Hyrule Encyclopedia is literal fanfiction and even has a disclaimer saying so. Pay anything it says no mind.
I don't know about that. After all, Bayonetta's is ripped straight from the source. Nearly identical in a whole lot of ways.
Okay, that's a good point. I think what I was trying to say was he probably wouldn't rip a character from somewhere besides their source material? Like if Impa got in, I don't think she'd use her Hyrule Warriors abilities. I could easily be wrong though! We'll see.
Is that true? It's in the same series of books that the Hyrule Historia was in, published by Dark Horse and officially liscenced by Nintendo...
"This section covers both original and remake versions of key titles in the series, including HD rereleases, using the same names where referenced generally. It draws from in-game content as well as developmental and promotional materials, connecting the stories and worlds presented in each title as naturally as possible. Where necessary, the writers of this book added their own interpretations and expanded upon the games' stories. It should be noted that the events described here are also subject to revision, as new trials may await the people of Hyrule in ages to come."
Don't forget the bit where the Happy Mask Salesman says he knows about how Link is a hero, and he's been following him on his travels. Meaning, the Happy Mask Salesman was following Link throughout his adventure in OoT, and after Link was sent back in time into another Timeline, the Happy Mask Salesman followed him into the past of the new timeline. This would mean the Happy Mask Salesman, and likely the Skull Kid, are able to jump inbetween dimensions/worlds and possibly into different timelines or points in time. Seeing as Skull Kid clearly has a history in Termina, and assuming it existed before he took the Mask, he's been able to freely jump between Termina and Hyrule for ages.
Nevermind that the nonstandard game over of the moon actually falling and killing everyone, including Link, is implied to be undone by the Happy Mask Salesman. He's clearly a weirdly powerful figure.
It's also interesting to note that the mask sales man clearly vanishes into thin air at the end of Majoras Mask, it kinda makes me wonder, if he's that powerful why doesn't he attempt to take back the mask himself?
Well, I could think of a few reasons.
eh....he sounded a bit disappointed. Why would he lie anyway?
Maybe he was trying to manipulate Link into thinking he was disappointed to sell the idea, maybe he lied so Link would stay off his tracks, and wouldn't try and stop him.
Perhaps.......the Mask Salesman was one of the Sheikah who created the Mask. (yes I believe that the Sheikah made the Mask)
It's not necessarily confirmed that the Happy Mask Salesman is a Sheikah. Or that the Sheikah created the mask. But seeing the strong resemblance between the Fused Shadow, and Majora's mask, and the Sheikah Emblem on the back of the fused Shadow, it's likely that the Sheikah played some role in Majora's Mask.
The only hint we have of the Mask Salesman is a Sheikah is the fact he has red eyes which are exclusive to the Sheikah.
I also believe the Sheikah made the mask. I don't know if he is a Sheikah himself necessarily, but I suppose it's a possibility!
True, but that's where the resemblance seems to end. All the Sheikah leading up to Breath of the Wild only had silver/white hair, I believe. It's also a possibility that The Mask Salesman's eyes are red due to the fact he's immensely angry whenever we do get to see his eyes.
That sounds both impressive and hilarious. I just realized I cant double post, how do I delete?
Just throwin it out there but just because Sheikah is a tribe in the Zelda universe doesn't mean that the ancient tribe mentioned in MM is one and the same, not everything has to be tied up to each other
They are the only tribes we know (besides the Twili) that know Dark Magic. You can see it clearly in the Lens of Truth (sounds a bit funny heh) as well as the Shadow Temple.
Well, it's not too far out there to assume this is another tribe we've yet to hear of. After all, you have Skyward Sword and the Demon Tribe as an example. And the Wind Tribe. And the Dark Tribe. And the ancient barbarian tribe BotW talks about. And the Zuna tribe... The list goes on.
In addition to that, the Sheikah symbol has three triangles above the eye, and Majora's Mask has three triangles above its eyes as well. It's obviously completely unconfirmed (obviously the mask doesn't have the teardrop symbol), but it's not an unrealistic theory.
wow, I never noticed that. Very good point
Holy crap, I love that design, I wish they went with that instead.Also, something I thought was interesting.
In concept art, Midna wore a mask that strongly reminds me of the Moon or the Mirror Shield in Majora's Mask.
Honestly I can see why the Happy Mask Salesman is Chuggaaconroy's favorite Zelda character.
I think it's possible that he blows it to summon a puppet. It could also be part of a taunt or victory animation. I could see a taunt where he pulls out one of three musical instruments: an ocarina, the pipes, or a flute. Maybe randomly selected like Pac-Man's taunt?
Make it a long taunt like Bayo's so he can play Saria's song in full on whatever one he pulls out.
I know exactly what you mean. I pre-ordered Breath of the Wild, and got it the day it came out. 12:30 AM. It was amazing and so surreal to have held not only the switch, but breath of the wild in my hands for the first time.
