be referring to a character. Bringing up how "Majora" came out of the mask reminded...

    Spoiler My views on the timeline placement of BotW/TotK.

    It seems subjective whether something is a cheeky easter egg or a significant lore detail. In my opinion, Agahnim being a nightmare boss for Link in LA is a significant clue to what this particular Link may have experienced in the past, and I'd extend this to other bosses/characters on the...

    Spoiler Random theories

    Question: Has there been anything solid derived from Ghirahim resembling the Gilded Sword? The most I can think of is Zubora and Gabora making swords in relation to darkness/evil, as if the design of the Gilded Sword was based off Ghirahim, since their signatures are on Phantom Ganon's sword...

    Name unnamed locations

    In OoT, in Gerudo Valley, you can use Silver Gauntlets to lift a gray(silver?) boulder on the entrance edge of the valley (around where the wooden sign is) for a secret grotto. There's a little pond with rupees in it with Inside the Deku Tree music playing. I name this Quietedge Splash, since it...

    BotW 2 E3 trailer

    Oh that's somewhat of a relief! I hope the sky pieces aren't just ruins but actual places to explore and that the new constructions have good amount of content with it. Maybe we'll even get to help on some construction like in Tarrey Town.

    BotW 2 E3 trailer

    I have some issue with the way they presented it. I feel like this teaser would've hit much harder if it was at the very end, after the farewells, without saying it was BotW 2, pretty much exactly how they did in 2019 for the first BotW 2 teaser. We all would've been expecting it to be that, of...
