I'm really surprised Aonuma's nightmares wasn't on the iceberg. The cutscene where Link was running away from the wave of Deku scrubs was exactly the same as a nightmare he had while developing Majora's Mask but what was the creepiest thing about it wasn't made by Aonuma. Another developer made the cutscene without Aonuma saying anything and he said it was exactly like a nightmare he had.

man, this game has some of the best songs in zelda like astral observatory, and even uses the best songs from ocarina of time like the lost woods theme

In regard to the Majora balloons, I think they were made by the Bombers, those kids that run around Clock Town. They mention that they let a kid who wasn't human join their group once, and they regretted it. I think it's implied that this non-human member was Skull Kid. After everything he did, the kids grew to hate him, and made those balloons as target practice with his face on them. The balloons only appear in two placed, those being North Clock Town where a Bomber is shooting at it, and in the clubhouse/sewer outside the Astral Observatory.

Link’s statue has irises and pupils, unlike the ones who are confirmed to be dead, who have but blank white eyes.

I always thought the 'Link is Dead' theory to be weird because like you don't go through the five stages of grief for your *own* death you go through them for someone else's death. It'd make a lot more sense if the theory was 'Navi is Dead'

I always thought it was creepy that the mask salesman repeats the line "youve met with a terrible fate, havent you?" After failing to stop the moon from crashing. Maybe i just overthought it but it felt almost like foreshadowing

also I think Kafei and Tingle are Link's counterparts more than anything else (like Romani has two counterparts too) Tingle is what Link could have been if he didn't have the courage to move on Kafei is a contrast to how Link currently is: Link became an adult (through time travel) and is now suddenly a child again, probably feeling lost, and Kafei was an adult who suddenly became a child (through magic), feeling ashamed and lost

About the Link is Dead theory... no, Link is not dead, but I do think there are a lot of valid and interesting points to consider there. Death and grief are certainly a recurring theme throughout the game. All of your transformation masks are from characters that have died and are grieving their own deaths. The Deku Butler's son, Darmani, and Mikau. Playing the Song of Healing for each of these characters helps them to pass their troubles onto you and rest in peace. Of course, the five stages of grief are prevalent in each of the game's areas. Ultimately culminating in a fight with the evil spirit Majora. Nowhere is it implied that Link is dead. I think the one that's dead is Majora itself. Majora is in denial of its own death and lives on as a spirit by possessing its mask and seizing control of those who wear it. While possessing Skull Kid, he has fun stirring up trouble and mischief around the world of Termina, but progressively becomes more frustrated over the course of the three days, especially after everything seems to go wrong for his plan, ultimately culminating in him denouncing Skull Kid as a useless puppet. This is followed by bargaining, as represented by the masked children on the moon who demand Link to give them masks and ask him incredibly profound questions about friends, and depression, as represented by the increasingly sad tone of the children's questions and the lonely child wearing Majora's Mask at the base of the tree. Finally, acceptance comes after the final boss fight, when the evil spirit finally leaves Majora's Mask. The boss fight itself might have more symbolism within it, but for now I'll leave it as insight into Majora's character rather than trying to analyze it as a part of the theme of death. I will say, though, its voice and behavior brings to mind that of a child that might not have spent its life alone and filling that void however it can (I'm using "it" because Majora's gender is never really directly stated). I think a lot of the details surrounding Majora and its fate are left intentionally vague to keep that air of mystery that makes Majora's Mask so intriguing. I've always been on the fence about whether or not the Happy Mask Salesman disappearing during the ending was intended to imply he was some sort of aparition or ghost, or if it was just some animation limitation and they just wanted to imply he was walking away. The answer to that could leave some clues as to Majora's past. Perhaps the Happy Mask Salesman is the ghost of Majora himself and that's why the moon children all resemble him? Or, perhaps the moon children resemble him just because Majora's grown fond of the idea of becoming a mask salesman itself? This part is a little too open-ended to make any sort of definitive analysis on, but it's food for thought. So, is Link dead? Of course not, but I'm pretty confident *somebody* is. And I'm leaning toward either the Happy Mask Salesman or Majora itself. Perhaps even both?

>8 foot tall pirate ladies Oh well fuck, now I DO want to live in Termina

I love those random clips you use like Link crashing the car into the building and Link doing the Orange Justice. They're really funny

There's three more that really should have been on this iceberg, though they are all tied to one larger concept. 1. Happy Mask aren't just called that because of the salesman, they contain happiness, and are somewhat related to gratitude crystals/force gems. While the Transformation mask might make you think all the mask contain some kind of grief, its worth noting that they aren't considered Happy Mask, only those given as quest rewards are. This stands to reason why the Children of the moon only want the Happy Mask and refuse the transformation mask. Even the Gidbo mask, which you might assume is cursed, lacks any cursed energy and is given to you as thanks for reuniting a family. 2. Coming straight off the last one, Fierce Deity is the guardian of all of Termina. While the translation makes it seem like you and Majora are going to play cops and robbers, the Japanese text refers to you as an Oni, and the term Fierce Deity is referring to a type of vengeful god that work for the will of the people. Since we have to help all of Termina to receive the happy mask and in turn give those away, you can consider the power of the mask to be the collective will of all of Termina. 3. Buddhist imagery and enlightenment. While at first glance Majora's Mask might seem aesthetically different from every other Zelda, all Zeldas are tied strongly to themes of Shinto/Buddhism, in spite of its mostly European/fantasy appearance. As opposed to the idea that Termina and Links journey represents a specific character death and/or the stages of grief around it, the endless 3 day cycle more accurately depicts the endless cycle of rebirth, and the toil and strife of living on the mortal plane. We endeavor to solve the problems of those around us, as well as our own quest, but we reset and start again unless we defeat the corrupted violent deities. It is only by breaking the cycle of violence and playing a song to restore order that we ascend into the heavens, and if we complete all of the Happy Mask by selflessly helping others we complete the journey of the Buddha and achieve enlightenment, a power we use to break the cycle. Giving the mask away is also symbolic of giving away your possessions to remove the burden of want, another part of enlightenment. While the Buddhist thing is mostly symbolic, the Fierce Deity Mask being the combined will of the people is confirmed by an interview with Aonuma. Given this, the happy mask being a form of gratitude kind of goes against the idea of the Salesman being a nefarious character or the existence of a mask cult, as it would appear that Mask are just one of the many tools that can be used to channel either force, gratitude, or malice. As an aside, I've always hated the idea that Termina is a literal death metaphor. But for similar reasons I've slowly started to move away from the idea that its a parallel dimension of any kind. The uncomfortable consensus with a lot of theorist these days are that Termina was created by Majora's Mask and goes way after the 4th day. That has all the same disappointment of the death theories and just doesn't stand to reason why there'd be so much history and detail to the world. It also make no sense to the motives; would Majora have created the world just to fuck with Link or the Salesman, why would he destroy the same world he created, why would the time goddess be involved? As a kid I just thought of it as a weird mirror world like the dark world, and you'd think things like Lorule would have bolstered that idea but I think even that's a little much. The idea of finding counterparts I feel just takes away from the mythos of Termina, and while it may be a convenient explanation for the reused assets, its one we came up with on our own. Its never expressly stated in game that its a parallel world and only things like reviewers and the prima guide really supported the idea. Namely I'd say the biggest issue is there are lots of individuals who have no counterparts, like Zelda, or the Kokiri. There are cases like the ranch sisters who are two different versions of the same character, or the Gorman brothers who are triplets of the same character. Perhaps we can find a vague resemblance to factions; The royal family and Ikana, the sheikah and the garo, etc. but I'd really rather just look at Termina as its own place, and it make theorizing about their past civilizations potential interactions with the neighboring Hyrule and the Godesses more fun... though the moon being a god with a face might be the BIGGEST issue with that... then again it might not be the same moon... or it is in a sort of pocket dimension, or temporal bubble... just not like, a mirror one.

Ben Drowned is a lot like Squidward's Suicide in that a lot of people don't really give it a lot of credit because it has a lot of tropes and cliches not realizing that they were the originators of those tropes and cliches. It may not technically be the first, but Ben Drowned was the most popular and influential haunted video game creepypasta. It and Godzilla SNES are like the grandfathers of all of the other haunted game Creepypastas

Well I think the death metaphors were intentional. I don't think Link died either, but the story still focuses on Death quite often that the metaphors make sense

Majora's Mask music has become more nostalgic to me than even Ocarina of Time's. Majora's Mask is just so damn good.

y'know there's actually a little plush figure of Tingle in Skyward Sword located in Zelda's dorm room. Since Skyward Sword is the origin story of The Legend of Zelda, this implies that at least the idea of Tingle has existed since the beginning of the Zelda Timeline

Honestly, majora's mask really is the one zelda game that can have it's own iceberg

I don't think Link is dead and going through the stages of grief in Majora's Mask. A series of excellent videos about the temple themes in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask on the channel Save Data, intentional plug, breaks them down, not only analyzing the instruments and samples used, but also the cultural inspirations of the architecture of each. The architecture of each of Termina's four temples and the instruments and sounds used in each's tracks indicate in my mind that Termina is a real world, factually parallel to Hyrule with its own history and the Skull Kid becoming possessed by the mask and all that did happen and Link did actually stop it to save the land and find his way back to Hyrule.

I hope icebergs keep being made because I keep learning new things about my favorite games.

oh man, it's time! Excited for this one, Sunflower!

I’m personally on board with the theory that Kafei is Link’s counterpart

Yesss I'm currently watching ice berg videos again and it's great to see another ice berg video from you!

Great video, the of your content is honestly getting better and better with every video this video is great 👍

This Iceberg gonna be so amazing, this game got so many things to talk about. LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO

Keep up the great work Sunflower,love these iceberg videos,they are so cozy

Love your iceberg videos!! 🙏🏻❤️

I swear your sense of humor takes away anything scary about this game

I was just looking for a zelda iceberg video for no reason and licked on this one randomly just to notice it came out today, nice content

Very excited to dive into this. Majora’s Mask 3D was my childhood, I spent many bus rides and many hours exploring Termina.

Whenever I see a new iceberg video from you, I get happy.

the master of icebergs is back and better than ever

I always just kind of thought he screamed during the mask transformation because he's undergoing serious body horror. Also... 28:20 Majora: Look at me. *flips upside down* I am the god now.

Yeah, Link being dead doesn't really make sense since that clashes with the Hero's Shade(my boi) being an adult or Stalfos, depending on interpretation. If adult, he died years later, if a Stalfos, it means he got lost in the Lost Woods and literally _never_ died. He just managed to maintain his sanity as a Stalfos(or maybe the Hero of Twilight awakening snapped him back to reality.) If anything, the five stages represent Termina itself. Its current, ambiguous situation, alongside its name and status as a land forsaken by the Goddesses can point to this.

link being dead is the perfect example why a lot of game theory stuff bugs me. maybe they did base termina on the stages of grief, honestly it’s likely since a lot of the game is about loss. but that doesn’t have to have a LITERAL representation within the game itself as a Fun Twist. things can just be thematic currents through a piece of art

My favorite zelda game? And an iceberg? Man you just got yourself a sub!

i really enjoy watching stuff like this then doing another play through of the game. makes it feel like a whole new game.

Yes! A new iceberg video! And it’s a Zelda one!!!!

I thought Link screams because it hurts when he's putting the mask on. Because he's, well, transforming.

Yoooooooo! I was just watching your Splatoon Iceburg when I saw you uploaded this love your iceburg video they're the ones I watch the most.

Yay new video from my favorite channel

Didnt know about the star thing and man thats cool, I appreciate small things like that in games

38:46 OH MY GOD So that's how the Arwing got into Ocarina of Time's timeline.

Your voice never gets old!

Great analysis, mate! MM is one of my favorite games

Drink hot sauce each time sunflower says spooky

idea: star fox entering the zelda universe explains the arwing in ocarina of time

So hype to watch this, my favorite legend of Zelda game!

Watched all Majoras Mask iceberg Videos so far. I don‘t even know why. But i won‘t stop at this point. :D So thanks very much for all the new facts my Brain can waste capacity from. ;)

"8 foot tall pirate ladies" Someone I know would like that...

one word: awesome

YESSSSSSS THIS IS A CHRISTMAS GIFT ISTG

I love Majora's Mask, it's definitely one of my favorite Zelda games. Not a fan of the fan theories that try and claim Termina was never real *cough Hyrule Encyclopedia My favorite Zelda game is A Link Between Worlds, especially with the secret old man Link boss. Also, Milk might be alcoholic in Hyrule (and other worlds) as well (or at least used in alcohol. There is a milk bar in both Hyrule and Lorule in a Link Between Worlds, and a Tavern that serves milk in Phantom Hourglass, however the wikis aren't exactly helpful in showing any relevant dialogue, and my old 3ds is in a box somewhere so I can't really verify if it's implied to be alcoholic Edit: Here's something weird in Termina: in the stone tower temple you enter the boss arena through a portal in the floor that was previously just a hole in the ceiling. So, where does the Twinmold fight take place?

Crashing It Into My Face To the tune of "Clock Town Theme" from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (Sun Song) Here we go- Got ur girl's titties in my hands Her pants are down, I'm boutta embrace Cheeks are huge, well I'll be damned Crashing it into my face Termina may as well be doomed Ass so big that time will displace Clap them hard, the sound boomed Crashing it into my face The final hours are coming soon Turn it up! let's hear the bass I'm gonna be eating a moon Crashing it into my face Mouth wide open, here it comes Time to devour, that is the case Remember to also eat up the crumbs Crashing it into my face (Link screaming)

Thank you so much for this! I enjoyed your commentary on this. If you are considering doing more Legend of Zelda's iceberg videos, please consider Twilight Princess.

On the topic of the asteroid with a face in Star Fox, the guy who did the character art for Star Fox also did the character art for Majora's Mask and F-Zero

Man I really enjoy these Zelda videos, and something about hearing you narrate them is relaxing!

This Scares me, this was the first Zelda game I ever touched and Since I didn't know any of English, i couldn't progress, but the few I saw from it, it scared me. As always, good video, hope for the next one.

The Happy Mask Salesman is Death. He understands wherever he goes, despair follows. So he sells masks to make people happy and offering healing to those who can't pass on. Hence why he opened a mask shop in castle town in OOT. Maybe Link died in the beginning but Death chose to save him instead. Giving him 3 days to live so he may retrieve Majora's mask. Right before Majora died, it's life-force was given to Link so that he may live.

Yup, mine was definitely personalized. The mission to get the butler’s mask broke during the race and I couldn’t get it to do the race again. It just acted like I completed it but no mask.

I had no idea of Cremia and Anju's slight relationship, that's cool.

Evil Ben: I learned how to swim

here we go again

XD "the Happy Mask Salesman is dead." "Good."

I played majora s mask and it was creepy. But i realy loved it.

The outro is so goofy and hilarious that I returned only to listen to it 😭

If it can help you feel better: I started playing Majora's Mask because I thought Ben Drowned and all of that stuff was real. I was a bit disappointed as a kid when I realized the game was less creepier than this (I recognize it's not a joyful game tho). I still consider this as the best entry of the series, I love it

Elekey? ELEKEY?!? It's Elegy. EleGEE! EleJesus Mah Boi.

The iceberg saga continues

Couldn't play Majora's Mask for a while after knowing about the Ben Drowned (at the time [for most people] creepypasta). Me being alone in my dark room while playing the supposed spooky statue spirit game didn't help. Nowadays I really enjoy the game and have more maturity and knowledge to ignore Ben Drowned content's relationship with Majora's Mask while playing the game. Even played with the cheats used in the video.

Ah I love listening too these when I draw.

You forgot to mention that The hero's shade from TP being the link of MM in stalfos form, which requires him to die in the lost woods, is also a part of why people heavily argue that link dies at the beginning of MM

for my birthday this year, a bunch of my freinds picked up an N64 and a couple games as a gift for me. one of them being majora's mask. now i was stunned as soon as i saw the gift, but when i booted up the MM cartridge, there was already a save file under the name "Ben". this sent chills down my spine, and when i asked they said they had picked it up from a garage sale. later they let me know they were messing with me, but seeing that save file is a moment i will never forget

I don’t think link died during the game. However I believe he died at the end though because In twilight princess with the hero shade. The stealphos in that game that teaches you techniques is the hero of time. He says that in the game. So I believe he got lost in the lost woods died and became a stealphos. And waited years to pass on to find the new hero to teach them how to succeed where he could not.

“Sarkon deez nutz” earned my subscription. 😂

This game has been around so long that the Fierce Deity, Majora, and Goddess of Time being the Terminian counterparts to Link, Ganondorf, and Zelda is never talked about anymore lol It used to be a relatively common take

Isn't Kafei supposed to be Link's counterpart? He's got purple hair like Link's other counterpart: Ravio, he is the only character to experience time travel to the point where it alters his body, and he's the only other character that you can actually take control of during the Sun's Mask quest.

Very interesting video. This game is just so interesting,

I can't blame you, man. If i had Majora's mask feeeze on me after using the elegy of emptiness while playing it on an n64 as a child i would have been scared to death for months

This game is so fucking good my god. I love this game so much that I got genuinely mad that it couldn't have been seven days due to the time limit and the storage limit. I doubt that the stories got that far into the seven day format (the 64DD died pretty early) because all of them flow pretty well but I'd love to see what they could've done with the Anju+Kafei quest with seven days. I said all of this before starting the video because I love the game that much.

I love the flatwoods monster. So when I played MM for the first time this was the moment I fell in love

0:59 "BUT, and this is a BIG BUT" Okay, let that slide.

YOOOO MAJORAS MASK ICEBERG!!!!!

Been waiting for this cert hood classic since ¤¤

I subscribed immediately after “dabbed on his grave”.

El video que toda latinoamerica unida estaba esperando

YES I AM SO HAPPY I COULD CRY

I prefer Majora's mask over ocarina of time.

Here after the oot iceberg deep dive :)

U know what Sun? XD i love ur laugh so much

Thanks, very epic, very cool :smile:

Okay, but when can we get a longer version of that banger outro

There is a theme of grief and the stages of it, but that doesn't mean that Link is dead.

I've got this crazy new theory, hear me out. What if the main character's name isn't actually Zelda, but Link?!?! I've got some evidence for this, but I'm afraid I can't release it just yet because I don't want anyone stealing my idea, or my thunder. But you are welcome to try, of course, I like a bit of competition.

Im with you man, I despise this endless trend of death/coma/dream/purgatory theories, they're so cliched, juvenile and low effort. #LinkIsNotDead

All the "kiss" parts got me losing it 😭😭

nice vid! watching now. subbed edit: came from nesCretro

The majoras mask/ ocarina time days were the best hands down best in the series

"Termina. The Place of The End. The Ever-present Death." Who is to say, here on our earth, our souls are not already dead?

I do like the idea of the different areas being different stages of grieving, but Link doesn't have to be dead for that to still be true. There's a LOT of things to grieve!

The stone tower blasphemy is actually some blocks depict a being licking the triforce and pointing up as of mocking the gods
