Talk:Fierce Deity Link

Fairly decent article, but I advise you to only include fact in your submissions. There is no fact concerning the Fierce Deity. All that is known of his background is that he is evil and has some relation to Majora. Do not include speculation in your articles in the form of fact. If you want to include speculation, make perfectly clear that what you are saying is only guesswork.

This article is almost completely composed of the glitches to become Fierce Deity. Very little is mentioned about anything in his background, even theories. --Yuvorias 23:33, March 2008 (EST) as

New Editions
The new section to this page 'Who is the Feirce Deity?', in my opinion contains too much speculation for a wiki... such as saying the Interlopers of TP worshiped him, which has little clause considering they're in different parallel worlds. Though it has a theory warning, there isn't evidence in support of it... so I think this section should be worked on, removing the said stuff and more... 22:06, 19 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Some of it is interesting, but the Dark Interlopers thing, yeah, definitely doesn't work, for a number of reasons. As for the rest of it, I'm afraid I'm not yet really familiar with how much speculation this wiki tolerates on its articles.... Jimbo Jambo 08:38, 20 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Generally just sticking to facts is best... however popular and significant theories can be added to the page with the theory warning template. Ideas that are solely personal and carry little evidence to support it are probably best not to be added. 21:34, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Theory
I have compiled a theory of Majora's Origins, and it concerns Fierce Deity Link too. If you want to read it it's on my talk page. I think that Fierce Deity is the spirit of The Hero of Time that keeps getting re-incarnated. I also believe that the traveler in the MM manga was Fierce Deity. Is that worth mentioning in the article? --The Keeper of Majora&#39;s Mask 22:42, 2 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Because this is an encyclopaedia we attempt to stick to the known facts. When it comes to theories, they can be added to the page if they are well known and are quite a widely believed theory. It isn't appropriate to add every theory each individual has. If you've posted your theory on a forum or like place and it has become known through there, it may be acceptable. Lastly, theories that are added have to be factually strong ones with in game evidence to support them. So, at the moment I would say your idea is not up to mentioning in the article. 19:42, 3 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I see... --The Keeper of Majora&#39;s Mask 19:46, 5 April 2009 (UTC)


 * For clarification purposes there is currently a ZW Theory Policy being constructed. 22:02, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Japanese culture reference
At the end of Majora's Mask, if you get the Fierce Deity Mask, Majora wants you to play a game of tag with him (in the localized version, Good Guy Bad Guy). In Japan, when you play tag, the person that's 'it' is called the 'oni,' which basically just means ogre. (It can mean demon, but ogre is more specific.) So essentially to Japanese players, becoming the Oni made sense, even though it seemed to come out of nowhere in English. I think a note of this should be made in the article, perhaps in the Trivia section. ~Hirohiigo


 * This is more than just a theory, this is pretty much all the basis to Fierce Deity Link that exists. The whole finale of Majora's Mask is a play on how Majora plays with people's lives like a child playing with a toy. The children in the field, the wearing of masks, the behavior of Majora's Incarnation, it's all just games to Majora. The final game Majora wants to play is this Japanese version of tag where one person is the Oni. Link's mask turns him into the demon, and they play. That's also why Majora's Incarnation runs around like it does. It could also be argued that by 'tagging' (defeating) Majora's Incarnation, Majora becomes 'it' and turns into Majora's Wrath. Japanese players would understand the reference, so the manga follows this line of thinking also. Violet 21:05, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
