But this is just theories, questionings and 'potential' links, not facts. Also, the spirals weren't there in the original game, they were specifically added to this version that was in development alongside BOTW. Which, with the Stone Tower that doesn't truly belong to Ikana (so what says this room does belong to Ikana culture? Especially when it doesn't look like the rest of Ikana, and is justly a 'secret' place), has already been hinted to be linked to Majora's Mask in the past, even tho as I said in another comment, some of them have been erased, some still here, and even tho they added things that could look like Zonai architecture, there is no strong symbolism in those to really know. Interestingly, Twilis/Interlopers have already been theorised to be Majora's tribes, as well as the Zonais for lot of these things, and wether coincidential or not, we can find that iconography and those links in this room.Īgain, note that these are just hypothesis, speculations and potential links, but there is no way to fully know in the end nor established facts. A Ganondorf concept art from Twilight Princess also interestingly show him having an armor with Majora's eyes, and his current design in the game seemingly have dragons on his neck collar, and according to Missisme, what could look like owls on the forearm. But there is more the depictions on it and their architectures are similar to Zonai, lot of spirals (which we can also remark, non angular ones but rounded, similar to here and the zonai ones, are discreetly carved on the inside side of the Fused Shadow's horns), and seemingly dragons and serpents, but also what look like the 'targets' in those rooms, all those very prominent notably on Zant's clothes (spiral on arm, dragon shoes), Midna's ones ('target' on her back, serpent/dragons), their throne room and palace in genral (lot of spiraling, serpents, and target). The Fused Shadow has already been noted for having similar designs to Majora's mask with it's eye. They were magic dweller tribe that disappeared long ago because banished from Hyrule. (note: maybe I'm mistaken and that Majora's creators are not mentionned as such, best source to know: japanese version)īut interestingly, you can also match with another tribe: the Interlopers, and their descendents, the Twilis. That makes lot of similarities, whether coincidential, or not. You can also note: bothes Majora tribe and the Zonais are both ancient magic tribe dwellers that mysteriously disappeared. This room is supposedly 'secret', so it could be from non Ikana persons and from the persons that made the Stone tower eventually, who knows? But there has to note changes have been made here: no more Triforce, no more Majora on pillar, and in the boss rooms, there are new architectures: Some tribal like towers and arches, and boulders and that architecturally could look Zonai-like, but no sign clear of evidence. There is to note, it can very be not directly from Ikana's culture: Stone Tower is not the same as Ikana Kingdom as said by Igo who tried to conquer it but failed, and intestingly, it already has been theorised it justly seemed linked to Majora's mask: the stone statue at the entrance and pillars on the boss room fight that were depicting Majora, and the interesting note of the statues licking the Triforce. Also, to note, this is the 3DS version, the original one is far from as colorful and can be overlooked more easily, just plain rocks and does not not have all the paintings, they had the dragons and Majora shaped charms/mask, but not the spirals and targets that has been specifically added in this version that was developped alongside with BOTW, so this overwhaul in symbols MAY not be coincidential.
