Note- According to the Majora’s Mask manga, the Happy Mask Salesman is an otherworldly creature outright.
Perhaps the demon Majora itself was born of some young god’s lonely and confused childhood? bad guys,” the unhinged, unfocused and sometimes silly attacks of Majora in the final battle, as well as the immature and jealous ways that Majora makes the Skull Kid behave, we get the impression that Majora is a juvenile spirit of great power. Interestingly, the “boss” children won’t play with the Majora’s Mask child, leaving him sitting sadly under the tree.Īs an aside, between these visions of children (particularly the melancholy of the lonely Majora child), the fact that the Majora child initiates the final battle by asking Link to play “good guys vs. Giving the four “boss” children all his non-essential masks and playing their “games” earns Link the Fierce Deity Mask, the most powerful mask in the game. These children bear a striking resemblance to the HMS and furthermore make odd references to becoming mask salesmen. Under a tree are found five children wearing masks- four masks made of the remains of the four main bosses and one child wearing Majora’s Mask. Instead of a rocky satellite, the moon appears as an ethereal grassy field. The moon is under the influence of Majora and everything we see is an extension of the demon’s consciousness. The final battle of the game takes place on the moon itself, but it is a bizarre vision to say the least. Is he a Hyrulian traveling Termina, or vice-versa? The answer may lie on the moon. His knowledge of Terminan history begs the question of his origins. “it should be no problem for someone like you,” so we have no reason to assume he is merely the Terminan counterpart to the Hyrule HMS).
What of the Happy Mask Salesman himself? Is he merely a wandering merchant who knows more than he lets on? Or is he something else entirely?įirst of all, he is one of three main characters who travel between Hyrule and Termina (it is implied that he is familiar with Link’s character and previous exploits, i.e. “ I travel far and wide in search of masks…” Many years later, the HMS retrieved the mask, planning to keep its power hidden, but it was stolen by the Skull Kid, setting in motion the events of the game. The evil power of the mask caused such chaos that it utterly destroyed the Ikana Kingdom and the mask was sealed in the tower. For their hubris, the goddesses flipped the tower upside down so it burrowed into hell and in its (now) depths, Majora’s Mask was discovered. Regardless, to review this evidence and the previous theory, the Ikana built the Stone Tower to blaspheme the goddesses. I wish I had replayed the opening of the game before writing the previous article, but I spent all my research time in the Ikana Canyon and the Stone Tower. I previously speculated that the “bloodstained history” of the Ikana was due to their hubris bringing Majora upon them, and I believe this is a key piece of evidence.
The tribe that “vanished” surely has some connection to the barren wasteland that is Ikana Canyon, populated only by spirits and a handful of odd characters. It seems clear to me now that the ancient tribe he speaks of is the Ikana. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Manage Print Subscription / Tax Receipt.
