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...

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

So many games have tried to copy the BotW artstyle since BotW that Link's new open shoulder design gives me knock-off BotW clone vibes. I already know I'll get the game as of now so the trailer didn't do much to push me into a purchase. It felt like, in a way, that not much was shown off. I did...

most theories i saw said it would be underground, the exact opposite haha It's interesting that Skyward Sword to BotW (winter 2011 to spring 2017) has been shorter than BotW is to BotW 2 (winter 2022) is expected to be, and i'm confident in a delay too lol

Yeah, that makes sense. The game definitely has little railroads to follow leading up to the Divine Beast. I would still give more significance to the Shrines in the end since there are just so many of them across the map, many having their own 'Shrine Quests' as well.

I see a lot of 'playable Zelda' buzz but her exploring with Link and the short hair really isn't enough for me to expect that. Is there anything else from Age of Calamity, where Zelda actually is playable, that adds to the idea? It's not like Tetra was playable after WW or- wait a minute....

This is how the game calculates the completion rating: Divine Beast: 0.08% each * 4 = 0.32% Shrines: 0.08% each * 120 = 9.60% Named Locations: 0.08% or 0.09% * 226 = 18.08% Korok Seeds: 0.08% * 900 = 72% I get that Nintendo wanted to make it clear how getting 100% is far from necessary with...

Is the Labrynna/Holodrum being a different dimension thing more clear in the JP Encyclopedia? The english one doesn't see to say anything about that. https://archive.org/details/TheLegendOfZeldaEncyclopedia/page/n35/mode/2up I'd prefer the 'Greater Hyrule' idea as well where BotW's Hyrule is...

Ehh, they left us in the dark on how ALttP could be a sequel to OoT with both TP and WW being incompatible continuations of OoT until HH. It's not like ALttP or OoT suggests the defeat of the Hero of Time, for example. Nintendo canonizing things that aren't suggested in game is nothing new...

Since the mask was dormant in ALBW, I assumed something defeated it (maybe someone Link would receive inheritance from). If it was moonfall that put Lorule in its state, there would be more mention of it than the absence of the Triforce (unless the absence of the Triforce led to Majora's Mask's...

Ah, I see, "It's a little unusual for a Zelda game, but it's the same hero.". This is one of those things I can easily see being retconned later like ALttP/OoX/LA was, haha. I didn't take the artstyle as an indicator of everything, just followed the pre-WW pattern that artstyle consistencies...

this but unironically ngl, i have this headcanon in the back of my mind i saw kafei as a parallel to link's situation at the end of OoT (matured adult inside a child's body), so with termina being in the same dimensional plane as lorule also in my headcanon, it made sense that the two would be...

For TFH, is there anything besides a NOA tweet saying they are the same character? Someone showed me something from one of the official guidebooks where Aonuma changed it last minute to be Toon Link, as if this change meant it was a different Link. I haven't played the game myself; is there a...

I wanna bring up the Oracles' games placements again after seeing other posts around the forum and this article: https://www.zeldadungeon.net/reconsidering-the-oracle-games-within-the-zelda-timeline/. I think there are valid reasons to see OoX as a direct prequel to LA, but it is edged out by...

I think it's when it comes to canon sources and "dev intent" for theories, like with if ALttP/OoX/LA makes more sense or if ALttP/LA - OoX makes more sense. I think this is mainly for timeline debates, as I've seen this similar trend for plenty of other timeline segments: OoT being a direct...

I've learned to Windbomb! I've also got a cool recording of me riding on a Guardian's head going to another Guardian, then backflipping off my Guardian ride as the other one shoots a laser into my ride Guardian's head. This was at the North Akkala Beach.

I've started MM on Wii U and am having a blast playing it with a GC controller (Wiimote Classic Controller adapter). I wish there was a controller with 6 face buttons to nicely play both modern and N64 games.

You know how there are rock rings where you have to fill in a gap with a rock? And you know those sparkles you have to chase to get the Korok? I'd be a sparkle hiding under one of the rocks in a ring where all the rocks can be lifted up, but I'll run to the next rock as soon as mine is picked up...

A direct sequel to TP would be nice since the start of the other timeline splits got direct sequels themselves (ALttP/LA, WW/PH). Going by that trend, maybe TP Link's second adventure would involve some sort of cosmic whale deity...

"He later learned that the townsfolk had evacuated to safety, and that the ReDeads were just magic animated into hideous humanoid shapes." To be honest, I can't remember learning in-game that Redeads were clay, but Triforce Heroes has Redeads that are more clay-blobs than human. My headcanon is...

each main character represents a different mental disorder EDIT: forgot that this was almost the basis for that Majora's Mask "Link is dead" theory lol

The "literal legends" theory is down there with cartoon characters being in a coma/dying/dead the whole time, or cartoons being "post apocalyptic".

Here's that 2008 source for anyone interested!: https://www.zeldadungeon.net/wiki/Interview:Nintendo_Power_November_2008 Eiji Aonuma: "Each of the races has a character fated to become on the sages later on. We named them after towns in The Adventure of Link so it would appear that the towns had...

I want the materials to have much more use. There's 999 spaces in one slot of an item. This seems a bit unnecessary. I wish there were more trading sequences where you need to collect a lot of material like with Tarrey Town and wood or maybe you could make arrows or your own weapons to use up...

In the Future, I just imagined it's still in Link's inventory, like his Bombs and Deku Nuts. It was just impractical for him to be using the Kokiri breadknife on enemies, so it was just kept in his inventory. Why not the Boomerang? I don't really know (besides gameplay purposes), but maybe as an...

I saw Rauru as part of the bloodline like a great-great uncle of Zelda's or something because of the SS Gaepora references

Don't worry about it! It's good. At the end of OoT, the people of Hyrule thought that Link traveled to the future to save them, when he was really in a coma. A big part about WW was the people of Hyrule expecting the Hero of Time to travel through time again to save them, not that he would...

I also want to throw in my headfanon time. I'm not the first to make it, as it's practically darklink01's/Voo_Bopo's/talonmalon333's/mαrkαsscoρ's Mixed/Balanced Split Timeline. Adult: SS - OoT - WW/PH - ST - TMC - FS - FSA - TFH Child: SS - OoT/MM - TP - ALttP/OoX/LA - ALBW - TLoZ/TAoL - BotW...

Link only changes the timeline at the end, when he talks to Zelda with the Triforce of Courage. Whatever original Link was in this timeline got their conscious erased (like X-Men DofP) and their body probably teleported to the Temple of Time for the future Link's conscious to inhabit. Link has...

I think this post would've been better in the already made Timeline discussion thread. Also, you can reply to multiple people in the same message by quoting. I'm going to go out on a limb and assume none of us are time travellers or quantum won-ton physicists. As for "how time works", here's a...

Link wishing for the undoing of evil before his time, to where they don't even affect his era but another timeline (in addition to undoing evil for his era), doesn't make as much sense as the wish just affecting his era to me. Also, the past era he affected led to another timeline split where...

If the uncle and king are revived, it means Link wished for Ganon's evil to be undone from the events of ALttP. Why would Link wish to undo Ganon's victory in the far past? There's two different points in time where Link's wish "undos" Ganon's evil for Triforce Wish theory to explain the...

Exactly, so the wish was aimed at ALttP's events (reversing the uncle and king's death) rather than events farther back, otherwise the king and uncle wouldn't have been revived in ALttP's timeline. Unless Link aimed his wish at both the past and present, but not future?

I saw that wish only undoing Ganon's evil in terms of the timespan of the events of ALttP (bringing back his uncle, the King, etc) since Ganon's evil still continues later down the Downfall timeline (getting revived by his minions, who would've been led by Ganon's evil before). If it was for a...

I was never that big of a fan of having FSA as a prequel for ALttP (doesn't fit well with ALttP's backstory), but with FS being pre-OoT, it's the only place it could have gone post-TP with Nintendo sticking to their own dev interviews (which HH and ZE do). I've been told that we still don't know...

I was thinking that the separation of OoT and the IW was clean enough to allow the events of TP to unfold in between OoT and ALttP. I didn't see it as breaking the OoT-ALttP connection since TP kept a lot of OoT in it, while doing things like showing a bunch of ethereal old man sages (showing...

I still see ALttP working after TP. In TP, Ganondorf was still human. Him temporarily turning into Dark Beast Ganon is short of our average lasting pig Ganon IMO. OoT Ganondorf still had wizarding powers to shoot electro balls and stuff, so he's similar enough to our TP Ganon. Not quite...
