:::The Twilight Realm isn't where the Twili originated from. They were banished to that realm by the Gods.

It can merely be noted that the eyes of Majora's Mask and the eye of the Fused Shadow are simillar.

Really why do so many people think it's so similar to Majora's Mask, the only thing in common is one single eyeball? I'd delete it altogether but it'd just keep popping up like it does on forums.[[User:Axiomist|Axiomist]] 02:49, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

:Nintendo likes to reuse elements in their games to create a sense of familiarity.

Tetra briefly mentions to Link that the fortress previously belonged to another clan of pirates.<ref>{{cite|There are all sorts of strange rumors about this place.

I think majora's mask was created by the dark interlopers. It fits the fused shadows and majora's mask have similar powers, not to mention that the are both able to corrupt people. --[[user:olallaboy]]

.
The dungeon is located in the far northwest quadrant of the [[Great Sea]], and it is where [[Ganon]]dorf has constructed his temporary lair by using a portal from Hyrule under the sea.<ref>{{cite|I see...

Actually, I have a theory: The Dark Interlopers/Twili have a Terminian counterpart like everyone else, and that Majora's Mask is the Terminian counterpart of the Fused Shadows.
Whilst inhabited by Ganondorf and his minions, the fortress is held in perpetual night. If it is approached during the day, the sun will rapidly fall below the horizon.

==Themes and Navigation==
 
[[File:Forsaken Fortress TWW.jpg|thumb|left|The inside of the fortress]]
 
===First Visit===
 
During his first visit, Link is catapulted to the fortress by [[Tetra]] and [[Tetra's Pirate Crew|her crew]]. Upon landing, he loses his sword and is left with only his shield to defend himself.<ref>{{cite|Your sword landed all the way up there? Shoot! I'm sorry! I apologize! I guess my aim was off by a little bit.|Tetra|Wind Waker}}</ref> In order to reach the room where Aryll is being held, he must travel to each tower and use [[Boko Stick]]s to defeat the [[Bokoblin]]s operating the searchlights.<ref>{{cite|Those searchlights are a real pain, huh? You're going to have to deal with them somehow, I'm afraid... If you can slay the monster, then just maybe it'll shut the searchlight down.|Tetra|Wind Waker}}</ref> He must also practice stealth while navigating the fortress, as there are [[Moblin]]s that patrol the fortress who will throw Link in the fortress jail if spotted. Thankfully, the dim-witted nature of the Moblins allows Link to navigate around without being seen by hiding under [[Barrel]]s. Once he is outside the room where Aryll is being held, he gets his sword back and fights a shielded Bokoblin. Before Link is able to save his sister and the other girls, the Helmaroc King swoops in, grabs Link with his beak, and brings him before Ganondorf. Ganondorf then tells the bird to discard him, ergo his rescue attempt failed and Link ends up unconscious in the [[Great Sea]].
 
   
  +
not everybody has a terminian counterpart, Link, Ganondorf, the koriki, all the sages (except ruto), king zora, medigron, biggoron, all don't have counterparts. besides, the twilight realm is completely seperate from hyrule, as is termina so I doubt any of the twili have a terminian counterpart.[[User:onikage_666|onikage_666]] 12:30, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
===Second Visit===
 
  +
:Eh, while you are right not everyone has a counterpart, Biggoron, Darunia and King Zora do have one. [[User:IfIHaveTo|IfIHaveTo]] 16:40, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
[[File:Miniblinattack.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Link beset by [[Miniblin]]s in the fortress]]
 
After Link finds the [[Master Sword]], he pays a second visit to the Fortress, where he confronts [[Phantom Ganon]] to gain the [[Hammer#Skull Hammer|Skull Hammer]], then the Bokoblins who once more use the searchlights, and finally the dreaded [[Helmaroc King]] to rescue his sister and the girls from [[Windfall Island]], with the help of Tetra and the pirates.<ref>{{cite|Hmm... Well, never mind about that. For now, we'll just take these girls. I'm sure their fathers back in town will pay a handsome reward for their return. If you're worried about your sister...don't be. I promise I'll deliver her safely back to your little island.|Tetra|Wind Waker}}</ref> Although he succeeds in the rescue mission this time, he now fails to defeat Ganondorf because the blade of the evil's bane lost its power,<ref>{{cite|You cannot defeat me with a blade that does not sparkle with the power to repel evil! What you hold is useless. Go back to the world below, and tell that to the pathetic fools who made this blade! Its power is gone, and its edges are dull!|Ganondorf|Wind Waker}}</ref> and when Link removed it from its pedestal in [[Hyrule Castle]], he lifted the seal that prevented Ganondorf from taking control of Hyrule again;<ref>{{cite|Foolish child. While that sword is indeed the blade of evil's bane, at the same time, it has long played another role... You see, it is also a sort of key... a most wretched little key that has kept the seal on me and my magic intact! By withdrawing the blade, you have broken that seal...|Ganondorf|Wind Waker}}</ref> because of this, the Fortress is eventually abandoned and the enemies (Ganondorf included) now move to Hyrule.<ref>{{cite|Ganon has not shown himself above the seas since Valoo unleashed his fiery wrath upon him. And what's worse, there is not a creature stirring in his base of operations in this world...the Forsaken Fortress.|King of Red Lions|Wind Waker}}</ref> After Link clears the [[Wind Temple]], it's revealed that the Fortress is indeed uninhabited.
 
   
  +
oh yeah, king zora and biggoron both have counterpart but Darunia dosen't altough Darmani resembles him somewhat.[[User:onikage_666|onikage_666]] 13:00, 1 August 2009 (UCT)
As Link has his sword during the second visit, he is able to defend himself and does not need to use stealth as in the first visit. Moblins will now simply attack him, instead of bringing him to the jail. Also, searchlights that are trained on Link will cause [[Bomb]]s to be fired at him and will also attract [[Miniblin]]s.
 
   
  +
== Imposing theories ==
===Third Visit (optional)===
 
As Link explores the game's final dungeon, he can find a way to open the warp spot that Ganon and his followers used previously in the Fortress to use it as a shortcut to return to the [[Great Sea]]. Should Link return to the fortress after the second visit, he will find that it is no longer in endless night.

I've been keeping this to myself for a long time, but I think that TP is not really relevant to the rest of the series. Any mysterious creatures are immediately associated with the Twili, though a few obvious clues show that TP completely contradicts the rest of the series. For example, the following do not appear in any other game: Twili, Oocco, Dominion Rod, City In The Sky, Fused Shadow, Ordona, Faron, Lanayru, Eldin. If these entities have had so much influence on the world, why haven't they recieved any credit outside of tp? I don't know, perhaps it's bad storytelling (Deux ex Machina?) rather than contradiction, but I think that Twilight princess exists on a league of its own. --[[User:Eponasowner|Stalkid]] 23:37, 11 August 2010 (EDT)
Contrary to popular belief, if Link misses the [[Heart Container]] gained after defeating [[Helmaroc King]], he still can find it anytime in front of the main wooden gate, near the chest that guarded the Skull Hammer.
 
   
==Theory==

== Majora Beast? ==
{{Theory|start}}
 
It is interesting to note that along with the other relative locations between some of the islands in ''The Wind Waker'' with some of the locations in ''Ocarina of Time'', that the Forsaken Fortress is located in the northwest, just as Gerudo Desert was in ''Ocarina of Time'' - both the "home bases" of Ganondorf. The fact that the fortress was inhabited by pirates before Ganondorf's arrival, and in knowing the Gerudo race were pirates themselves, Ganondorf himself leading a gang of thieves before the events of ''Ocarina of Time'', it only emphasizes the possibility that the Forsaken Fortress was the tallest portion of the Gerudo Fortress that survived the [[Golden Goddesses|Goddesses']] flood.

:"Majora Beast" is presumably referring to the entity inside Majora's Mask, which takes on a beastly form when it is fought in ''Majora's Mask''. In particular, it is probably referring to this creature's final form, Majora's Wrath. [[User:Setras|Setras]] ([[User talk:Setras|talk]]) 14:09, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
==Trivia==
 
[[File:Sheikah Eye TWW.png|right|40px]]
 
*A modified version of the [[Sheikah]] [[Eye Symbol]] makes a small appearance near the top of the Forsaken Fortress.
 
*This is also one of the only two dungeons without a [[Warp Jar]]. The other is [[Tower of the Gods]].
 
*This dungeon is unique in that, like [[Skull Woods]] in {{ALttP}}, it has multiple entrances and exits, given the fact that only the interior is considered to be the dungeon itself (as seen in the [[Map#Dungeon Map|Dungeon Map]]), and the exterior territory belongs to the [[Great Sea]] overworld. For the same reason, this fortress is the only dungeon in the game whose boss is fought and defeated outside.
 
*The tune that plays as Link is thrown in jail also plays in {{FSA}} in the [[Infiltration of Hyrule Castle]] when the [[Links]] are thrown in jail after being spotted by the [[searchlight]]s.
 
*Despite seagulls appearing near Aryll's cell room, Link is not able to control them using a [[Hyoi Pear]].

For example, the following do not appear in any other game: Twili, Oocco, Dominion Rod, City In The Sky, Fused Shadow, Ordona, Faron, Lanayru, Eldin.
