Majora's Mask

[brian219]

In this Zelda game for the N64 the players repeats the same 3 days over and over trying to prevent the end of the world that will occur at the end of those 3 days, due to the moon crashing down. During those 3 days the moon gets larger and larger as it gets closer and closer, then you time travel back to day one to try again.

This is where it starts This is where it will end. Here comes the moon again.

Also, Majora's Mask is MM, which I found startling. Majora's Mask is an in game item that possesses this skull kid, much like the worm possesses the boy in the tryptich. Also:

I do a crooked little dance with my funny little monkey...I wear this fucking mask because you cannot handle me here is my real head.

Those are from Organ Grinder. Check out this image of the guy who had the mask in the beginning and wants you to retrieve it:



Yeah. He's playing an organ. And funny little monkey?



As I said the game is about the end of the world. So:

I know it's the last day on earth. We'll be together while the planet dies.

EDIT: Also, Majora's Mask has 10 horns like the beast in Revelation.

Do you disagree that Manson must have both inspired and subsequently referenced this game? I think it's fairly obvious.

Not every single fucking line from a Marilyn Manson song needs to be dissected and put with some sort of outside reference.

No need to be an angry cusser, man. I agree with you. Things like this are as clear as day though, unless you are being willfully ignorant of the obvious connections.

I see more and more of it, that's why.

I also highly doubt he'd be inspired by an old ass N64 game when writing a song.

It is a bit aged. It's from 1999. During the height of the triptych! Coincidence?

[Terrapin]

Well, I thought it was a very lovely story. And you tell it so well, with such enthusiasm.

[brian219]

Thanks, Jake. That's very kind.

I would like to see more discussion, though. Surely someone has spotted things I may have missed.

You also missed that this was a Japanese game, and MM.has lots of Japanese fans - such an obvious connection :o
