Psychology of Majora’s Mask: Part Three

Majora’s Mask has always been a title that has stood out significantly in the Zelda franchise for many reasons, such as the emotions conveyed by the characters in the game, the setting and its presentation, and how NPCs interact with the world you play through, giving the universe a very unique feel. This has largely been accomplished through the psychology used in the conversations that occur throughout the game. Recently the folks of the Blog “The Why Button” have been going through the Nintendo 64 Classic and gone into detail about the setting, the characters, and how those factors helped to mold the world of Termina. There has already been a part one, and two, that detail Clock Town and its people, the blogs most recent post has gone into even further detail of the characters such as Gorman, and Guru-Guru, residing in the game and describe the meaning behind their conversations, Mentality, and more.

Being my all-time favorite Zelda game I find this to be extremely intriguing, not only is the deeper meaning of the conversations between the characters analyzed, but also the reasoning behind what they say and why they say it, the writer also goes as far as to describe the emotions of that particular person at the time, and will even occasionally give a history of that individual. The characters in part three of this series of sorts are all recognizable from the game, from the Rosa Sisters, and even the juggling twins, but are looked at in a light you might have never viewed them before, which gives them more of a purpose and personality. Majora’s Mask has always been a game with a dark and emotional tone that has many elements which are often overlooked, and it is extremely credible of the blog to tackle a feat of such scale, especially considering all the themes, characters, and large scale of the world of Termina.
