The sad tree is the son of the butler at the deku palace. His son went missing. He either died on his own or skull kid killed him. Either way, skull kid probably fused his soul with yours to turn you into the deku scrub.
Yeah, the theory I was referring to is whether or not Skull Kid killed the scrub in the first place. I personally think he didn't - as you see a pretty linear progression of evil from Skull Kid as he goes from being mischievous at first to eventually murderous. It wouldn't fit that timeline of corruption by the mask for Skull Kid to have killed the scrub. But then the question is... how did the scrub die?
This is the only way I will watch a Majora’s Mask walkthrough. It’s too creepy to watch someone playing seriously…and I 100% mean that as a compliment!! Y’all are awesome. :D
Oh gosh! I love when you both randomly fill in the blanks with the storyline along with your jokes! 4:27 I love this moment of him wanting to farm for money while the Skull Kid is stealing your horse XD
9:52 Without giving too much away, the theory is that the tree is another character cursed by the Skull Kid, and is the son of a particular character you will meet later.
What Peter needs to know about Termina: it’s a world of sadness and depression, a world of stress and anxiety, a world of death and sorrow. This is one of the saddest games you will ever play. I hope you know that. Also HYPE for this series! I’m so glad you guys are finally getting the this game, also glad Peter remembers Oot because you need that. It would be cool if you played the 3DS remake with Henriki Magnifico’s HD texture pack and Project Restoration but this is great too! Also will this end up on BLP?
Not sure if this will end up on BLP, but there will at least be a few more episodes on this channel before we look at the data and make that decision :) Either way, I will make Peter play through this whole thing in front of a camera. One way or another.
It's rare to see someone that hasn't played this game. I always enjoy watching people play it for the first time and seeing the new reactions. Hope you have fun with the rest of the game
Excited to see this game played through. I have not played this game and really don't know much about it other than the time mechanic so it will be fun to see the plot.
"There it is. There's the mask from Breath of the Wild!" "IT'S THE GUY FROM FORTNITE-" and now i'm over here crying, weeping, sobbing, screeching, screaming, melting, dying because WHY WOULD YOU SAY IT
Its not a theory, it gets confirmation in the credits, the masks you get have the souls of the people that leave them behind, you become them when you wear them, so that deku scrub must've come from somewhere...
Not the poor deku scrub child 😭 he's the one that skull kid unalived in order to turn you into a Deku scrub. All transformation masks are the souls of the dead who you turn into. In the credits, you see the butler crying in front of that scrubs husk and when you met him in the palace, he said that you reminded him of his son
@@The8asement it really stuck out to me the first time i watched the credits because the whole concept of them is showing you all the people you helped being happy and then there's just him crying
So cool to see this played on the N64. I tried playing at a friend's house but got frustrated with the mechanic of the game so never progressed in it. This looks like it will be a fun series!
The fairies had an interesting naming convention that I've never seen anyone mention. The one that joins you is Tatl (white) The one with Skull Kid is Tael (purple) So before she got separated from the group, it was Tatl, tael and skull kid Tattle-Tale and Skull Kid
My favorite unconfirmed theories are (in no particular order): * The land Termina is Lowrule, as Lowrule lost their triforce and hence also the protections of the gods, inviting chaotic gods into the lands like Majora. The land switch names from Lowrule to Termina(L) due to being doomed. * The fierce deity is either the god personification of Links reincarnations, or Link's spirit in a godlike form * Link is dead/trapped in the lost woods forever before becoming the Hero's shade in Twilight princess, now this theory is very controversial due to requiring Link to impregnate Malon at the age range of 10-12... Personally, I don't believe Link is dead, but that the story leans more into Japanese religious storytelling. * (My favorite theory) The Happy Masksalesman is the Devil or some powerful Khomi and Link makes a deal with him at the start of the game. Due to powers, objects and deities having way more power in Termina than Hyrule, one can deduce that the "reward" or Link's end of the bargain is immortality until/if he leaves Termina and the Fierce Deities mask. The latter is speculated because of another theory that the children in the moon are different personifications of said happy mask salesman. The immortality is due to whatever happens to Link, whether he dies by moon, turns back time or saves Termina (displaying the "dawn of a new day"), Time always goes back to "dawn of the first day". This theory strengthens the Link is trapped theory, but since he procreated with Malon (which is canon) one can conclude that he made it out and didn't become a stalfos until some time later.
Started this over so I could play along. Glad I got past you in this first sessioon but already had to look up a guide for a part you haven't gotten to yet... I'll let you know when you're there lol! I tried this game once before and quit due to getting stuck. Gotta say I don't like the controls, but I highly enjoy the grit of this game!
Pretty much that Deku tree is a is it dead Deku shrub that died in the woods and is still there and Link's new form turns into a mask which is the dead Deku shrubs soul.
@@The8asement how are you doing today? I'm doing fine myself however my right ankle got twisted a long time ago and still healing from it but I'll be okay. I'm going to be in the special Olympics this summer and going for gold. Anyways, have a great day
So there’s an obvious pronunciation for the fairy siblings’ names Tatl and Tael that together makes “Tattletale” , or you go could more Eastern and get a “Tay-el” or “Tah-el”…but Ted goes straight upper northern Midwesterner with the “Taaaaaaaaaa-el” like he started to say tag and then veered off course. :)
@@The8asement I’m hoping that Nintendo will make it so anyone can play the demo a week before it comes out but it might not happen though, and there are only 2 weeks left!
first time I got this game I rented it from blockbuster. probably the most excited I had ever been for a game at the time and guess what? I couldn't play it because i didn't have the n64 expansion pack RIP
Absolutely! This is just one of our video series - the plan so far is to do one of these episodes every other week on a wednesday. The rest of our content for the near future is various breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom videos! New videos every monday, wednesday and friday
@@The8asement YAY! I LOVE your botw content! I mean there's absolutely nothing wrong with doing something different. I just enjoy botw slightly more because it's the only Zelda game I've ever played. Also, I'm sooo excited to see you guys play totk and I cannot wait to see what you come up with when building!
So cool they made a game about the guy from Fortnite wearing the mask from Breath of the Wild. Graphics are kinda trash tough, but that's probably because of TH-cam. (Please note that this is literally sarcasm)
The sad tree is the son of the butler at the deku palace. His son went missing. He either died on his own or skull kid killed him. Either way, skull kid probably fused his soul with yours to turn you into the deku scrub.
The skull kid killed him and used his soul to turn Link into a deli scrub.

@@The8asement
probably natural causes tbh
@@The8asementthe scubb didn’t die, the skull kid just took his soul to transform link, therefore, killing the scrub

IKR LOL ! I love how they don’t take it too seriously, it’s amazing
It’s not creepy, it is beautiful
You should play it
The fairies' names are Tatl and Tael.
As in, "Tattle" and "Tale"
Oh gosh! I love when you both randomly fill in the blanks with the storyline along with your jokes!

Yesssss! If Peter doesn’t play, we’ll force feed him fish! Mwahaha! (Wasn’t it Peter who hated fish other then cod?)
28:26 The whole “see you got the number of the beast on your forehead” totally took me off guard! XD (I’m so thankful I found this channel)

Ted I love how you do the happy mask salesman's voice!
hey! Thanks! (done in happy mask salesman voice)
@@The8asement lol 😆
"There it is. There's the mask from Breath of the Wild!"
"IT'S THE GUY FROM FORTNITE-"
and now i'm over here crying, weeping, sobbing, screeching, screaming, melting, dying because WHY WOULD YOU SAY IT
Coming back a month later to tell all of you that I'm still sobbing
I'm coming back a year later to ask if you're still sobbing
Its not a theory, it gets confirmation in the credits, the masks you get have the souls of the people that leave them behind, you become them when you wear them, so that deku scrub must've come from somewhere...
I bought the player's guide, too. I was furious all the maps were backwards. I love this game. This is going to be a fun watch.
wait, yours had backwards maps?
@@The8asement Yes. I bought the official Nintendo one.
this is my ABSOLUTE favourite game. this is going to be so fun to watch
Welcome, and come along for the ride! It's going to be so fun watching it through Peter's fresh eyes.
New watcher here. Dude’s voiceovers for the game characters is so good and fitting. Loving the content.
oh my gosh! Look at how pixelated it is! Botw has come a really long way since then! Loving the video guys, as always!
The N64 Zeldas have still aged really well though,Ocarina still looks great tbh
botw is a game not the entire franchise
@@dalehadley3283 yeah totally! Love the game! I feel like my favorite zelda game is Links Awakening or Botw idk
@@shalawnafullmer5190 I guess thats true lol
@@ViEdits00 Never experienced Link's Awakening,Breath of the Wild is fantastic,I agree
True story, I actually waited like 10 minutes on Skull kid playing the Ocarina before I realized I could hit A as a kid. Man I was dumb af back then

The sad part of it all is, no matter what you do in the game, you can never save the Deku butler's son...😔
I've been summoned after a long time! I love Majora's Mask!!💚
Welcome!!!
It’s kind of insane that I used to watch you guys when I was four and now I just come back to your channel
So cool to see this played on the N64.
I tried playing at a friend's house but got frustrated with the mechanic of the game so never progressed in it.

Homie really gave skull kid the Joker treatment
Didn't even know I had it in me!
The fairies had an interesting naming convention that I've never seen anyone mention.
The one that joins you is Tatl (white)
The one with Skull Kid is Tael (purple)
So before she got separated from the group, it was Tatl, tael and skull kid
Tattle-Tale and Skull Kid
The theory upheld about that tree is upheld in the ending credits, I think.
You're right.
Such a good video you should try a randomiser for some of the older games like wind waker and majora's mask

whoa you're right! totally the E.T. walk
@@The8asement that walk scared me as a little girl. I remember is well.😉
You can’t truly be a Zelda pro until you’ve beaten Majora’s mask
I can’t wait to see more episodes of this. Majoras Mask is one of my favorite Zelda games and I personally prefer it over Ocarina of Time.
New play through of majors mask? 👀
YES
5:44 majora's mask is officially griddying
this is the only Zelda game I 100%. couldn't get enough of the world. I was depressed when I realized there was nothing more to do.
My favorite! I love how dark it is
Oh, hype!!!! I’m here for it!
Yooooo! Welcome Dylan :)
im so excited to watch this unfold
How did you all play this game? Did you use switch or another method
Pretty much that Deku tree is a is it dead Deku shrub that died in the woods and is still there and Link's new form turns into a mask which is the dead Deku shrubs soul.
cannot believe Peter has not played this game
What's more impressive is that he's managed to avoid any spoilers for all these years.
@The Basement how did that happen?
@@The8asement are you guys going to do a tears of the kingdom video the day it comes out?
This was actually my first and Favorite zelda game
If keep playing and do the side quests, I recommend taking a picture of Tingle! It's a very fun dialogue
ewwwwww, Tingle, LOL
Why are you calling me out like this? LOL @3:19 I used to do that when I was little
The intro gave me a panic attack thinking link was put into fortnite 😭 😂
Remember it's dangerous to go alone take a sword
YES.
Why hello there! The wonder from down under!!!!
Hello The Basement and the crew.
Hi Dylan! :)
@@The8asement how are you doing today? I'm doing fine myself however my right ankle got twisted a long time ago and still healing from it but I'll be okay. I'm going to be in the special Olympics this summer and going for gold. Anyways, have a great day
I played majoras mask and i thought the camera was so clunky that i quit. 😂
The theory of the tree is that he didn’t pay his taxes and now the IRS is after him very sad stuff
oh wow, darker than I could have imagined!
I love this game bro
The theory is that the mask is of the dead tree that you saw there
I love this game im your biggest fan!
Omg I love you dr doni and I love the basmont
My favorite zelda is majoras mask
Majora’s Mask!!!! YAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!! 🎉🥳
YEAAAH!!!

"Tag"
And Tingle! Finally Peter can fully appreciate the deep legacy of Tingle and his lore.
yeeeeah, "tile". shook my head I did.
The deku butlers son got killed by skull kid and you can see him crying at his dead son in the credits
Were you guys invited to one of Nintendo’s headquarters to play the gameplay demo for totk?
Nope. I don't think we're on their radar. Yet.
@@The8asement I’m hoping that Nintendo will make it so anyone can play the demo a week before it comes out but it might not happen though, and there are only 2 weeks left!

Do you know that ocarina of time is actually 100 years only away from Twilight Princess and the golden wolf/warrior is the hero of time
We have heard that, yes! Super cool that OoT Link teaches TP Link cool moves.
I have never played this game and I have barely have seen this game played.
hold on to your horses! Link should have done that.
@@The8asement Pun intended 😅
So Peter, what do you think of Majora's Mask so far?
I thought that was Heimler 😭
There’s a manga for both Ocarina of time and Majora’s mask.
Didn't like it as much as OoT. Definitely sadder, though. Still a great game.
So cool they made a game about the guy from Fortnite wearing the mask from Breath of the Wild.
Graphics are kinda trash tough, but that's probably because of TH-cam.
(Please note that this is literally sarcasm)
I love this game I played the game it is the best
Man calls himself a pro when he hasn’t even played Majoras Mask.
Yo Zelda tears of the kingdom demo is out I think 🤔
the demo was by invite only and only in select locations
7:37... no they didn't.
Fun fact this game was made in 6 months
The turnaround different between OoT and MM vs BotW and TotK is really something
yeah, those meat arrows really sucked up the development time
You guys are probably exited for the new Zelda game
Most definitely :)
