People who are saying that there is no ingame evidence to make the theory viable are simply not looking hard enough. Look at Bellum's eyes, people...they're completely identical down to the smallest photoshop pixel. Not to mention his purplish hue and his ability to possess people... Also, Bellum's character motivations are largely unknown and unpredictable, as was Majoras. ("Bellum" is also latin for war while the name "Majora" may stem from Major.)
Said people are probably reading too much into things. I think it's safe to say there are hundreds of characters in the
Zelda series who share similar aesthetics. This can be the result of several reasons. It could an easter egg, reference, or nothing but mere coincidence. (see Ghirahim (debbie)=Vaati theories) Also, the Fused Shadows of
Twilight Princess also bears likeness to Majora's Mask, and I personally find a connection between them more credible than Majora/Bellum. Another thing, Majora's motivations were a bit sketchy, but I surmise he was feeding off the emotions of the Skull Kid whom seemed to be consumed by sadness and other strong emotions. Bellum was more into consuming Life Force to become all powerful, hence his interest in Tetra. Regarding the names, "Majora" is simply a small change from its Japanese name "Mujura", while Bellum's name is indeed Latin for "war", it can also relate to the word "flower" from which the word "cere
bellum" shares roots; this would make sense given his ability to possess others.
How do you explain the co-existence of Kiboli and that other postman from world of the ocean king? In OOT/MM era, there were also two postmen, but one lived in Termina and was a parallel duplicate. In WW/PH era, Kiboli is implied to be a descendant of a postman, possibly the one from Minish Cap, while the postman with wings from PH likely is a descendant of MM's postman. (I'm not going to get into whether they were reincarnated, because it really doesn't change my point very much. There are still 2 postman descendants in this time period that clearly came from different ancestry.)
Given the complexity of your statements combined with lack of strong in-game elements, save for a small entry from
WW, which states Koboli is a descendant of a postman, I can readily tell you that you are simply reading too much into things. To be honest, the postmen - generally insignificant NPCs - are not strong sources of evidence to begin with.
The people who are claiming that WOTOK is just another sea next to Hyrule are also disregarding a lot of evidence. What kind of sea is only accessible from a ghost ship? Why would sailing to a new sea have the effect of resetting time when you came back? WOTOK is no normal sea, it is magically separated from Hyrule by the ghost ship and works on a different temperal clock. Lawyered.
But I have a difficult time ignoring
AONUMA. Also read this:
The World of the Ocean King isn't actually an alternate dimension.
Nintendo Dream: How far from The Wind Waker's sea does this game take place?
Hidemaro Fujibayashi: Right next to it.
Nintendo Dream: Is it that close?!
Hidemaro Fujibayashi: Well, it takes place during their journey after leaving the waters of The Wind Waker.
Eiji Aonuma: We can have an unlimited number of stories in the Zelda series. A new adventure may be waiting for them if they just wander into the sea next to the one they're sailing (laughs).
Seriously,
kroni... If anything, all that mystical, ghostly stuff is likely the result of a magical aura or something that resonates from the Ocean King, NOT an alternate dimension...
You're attempting to support your theory with more theories, which doesn't work...
Theories deal in facts.
