*Brac's name is likely the result of a misinterpretation during localization. In Japanese, no name is mentioned, but it is possible that the localization team mistook the word {{Romanize|テツヤ|Tetsuya}} as a name, and thus created an English alternative.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote= The Europe/Gamecube updated text accurately reflects the actual meaning of the Japanese text. The American translator most likely mistook テツヤ for a name, instead of “all-night” as it was written in katakana and not hiragana. テツヤ is a fairly common name, so it’s an understandable mistake. When it was being ported to PAL, Nintendo probably became aware of this issue and updated the English test for subsequent releases.|author= PushDustIn|published= August 28, 2014|retrieved=September 24, 2015|url= https://sourcegaming.wordpress.com/2014/08/28/brac-the-character-never-meant-to-be-majoras-mask/|title= Brac, the Character Never Meant to be (Majora’s Mask):|site= SourceGaming|type=}}</ref> | *Brac's name is likely the result of a misinterpretation during localization.

*In {{TMC|-}}, the names of the Carpenters are similar to the {{Plural|PH|Knight|link}}, being Bremeur, Brant, Doylan, and Max, which might explain [[King Mutoh]]'s name. | *In {{TMC|-}}, the names of the Carpenters are similar to the {{Plural|PH|Knight|link}}, being Bremeur, Brant, Doylan, and Max, which might explain [[King Mutoh]]'s name. | ||
