Link- lawful good. Fierce deity- Chaotic good. Ganon- lawful evil. Majora- Chaotic evil.
-
"Termina is an actual physical location near Hyrule" Boy if that's the case I'd love to return there some day in a future game!
-
12:13 This moment with Ganondorf made me realize why the Twinrova sisters had fire and ice powers, it is because the desert is scorching hot during the day, and freezing cold in the night.
-
Most scariest part of Majora's mask: Tingle
-
If the Fierce Diety is indeed linked to the concept of 'Time' within Termina, isn't it then interesting how the 'Double Helix Sword' he wields physically symbolizes the 'Infinity' symbol, to further substantiate this connection?
-
In the Zelda: Collectors Edition for the GameCube that has Zelda 1 and 2, OOT and MM, the manual states, and I quote directly from the manual, “Having waged his battles across time to defeat the evil Ganon and restore peace to Hyrule, Link departed from the land that made him a legend. On a personal journey in search of a beloved and invaluable friend, Link was waylaid while traveling through the Lost Woods, and his horse and precious Ocarina were stolen from him. His pursuit of the villain led him into the strange, parallel world of Termina, where he found his fate tied to its impending doom...” When I read this the first time it sealed the deal to me that Termina was a real place, not a dream or 5 stages of death or whatever. Parallel or not, it’s a physical place.
-
Imagine link being the reincarnation of the firce deity how cool would that be!
-
Nobody's figured it out yet? The only way you can get the fierce Deitys mask is if u compete all side quests. And the mask contains all the memories of the people of Termina. Memories that wouldn't exist without you helping all the people of termina/side quests. It's one of those "Back to the future" time loop kinda things. The "fierce Deity" is Link. But like all fables and legends they're always larger then life, kinda like the F.D is so much larger then link.. But termina will always remember the boy who solved all their problems and saved them from certain doom, and finally broke the cycle.
-
I really like the idea of it almost being a cultural thing. Like Hyrule has all these seals and realms while Termina has always dealt in Mask based magic.
-
Fierce Deity, to me, is the ancient terminian counterpart of Link. Sealed within a mask to be wielded against great evil. I.e. Majora
-
While you were talking about the creation of the transition masks you mentioned they seemed to have to be made from the dead or dying. That made me think, maybe Termina's hero was mortally wounded during his fight against Majora and as such was unable to finish the job only weakening it so it could be sealed. This would explain him becoming a transformation mask when Majora didn't.
-
-
It seems to me that despite termina having a paralleled trinity, the Goddess of Time doesn't have a stake in the fight of chaos and order. Fierce Deity and Majora battled more as equals, and the deity was set to obliterate all evil as sworn duty. Its very possible that he was already respected by the people of termina, but did not sit well with the idea of sealing evil away. His perspective is to murder majora, not let it live, and deep down he understands that sealing it would break the cycle and render him without an equal. I think its likely he chose to be sealed, for both the good of termina and fear that if he perished with no rivals, he would no be reincarnated. The decision to seal both combating forces is in a sense, freezing time for the figures, as if the goddess of time heeded the necessity of peace by halting the battle while swords still clashed.
-
Did you call link kind-hearted? He walks into houses without permission, steals money, breaks pots, and sometimes (or maybe just me) throws the pots at the owner of the house!
-
I side with the "sealed hero to be awake during Majora's resurgence" idea. The same tactic was used in Breath of the wild (sorta). Link was put to sleep for 100 years to be awakened again when Ganon was to come back and rule Hyrule again, and the people of Hyrule had to live without their hero during that time.
-
You could look at the whole thing in reverse though: You could rather say that Majora represents fearlessness without responsibility (acts like a child) which actually means that Majora is Links spiritual counterpart. Link representing courage, facing fear and danger and taking responsibility for saving the world. Hence Majoras recklessness endangers the world, while links fearlessness saves it. Which then makes more sense of 'the fierce deity'. Deity is so clearly synonymous with the idea of power, as is Gannondorf. Here two the opposite is true. Gannondorf believes his power gives him the right to own the world and ends up being sealed by others , the fierce deity seals himself so that he may return when his power is needed. Hence why he can be called a deity- he makes a sacrifice, he has ultimate power, and takes responsibility for saving the world, and waits until he is needed and wanted rather than acting on his own desires. That inversion also makes sense of Hylia/Zelda then. One is actively, thinking and trying to work out the danger - Zelda, a physical character who is recurring in the world, whose personality in the games involve her watching out and considering the best course of action. Wheras in Termina whoever it is, is vague, distant, invisible and only acts when required or asked. One is actively using your wisdom in the world and being part of it, the other is holding your wisdom separately from it.
-
What if the fierce deity's spirit was sealed in a mask because he knew that a calamity would happen again and to insure that the next person can use the mask to gain his power to protect termina
-
The Fierce Deity is a Fierce Deity. Aonuma's quote about memories is a play of words.
-
I've always seen the Feirce Deity as the first Link in time to be worthy of holding the full triforce sealed away within a mask. Mainly because of the solid triangle on the chest of his armor
