The '''Fierce Deity''' is one of the transformations [[Link]] turns into in {{MM}}, achieved by wearing the [[Fierce Deity's Mask]]. This transforms him into a mysterious and powerful warrior resembling a [[Hylian]]. It is one of four [[Transformation#Majora's Mask|mask transformations]] in the game.
   
  +
==Transformation==
The '''Lucky Lobby Ball''' is an object used to relieve boredom in {{TFH}}.<ref>{{Cite|Have you ever suffered from feelings of boredom while waiting for friends to join your team? YOU HAVE?! Well, those days are now behind you!|The Lucky Lobby Ball (Book)|Tri Force Heroes (Demo)}}</ref>
 
  +
Link obtains the Fierce Deity Mask after he trades the twenty non-transforming masks to the four [[Moon Children]] [[Inside the Moon]]. The final child sitting by the [[tree]] will give Link the Fierce Deity Mask after noticing all his other masks are gone. Wearing this mask enables Link to transform into the Fierce Deity only during boss battles.
   
  +
In {{MM3D}}, Link can also transform into the Fierce Deity inside the two [[Fishing Hole]]s. If he attempts to leave when in Fierce Deity form, the [[Fishing Hole Man]] will keep the young hero from doing so, wondering how he got in there in the first place.<ref>{{Cite|Hey. Hey! What's with that scary face, fella? If ya leave here lookin' like that, you'll scare away potential customers and ruin our reputation! ...Wait. Hold up. Where did ya even come from...?|Swamp Fishing Hole Man|MM3D}}</ref>
==Location and Uses==
 
  +
The Lucky Lobby Ball is found in the [[Hytopia]] castle lobby of ''Tri Force Heroes'' by pressing the L or R-Buttons to dash into a wall.<ref>{{Cite|Simply press L/R to dash into a wall, causing the Lucky Lobby Ball to drop.|The Lucky Lobby Ball (Book)|Tri Force Heroes (Demo)}}</ref> This causes the ball to drop onto the ground. Link may then hit it with his sword, causing a mini-game of sorts to commence.<ref>{{Cite|Continuously hit this magical ball of luck and joy with your sword to play a legendary song for your amusement!|The Lucky Lobby Ball (Book)|Tri Force Heroes (Demo)}}</ref> A random song plays while Link attempts to keep the ball in the air. This requires timing and quick reflexes,<ref>{{Cite|Do you have the timing and skill to play through all of the songs? There's only one way to find out!|The Lucky Lobby Ball (Book)|Tri Force Heroes (Demo)}}</ref> and, if allowed to touch the ground, the ball bursts, the music stops, and the game ends. A number will appear as the ball bursts, showing Link's total number of hits. The longer Link keeps the ball in the air, the faster the music plays, which also causes the ball to fall more quickly. Depending on his score, a number of [[Rupee]]s will be awarded after the ball bursts. There are five songs that have a chance to play in the demo, and twenty-three in the full version.<ref>{{Cite|There are five potential songs in the demo version of the game and 23 in the full version.|The Lucky Lobby Ball (Book)|Tri Force Heroes (Demo)}}</ref>
 
  +
==Abilities==
  +
In the Fierce Deity form, Link gains greater strength and range in his attacks as well as certain new abilities. Because the Fierce Deity wields a large, [[Swords of Majora's Mask#Fierce Deity Sword|double-handed, helix-edged Sword]], he cannot use a [[Shield]], although this disadvantage is compensated for by the Sword's superior power. Link can also use the Sword to release [[Sword Beam]]s when [[Targeting System|targeting]] an enemy.

In the {{Manga|MM}}, Link receives the Fierce Deity's Mask from [[Majora's Mask (Object)|Majora]] and becomes Fierce Deity Link during his fight against it. In a flashback of Majora, it is revealed that while as a dragon, a mysterious man bearing a strong resemblance to the Fierce Deity in both appearance and clothing, had visited Majora. The man played music for the dragon, who danced for three days and three nights before dying. The man then carved the Majora's Mask from the creature's hide, hoping to seal its power. It is hinted in the story that the stranger is in fact a god, the first being that is able to overcome the beast of Majora, and that it does so with music that controls the flow of time.

In {{HW}}, Fierce Deity Link appears as part of [[Young Link]]'s Mask weapon type moveset. During [[Focus Spirit]], the youth can temporarily transform into the Fierce Deity to perform powerful attacks before reverting to his normal self, and includes all other bonuses characteristic to Focus Spirit. This form of Focus Spirit is unusual in that it lasts longer than any other Warrior's. While in Fierce Deity form, Young Link is able to shoot [[Sword Beam]]s with most of his swings, but generally shares all of his original form's moves. He can also use the {{It|Ocarina of Time}} to convert his [[Special Attack]] Gauge into more [[Magic Power|Magic]] to refill his [[Magic Meter]], thus extending his time in this form. Young Link's Focus Attack features him slicing the Moon in half, damaging enemies around him.

Fierce Deity Link also appears as an alternate costume for Link in the ''Majora's Mask'' DLC Pack.

==Trivia==
  +
*The Fierce Deity form is popularly referred to as "{{wp|Oni (folklore)|Oni}} Link" within {{LZS|Series}} community. This is based on an incomplete translation of his Japanese name that incorporates the kanji for "fierce" (''Ki''), which can be read alone as {{Japanese|鬼|Oni}}.<!--This is just an incomplete translation of "Fierce Deity", as the kanji used for "Fierce" is the Kanji for "Oni".-->
  +
  +
==Etymology==
  +
The term "fierce deity," {{Japanese|鬼神|Kishin||3}}, is used to refer to several deities in the Shingon Buddhist pantheon, such as Bishamonten or the Myō-ō, who are fierce and wrathful toward the negative forces that work against humanity's enlightenment, but are benevolent and supportive of humanity. They are seen as deities that work to defeat evil, a quality which the Fierce Deity's Mask gives Link greater ability to achieve.

Revision as of 11:12, 15 February 2016

Template:Character The Fierce Deity is one of the transformations Link turns into in Majora's Mask, achieved by wearing the Fierce Deity's Mask. This transforms him into a mysterious and powerful warrior resembling a Hylian. It is one of four mask transformations in the game.

Transformation

Link obtains the Fierce Deity Mask after he trades the twenty non-transforming masks to the four Moon Children Inside the Moon. The final child sitting by the tree will give Link the Fierce Deity Mask after noticing all his other masks are gone. Wearing this mask enables Link to transform into the Fierce Deity only during boss battles.

In Majora's Mask 3D, Link can also transform into the Fierce Deity inside the two Fishing Holes. If he attempts to leave when in Fierce Deity form, the Fishing Hole Man will keep the young hero from doing so, wondering how he got in there in the first place.[1]

Abilities

In the Fierce Deity form, Link gains greater strength and range in his attacks as well as certain new abilities. Because the Fierce Deity wields a large, double-handed, helix-edged Sword, he cannot use a Shield, although this disadvantage is compensated for by the Sword's superior power. Link can also use the Sword to release Sword Beams when targeting an enemy.
