Popped over to the escapist for some laughs and debates only to discover this

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/game-theory/9791-Is-Link-Dead-in-The-Legend-of-Zelda-Majoras-Mask?utm_source=latest&utm_medium=index_carousel&utm_campaign=all

There's always been multiple theories but this one seems the most likely, and it reaffirms why i believe this game, Majora's Mask, might be the best in the series.

I remember playing this game at the same time with Ocarina of Time on the Zelda Collectors disks on the GameCube, I found OoT surprisingly easier to play through but I struggled with MM and left it behind. I was, I think 13 or 14.

By 16 I started replaying every zelda game I owned because Twilight Princess was released by then, when I got to MM and payed attention to the subtlties of the story, the blatant references and the themes I was really grabbed. The video brought up ideas I hadn't considered before but upon thinking, it all fits.

I was always hoping for a sequel but now I'll settle for a full remake (seeing as Link may very well be dead).

Anyway, watch the video, it's worth it. Do you think the theory holds up? Is Link simply in another dimention? If the Dead theory is true then how did Link become a Stalfos by the end if he was then freed of grief and if he was, what then turned him into a Stalfos afterwards? That could be a game!

 

This is V Saying "Yeaaaaaaaaaaah! Lifeless Daaaaaaaaaaaaead"


P.S. ever assosiated an album with a game? For Majora's Mask it's the above.

So creepy. Makes me love the Majora's Mask story even more.

I've heard of this theory before around tv tropes. Haven't played MM, but since i'm familiar with the timeline, I think it makes sence.

One of these days I'll play through Majora's Mask.  Many people like the game.  I couldn't get into it when I played it years ago.

That is a cool idea, but I think some people overthink the Zelda stories just a little bit.

Wow! That was a great video; made me appreciate the game way more. 

I tried to play it once, but time limits in games really bother me; however, I still have it, and will give it another shot sometime.

I probably shouldn't have watched this since I've yet to beat majora's mask and the other games mentioned in this video. Very compelling just the same. I'll need to watch more of this series. A great Octoberween video!
