I figured I could share this with you guys here, too. Anyways, a game idea has been flying around in which you play as Zelda disguised as Sheik during the seven years in which Link was sealed away. I was asked how I felt about this and this is what I said:

I saw that flying around and while it sounds like a good idea without thinking about it, when you do…it really isn’t. More that it doesn’t make sense rather than it being a bad idea because nothing actually happened in those seven years. She disguised her self and waited. She couldn’t do anything against Ganondorf, she couldn’t help anyone out in Hyrule at all. One because she was powerless to do so and two because if she did, then there would be a chance to draw attention to her and risk being found out. 
What could possibly happen in that game? Do we sit through her training or something? If something memorable happened during that time, then it would be a good idea but…nothing memorable happened. Who would be our bad guy? Who could possibly be our bad guy? It cannot be Ganondorf and it cannot be anyone that would be working for Ganondorf at that time because if we are successful, then that would draw attention to her self.
Part of being a member of the Sheikah tribe also means staying in the Shadows until the time is right…

What do you guys think of this game idea?

So, since I am playing Ocarina of Time again, there is simply no way that I can ignore the Poe Salesman and what he says to Link when you go see him. For a while, there have been many theories about him floating around. The most popular being the one that he is the Happy Mask Salesman. It’s great, it makes sense, but it doesn’t do it for me. Why? Well, because the Happy Mask Salesman doesn’t hate the world! He spreads joy with his masks, but the fact that this Poe Salesman is possibly carrying the Mask of Truth is a bit hard to dismiss.(He says he can read your mind and that red eye-looking thing is a bit of a dead give away.) I thought so, too and the more I thought on it, the more things began to click for me.

In the end, what I came to think is that the Poe Salesman is Link! Not the Link we are playing as, obviously, but the Link from the ‘failed’ timeline. Ocarina of Time is the game which splits the timeline into three: an Adult Timeline in which Link defeats Ganondorf and goes on to be a legend, the Child timeline in which Link returns to his child-period time and goes on to Termina and the Fail timeline in which Link is defeated by Ganondorf. I do believe that the Poe Salesman is the defeated version of Link. Why do I think so? He has the Mask of Truth!

Oh, but the Happy Mask Salesman has the Mask of truth, it cannot be Link! Right, BUT the Happy Mask Salesman lends the Mask to Link at the end of the mask-selling side quest. He no longer has it according to the game’s time-flow. There are no other duplicated of the Mask that we know of and it being a treasure passed down by the Sheikah, it is very unlikely that there is a duplicate of the mask. I do believe that this Link has already been defeated but not killed by Ganondorf as the bastard is way too cocky to kill someone he no longer considers a threat. “Watch me rule the world and spread my evil while you have no power to stop me!”

I believe that this “Link” has grown bitter and miserable as he cannot save the world any longer and only hopes for things to get worse. It is very sad to think about, very sad…

I hope I explained this well-enough as I feel there might be some points missing. Feel free to message me or respond to this and I’ll be happy to answer to your questions/comments.

So, I am not sure if nay of you remember, but a while back I was hunting for Gold Skulltulas and heart pieces. And guess what? II’m still searching for them. I am missing 6 pieces of heart and eight Gold Skulltulas. I cannot, for the life me, remember where those damn things are!

Well, actually…I know where three of the heart pieces are, but for the rest of the things I cannot find! And no, I refuse to look it up!

However! I will accept help form you guys! What type of help? Well, sort of specific: tell me the locations of the most obscure Gold Skulltulas and heart pieces you can think of and not inside the temples as those places are completely clean.

So, I am playing Master Quest right now and I just made it to the Sacred Forest Meadow with all the Moblins. And when I got to the final one—the biggest one that sends shock waves your way and you have to dodge them to get past him—I am always reminded back to when I was a kid and was playing Ocarina of Time with my Dad watching me. He saw that I got past the Moblin and was attacking him from behind. After seeing that, he goes and says: “Well, that’s not very honorable, you shouldn’t attack someone from behind. That’s the coward’s way.”

After he told me that, never again did I attack that Moblin from behind. Haha. I always got past him without killing him until I got the bow and arrow so that I could shoot him; or I sent Bombchus his way. I still do that!

Wind Waker Remake Announced!

It’s headed for the WiiU for this Fall!

Quite honestly, I think that Wind Waker is the LAST game in the series that needs a remake. But, I suppose this is nice, too.

Am I the only one that thinks that it would be freezing inside the Silent Realms?

As you guys might or might not be able to tell, I have been playing Majora’s Mask and that is still what I am doing. Takin’ my time and such. I’m currently at Ikana—best part ever, omg—and perhaps by the end of the night, I would have finished the game as a whole. I kinda don’t want to, I wanna enjoy the game more~

Ya kno’, many people seem to think that Tingle’s a loser. I’ve always wondered why; the guy is far off from being a loser!

So, how do you feel about the Zelda fandom? What are you favorite aspects of it? Which ones do you hate the most? Is there a topic you hate talking about because you felt the other person/people got out of control? Which was it?

Original ask sent by: fowo. I just thought this way would be better to answer.

The relationship between the two is very difficult to speak of because of how little information we know about Fierce Deity within the game. The information about Majora it self is a tad shady as well, so connecting the two together isn’t an easy task. If we were to start somewhere, I think it would be best to start with the fact that Majora him self gave Link the Fierce Deity Mask when he noted that Link no longer had any other masks.

When Link puts on the mask, he takes on a new form exactly as he does when putting on the Zora, Deku or Goron Mask. That suggests and within this mask, there is also a spirit trapped. Who trapped it there? Unsure. However, I like to trace that back to the Happy Mask Salesman and where ever he came from! Why? Well, he knows the Song of Healing. This song, as we all know, “heals” restless spirits and seals them within a mask; when this mask is put on, the user takes on the form and powers of the spirit inside. Where does the Happy Mask Salesman come from? Did he create the Song of Healing? If he didn’t then who taught it to him?

I like to believe that he did create the Song of Healing. Why? Well, he seems to be an expert on masks; I can believe that he’s found a way to create any mask he wishes and has several ways of doing so. So, if he did create the Song of Healing that must mean that he created the Fierce Deity Mask. There’s no way to deny or prove this because of the Happy Mask Salesman’s mysterious origins. Some people think he’s a Sheikah, some people think he comes form the Moon. The latter seems to be the more accepted theory because the Children of the Moon resemble him—or what we can see of them—and they all say that they want to be mask salesmen when they grow up.

However, in contrast, he does posses the Mask of Truth. As we know, this mask is a treasure of the Sheikah, passed down among them. Why does he have it? Did he steal it? I doubt it. Did he just find it laying around since the Sheikah vanished? I can see that since it’s exactly what Link did with the Lens of Trust—yet another relic believed to belong to the Sheikah. Something I can say is that I doubt him to be a regular Hylian. I haven’t seen many Hylians that could vanish into thin air at will…

So, if the Fierce Deity is yet another spirit trapped inside a mask by the Song of Healing, then who was he in life? Was he a God like his name suggests or was he a powerful swordsman? I looked at his attire for clues and he doesn’t have much to go by save for two symbols on his chest plate. On the right breast we see a triangle and on the left, we see a moon. (This is looking at his picture and not actually being him.) Where have we seen symbols like that before? The triangle: could that be one of the pieces of the triforce? Could it be maybe the one at the bottom of the original Hylian Shield? That forth piece many people believe to exist.

And if not, could it be the Triforce of Courage? Unsure and we have no way to make sure at all.

As for the moon, it is yet another symbol which has been found within the Zelda series:

Granted, it’s not the same entirely; but I doubt it takes much away from the fact that it is a moon and that the shape has been seen on another artifact. Could this creature have come from the Gerudo? His physical appearance seems to dismiss this, it’s VERY far from the traditional Gerudo appearance. When we go back to the moon shape, it might hit us right in the face: the game revolves around a giant Moon coming down on Clock Town. Maybe those two are related and Fierce Deity came from the Moon as one of the Moon Children—believed to be Majora—had the mask.

Our question goes unanswered, but that’s alright for now. Now we have to move on and wonder: why does Majora have the mask? Why does he give it to Link? Was he not aware of the great power that was inside the mask or did he not care about it? Did he think he could defeat it? And if so: why? Was it his rival in ancient times? How did they come across one another?

We can start by noting what Majora says when giving the mask to Link. He gives Link the mask because Link has no other masks and because they wee going to play a game. Majora is the good guy and Link is the bad guy and he always runs. But the thing is that Majora says the same thing even if Link doesn’t get the Fierce Deity Mask. Link is the bad guy here because he’s stepping in and ruining his fun. This leads me to believe that Majora—much like the Skull Kid—is intending to play a prank on the land of Termina. One that gets out of hand, but it’s alright because it’s just a prank! That’s a very child-like mentality and maybe that’s why he gave Link to the Fierce Deity Mask, children are often very confident. Over confident when they play a game that they’ve played before and are apparently good at.

I believe that Majora has done this before and probably the main reason why he was sealed away. Or even more so: he tried this once before and he was stopped. Possibly stopped by the God inside the Mask. It seems possible that the God allowed him self to be turned into a mask so that he may grant his power to anyone just in case Majora came back. I mean, when you play as Fierce Deity Link, you’re pretty much unstoppable. I blame the fact that Majora gave Link the mask because he’s not all that sane. He surely doesn’t act like it and everything was a game to him.

Help?
