Impressions....
Majora's Mask sends very Racial messages
to children and teachs them that racial methods ... In Majora's
mask there are basically 4 major races.. Humans, Deku, Goron,
and Zora..
In the begining of this game.. Link is minding
his own business when a lonely imp decides to mess with
his life.. he knocks link off his horse.. steals his things
and rides off with epona.. Link follows the imp to retain
his belongings but the imp simply transforms him into the
lowest lifefrom in termina .. a dekunut
The Humans are the most racist out of the
whole bunch.. They populate the main portion of Termina..
Locating themselves directly in the center.. proving to
the other races that they are superior.. Each entrance to
the city has a guard that doesn't allow exit .. A dekunut
is quickly thrown away from the entrance.. being a dekunut
in clock town is hard.. children even hate you.. they call
you 'deku scrub' and throw things at you.. Even the dogs
bite you and take attempts at your life..
After 3 days of torture and redicule living
as a dekunut, link can finally confront the imp again..
his pride is shot.. as link climbs to the top of the clock
tower.. only to find that he can't even harm the imp.. link
has his trusty ocarina to warp back in time though.. back
to the begining of the 3 days of hell.. 3 days was long
enough for Link to live as a dekunut though.. the mask dealer
promised to return link back to a human after finding something
he had owned before..
As a human.. the people of Clock Town are
very nice.. they say 'please' and 'excuse me' when you talk
to them.. The guards are overly nice as well.. Their care
are for your safety only for the fields of Termina are badly
infested with monsters.. Link easily prosueds the guard
to let him pass with one glance of his sword.. The guards
seem to be much more kinder now that Link is one of them..
and not a dekunut..
The Dekunuts would be the second most racist bunch.. The
dekunut surround their village in a poisionous swamp.. no
other race could get to their village without being severely
injured.. a dekunut has no problem getting into the village..
but the Deku village makes it difficult for dekunuts as
well.. seeing how the other races can't get close without
swimming.. the deku nut can hop across the lily pads.. The
Deku village then posts a gigantic deku eating octopus to
guard the entrance..
Humans are always good at finding ways to
kill rare species of animals.. so Link borrows a boat from
the local witch and easily glides across the poisonous swamp
and inpales this octopus.. Link now has easy access to the
entrance to the deku village.. but Link as a human asks
for entrance .. the dekunuts simply through him out of the
village.. luckily Link, the master of races, can put on
his deku mask and infiltrate the village..
Even inside the village as a human or a
deku nut.. Link is quickly thrown out when spotted by another
deku.. The King shows no mercy to other animals.. he keeps
a monkey tied up in his thrown room for his own amusement..
Link avoids and evades all the dekunuts of the village so
that he can speak with this monkey.. The monkey tells him
of the horrors the deku king had bestowed upon him.. how
is tortured ever night..
welp.. Link gets a song from him then goes
into the temple where he kills plenty of swamp festering
plantlife and animals.. and then kills the rarest of all
species in the swamp.. and for a trophey takes his head..
after doing this the swamp is no longer poisonous... killing
who knows how many more species of life that needed that
poison to live...
After the Human, Link, destroys this area
of Termina.. he goes up North to destroy the next set of
life..
The Gorons tend to stay away from the Humans.. they wish
nothing to do with them.. they participate in sporting events
that any other race could never be qualified to enter..
and have an entrance to their village only a goron could
enter..
A human cannot compare to the strength of
a goron.. nor the speed of a goron either.. but gorons come
in many shapes and sizes.. Goron's aren't the racist type..
they are friendly to everyone that comes by.. the gorons
would merely destroy the mechanical bull responsible for
the blizzard themselves.. but why do the extra work they
say.. lets have an inferior human take care of it for us..
Luckily Link steals the soul of a dead goron
so that he is able to have the strength needed to defeat
this bull.. and then after destroying this entertaining
bull.. Link keeps the head for himself.. Gorons do learn
a valuable lesson about humans.. but their tiny brains quickly
forget it..
Next is the 4th major race is Termina.. the Zora.. The Zora
are a devine race.. but this is how far i've gotten in the
game so far..
Each race is very segragated to specific regions of termina..
the humans in the center, the dekunuts in the south, the
goron in the north, and the Zora to the west.. these locations
Nintendo has chosen to put each race can be used loosely
apllied to how the different races of earth are placed..
The Humans represent the United States..
the arrogant people who think they are the best.. who mock
other races and hate them.. to the south we have mexico..
which is the representation of Latinos in Majora's mask..
oh well.. doesn't mean its not fun to pla
