Return of Majora

Long ago, in a land that cannot be found in any map of Hyrule, there was a tribe. It was a prosperous tribe, one that lived with nature. Ever since the four great ones went away from the town, they lived alone, with no one but themselves and their guardian.

But, one day, dark clouds covered the sky. They could feel that something was wrong. Then, as if from nowhere, a demon appeared. Its name was Majora. It turned their prosperous land into a desert. Their only defence was the great gate, which never opened.

But, they knew that it wouldn’t be enough, and created something, that they could defend they’re selves with. The result was a mask. A mask, which wielded power that matched that of Majora’s.

They then chose their greatest warrior, who put on the mask. He felt extreme pain course through his entire body. A flashing light! And then, he saw the power of it. His entire hair and armour were made of pure silver. And his blade, oh the blade...it was as big as himself, he had to use both hands for it and, therefore, couldn’t use a shield, but it didn’t matter, he could feel power coursing through it. Its shape was odd, it was like two curved blades that crossed each other and then joined at the tip.

He then heard the sound of Majora, trying to break in. He jumped over the gate, not wanting to break it, and came down with his sword, thrusting deep into Majora. But that was all that he needed. Majora was defeated, after only one blow. He left the corpse and looked at the castle.

He couldn’t be bothered to jump over it, so he just smashed it with his sword, such was his power. He then saw a man running to him, saying “I appreciate you defeating Majora, but destroying the gate? We already see your power, no need to show off!”

“Shut up.” Said the chosen one, who had vanquished Majora. That man, he knew him. He was always so annoying, and now, after he had saved the entire tribe, he just complained, about some gate that was rotting anyway. He had had enough. He waved his blade at the man. A wave of energy shot to him and, when it reached him, cut him up, as if a sword had cut him.

Hearing the screams, his wife came out. She screamed at her husband and, when he didn’t respond, she screamed to the masked one “You monster!” She then took her husbands sword and ran to him, with the intention to kill.

“The people here sure are noisy.” He said and then killed her. The rest of the tribe came out, because of all that screaming. But, with his extreme power, he slaughtered them all, mercilessly.

He looked upon the empty town and felt no regret of what he had done. After all, they had been asking for it. He then heard a faint laughter behind him. He saw Majora lying, closer to death than life.

Suddenly, he noticed what he had done. Horror struck him, as he saw all of his friends, lying there, dead... He tore the mask of his face and cut it apart, with his normal sword. But, it wouldn’t even scratch. He threw it into a fire and, when he saw that it didn’t burn, took a hammer, from the local blacksmith, and hit the mask, while it was still in the fire. Yet, it remained unharmed.

“It’s no use; it was imbued with your tribes’ magic.” Majora said. He couldn’t stand it and took the mask from the flames and put it back on his face. He then thrust the sword, straight into the middle of Majora, and made his mask’s power flow into it. Majora started collapsing into its middle and, eventually, forming a mask, Majoras Mask.

He then took off his own mask, naming it, Fierce Deities Mask. Fierce, for the evil intentions within it, and Deity, for its godlike power.

“Forgive me, I must stay here, at Ikana Canyon, and spell the doom of our tribe, the Shiekah of Ikana Canyon, or it shall be the doom of all the others, Deku, Goron, Zora, Gerudo and even Hylia. These Masks cannot be discovered by anyone else.” And, there, he stayed, until his very death.


Yet, many years later, the will of Majora opened a gate into another world, Hyrule. There, a traveller found those masks, and kept them, away from all else. But, in a forest, an imp stole Majoras Mask. The imp put it on and, through magic, the demon sealed within took over his body and took Fierce Deities Mask, with.

They then went back to the land of Termina, the place where Ikana was located, and made a moon draw ever closer to the land beneath. But, like an answer to a prayer, a hero, from the land of the adventurer, came forth and freed the land from Majoras curse, with the help of Fierce Deities Mask. But, this hero could control its wicked powers and the rest of Termina was safe.
