  • Dark Aspects of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (Episode III) unearths the inspiration behind the unearthly alien invaders of Romani Ranch known only as “them”, or “ghosts”. This is a look at the adversity some of the best characters in the game suffer with--from the down on her luck ranch manager Cremia caring for her younger sister Romani & their inherited livestock, to the dejected troupe leader Gorman (who left his notorious twin brothers for a chance at a better life).

    I remember this pretty well though it seemed to me for a while that the aliens performed something like a lobotomy. That might be too dark for a Zelda game but then again Zelda was never afraid to go dark especially for a Nintendo property. Got to give credit for the holiday season plan of let's go investigate ghostly like beings that became the template for the darkest Zelda game

      For sure--that's a very "stereotypical" alien thing to do, along with the cattle abductions. Romani certainly has all of the symptoms of a scrambled brain...the game of course wouldn't have been able to spell that out or explicitly show it, so they just had to heavily imply it!

      @@ThaneGaming that is a pretty brilliant and screwed up way to get around censorship. I also really appreciate the depressing ending of the Deku Butler and his son where no matter what the player does the son is still gone with his father now depressed as he sees what's become of his son

      @@christopherballero866 That's really one of the more depressing moments in the game. The 100% completion end credits imply to me that a timeline exists in which Link went back and helped everyone, then defeated Majora. There's no helping the Deku Butler and his son though, as the latter's death occurred before the three-day time loop Link can manipulate. It's also sad to imagine the Goron and Zora peoples' lives after the game ends--Link saved them all under the guise of the respective tribes' heroes (Darmani & Mikau), but they'll inexplicably vanish again once he leaves Termina...

      @@ThaneGaming I never even thought of the idea that the Deku Butler nor his son could be saved at least in theory. I presumed that after the credits most were happy as the game heavily implies that almost everyone was happy except for the: Deku Butler & his son and perhaps the third Gorman brother. I didn't even recognize the possibility that the Gorons & Zoras could still get wiped out

    You know what? I found out what those ghost aliens are in game! You can find this information about monster sightings when you cure Pamella’s Father in the Music Box House! After you heal him and go back to the house, there will be posters of monsters and he’ll share info! Also show him your monster masks! Great video!
