Termina: Difference between revisions

'''Termina''' is a parallel world to [[Hyrule]]. It is featured in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' as the primary setting in the game. Termina contains many similar characters from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' but they seem to have no connection to their counterparts in Hyrule. [[Link]] arrived in this parallel world by looking for his lost friend, which is believed to be [[Navi]], and discovers that Termina is threatened to be destroyed by the [[Moon]]; controlled by [[Majora's Mask]]. [[Clock Town]] resides at the land's center and serves as a hub.

[[File:Scncarnival.jpg|240px|thumb|right|Carnival of Time!]]Each year a festival is prepared in order to celebrate the [[Four Giants]], the alignment of the sun and the moon and the progress of time. It's called "The Carnival of Time", During the carnival it's normal to wear masks representing the giants. In the events of the game, Link enters at the time when the town is preparing for this celebration, which happens to be on the eve of the fourth day. However this is also the time the impending apocalypse from the falling of the moon is supposed to be occurring.  

[[File:FourGiantStory.png|190px|thumb|left|The Four Giants]]Termina much like Hyrule as it's own mythology. In the tale told, Long ago, the people of Termina were watched over by Four Giants. They protected the people, This was before the people moved away into the four geographical directions. But one day they told the people that each one of them would go into the East, South, West and North and sleep, If the people needed help they would awaken from their respective  regions. But the skull kid got angry with this news and felt alone, so he caused mischief. The giants reside within the four regions of Termina; Woodfall, Snowhead. Great Bay and Stone Tower.

[[File:Clock-Town-Majoras-Mask.jpg‎|200px|thumb|right|Clock Town during the First Day]]'''Clock Town''' lies in the central region of Termina. This is the main hub for Link, It is the location of the [[Milk Bar]], [[Stock Pot Inn]], [[Mayor's Residence]], etc. Clock Town is mostly home to the [[Hylian]] race or their [[Terminian]] counterparts. On the eve of the fourth day this is where the annual [[Carnival of Time]] begins. Clock Town is the first location Link enters in the game after being transformed into a [[Deku Scrub]]. The main feature is the [[Clock Tower]], which is situated to the middle of the town. The Town itself is divided into five distinct sections: West, East, South, North and the [[Laundry Pool]].  

[[File:Southernswamp.jpg|200px|thumb|right|The Swamp Volcano, Location of the Woodfall Temple.]] '''Woodfall''' is the first region Link visits after leaving Clock Town and is home to the [[Deku Scrub]] tribe. When Link first visits the region, it's waters have been poisoned due to the menacing work of the Skull Kid, thus causing many problems. The main area surrounding Woodfall is the [[Southern Swamp]], this area contains the [[Swamp Tourist Center]], the [[Magic Hags' Potion Shop]] and the [[Woods of Mystery]]. After clearing the [[Big Octo]] a new section of the swamp is now accessible and this leads to the home of the Deku Scrubs, the [[Deku Palace]]. Further on in the swamp lies the similarly named [[Woodfall]], which is a giant Swamp filled crater that houses the [[Woodfall Temple]].  

[[File:Snowhead2.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Snowhead Temple]] '''Snowhead''' is the second region that Link visits in the game. This region lies to the northernmost of Termina and is the home of the [[Goron]]s. Link encounters this area after he has ridden the evil at Woodfall, where he gains the [[Bow]] which is the key to accessing the Snowhead Trail. At this current time the region of Snowhead is suspended in winter when in fact it is meant to be spring. This has caused many of the Gorons to stay inside the [[Goron Shrine]] and is the recent cause of [[Darmani]]'s death. It is here where the [[Snowhead Temple]], [[Goron Village]] and [[Mountain Village]] are located.  

[[File:Romaniranch2.jpg|200px|thumb|right|The Ranch]] '''Romani Ranch''' lies to the south of Termina and just north of the region of Woodfall. It's a large farm that is most famous for providing Milk, called the [[Chateau Romani]] to Clock Town. The Ranch is home to [[Cremia]] who lives here with her younger sister [[Romani]], the ranch is also neighbors with the Gorman Brother's Racetrack. Within the ranch itself are the [[Doggy Racetrack]] and the [[Cucco Shack]]. Link must retrieve [[Epona]] from this area in order to access the Great Bay. However the [[Milk Road|Road]] to the ranch is blocked by a large boulder that takes three days to be removed, alternatively to access the ranch earlier Link can use the [[Powder Keg]] bomb.  

[[File:Greatbaycoast2.jpg‎|200px|thumb|right|Great Bay Coast]] '''Great Bay''' is the third region in the game that Link encounters. The Bay itself is situated to the western section of Termina and is mainly the home of the [[Zora]]s who live in the [[Zora Cape]]. This region is also the home of the [[Gerudo Tribe]], who betray pirates and reside within the [[Pirates' Fortress]]. The main area in this region is the [[Great Bay Coast]], which is experiencing a strange increase in temperatures causing the waters to be murky. This Bay can only be accessed when Link has retrieved Epona from Romani's Ranch. Link obtains the [[Zora Mask]] here, after the death of [[Mikau]] and with this he can navigate the waters of the bay. On the edge of the coast lies [[Pinnacle Rock]], which leads onto the [[Great Bay Temple]].  

[[File:Ikana Canyon.png|200px|thumb|right|Canyon]] '''Ikana''' is the final region of the game that Link visits on his quest to stop the falling of the moon. This region is situated to the east of Termina and consists of four parts, the [[Ikana Graveyard|Graveyard]], the [[Ikana Canyon]], [[Stone Tower]] and [[Ikana Castle]]. The graveyard has the great skeleton, [[Captain Keeta]]. The canyon part of Ikana is haunted by dead soldiers' spirits, and [[Gibdo]]s. It's a very desolate place and very haunting but can be stabilised by playing the [[Song of Healing]] in the [[Music Box House]]. Further on is the trial upto the [[Stone Tower Temple]], which can only be accessed by learning the [[Elegy of Emptiness]].

[[File:South Termina Field.png|200px|thumb|right|South Termina field with the Swamp in the background]] '''Termina Field''' is large circular field surrounding Clock Town. This field connects all four geographical continents; Woodfall, Snowhead, Great Bay and Ikana with each other. Link must travel through this field in order to get to his destination. It hasn't got any cities except Clock Town, and the only other building is the [[Astral Observatory]], which lies to the south west. The field itself contains a few notable enemies as well as hidden holes in the ground.
