[edit] Deku Butler's Son

How do we know that the Butler's son is actually dead? In Ocarina of Time, when the Great Deku Tree dies, his body turns gray - although the Butler's Son seems to still have his "healthy" colored of brown. Also, I really don't think the Deku Mask holds the spirit of the Butler's Son. When playing the Elegy of Emptiness while wearing the Zora or the Goron mask, the "dummy" left behind looks identical to the former bodies the souls once had - namely Darmani and Mikau. But when wearing the Deku Mask, the "dummy" left behind simply looks like a basic Deku shrub, and nothing like the Deku Butler's son. Also, when you obtain the Song of Healing, it says that it heals souls and curses. The curses is probably referring to the Deku Mask Curse.

At the end of the game, it doesn't even show the Deku Butler crying. He's just standing beside the tree, possibly even talking to him although the conversation isn't shown to the player. Just because Link can't speak to the Deku Butler's son, doesn't mean that he's dead.

We don't. However, well, the article mentions all the hints, so I'm not gonna explain all that. I will however, answer each of your questions/statements.:

• The GDT turned grey? Gotta replay OoT, because I don't remember that. (youtube = offline at the moment). But still, what does that have to do with the DB's son? First of all, they aren't of the same race. Secondly, they died in different ways. Tatl about the twisted tree:

(But enough about that for now... Come over to this tree and check it out! It's strange, but the way you look right now sort of looks like this tree... It looks all dark and gloomy... almost like it could start crying any second now... How sad...)

DB:

(Actually, when I see you, I am reminded of my son who left home long ago...)

Because the tree does not look like a Deku Scrub (or rather, Deku Scrubs don't look like trees), it can be assumed his body was deformed (maybe that was the reason he died). Also, how do you know what the DB's son looks like, if you don't think the dummy is him? Because that's the ONLY reference we have to his looks. Regardless, a tree would not be able to grow there, so if this was a natural one, how did it get there? Also, may I remind you that Link indeed was cursed, but that that doesn't mean the DB's Son doesn't inhabit the mask? Link didn't obtain the mask like he obtained the other two; he was forced to "fuse", with a soul that was not yet "healed". The other two were healed before he could fuse with them and that was voluntarily. On another note, the curse most likely (also) refers to the Gibdo Mask, which btw, indeed doesn't contain a soul. Lastly, that wasn't talking what the DB did. At least, I don't know how you move and act when talking, but those weren't talking movements. Far more like crying in agony. When youtube is back online, I'll give you a link.DreamingLady 08:23, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chat and Trail

"Early translations of their names were "Chat" and "Trail.""

I've never heard this before--is it true? Master Thief Garrett 09:48, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Sure is. These names were apparently rough translations used by importers before the North American version became available. I provided three sources for this. Deco 20:12, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Ah, thank you. I would have looked it up myself but it was getting rather late! Just goes to show that they do deliberately put "play on words" references in the games (like "Link's Awakening")... Master Thief Garrett 00:42, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

If I'm not mistaken, those are still their actual names, just not in the English version.

They are indeed the Japanese names: チャット (chatto) and トレイル (toreiru). Setokaiba^✌_≝ 17:43, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kafei

The article says he was transformed while going to Anju, but I remember from the game (I have(had) two editions, US collectors and GCN) that he was going to the Milk bar to show his friends the mask. Jaxad0127 06:41, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Since no one's going to argue, I'm going to change it. Jaxad0127 19:34, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Japas -- too minor a character

I've removed Japas's info on the grounds that he holds little importance to the game and storyline. Lulu and Mikau are much more notable members of the Indigo-go's, and just because Japas has a name doesn't qualify him for notability here. He is also already listed in the Zora article under the Indigo-go's subsection. --Tryforceful 01:45, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Majora's Mask / Skull Kid

I believe that the two could get their own pages. There is much information about both of them that is not here and could earn them their own pages. If Veran and Onox both have seperate articles, I do believe that the entity, Majora's Mask, should as well. I beleive that they might have had their own pages in the past, but I'm not sure.

It did. It was changed to a redirect to this page and then to the game's page. Jaxad0127 05:04, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Skull Kid's beak?

I never saw a beak on any of the Skull Kids - they seemed to have flat, featureless faces, except for the eyes and mouth. Pictures, maybe?
