So, I've been thinking about this a lot lately. With Hyrule Historia out and and an official timeline set, Nintendo has to be really careful about any sort of canonical errors. I feel that at this point, most things are deliberate in Zelda games. That said, Majora's Mask's cameo appearance in ALBW bugs me.
ALBW worlds, we know, takes place on the Fallen Hero timeline during the Era of Light and Dark, which eventually leads to the Era of Decline [Legend of Zelda and Adventure of Link].
By this logic, MM has no canonical business in this timeline, since MM causes issues in the Child Time. MM is in Link's house BEFORE Ravio appears, which means it was in his possession (NOT Ravio's), throwing out any theories I once had about the tribe that made MM existed in Lorule and somehow made it into Hyrule by other means in the child Timeline.
I've come to the conclusion that MM was put on the wall as a big nudge/hint that a remake/remaster/port of Majora's Mask is on the way (perhaps I'm just too damn optimistic), but the appearance of such a heavy item in terms of plot (after all, it was the major plot point of an ENTIRE game) is too much for me to accept as just a simple wink to the audience.
What do you guys think?
