I'm calling this one Legend of Dead Link: DABDA Majhora's Mask

WARNING MAY CHANGE YOUR P.O.V. ABOUT MAJHORA'S MASK!!!

Also apologizing ahead of time for any spelling errors. I'm not great with words I don't know so writing a lot of the names for these guys killed me.  


We all know that feeling of unwrapping a gift you've been longing for. That video game you wanted since last fall and seeing it, holding it in your hands for the first time. Well, I remember opening games up to find Legend of Zelda games where my heart-beat would rise and a smile would appear on my face. Then I'd play the games, and maybe even beat it! I remember falling in love with Majhora's Mask as a child. It was one of my most favored games! I could never beat it, so I made my dad do it for me when I was younger. I'd watch him play in the clock tower scene where you're crawling through all those tunnels. I even watched him defeated skull kid. I felt so victorious! Even though it was my dad playing, and he was the one who beat the game... not me. Anyway! Back to the schedule here.... enough about my childhood. Let's crack open that old case for Majhora's Mask... let's get started shall we?



  Our story begins like some, not all, but some of the other Legend of Zelda Stories. It begins with a clip of Link and Epona. Link is riding Epona through dark, misty, and dreary woods. Suddenly Link hears a noise in the forest. Epona is frightened by the fairies that appear before her, thus kicking Link off of her back. Skull kid appears and kicks Link lightly for us to see poor Link is unconscious. He takes Link's Ocarina and begins looking at it intently and playing with it. He becomes scared, when he realizes Link is awake. So he hides the Ocarina behind his back and jumps onto Epona. Link grabs on scared to death only wanting Epona and the Ocarina back which are rightfully his. Link lets go and falls onto the ground watching as Epona and Skull kid ride into a hole in a tree. Link follows skull kid and begins running through obstacles until he falls. He falls down for a long time. For now I'm going to take a quick pause on this part. Do you know what DABDA means? That's okay you might've forgotten or maybe you haven't heard about it yet. I learned about it when I had to take a health class in ninth grade. I think that's when I first heard of it. Anyway, DABDA means Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance. Now keep these in mind as I continue on. The Kubler-Ross Model of Grief a.k.a. DABDA when someone is confronted with death these are the stages you go through. While going through the game the way people deal with things and in what order relates to DABDA.

DENIAL

  The first place you go to is Clock Town where you see the Clocktower and the Moon. Impending doom anyone? Don't you find it weird how even though the moon (which scared me as a child in the game) is going to kill them and they only have three days no one seems to care? Actually they don't care so much that they're planning a Carnival! In the mayor's office you see the carpenter calling anyone who is scared a coward. Saying the falling moon is a groundless(haha-haha groundless, it'll hit the ground soon enough!) theory! Also there is the sword master who says he'll just chop the moon up to pieces (Where's the logic there? Please... do tell.)


ANGER

  The Deku Palce in Woodfall is the next place you find yourself. Where the Deku King's daughter is missing. He responds with anger... towards an innocent monkey who he claims to be the culprit. The king wants to kill the monkey. But once again the monkey is innocent the Deku King is just angry and is lashing out and anything or anyone.


BARGAINING

 Snowhead features a Goron who has just lost his leader. When you meet the leader's ghost, he begs Link to bring him back to life. He's bargaining. The leader is actively begging to prolong his life for just a little bit longer. Thinking Link can offer a solution. When it fails... we find stage four... Depression. This is when a person realizes there's no escape and there's nothing they can do. They then begin disconnecting from the world.
