IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ !!
here’s PART ONE of a vague timeline of Majora’s “life” / existence and the most important events that occurred within it. some minor inspiration taken from the Tower of Babel theory.
CHAOS. Nothing. Emptiness. the Primordial Darkness. whatever you wish to call it, it is the Beginning and the End of all things. before there was Life, before Creation and before even the Goddesses, this is what Majora was before it gained sentience, and before it was split apart and awoken by the Goddesses.
CREATION. the Golden Goddesses give shape to the Emptiness, Light to the Darkness, Order to the Chaos. they steal from it, and create, among other worlds, Hyrule and Termina. this angers Chaos and simultaneously gives it awareness and a mind of its own.
CURIOSITY. although angry and hateful of the Goddesses and their creations, the entity is also curious of them and deigns to meddle in their affairs, hoping to turn them against their creators. some of the ancient tribes choose it over the Goddesses and worship it, christening Chaos with a new name: Majura, meaning ‘Other Truth’.
CONFRONTATION. time passes and with it comes progress. the old ways are forgotten and exchanged for new ones. the practices and knowledge of Majora fade. slighted and infuriated at this perceived betrayal, the eldritch god strikes out at the world, causing massive destruction and threatening to end all of the Goddesses’ work. although unable to defeat the entity alone, the Goddesses answer the prayers of their people and create, from their hearts and will to survive, the Fierce Deity. after a long and difficult battle, the Fierce Deity manages to seal Majora away into a mask that formed from the entity, before also becoming a mask. both fall from the heavens to the world below, scarred but saved from Majora’s wrath.
CURSED. Majora’s mask is discovered by the Ancient Ones, who use it in a variety of hexing and torture rituals, irreparably polluting the god’s mind with insanity and sadism. Majora influences them to build the Stone Temple in its honor, as well as a tower tall enough to reach the Heavens and depose the Golden Goddesses with its power. this earns the Goddesses’ ire and the Ancient Ones were cursed for their hubris. realizing their mistake too late, the tribe could only leave a warning for others before being trapped deep in the temple, their fate sealed along with Majora’s mask.
COMEBACK. even after many millennia, legends of the accursed mask spread in whispers throughout the world, telling of its terrible but great power. listening to rumors and combing through bits of ancient history, the happy mask salesman learns of the mask’s whereabouts, intent on possessing such a rare and powerful artifact for his collection. found within the bloodstained depths of the derelict Stone Temple, where Majora’s corruption turned the once lush landscape into a hellish, inhospitable desert, the merchant retrieves the cursed object. Majora, however, was not content to be the prized mantlepiece for the salesman, and when it sensed Skull Kid nearby, ripe with anger and loneliness, it seized its opportunity for escape and to enact its long-awaited revenge against all of creation ...
