I was playing Majora's Mask the other day and noticed something odd that I previously had payed no attention to or noticed.
At the beginning of the game, Link who is clearly from Hyrule is riding on Epona, also clearly from Hyrule. Before even passing into Termina, the Skull Kid steals Epona, then states he "got rid of her". Now this is obviously a sinisterly censored method of saying "killed", however later in the game you find Epona again in Romani Ranch, which always made me assume the Skull Kid actually just let her into the wild or something.
But could this have actually been an alternate version of Epona? The Epona of Termina?
I hadn't thought of this until now, but I really think this is the case. There's no way the Skull Kid could have released Epona into the wild in an underground tunnel filled with chasms, and his wording and the delivery during that moment was incredibly sinister. So then the Skull Kid must have killed Epona and Link simply found Termina's equivalent.
Thoughts? Do you think this is the case? And what did you think when you first played through the game? Am I late to the party figuring this out?
