Zelda Theory Majora's Mask In The Other Timelines

It has been some time since the official Nintendo The Legend Of Zelda timeline has been revealed, but the timeline doesn't reveal everything. It tells you when in the timeline the games take place but not the events between them. In this theory I'm gonna reveal how Ganon was released by Majora's Mask in the adult timeline which caused the world to be flooded.

Let's begin with what we know.

oot zelda and linkAfter the battle with Ganondorf (Ganon form), Zelda along with the other stages were able to use their powers to seal the king of evil and he reverted back to his original form. Then for Link to regain his lost seven years of time, Zelda sent him back to soon after the start of his adventure. Judging from one of the cut scenes it is before Ganondorf launched his attack and Zelda is still at the castle, meaning this is before Link returned to Hyrule Castle Town after gaining the last Spiritual Stone.

Navi then leaves Link now that their adventure is over and Link sets out to look for his lost friend. Why Navi left and where she went no one knows and no one ever will.

We then enter the game The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask where we meet the Skull kid and the mask itself. We know that Link defeats the mask removing the spirit from it and saved the day. But what we must take from this game to continue with the theory is the location where we first meet Majora's Mask and the Skull Kid.

Well, maybe it wasn't actually Hyrule but it is definitely somewhere in the same world as Hyrule, it is definitely not Termina where the rest of the game takes place. Why was he their? It's because Majora's Mask and Skull Kid went their that they met Link and he was able to foil the evil mask's plan. To understand why they were their lets take a look at what their plan was.

I don't think that Majora's Mask planned on his own destruction so I doubt he planned to stay their. Even if he did plan to stay and watch what then? I'll tell you.

Before he turned the moon to impact Termina he went looking for his next target. That target would just happen to be Hyrule, the place where he ran into Link. That's right! After Termina, Hyrule would be Majora's Mask's next target, and if we look at the timeline again we would see that only in the Child timeline did Majora's Mask appear, but what if he did appear in the other timelines.

Lets move on to the Hero Dies timeline.

Having after come to Hyrule into a world were Ganondorf is in power, Majora's Mask attempts to destroy this world as well. But as the moon drops toward the world Ganondorf takes notice and easily stops Skull Kid (If he's still around), Majora's Mask would get away and relizing the power Ganondorf has with the Triforce of Power and learning of the other pieces as well, Majora's Mask would sachem to take them for himself.

He would wait for the hero and Ganondorf to fight, and after would jump in to finish off the survivor.

What he didn't plan on was Ganondorf's transformation into Ganon which because Ganondorf went wild and lost control of his piece of the Triforce and because he wasn't stopped in this timeline, the transformation was permitting as evident by Ganondorf not appearing in the following games and instead Ganon.

When Majora jumped out to finish Ganon, he was caught and killed by the evil king. So Majora's tale in the hero dies timeline ended.






And finally the adult timeline.

In this timeline Link defeats the king of evil, Ganon is turned back to Ganondorf and is sealed away, but as for Link and Zelda...

link and zelda in the skyThey were apparently transported somewhere else, meaning that Majora missed his chance to attack. Link was sent back in time and the Triforce of Courage was hidden away, At this point Majora could of just dropped another moon on the world but wanting more power went to find a way to obtain the Triforce of Power for himself.

Eventually Majora would be the one to release Ganondorf, most likely to then attack when he's off guard or maybe he meant to just release Ganondorf's Triforce piece, either way Ganondorf was back and he made sure to finish off Majora this time. Ganondorf would then go attack Hyrule and with no hero around because he was sent back into the past and the spirit of the needed more time to reincarnate, the Gods decided to flood the lands leading to the game the Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker.
