Talk:Majora's Mask (Object)

What evidence is there for the suggested symbolism of the mask's four spikes? Its certainly not included in the manga chapter that sourced the rest of the "mask-origin" info... -PIE

... and based on that staggering responce, I'm removing the content for now. It can be restored if the eivdence is cited.-PIE

So um. If you get the F.D masks you no-longer have the other masks? - Dead without a corpse; Garo Ninja

Only for the remainder of the cycle. After you return to the 'Dawn of the First Day' you will recover the lost masks (and retain the FD mask). You won't even really notice; wearing the FD for the first time vs Majora, you won't even think about other masks.-PIE


 * Yeah, i just beat it today so i guess i found out anyway. Thanks. - Dead without a corpse; Garo Ninja

In the reference, it says the Happy Mask Salesman went to great lengths to obtain Majora's Mask. I'm guessing this is refering to him crossing from one parallel universe to another. User: Link of Vey

Worth Mentioning?
Is it worth mentioning that it's possible the Ancient Tribe that worshipped Majora's Mask could possibly be the ikanians? I mean there's a statue of it as soon as you walk in the Stone Tower Temple! -The Keeper of Majora's Mask


 * It may be worth having a passing mention of the possibilities of who this ancient tribe may be, within the theory section. It doesn't need a large theory saying that the Ancient Tribe is the Ikanians, because that isn't proved in any way. So be careful about how you go about it. Make sure you have a read of the Theory Standards. 22:18, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

majora's mask's spikes
i think they represent the 4 areas of termina (yellow-canyon, red-mountain, green-swamp, blue-great bay) as seen at the gates in clock town

That's plausible. --The Keeper of Majora&#39;s Mask 20:07, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Not Possesed!?!
When i saw the article that says that Skull Kid did not take on Majora's mind or personality, but was rather possessed, they(Nintendo) are suggesting that Skull Kid was not possessed at all, because technically, if Skull Kid's Personality or Mental State was not altered, he wouldn't have been possessed! And they also said that Skull Kind used the power of the mask to curse and Prank those around him, are they suggesting that Destroying Terminia was some kind of prank? Was Skull Kid trying to prank everyone in Terminia at the same time?-Jedi 11:38, 5 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Well. The mask was influencing him. Skull Kid thought it was just a prank, but the mask was manipulating him. 13:35, November 5, 2008 (UTC)

Scared Unconscious
In the Theories section, it says that the Happy Mask Salesman was "scared unconscious," but I thought it was clear in the game that the Skull Kid attacked him, which resulted in him becoming unconscious. -Naokohiro 14:30, 13 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Hence the section being marked as a theory. Because not everyone will agree to it. 16:53, November 13, 2008 (UTC)
 * I thought maybe it was a typo, because I can't really see someone being scared unconscious. Have you ever tried to scare someone so badly that they literally fainted? Sure it can happen, but the Happy Mask Salesman was very protective of his masks. Unless he has some sort of sleep disorder, where loud noises make him drowsy... Naokohiro 05:20, 17 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I've tried. With no success. 05:42, November 17, 2008 (UTC)

He said himself he was attacked. I don't think that a cute little Skull Kid could scare The Happy Mask Salesman unconsious. I mean, he found MAJORA'S MASK. He would have been able to handle it. --The Keeper of Majora&#39;s Mask 20:06, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Matt, I kind of doubt the original theory actually involved the Happy Mask Salesman being scared unconscious. In fact, I doubt anyone actually believes that. It should either be removed from that theory for having nothing to do with it, or just taken out completely or changed to something more appropriate. Jimbo Jambo 20:33, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

=Add a New Theory?= I have compiled a theory myself on Majora's origins, and I think that it has more validity than the ones mentioned in the page. I was wondering if I should post mine, if it was good enough. It's on my user page, please take a look. The Keeper of Majora&#39;s Mask 04:58, 1 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I think for the most part, these are theories that are common around Zelda forums and less of a compilation of everyone's theory. But I normally suggest placing a new theory in your talk page to show it around, build up support for it, and develop it further. 07:04, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

I see...

Thanks, I'm very new to this. The Keeper of Majora&#39;s Mask 19:52, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

= a pedantic legged-being =

What does this phrase (a pedantic legged-being) mean? It seems to have been in the article since June '05 and survived dozens of edits intact, but I can't make any sense out of it. Rootbeer277 21:00, 19 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Dictionary says "hi" 21:18, 19 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, the dictionary and I are old friends, thank you. However, the specific trouble that I'm having is not one of simple definition, which is easily remedied by such measures, but rather one of context, which the world's greatest programming minds are still struggling to implement in a way that can be resolved by way of a Google search.  You see what we have here is a "phrase", which is a semantic grouping of words intended to collectively convey a meaning, and while each individual word is perfectly valid and sensible, the combination herein does not appear to be comprehensible.  Part of the problem is lack of appropriate punctuation, leaving the duties of the individual modifiers ambiguous, but even considering both possible cases (i.e. pedantic-legged being vs. pedantic, legged being), I am still unable to conceive of how either a pair of legs or a sentient, dancing, fire-breathing mask demonstrates such characteristics as inappropriate concern with minute details or formalisms.

Name
The name of this article seems redundant, especially considering that the article seems to be covering the demon Majora rather than the mask itself. Should it just be moved to Majora? Ganondorfdude11 04:14, 6 December 2009 (UTC)


 * There definitely needs to be separate pages for the mask and boss, as one has a lot of backstory, while the other i s a boss all in itself, and there's enough information there for the both of them. So I surely think some splitting here can be made. 02:17, 18 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Well...whatever you guys think is best, I'm all for it. If it needs help with references, I'm always willing to help out. :) Dany36 02:45, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Split
This is a warrant for splitting this article into two separate articles amongst Majora's Mask (Object) and Majora's Mask (Boss). It isn't a simple split as much of the information on here is cluttered one of the reasons for splitting this. This article is currently featured, and under these current conditions, there's no reason why it should be. 04:57, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Please place your edit in the section which represents your stance. ✅
 * 1) I'm for it. And could those annoying infoboxes please go away? No reason to have three of them in one page! Dany36 05:02, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) As a (more than) legitimate boss, I'm suprised Majora's Mask (Boss) wasn't a page already. Go for it. It would greatly focus the article topic as well. 05:08, 30 December 2009 (UTC)


 * 1) Now everything is messed up and I have to fix all the redirects and links and create the boss page.  04:11, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Majora's Incarnation=Thursday in Japanese?
In the Majora's Incarnation section, it says that it's called もくようび in Japanese, which is nothing more than Thursday, at least as far as I can find, and it's all it means as far as I know (I've taken Japanese for several years now). So, I'm wondering where that information was pulled from, since there's no tag? Or maybe someone whose more fluent than me can prove me wrong. Zoidwhiteshadow 18:25, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
