Waste Land Party. Heyo, yeah, it's me again. I am doing another episode for my host and I've been trying to make things a little better financial wise by working extra so that my host has a little bit of money in his pocket. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, this is Waste Land talking to you from the mind of a person that's in your timeline. So the brain is not from the timeline, but the person is. Basically, I'm mind controlling this guy and, even though I don't know how to get out, I'm trying my absolute best to make his life a little easier by making sure he has money in his pocket and, you know somewhater lay his head at night with bread, money and whatnot. So it's just a lot of things.
Speaker 1:
And I recently started streaming because I also saw that my host used to stream, but it's like he gave up on it or something. So I did everything that I could and I started a new revamped Twitch channel as him, as a PNGTuber or VTuber, whatever you guys call it here and I hope he appreciates it when he comes back. If he ever does come back, it's possible that you guys are just gonna have to get used to me being the guy that you talk to instead of the other guy, but regardless, I couldn't decide on a subject and with everything going topsy turby, playing different games with different people, I'm learning all these current games that you guys play, like Fortnite, and you know simple games like Uno and Dead by Daylight, and you guys seem to still have a decent taste of what's fun. But one day I was just perusing through the retro games that my host had and I happened upon Majora's Mask and I was so happy that the Legend of Zelda, majora's Mask for the old, I mean for the Nintendo 64 is still a thing here. So I opened it up, I played it and it's still as crazy as I remember it being, where there's just quests after quests, after quests and they're technically there, but they're technically not there. It's not like the way it is now, where you forget that you have a quest and go oh look, let me go back to my inventory and see all the active quests that I have and just check them out and then you click on it and then you go to the waypoint whatever.
Speaker 1:
This one was a game where you had to actively be curious about the whole world in order to complete those quests, and that's not something I'm like gonna really get into, because it's such a great game and those who haven't played it, I don't want to spoil it for you, but I will give you the premise. The game is about Link. After Ocarina of Time, he goes out to look for Navi. It was the fairy that left him after he completed his quest and saved the kingdom of Hyrule. In Ocarina of Time he goes out and looks for Navi at least we assume that he is, because there's a lot of theorization going on that you know. I don't want to say anything, but a lot of cool theories behind Majora's Mask. So he happened up on this skull kid with a mask and he gets robbed and the skull kid has two fairies with him. One of the fairies stays behind while the other fairy leaves with the skull kid. Now that Skull Kid has what's called Majora's Mask and, like I said, I'm not going to spoil anything. I'm just going to tell you that that mask is real powerful.
Speaker 1:
And what is crazy is in your timeline, that's where Majora's begins and ends. There's nothing really concrete when it comes to Majora, but in my timeline I knew what Majora was. Everybody knew who Majora was and, like I, dug a little bit deeper and there's no other games that have Majora in them. And we had at least two games that had Majora in them and there's no information. I try to dig and dig and there's nothing on Majora at all. It's just what the mask is called, majora's Mask. Now, I don't want to mislead anybody on false information and theories and rumors and all these things. This is just something from my timeline that was a fact, that then anything could be a fact in your timeline. That's what makes it so grand so many infinite universes out there and so many possibilities of things happening. Now it's going to get a little complicated, but let me try to get down to basics Now.
Speaker 1:
The origins of Iroh and all that stuff in my timeline showed that the goddesses weren't the first beings that existed. They showed that before Nairu, before Favor, before Din, there was a being that had no name. You guys know it as the fierce deity and that being was the emptiness that was between the Triforce, because, if you guys remember, the Triforce has three triangles and then there's an empty upside down triangle in the middle, and that's what he represented and that was the emptiness that couldn't be changed by the goddesses when they created the Triforce. Originally Now, the fierce deity was a very powerful god, but he was a very angry one too, and he created the goddesses to try to become a kinder person, to become something more forgiving and understanding. That never worked, and as a desperate attempt to change the deity, the goddesses tried to extract all the hate that he had inside of him. And when they did that, they created Majora, and Majora was of unknown sex and unknown origin and it was just purple with eyeballs and very similar to the way the mask looks, and Majora, being basically hate incarnate, tried to take over what was empty space back in the day and tried to somehow consume the Deity and the Three Goddesses, and they casted Majora into a planet, and that was actually the original origins of the Hyrule planet. Whatever it's called I know it's just called Hyrule but the reason why the Goddesses originally made that planet was to imprison Majora, and Majora's evil is the root of all evil. So they made the earth, then made the earth, favore made the vegetation and Nairo made the water, and those were all sort of things that they added to prevent Majora from escaping that tomb. And years went by and the Goddesses being very kind and now the Deity, being very kind as well, started feeling bad for what they've done to something that they've known for so very little, which was Majora, and they added life to the planet they created in an effort to sort of convey or show Majora that you know, look at these beings and inhabiting together. Even though they look different and they act different, they can live in peace. So we can live in peace too. And that started the first Hyrule Kingdom.
Speaker 1:
Until one day Majora escaped because of a curious king that kept digging for minerals in Death Mountain, which created Death Mountain in the first place. And from there there was a big fight between Majora and the goddesses and the deity, but the deity, being very, I guess, fatherly, stopped the goddesses from helping and fought Majora himself. And when he fought Majora, he used this weird ability where he basically tried to delete himself and Majora because Majora was part of him. And as they were slowly disintegrating, the goddesses came to them at the latest possible time and, if you keep in mind, this was during very early ages of civilization, and these Hylians wore masks to get along with the other species that lived with them, which were the Goron and the Zora and the Kokiri at the time and it just so happened those were the only objects that were around when the Hylians scattered, seeing the battle between Majora and the deity, and the goddesses had to fuse both of them to masks in order to preserve both of them, because the goddesses loved both of them, because they were all loving and all kind, and that was the origin of Majora's mask and the fearsteady mask, if you guys wanted to know. And from there they were guarded and kept secret by a clan of mask shop owners or mask makers and they just went down being passed down generation by generation.
Speaker 1:
It's really weird in a lot of the Legend of Zelda games that the goddesses seem to really trust Hylians a lot Like a lot, a lot Like wow.
Speaker 1:
But yeah, that's that and that's one of the things that I just found weird about this timeline that there was a whole game dedicated to that sort of premise. When Majora got unleashed and Link destroyed him or her with the fearsteady mask, it was refused again and the deity became one again and returned to space to rule next to the goddesses, and the game after that showed that again, because the evil part of him was still in there. He was at war with the goddesses and it started a new game called Legend of Zelda and the goddesses fate. So I don't know if you guys want to know about that. I only started talking about this particular thing because I had a listener recently asked me to do another podcast for the Legend of Zelda, and they've always been very good to me, so I did them the favor and gave them that. But I'll try to keep making episodes as often as I can and I hope all of you have a great day and always, always, remember that any possibility is possible as long as someone can conceive it.
