Nintendo confirms Termina was a dream

>In the official Hyrule Encyclopedia, it is stated that Termina is nothing more than a figment of the Skull Kid's imagination brought to life by the mask, and that once the mask was defeated and Link left, Termina ceased to exist.

>According to Nintendo the ending of Majora’s Mask is almost the same as Link’s Awakening. In other words, Termina ceases to exist and everything you have accomplished other than saving Skull Kid, is for naught. How you ask? Well, when Skull Kid acquires the evil mask from the Salesman, it preys on his spirit and loneliness. With its power, Skull Kid dreams up a fantasy world based off of his experiences in the real world of Hyrule and makes it a reality. Albeit a temporary reality, more like a parallel dimension that only lasts as long as Majora’s power does. So when Link defeats Majora and purifies the mask, its power fades, and after Skull Kid and Link spend one last day there, so too does the land of Termina.
Read the Hyrule Historia

but, there's a whole cutscene about how skull kid met the two fairies at termina before getting the mask, and they even left a drawing there.

Bruh

You would know this if you would have played the game. It's pretty obvious.

Sounds dumb, I'm going to ignore it.

>dumb gaijin book
Yeah, I don’t care

Why can’t we have this kind of quality writing in Zelda anymore?

I always interpreted Majora's Mask as a dream but thought it was a manifestation of Link's fucked up psyche after the stress of his OOT adventure and being forgotten when he was sent back. Did you ever notice all the weird stuff in the game that supports this, like how the moon is Ganondorf? Pic related

That's a fanbook.

No. Those are the woods that connect to Termina. Termina is literally only seen post mask.

Twilight Princess should have released in 2003 as the MM sequel. It’s what everyone wanted & WW seems more fitting as a wii exclusive title anyway

Didn’t the credits show termina after link left?

Duh. Nelly confirmed that back in 2010

I mean this was always somewhat obvious
In the beginning of the game Link is just going through a forest then he meets Skull Kid and falls through what seems like a portal and all of a sudden he's in the clock tower
It just doesn't make any sense this must've been the point where he entered Skull Kid's "dream"
The only person that seems to be real otherwise is the mask salesmen who is conveniently in the tower at the beginning and the only one who shows up at the end because he's hinted as being some weird magical being
Also this scene might be implying that Skull Kid is also drawing on some of Link's memories to create Termina which is why so many familiar things show up there

The game flat out tells you that its right outside the swamp. You are looking at it when she tells you about it

So wait, the events in MM did occur but ceased to exist once link left? Like Skull Kid manifested real locations (albeit fake) or what? Or it's a literal dream.

Holy shit they really do look similar, I never noticed that before.

Yes
OP is a fag like always

>Well, when Skull Kid acquires the evil mask from the Salesman
So the salesman is real.

Its right outside of Termina. Termina is a finite plane. We see that the warped connections leading to the swamp come from reality. Use your brain fivehead.

Is he a god?

No. That book is retarded fanfiction written by some soi drinking california who probably never played a zelda game beyond BOTW

>Remember all that stuff you did to save Termina? Well none of it matters because it was a dream anyway lmao, they actually all died when Link left.
okay m night shamalayan

Cope

This works if you buy into the theory that Skull Kid and Link are the same person.

I mean, sure, I guess
But I don't really care for that interpretation at all

Skull Kid is already in Ocarina of Time.
> The Skull Kid in Majora's Mask is known to be the same Skull Kid for whom Link played Saria's Song in Ocarina of Time; this is implied at the end of the game when the Skull Kid says that Link has the same smell as the fairy child that taught him a song in the woods.

Hyrule Encyclopedia was written by staff at Nintendo Dream and the book itself states they took creative liberties when it comes to lore/story details

A skull kid is in Ocarina of Time, not THE Skull Kid. OOT's enemy manual outright states that there are more than one.
If you buy into the idea that they are the same person, Link becomes a Skull Kid after wandering the forest searching for Navi, and that's the one that gets the mask and goes on a rampage.

Fun fact: all the moon childen have salesman's face beneath the mask for unknown reason

How do you play this game with that shithole timer? Like i get going to retrive the sword at the beginning of OOT and going to see zelda after beating the tree ect. Theres an obvious quest you can take your time with. I have no fucking clue where to go when you appear at the town and the timer breathing down my neck constantly doesnt help me focus. Fuck this game but i love its atmosphere. Need more creepy zelda.

>How do you play this game with that shithole timer?
After you learn the song of reverse time, the timer ceases to be. It stops being a factor because it will never take more than three days to clear a dungeon.
You get the song of reverse time by just figuring out the puzzle that lets you confront skull kid at the end of Day 3. That's all you have to do.

user you realize you can just reset the timer whenever you want right?
Really the whole point of the game is to manipulate time so you can just do whatever you want
If you hate timers in games Majora's Mask is like the ultimate game for you to basically get revenge on timers
