So the other day I noticed that Majora is Mara if you take out the jor,and then I realized there are many similarities between Mara and Majora's Mask, here's a few I noticed.
Mara is the demon that controls fear and paranoia. Throughout the entirety of Majora's Mask, the townspeople deny that there is anything to be afraid of, effectively letting Majora control their lives and ultimately making the villagers stay where they know they would be doomed to their death. Anyone living there who was smart enough to acknowledge the fact that fear is their greatest enemy instead of denying it would be wise enough to simply move away.
apparently in the game (I haven't actually played the entire game oops sorry) There are five bosses and five children inside the moon, in Buddhist Mythology, Mara uses his 5 daughters to promote certain habits that will increase fear and paranoia's control on peoples lives without them realizing it.
As I said, since I have not played the entirety of Majora's Mask and have fairly limited knowledge of the Buddhist beliefs on Mara, I just figured I'd bring this up to see if you guys can find any other similarities as well.
