The strangest link I've ever seen in the Zelda games is the link between Midna's mask and Majora's Mask. You'll probably know they look awfully familiar.
Now why would that mask with the ancient power show such a great resemblance with Majora's Mask?
This is a theory from zeldawiki.org
"One thing questioned about Midna's appearance in her primary form is the fragment of the Fused Shadows on her head, which features an eye closely resembling the eyes on Majora's Mask, insinuating that the Fused Shadows and maybe even the Twili had something to do with the monster Majora that was destroyed. This could also mean that Midna's transformed figure (with the aid of the Fused Shadows) could be that of the Majora beast."
And here it is again in the article of Majora's Mask:
"Majora (ムジュラ, Mujura) was an evil being plaguing Termina in ancient times. Though the game doesn't give much specific history on the origins of Majora's Mask, it does state that in ancient times, the mask was worshiped by an ancient tribe who used it in rituals involving the casting of hexes and curses, until they finally sealed it away from the world in the hopes that its evil power would not be unleashed ever again[1]. Hundreds of years later is was sought out and found by the Happy Mask Salesman. Soon afterwards, the Skull Kid scared the Salesman unconscious and stole the mask from the salesman and began to access its power, awakening the consciousness of the mask.
It has also been suggested by some that the "ancient and evil" tribe is perhaps referring to the ancestors of the Twili, a race whose existence was revealed in Twilight Princess, due to similarities between an ancient object created by the Twili dubbed the Fused Shadow and Majora's Mask, as they share similar powers and they have a similar design. Also, Zant's fighting style in the eighth dungeon of Twilight Princess is similar to that of Majora's Mask, in fluidity, style, and spontaneity."
And this is a direct quote from the Happy Mask Salesman in Majora's mask:
“The mask that was stolen from me… It is called Majora’s Mask.
It is an accursed item from legend that is said to have been used by an ancient tribe in its hexing rituals. It is said that an evil and wicked power is bestowed upon the one who wears that mask.”
“According to legend…the troubles caused by Majora’s Mask were so great…the ancient ones, fearing such catastrophe, sealed the mask in shadow forever, preventing its misuse. But now, that tribe from the legend has vanished, so no one really knows the true nature of the mask’s power…
…But I feel it.”
“I went to great lengths to get that legendary mask. When I finally had it… I could sense the doom of a dark omen brewing. It was that unwelcome feeling that makes your hair stand on end.
And now… that imp has it…”
So now I showed you the facts, let me tell you what I think. The ancient tribe which used the mask are indeed the Twili. When Midna used the Fused Shadows in Twillight Princess, she turned into the beast majora. Majora couldn't fully control Midna, because Midna was one of the Twili, creators of the mask, and capable of locking that Majora into shadow again. Since Majora' was plaguing Termina in ancient times this means:
The Twillight Realm in Twillight Princess is the future Termina of Majora's Mask.
Zeldawiki article on the Twillight Realm:
"The Twilight Realm exists as a separate dimension from Hyrule. While the normal Hyrule resides in the World of Light, the Twilight Realm exists in perpetual Twilight, which is the absence of light. Not light in the normal logical sense, but in the spiritual sense. It is a realm in which there is no light, but Twilight. The Twilight Realm is a gloomy, hazy, yet very serene world. It is often called the World of Shadows, but that makes it seem unpleasant. There is a serene beauty to the Twilight Realm, a beauty which the Hylians have seen every time the sun sets, during Twilight hour.
After the Usurper King Zant took over, the Twilight Realm underwent a malevolent change. The skies darker, the mood more ominous, it's people changed into Shadow Beasts."
Termina was just like the twillight realm a seperate dimension from Hyrule. They don't look very much alike, but since the changing over the years and everything turning darker after Zant took over, it could be possible.
What do you think?
