5 Reasons Why The Legend Of Zelda: Majora’s Mask Is The Best Legend Of Zelda Ever
4. The Theories/Lore
No other ‘Zelda’ game has inspired as many theories as well as sparked discussion related to the backstory. Just about every ‘Zelda’ fan has been introduced to the “Link is Dead” theory in regards to Majora’s Mask. This theory has sparked more debate online than any other ‘Zelda’ related theory and has even divided people into two camps: one that agrees Link is going through his trials in purgatory, and one that says Link is simply in a parallel land.
The background lore in regards to the Stone Tower Temple and the theories made about it is incredible, as well as sinister. The game’s last temple is situated on top of Termina’s tallest tower and features an entrance with a face, a finger pointing upwards, and four phallic statues.
According to the theory, the tower was made by the people of Termina as a way to get to the goddesses and attack them. When this happened, the goddesses flipped the tower, sending the transgressors to Termina’s version of Hell instead. The temple remains as a reminder from the people of Termina, essentially giving the middle finger to the three godesses associated with the Triforce while venerating the four giants that act as protectors of Termina.
