The Real World Inspirations Behind the Design and Music of Woodfall Temple in Majora's Mask

Ойындар

Woodfall Temple, while somewhat simple in layout compared to other Zelda Dungeons, has an incredible amount of thought put into its design and music. It draws on many influences from Aztec and Mayan cultures and even the boss, Odolwa, and the woodfall temple music, does as well. Today, I'll break down the specifics on each of these influences and talk about how Koji Kondo might have been inspired to create the Woodfall Temple Music as well.

    @@SaveDataTeam This was some amazing research indeed! Just one thing I'd like to point out: The Teotihuacan site you showed several times while talking about the Aztecs/Mexicas and the Mayans actually belongs to neither. While it's rather close to Tenochtitlan (the Mexica capital city that is now most of the center-north of Mexico City) it belongs to a more ancient civilisation of which there is practically no record other than whatever little they've managed to gather from the site itself, in fact the word "Teotihuacan" vaguely translates into "This was already here" in the Mexica language Náhuatl. The Sun and Moon temples and many of the smaller buildings found in Teotihuacan *are* stepped pyramids or ziggurats like you said so that is accurate :D

    My take on Odolwa's armaments: The Mesoamerican civilizations didn't have access to metal in the same way Europe did, and that shaped much of their weaponry. However, Termina is more European in it's metal-richness (see the abundance of swords, metal armour, etc.) Thus, the Deku people of Termina, while they have the culture of Mesoamerica, have access to metal that the actual Mesoamericans didn't. So Odolwa's weapons make more sense in that context.

    My mother always mentioned that the vocal samples you hear in the track are very reminiscent of the sounds African people (specifically in the DRC as she was raised there) make at weddings. Incidentally, the biome that the dungeon is located in seems very similar to the type of landscape you'd find in the jungles of Congo, which is almost a mix of a swamp and a jungle.

    Odolwa was one of my favorite bosses. His difficulty and complexity is in a bit of a sweet spot: As he mentions, Odolwa has no glaring, obvious weak spot or even an obvious opening. This makes him uncommon for a zelda boss, and absolutely _unique_ for a first boss. Instead, you're just supposed to _fight_ him, mano a mano. As a result, Odolwa sits in a peculiar difficulty window: He's harder than most for first timers, but becomes pretty easy once you know what you're doing. And Majoras Mask is unique among zelda games in that you're totally free to fight him as often as you want, so you can easily compare. Especially since you can come back and smack him with your fierce deity mask. And on top of that, he's got a pretty vibrant character: I rather like his design, but it's the combination of his appearance, dancing motions and chanting that really makes him unique. I can still hear his death wail like it was yesterday.

    Hi! I'm from Veracruz, México too. Here in my city there's an anthropology museum (Museo de Antropología de Xalapa, I think you can watch the exhibition online), and here are several Olmec heads! I don't think that room with the poisonous water is a reference to Tenochtitlan, but maybe the area where the temple is could be. Besides of that, here in México and other countries of South America there are swamps called "ciénegas". Great video!!!

    Breaking it down like this, the temples of Termina, especially Woodfall, Snowhead, and Stone Tower, make me think there's a lot more to that world than what we see in the game. Woodfall references pre-Spanish Meso-American cultures and the boss is a tribal warrior, Snowhead's architecture is completely disconnected from that of the Gorons' but includes methods of traversal that they would have the easiest time using, and Stone Tower was built to mock the goddesses of Hyrule. While we experience all we really need to know just playing, the fact that humans and Deku apparently lived together in Aztec and Mayan style tribes once upon a time, the Gorons probably helped whoever built Snowhead, and the Kingdom of Ikana may have been much grander before its fall than the game lets on suggests that Termina is not some pre-death limbo state for Link to experience the stages of grief, but rather a fully real world with its own history and physical location factually parallel to Hyrule. And Great Bay Temple? I dunno.

    My thoughts on the human influences in Woodfall Temple and Odalwa's human-but-slightly-off design is that, similar to how the Kokiri gradually morphed from humanoid faerie-children into small wood sprites, the Deku (at least in Termina) may have been more humanoid at one point in their history. Like, maybe it's just the limitations of the odler hardware, but Odalwa's skin always seemed sort of wood-like to me, idk

    Odolwa is my favorite boss in Zelda, while I enjoy many other bosses, he stands out the most. He isn't some beast in monster or animal form, but a tribal warrior decked out in body paint with a sword, chanting and dancing. One thing I noted from Odolwa's dancing, and this could just be coincidence, is that of the Ghost Dance. A dance performed by the northern tribes to oppose American expansionism. Odolwa could just be gathering spiritual strength to combat Link when he dances.

    Great video! This temple and boss are some of my faves and the song is a definite bop lol. Overall it definitely feels strongly inspired by Aztec, Olmec, and Mayan peoples. I'd add the Taíno peoples of the Caribbean as well based on certain decorations (the curved symbols with dots being one of them.) We have maracas and a drum like the teponaztli called the mayohuacán, as well as ceremonial paint and some dancing similar to Odolwa's steps.
