    Is Fierce Deity Link the coolest Link of all time?

  • @Max-rz8br
    @Max-rz8br 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5758

    The Fierce Deity is probably my favorite piece of Zelda lore ever, even though I think it was originally just an excuse to somehow use adult Link's OoT model in Majora's Mask.

    Just a head's up: according to an interview of Aonuma, Fierce Deity is based from Japanese folklore about a vengeful protective spirit born from the hearts of the common people.
    Which explains why you need all the non-transformation masks just to get the FD mask: the masks you collected contain the hopes and wishes of the people you've helped in Termina.

    • @DontKnowDontCare6.9
      @DontKnowDontCare6.9 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +19

      Those arent just kids. Theyre a Buddhist metaphor for the 5 eastern elements and 5 Buddhas (even the tree in the moon is representation of the Bodhi tree). By defeating the kid with Majora's Mask, Link achieves the Brahman his ultimate self. In this case, it explains why Fierce Deity looks like an adult Link. Coz its his ultimate self.

    • @soulhealer6154
      @soulhealer6154 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

      @@DontKnowDontCare6.9 one cool thing to think about is that in skyward sword, link also goes through a journey to unlock his ultimate self, and skyward sword also has quite a few Buddhist references like the first temple you do to purify what will be. The spirit of the hero, what each incarnation of link is reincarnated with, is the spirit of skyward sword link, who again, has unlocked his ultimate self. I believe that the fierce deity is the pure form of the spirit of the hero.

    What is interesting about the Fierce Deity's mask is its the only mask with an 's. Which means it actually belongs to the Fierce deity, which according to majora is an evil even beyond him. Sometimes you need something even more evil to vanquish evil.

    The Fierce Deity's Mask represents the morally nihilistic nature of the world of Termina. Outside of Hyrule, Link has no "chosen hero" status; there is no Master Sword to claim and no Zelda to guide him, both of which symbolized the inherent righteousness of his quest in previous games. He may still hold the Triforce of Courage, but there's no real reason to think that it has any meaning in Termina.
    In order to obtain the mask, Link must first give away all of the other masks which represent his good acts of service. He then talks to the fifth moon child, who gives him the Fierce Deity's mask, representing pure godlike power. The child presumably speaks for Majora since they wear Majora's mask, and dialogue with them seems to indicate that, like the Skull Kid, Majora is at its core a lonely kid figure. Majora-child tells Link "you're the bad guy" and things play out accordingly. Majora's forms have absolutely no chance against Fierce Deity Link. He mercilessly pounds away at Majora (who gave him the very power he is wielding), seemingly fulfilling the role of "bad guy" that was assigned to him.

    • @arthurbarros5189
      @arthurbarros5189 2 ปีที่แล้ว +79

      I kinda disagree.
      Link is the hero of time.
      On OoT, he is a renewal and a new age free of evil.
      On Termina, he is the end. The whole game is about death. You spent the entire game avoiding death, in a way disturbing the natural order.
      Link does not give up in life and still brings a new age. As the hero of time, it is like he's giving a lesson.
      Time goes on. Even after your death, there will still be happyness and good times.
