Dark Aspects of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask uncovers the mature themes of the shadowy sequel to Nintendo's Ocarina of Time. From the origin of the accursed Majora's Mask to the sinister side of the Happy Mask Salesman, this first episode sets up the more unfortunate tribulations this boy who's already lost his childhood has yet to endure.

The Happy Mask Salesman may have been chosen by the giants to guard the mask to make sure that it can never be used.

This is one of the best games in the series because of how much emotional weight is put on the you throughout the game. Every NPC character has a unique story and role, and each has their own needs and problems, making the world feel more alive and raw.

Love this game, my favorite and I always seem to come back to it. Has so much lore in Termina that isn't explained but it's so interesting. Makes you feel like there's more benieth the surface of the game.

A very well put together video man. I've been wanting to get into more Zelda lore and this certainly educated me. I look forward to more!

You really captured that subtle bittersweet tone that defines this game. Top notch work.

Did anybody else notice how similar the skull kid and the happy mask salesman laughs are?

Very great video! For some reason, I vastly prefer watching Majora's Mask content than actually playing it.

Majora's Mask borrows quite a few plot elements from Final Fantasy VII, which came out three years before and was a major reason for the success of Sony's new console. Considering the game's development led to a bitter feud between Nintendo and Square, one can't help but wonder if this was Nintendo's way of "getting back" at its former partner company by lifting some of its ideas! Both stories involve a world-threatening disaster (the Moon/Meteor) summoned by a villain possessed by an ancient power (the Mask/Jenova) that is so dangerous it was sealed away by a mysterious race (the Ikana tribe/the Cetra) until it was discovered hundreds of years later (by the Happy Mask Salesman/Shinra.) In both stories, the hero journeys into an otherworldly realm before the final battle (the inside of the Moon/the core of the Planet), and the world is saved by the intervention of an elemental force of nature (the Four Giants/the Lifestream.) Also in both stories, the villain is physically absent for most of the narrative: Skull Kid is only seen at the beginning and the end, while Sephiroth is only occasionally glimpsed through hallucinations and flashbacks. The major difference is that Skull Kid is humanised and redeems himself at the end, whereas there is no question that Sephiroth is evil. There are too many similarities to ignore. If you're ever stuck for ideas for a future video, this could be a topic worth exploring.

Did u know Aji onuma is kinda embarrassed and ashamed about this game, he said in a quote he didn't know what was wrong with him when he made it. Or something to that effect at least

Really great video though that Happy Masked Salesman is an idiot. He wanted & found an extremely evil and powerful mask then decided to go through a dark forbidding forest. Hard to see how such a plan could've gone horribly wrong

Its difficult for me to pick a side in the debate of whether Twilight princess or Majoras mask is darker. But I would say MM is certainly more depressing.

Something I’d like to say is I think anju’s grandma was indeed right in saying the imp returned to the heavens. I think the imp revered to in the story isn’t skull kid but instead majora before it was transformed into a mask. Let’s look at the evidence, 1 obviously anju’s grandma saying the imp returned to the heavens, 2 if the imp in the story is indeed skull kid it would mean that skull kid has existed since time began meaning he has to be immortal, 3 when skull kid hears the sound of the giants he starts panicking and screaming, 4 majora’s incarnation acts like a child dancing, running around, and even throwing a tantrum when hit, and finally 5 while inside the moon the 4 moon children are wearing the masks of the bosses this obviously is symbolic of the giants but in the center in a fetal position is a moon child wearing majora’s mask and gives you the fierce deity mask if the moon child wearing the mask is supposed to be skull kid why would he have a mask said to be more powerful than majora itself Also majora’s incarnation and wrath look an awful lot like the giants. And as for when skull kid talks to the giants he could have reminded the giants of their old friend and so they became friends also but that’s just my opinion
