“Majora’s Mask
Symbolism! Moon and Skull Kid"
After watching the video on the dark
side of Nintendo games I found another video by the same guy where he focuses
on the symbolism in games and how the game itself can be used to communicate
these ideas as the audience plays the game.
The moon in Majora’s Mask represents
the looming death and demise of the world. It symbolizes the constant fear
faced when dealing with the chance of death.
Having said this, the game suggests
that what people fear isn’t in fact death, it’s the fear
of loss, love, affection, possession and the end of experience, family and
relationships. Death just conveys the end of these.
Finally, the best thing I got from this
video was this beauty of a quote which ties in amazingly with my essay
topic…SCORE :D
“[This] humble little
Nintendo game is deconstructing the relationship between death and love”.
