Majora- From
Creation to Destruction
As he saw the sword come closer, Majora realized that he had lost. After hundreds of years, it was all
over. The young hero would never show
him mercy, but then again, Majora didn't really want it from the little
boy. The time that it took for the
shining blade to come closer seemed to be forever. Majora began to reflect on everything that had happened during
his long, twisted life…
It all started at the beginning of the world's history. The whole planet was in ruin. Chaos was everywhere. This was all to the fault of one being- the
dark wizard Majora. Majora had landed
on the planet 100 years earlier. His
race was parasitic. They started out as
little insect-like creatures, and fed off of the energy of the planet and other
living creatures that came near. When the time was right, they would go into a
pupa stage, and reawaken as a beast reflecting their interests. Majora wanted power, and he got it. He hatched as a wizard hoping to enslave and
destroy the world on which allowed him to live. He had turned creature on creature and element on element. He also had help from his generals, the
Guardians: Odalwa of the Forest, Goht of the Mountains, Gryorg of the Water,
and the Twinmolds of the Desert. With
all of the killing and destruction, Majora was growing ever stronger. Soon he would be able to reproduce and send
his offspring to other planets so they could face the same fate. The alien felt that he was unstoppable,
until one fated day. Also from nearby
planets, the 3 Grand Sisters, as they were called, descended onto the
world. Their names were Din, Farore,
and Nayru. They would not allow
Majora's wrath, so they confronted him.
Majora was immensely strong, and even the 3 Sisters were no match for
him. However, the Sisters won, and the
great battle resulted in Majora's power being reduced to a mask. The Guardians were also turned into these
objects, but then destroyed. Majora's
Mask was sent to the far reaches of the world.
From here on, the Great Sisters became known as goddesses. They then healed the world of the pain and
suffering that Majora put it through.
They created realms, including Hyrule (which was the first and holiest)
and Termina. At the end, Din, Farore,
and Nayru combined their power into the Triforce, but that is another story.
Majora's spirit still lived on in the mask. In order to reawaken, however, he would need to gain power once
again. The planet wasn't providing
enough energy, and it would take years to drain energy from all of those living
things again! But what living things
would come to where he was? He was in a
desert area! After years, the wizard
found his victims. The Oinqua tribe
were of the desert. They were very peaceful, so why were they so secluded? The Oinquas had the gift of magic. They were chased away from the towns out of
the jealousy of the people. Still being
persecuted, they had to run to where no one would follow. In the towns it was a victory, but it was
also very shameful. To hide their
shame, the villagers talked of the Oinquas as savages, and that's how they are
still known today. For the magicians,
desert life was hard, but they could survive.
Sadly, they were the perfect victims.
Majora used his weak power to call out to the Oinquas. One day, a little Oinqua boy happened to
hear a groaning noise from under the sand.
He started digging, only to find a purple mask staring at him with big
yellow eyes. What a find! These magic people loved to masquerade
around in beautiful masks on all occasions.
This one wasn't beautiful, but it was still interesting. Majora wasn't that pleased. His first victim was a child! Well, he thought, it was better than
nothing. As the boy raised the mask to
his face, it began to glow. The child
tried to remove it, but it was too late.
Majora had struck!
The elder of the Oinqua village, Neksos, sensed something was wrong with
his son. He summoned Bano, his eldest
son and a fierce warrior, to find his little brother. Bano was the most powerful Oinqua. His fighting skills and magic power were superb. Rumor had it that using his power, he could
steal the Triforce from the Western Hemisphere! The problem was that Bano was a strange one. He was introverted, never conversed with the
others, and another rumor said that he sold precious secrets to the townspeople
who had rejected him! Everyone,
including Neksos, was afraid to question him on that. He was known to practice black magic at
night, and people were afraid that they would be a victim if asked! Bano was truly fierce! Even so, he had a soft spot for his
brother. He was terrified of anything
ever happening to him, so he dashed to the desert after the news. When Bano got to his brother, he was
crushed. He lie lifeless in the sand
with the mask next to him. Bano yelled,
unsheathed his sword, and was about to crush the mask when it came to
life. Majora would use his little power
and newly gained energy to attack this one!
He paralyzed Bano with his gaze, and flew over to his face. Bano was helpless in this situation. The great Bano was actually rendered
helpless! Majora planted himself on the
warrior's face. He felt a great power,
but he wouldn't be able to drain him right away. Why? Bano was
fighting. He would not let a mask take
over him completely. Majora, in his new
body, returned to the village of the Oinqua.
What an energy overload! The
wizard immediately started to destroy.
The people started in horror.
They thought that Bano had finally gone crazy. Only Neksos realized that his son was being controlled. However, he was too weak to stop him at the
moment. By that night, Majora had
destroyed the whole city and drained every person of their power. Every person, except Neksos. The old man challenged the wizard. All day he had been in hiding to bring his
magical power to the maximum level. He
wasn't afraid to fight his son's body, for he knew that the soul was already gone. The spell that Neksos cast was amazing, and
the evil mask was stunned. Flashes
filled the air, and a giant explosion of power ended it all. Majora and Bano's body had been
separated. All that was left were 2
masks- Majora's and one of the old man's son.
It wasn't really of his son, but of Bano's dark spirit mixed with a
little of Majora's hatred. It was the
mask of a fierce deity! Neksos realized
that the 2 contained an unspeakable power, and no living creature must ever
come in contact with them again. He
went far away to the Western Hemisphere.
He created a pyramid in the Haunted Wasteland, and sealed the 2 dark
forces there. Neksos then cast a
barrier around the pyramid so no one could reach it. (You can still see this pyramid today, but you will get lost
trying to get to it!) Hopefully, he
thought, the powers of the Triforce would keep them sealed forever.
Neksos, tired and hungry, stumbled into Hyrule. It was here that he settled down. No one of this hemisphere knew of his
people, so he was safe. Also, magic was
welcomed here. Neksos fell in love at
the age of 65, got married, and he had a son.
He taught him all about his people and their love of masks. He also told him to disregard any tale of
the Oinqua being savage and sacrificial.
Of course, he told him of Majora's Mask.
Majora was furious. Beaten by an
old man! The temple was filled with
holy energy. It was weak, however, and
Majora converted it to dark energy and absorbed all of it. Then, he started to hear voices calling out
to him. The Fierce Deity began to
speak. "Work with me" it said.
"Together, we could rule the world."
Majora would not have anything to do with his first victim, so he bonded
with it, giving him little energy.
Still, the voices called him.
What were they? Majora looked
around, and he saw the spirits flying around.
He knew them very well, for the were the 4 Guardians! "Help us" is what they called. If Majora liked anyone, it was those four. Summoning the little strength that he had,
the wizard drew the spirits inside of him.
One day, he thought, he would release them, fully powered, to reclaim
his land until his revival. Suddenly,
Majora gained a burst of energy. It was
from the Guardians and the Fierce Deity.
It was enough for him to dig out of the temple! The dark mask started spinning. He was going to get out of his prison was
the last thing he ever did.
Neksos tried to keep the spirit and truth of the Oinqua alive, but it failed. 15 generations later, the story was that they were evil magic
users who used Majora's Mask for sacrifice!
Milo, a far descendant of Neksos, was raised with this story. Milo was quite a strange man. He was very happy. Actually, he was a little too happy. The story of the magic tribe that he grew up with was strange,
but it spurred interest in his history.
He was really interested in the fact that they liked masks so much. He was even pushed to creating masks, just
like the ancient tribe. At the age of
15, he was a serious collector. At 30,
he started his own business. He called
it the Happy Mask Shop, and it was located in Hyrule Market. The point was to go out and advertise the
masks, but Milo hated to leave them alone in the shop. Instead, he would have people rent the masks
and work as wandering salesmen (and women).
Business was always bad. No one seemed
to want to help him, so Milo was quickly becoming poor. Eventually, his first and only customer
arrived. He was only a little boy, but
he managed to sell all of the masks.
This gave Milo enough money to actually buy the building that his shop
was in. Our happy friend was out of
debt, but he didn't have enough money to do anything himself. After a few months, Milo decided that it
would be best to go out an sell the masks on his own. After putting a closed sign on the door of his shop, he set out
to find masks and sell them, even if it meant traveling to other realms.
Traveling to other realms was a big thing. You never knew what or who you would encounter. However, Milo's cheer kept him safe, and he
was lead to many masks. After
about 6 months, he had seen all of the
Western Hemisphere. It was time to go
back home. Now, you are probably
wondering why he stopped at the West.
Going to other realms was big, but going to "the other side" was simply
crazy. There were rumors about savage
people and unstoppable monsters. There
were no kingdoms, so the East was supposedly in anarchy. Masks were said to be abundant there, but
not even the happy salesman would risk his life for them!
After his adventures, Milo could never sleep. Thoughts of the mask-filled Eastern Hemisphere filled his head
every night. One day, Milo got on his
best clothes and decided to go. He had
Oinquan blood, so maybe he wouldn't get harmed too much. The question was, how do you get to the
East? No boat would go out that far,
and no owl would be able to fly over the vast ocean. Milo asked around town.
After a lot of questioning, he discovered that a strange portal was in
the far ends of the Lost Woods. The
portal was said to take you away to another world. The happy man figured that this portal took him to the East. He immediately set out to the Lost
Woods.
In Kokiri Forest, Milo was greeted by the little forest people. They wished him good luck and gave him many
gifts. Out of all of the presents, the
most valuble were the Kokiri mask and the mysterious Song of Healing. The leader of the Kokiri told him that the
song might come in handy when encountering troubled souls. The leader also warned him about the
mischievous Skull Kid, and how he may be interested in the masks. Milo took the warning lightly, and set off
on his journey.
The forest seemed to welcome Milo into it. It even seemed as if a path opened up leading him to his
destination. He came upon a clearing in
the woods with only a large open log.
He went through, and ended up falling through tons of foliage. Lights and visions of the West became mixed
with that of a new, beautiful place.
When he laded, Milo was in a mechanical building. He worked his way up the nearby stairs and
opened the door. He expected to see a
jungle, but instead there was a beautiful town, as civilized as that of
Hyrule! People were scattering here to
there, doing everyday business. Milo
soon found out that this was the realm of Termina of the East. The East was nothing like the Western
rumors. It was as advanced as, if not
more than, Hyrule. The people had many
different masks, and business was great.
Milo soon found out that there were 7 parts of Termina: Clock Town, the
ranch, the swamp, the mountains, the bay, and the canyon. On his first visit he could only explore
Clock Town, but he was ready to see it all.
Milo went back home, but returned the next day. He decided that half of the week he would
stay in Termina, and the other half we would go home. While traveling, Milo did end up seeing all of Termina. The only thing that he never saw was the
straw man who followed him all of time!
The Skull Kid wanted those masks!
After hundreds of years, the dark wizard Majora got his way out of his
prison. He was still in the desert, and
he had little strength. His time was
not over yet! Just then, a strong wind
blew through the area. Majora was
lifted up along with the sand, and landed on a fortress. The trip drained the last life energy away
from him. All he could do was quietly
call out. If anyone ever put the mask
on their face, it would be only then that he would be able to possess the
person and start draining energy again.
A woman then approached him. She
picked up the strange item and looked at it awkwardly. A mask!
How did it ever get there?
Gerudos have no use for those childish things! The woman was about to discard it, when she got an idea. She put the mask in a bag and jumped on her
horse, heading straight to Hyrule Market.
It was a dark and stormy night.
Thunder boomed and lightning lighted the sky. From inside the houses, people could hear the hooves of a horse
coming down the streets. The sound
stopped in front of the Happy Mask Shop.
A loud banging on the door woke Milo up. Who would want a mask at this time of night? He answered the door, only to see a Geurdo
on a horse at the door. "Mask man," she
said, "take this." With that, she threw
the bag into the shop and vanished into the darkness of the night. Milo closed the door, and approached the wet
bag with caution. A strange feeling was
rising from it. As opened the bag, and
his face froze in horror. This was the
Majora's Mask from the legend!
Questions filled his head. How
did it get out of its prison? Why was
he so unlucky to have received it? What
should he do with it? Sounds came from
the mask. It sounded as if it was
telling Milo to wear it! As happy as
could be, Milo wasn't stupid. He knew
too well what was said to happen to those who wore it. Because he was the only ancestor of the
ancient tribe, he had to watch it or get rid of it for good. Majora stared into Milo with his yellow
eyes. This man was a descendant of the
one who sealed him up!
Off Milo went. Through Hyrule
Field, into Kokiri Forest, deep into the Lost Woods, and at last into
Termina. He would seal the mask in
Ikana Canyon. It was the home of many
dangerous spirits, and Majora would fit in just nicely. In his rush, Milo hardly noticed the little footsteps behind him or the
annoying ringing. Out of Clock Town,
Milo was in such a rush that he forgot the direction of Ikana! Instead he was running straight to the
swamp. It was then that he realized the
laughing. Was it coming from the mask
in the bag, or someone else? Perhaps it
was one of the monsters that was in Western stories about the East! Milo was so scared, he hardly had time to
feel the imp knock him on the head.
Skull Kid had struck!
The Skull Kid wasn't a bad guy, he was just a lonely troublemaker. Even with his two fairy friends, Tatl and
Tael, he still wanted more. At the
first time that he saw the mask man, he wanted those masks. At last, he found the right moment to get
them! The man was knocked out, so Skull
Kid immediately started to go through the bag of masks. Tatl, the eldest of the two fairies, told
him to stop, but he didn't listen.
Something was calling to him!
After shuffling through the masks for a few minutes, Skull Kid saw two
yellow eyes staring at him. It made a
strange sound, and almost sounded like it was telling him to wear it. The straw man, without hesitation, popped
the mask on his face, not knowing what would come out of it.
When he came back to his senses, Milo ran all of the way home. He didn't want anything bad to happen
again! It was only when he arrived back
at his shop did he bother to look in his mask bag. To his horror, Majora's mask was gone! What would become of the unlucky soul who put it on their face?
Majora was ecstatic. A host!
It was like living again! He
could now use magic once more! He
looked through the memory of the Skull Kid.
Visions of tricks and loneliness came to the evil wizard. The Skull Kid was a trickster! Maybe they would work together? Majora talked to his host mentally.
"Listen to me," Majora
asked. "I can give you anything!"
Skull Kid was confused. "Who are
you?" he asked.
Majora laughed. "I am something
much stronger than you!" he replied.
"If you do what I say, I will give you power, riches, and people will
respect you!"
Skull Kid wanted all of those.
"What should I do?" he asked.
Majora thought. He could lightly
possess the body, in which he still let Skull Kid have control, or he could
completely take over. If he wanted to
make Skull Kid his companion, he would have to do it lightly. This was a risk, for if Skull Kid took him
off, it would be all over. "Never take
me off!" the wizard boomed.
"Okay sir!" Skull kid agreed.
Majora had found a partner at last!
If the Skull Kid disobeyed him, all that he had to do was take over his body
and start draining. Once again, the
host's memories went though the wizard's head.
Now, being evil is bad enough.
Being evil and being exposed to trickery and jokes is another
thing. When Majora saw these things, he
turned twisted. Destruction wasn't
enough, but suffering had to precede it!
Yes, suffering along with fear!
As the Skull Kid looked around, Majora remembered how much the world
made him suffer. Also, Majora saw a
vision of the 4 Giants of Termina leaving and hurting the feelings of his
partner. Then he saw the gray moon in
the sky. It should come down, and come
down hard!
It was no wonder why the moon suddenly seemed to grow a face and get
larger every day. Nor was it a question
why the swamp, mountains, ocean, and canyon changed for the worse. Skull Kid was a little nervous himself, but
Majora assured him that it was for the best.
Little did he know that Majora had revived the Guardians and made them
cause the changes! Yes, Odalwa poisoned
the swamp, Goht froze the mountains, Gryorg heated the ocean, and the Twinmold
Sisters put the canyon in more ruin than it already was in. They also enslaved the 4 Giants. Without them, the moon could not be
stopped. Even though summoning the moon
and releasing his generals used a lot of his newly gained energy, Majora still
became strong soon enough. This was
because these changes brought fright and destruction which he grew off of. If the moon hit, Majora would be more
powerful than he ever was!
As the two wandered Termina, Majora
realized that the moon would fall in 7 days.
To make matters better, Skull Kid told him that the Carnival of Time
would take place in 7 days too! How
perfect! Majora, however, couldn't
wait. He told his host that they would
start trouble right away. For 4 days,
the two created havoc everywhere. The
list included starting trouble with the bombers, blocking Romani Ranch from
Milk Road, putting a stone at the entrance of the Goron Racetrack, and even
stealing Lulu's eggs! One of the
biggest bad deeds done was turning Kafei into a child. You see, Kafei was just returning from the
Curiosity Shop, which had just polished up the Sun Mask for only 200
rupees. Kafei still had 300 in his
wallet. He was heading back to see his
future wife, Anju, when an imp snuck up behind him and stole the wallet! Kafei was enraged, and he chased the Skull
Kid all around the town. Kafei ran into
a dark alley, but no Skull Kid. He
turned around to see the thief.
"Hey you, give that back!" he demanded.
"Heehee!" said Skull Kid. "If
you want it…"
Majora interrupted after looking into the man's mind. "Come here lover boy…"
Kafei was shocked. "What?"
"I know all about you and Anju," the wizard replied.
"What are you?" Kafei was scared now.
He lunged at the imp, only to find himself staring at two evil, glowing
eyes. Then he blacked out.
Kafei awakened, only to find
himself looking like a kid again!
Milo was scared. He returned to
Termina a few days after the accident to discover that a lot was in ruin, and a
frightening moon stared over the land.
It was all his fault too! If
only he hadn't been so careless! As
Milo noticed that the moon seemed to
come nearer day by day, he got the idea to go to the Astral Observatory. The astronomer told him that by the way it
was growing, if the moon was going to hit it would be in 4 days. In 4 days, Clock Town would be destroyed and
most of Termina would be in ruin!
After about 4 days, Skull Kid started to feel a little faint. Majora assured him that he wasn't causing
it, and Skull Kid suggested that they go to the Lost Woods of Hyrule to get
some fresh, native air. This was done,
but they weren't the only people in the woods on that day. Link, the hero of time, was out looking for
a friend on his horse, Epona. This
friend was Navi, and he would do whatever he had to do to find her. The Lost Woods was where he first met her,
so maybe she returned after their last adventure. Majora saw the boy and looked into his mind. This child was a hero! A hero would ruin his whole plan. He told Skull Kid to jump the boy, and Link
was soon knocked off of Epona and knocked out.
Skull Kid looked at Link and realized that he looked familiar. To see better, he slowly removed the mask
from his face for a second…
When the mask was put back on, Skull Kid decided that the boy wasn't
worth the trouble. He tried to leave,
but his legs wouldn't move! It must
have been the mask! He attempted to
take it off, but his arms would not respond.
Skull Kid could hear a menacing laugh in his head.
"HAHAHAHA!" Majora laughed. "You
broke our promise!"
"But, but…" Skull Kid pleaded.
"It was only to see a little better!"
"YOU BROKE OUR PROMISE!" Majora boomed.
"Now your body and soul are MINE!"
A weak yell was the last that Majora ever heard from Skull Kid. The fairies still didn't know that the mask
was doing anything to their friend.
Majora stole the boy's horse and left.
He knew that he would be followed, and that's when this hero would face
his doom!
(Hmm? you are probably puzzled.
Didn't Majora also steal the Ocarina of Time? When Link reset time for the first time, Majora never did steal
the Ocarina!)
Link chased the masked imp through a large open log, and he fell through
tons of foliage. When he landed, he saw
the large, yellow eyes staring back at him.
It was time for Majora to have his fun!
With a few words, the wizard cast a spell upon the boy. It would turn him into his greatest
fear. In a few seconds, Link was a Deku
Scrub! How stupid! There was no way, NO WAY, that a wood person
would be able to stop him. On top of
that, there was no way for Link to beat all of the Guardians in a mere 3
days! Majora thought that he had
won. He left the area that Link was in,
and also left behind the eldest fairy, Tatl.
Who cared? He though. Soon it
would be time to eat them both anyway!
Majora ran through the clock tower, only to run into Milo. The happy man was waiting at the clock
tower's exit, ready to recapture the mask.
Milo, however, was no match for the dark wizard. Majora hit him with a blast of energy, and
Milo was once again knocked out.
When he awakened this time, he saw
a Deku Scrub approach him. Milo could
see that he was only a victim of the mask's evil spells. He then remembered the song that the Kokiri
taught him, the Song of Healing. Milo
decided to teach the scrub the song in exchange for getting Majora's Mask
back. After the magic, the happy mask
man realized that Link was not an ordinary child! Even with only about 3 days until the disaster, this boy may be
able to stop Majora, and maybe even defeat him once and for all. With that, the little boy in green left the
clock tower. It was only then that Milo
realized the dilemma. 3 days! 4 Guardians! There would be no possible way, unless the boy could alter time
itself…
Majora had seated himself at the top of the clock tower. 3 days!
4 Guardians! There would be no
possible way for the young hero to defeat him!
The moon would crash, creating death, fear, and destruction. He would use this to gain full power, and
then take over the world once again. He
would consume all of the life energy of the planet, and leave it like it was
before the interference from the Grand Sisters. He would make the people work for him and eat them when they
disobeyed. Nothing stood in his
way! The youngest fairy, Tael, kept his
distance from his old friend. He knew
that the mask was doing something to him.
Skull Kid was deathly afraid. He
knew that once the moon hit, Majora would no longer spare him. He hoped that somehow, Link would save the
people again.
It was the night of the Final Day.
Majora watched the moon stare back at him. He did a great job of making it look like himself! Clock Town was nearly empty now. The only people still there were some
foolish humans who wanted to see the Carnival of Time. The clock struck 12, and Majora
laughed. It was only a matter of
minutes until he would be reborn! It was
at that moment that a figure emerged from below the tower. It was Link! He could hear the spirits of the Guardians coming from him. Majora was outraged. How?
How could anyone do all of that in only 3 days? There was no way that he would have his plan
ruined at this point. The moon must hit
now! He summoned some of his power and
made the moon pick up speed. The time
of impact had been reduced from minutes to seconds. The earth screamed and shaked.
Majora, however, had acted too late.
Link had already summoned the 4 Giants to stop him. As the Giants came nearer, the moon picked
up speed. It was still too late. The guardians of Termina had already had the
moon in their grasp. Majora released
more energy to make it come harder, but his body collapsed! Yes, the weak straw body couldn't handle the
power being exerted from it. Skull Kid
dropped, and so did Majora. "No" he
thought to himself. "It's not over
yet." With that, Majora's Mask rose
from the ground and laughed. The energy
he had gained wasn't the max, but it was enough to bring him almost to his true
state. He would still consume
everything! Majora went into the moon,
knowing the child would follow him. Of
course, Link did. He could see that the
Giants couldn't hold the massive rock forever.
He had to defeat Majora once and for all.
Majora wanted to confuse Link. He
made his moon a seemingly peaceful place.
When Link entered, the Guardian Masks left him for the center tree. A tree?
Blue sky? Well, Link WAS
confused! He expected to see something
a lot more twisted. The hero approached
the center tree, only to find what looked like kids running around. Link knew that these weren't real kids, but
the Guardians with humanoid bodies. He
had already defeated them, so he paid them no attention. Link was looking for the bright yellow
eyes. He found Majora sitting under in
a shady area, also with a human body.
Majora was smart. He knew that a
battle would come soon, so he needed to conserve his energy. When Link approached him, the wizard was
overcome by a twisted idea. He would
defeat the boy indirectly! Majora
remembered what had happened over 100 years earlier. Memories of the Oinqua and Bano ran through his head. He still had the Fierce Deity Mask as a part
of him! The foolish child would
probably take the mask, not knowing that it would take over his body and
soul! When Link was ready, the final
battle began…
Once again, Majora was no fool.
He wouldn't unleash his ultimate power until the end. The front of his face was impenetrable, so
he flew around and taunted Link. He
taunted him until he put the evil mask on.
At one point, Link finally did.
To Majora's horror, nothing changed about him. Bano was attacking him once more! Majora didn't realize that even though the Fierce Deity was evil,
the Bano part of him still hated Majora for taking his life. He would work with Link to defeat the
wizard. Majora was being beaten badly,
and had to summon the power of the Guardian Masks. The Fierce Deity and Link finished them off without mercy. Majora tried to use a weak flame beam, but
the Deity was too strong. With a slash
of the Lunar Sword, Majora's Mask was beaten!
Majora was near death. He had to
use most of his energy now! With that,
the mask was reborn, but it changed into a thin, crazy beast. Majora ran around the room. Maybe it would invoke fear in the hero's
brain, which would help him get stronger.
If only he could be his original self again! Unfortunately, the insanity created little fear. The Fierce Deity Link once again slashed the
wizard to it's defeat. However, the
final blow used up all of the Fierce Deity's power. The mask dropped off of Link's face. He would have liked to keep the power of the ancient warrior, but
the mask caused no transformation when put on his face again. At least Majora was defeated, or so he
thought…
It was time. Majora had to win
now. He made himself believe that the
energy that he had was enough to make him the dark wizard once again. Link saw the crazy incarnation stand and get
pumped up. Majora even grew tentacles
for arms. This was not what he
expected! This was not…him! He tried to make himself stronger, but no
luck. At least the Fierce Deity was
dead. The boy couldn't beat his power,
could he? Majora whipped Link whenever
he came near. Oh, was Link in
pain! The Triforce of Courage made him
continue. Link ran to a corner and put
a light arrow in the bow. He fired, and
Majora screamed. Not the power of
light! He tried to use magic, but he
had no energy left! A storm of light
arrows hit him, and Majora felt his power fading away. Link approached and Majora attacked. Link didn't care about pain. He wanted to rid the planet of this insane
creature. Ganon was bad enough! Link raised his sword and slashed
Majora. He roared in pain and doubled
over. This was it! All of his life was for this! The glory of ruling the world, the survival
as a mask, the defeat of a race of people, and even the tormenting of a realm
would end in a slash by a boy! The sword
came down hard, and Majora screamed in pain and anguish. His body started to disintegrate, and his
screams faded away. There was an
explosion, and all that was in Majora's place was a lifeless mask! The evil wizard had finally been defeated!
After grabbing the mask,
Link was transported outside of Clock Town.
The huge moon was slowly breaking apart. Termina was saved! Link
approached Milo, who was standing nearby.
He handed the mask man Majora's Mask.
Milo was amazed. He didn't know
how he did it, but the land was saved and the evil had left the mask. Skull Kid came over to the two and
apologized. He also made up with his
old friends, the Giants. Link,
exausted, said goodbye, and continued his search for Navi. Skull Kid promised never to cause trouble
again. As for Milo…
Termina didn't seem to terminate after all. In fact, it seemed to have been reborn. News of the "Seven Day Scare" had reached all over the world, and
everyone (even those from the West) flocked to the realm. The great invisible barriers were broken!
And as for the happy mask man?
After questioning the giants, he discovered the truth about his
ancestors and Majora's Mask. He
journeyed to Ikana Canyon, which was once the desert of the Oinquas. There, he created and dedicated a monument
to the magic people. One night, Milo
lit torches around a rock near the monument.
On top of this rock sat the once evil mask. With he help of a Goron, a giant boulder was smashed on it. Majora's Mask was in hundreds of
pieces. The smashing was to assure
himself, the spirits of the Oinqua, Link, Skull Kid, and everyone of the planet
that the great evil was finally gone.
