After 24 Years Majora’s Mask’s Community Is Still Debating What The Game Is Even About.

Majora’s Mask has been out for over two decades, yet there are still debates about the most basic things regarding Majora’s Mask. Up to the point that people are still discussing what the game is even thematically about? Is Link dead during the game? Is the game about healing? About friendship? About grief? Is Majora’s Mask about Link dealing with his lost childhood or about him coping with his own death. Is the game about changing identities or about Buddhist themes? Is Majora’s Mask a dream or is it literally about Link searching for Navi.
What is Majora’s Mask’s story even about?

In this video we are going to take a deep dive into all those questions. We will explain Majora’s Mask’s story. The meaning of the stone tower, the questions of the moon children, the words the happy mask salesman says at the end, whether Link is dead, if the five stages of grief are represented in the game, the symbolic meaning of the sidequests, what the four main areas represent, the subtext - everything.

It’s my attempt to shed some light into Majora’s Mask’s darkness.
