Tag: Skull Kid

Majora’s Mask is a fantastic Zelda game. Not just because it has good gameplay, a good plot, and unprecedented mechanics, but it also has some serious themes. Sure, Majora’s Mask is darker than most of the franchise, and the nearing moon is simply terrifying, however some of the underlying truths in the game, particularly how those surround Skull Kid, are amazing to realize. And of course, who better to reveal those to us than Zac Gorman with his Magical Game Time…

Majora’s Mask is “that” Zelda game. For a while considered the black sheep of the series or an underrated gem — though it’s really neither by this point — it’s perhaps most of all seen as a very mysterious and strange game. Scenes are often surreal and indistinct, confusing, or just thought-provoking. And many of the plot points are not well-explained, with unclear origins. I’ve always been a fan of looking at its mysteries and trying to figure them out,…

Alarming buzzwords! Okay, before you panic, I’ll start off by saying that this one is mostly theoretical. But I wanted to talk about it because I think, while unprovable, it shows a lot of the nuances of certain scenes in Majora’s Mask, and that’s the whole point of Zelda Moments: To break down moments and discuss them. Last week I talked about Epona, and for possibly the first time, gave her some props on how she fulfills certain player fantasies…

Before you start asking what’s up with the title, I originally planned to have this split into two parts: Author’s Choice and Reader’s Choice. However, after writing up the first part, I realised it was too long and split it into two parts, as well. In this first instalment of my series of analyses on the side-characters of Majora’s Mask, I will be looking at Tael, Anju, and Kafei. Unfortunately, if you were looking forward to my analyses of ???…

Sorry about the absence of this editorial last week, but my school work was piling up, and I knew it would continue to do so if I put it off to write this, so I did my work instead. But this week, I was completely free to write this! Skull Kid is believed to be the main antagonist of Majora’s Mask, and essentially, he is, but in truth, it was Majora, who was slowly taking over Skull Kid’s mind, and…

To those who have not played Majora’s Mask, but know a decent bit about it, Tatl would appear to simply be a yellow Navi; but those people would be wrong. While Tatl does take Navi’s place as Link’s sidekick, Navi was just there, serving no real purpose and wasn’t much of a character; however, Tatl, while also serving no real purpose, is very much her own character. Now, a lot of people last week commented that I was more retelling…

I’ve been waiting for this one for a long time, and now finally the moment has arrived to wonder: who is the Link in Majora’s Mask? Well, yes, to almost all Zelda fans it is common knowledge that the Link in Majora’s Mask is in fact the same Link from Ocarina of Time, and is still, essentially, the Hero of Time. But, he is, in fact, different. I’ve got your attention now, haven’t I? Well, keep reading if you want…

Today’s Zelda Fanart Spotlight is on deviantART artist SpoonfishLee’s Majora’s Mask fanart “Skull Kid, Majora’s Mask”. This fanart shows the infamous Skull Kid holding up the Majora’s Mask while staring up at it, wondering what draws him to the mask which is glowing dark with evil. Tael is floating above his friend and the mask trying to get a good look at it himself. It makes one wonder if these two friends can see the darkness that is practically floating…

Requested by hyourinmaru Following up from last week’s look at The Wind Waker‘s title theme, this week I have elected to look at another excellent piece of title screen music from the Zelda series: Majora’s Mask‘s theme. As one of the darker and more unique Zelda games, Majora’s Mask has a lot of contrasts throughout its world that play on the theme of light and dark. Not to be left out, its music follows suit and the title theme is…

Today’s Zelda Fanart Spotlight is on deviantART artist fluxmage‘s Majora’s Mask fanart “Atop the Tower“. This artwork shows Link, in Deku form, and Tatl on top of the Clock Tower on the third day. They are confronting the Skull Kid by trying to make him stop what he’s doing and to return what he took from Link which is the Ocarina that he is lazily tossing up into the air. Tatl’s brother Tael is also present at the scene and…
