Before I begin, I must point out that the term "Interlopers" was completely made up by NoA. In the Japanese version, the Twili's ancestors are simply said to have risen up among the people of Hyrule.

I disagree here. The Fused Shadows are literally pieces of an ancient artifact. The boss masks, however, are clearly just creations of Majora's Mask. The only reason there are four boss masks is because Majora's Mask sealed the Four Giants.

Which raises the question: Are both tribes the same? or are they parallels of each other?

The ancient tribe that made Majora's Mask apparently chose to seal the mask instead of having others intervene. We don't really have any proof that the ancient tribe was sealed. They could have simply died off over time, or Majora's Mask could have become sentient while they were sealing it and killed most of them. They also seem to have vanished before the Four Giants decided to become guardians, so I don't see how they would be sealed.

While the eyes are similar (though not exact, and the Fused Shadow only has one), everything else between the two is different, including the markings. In all honesty, the only visual connection at all is the one eye. At best, it hints to a Hyrule/Termina parallel connection with Majora's Mask.
Furthermore, Majora's Mask appears to be made out of wood. In the Japanese version of Twilight Princess, Lanayru states that the Fused Shadows are "crystalized stones of shadow magic".

I disagree. The fighting styles are
not the same. Zant often floats in the air, constantly firing blasts at Link. Zant changes the arena, trying to knock Link in lava, drown him, and Zant even becomes gigantic and tries to squish Link. Finally, he pulls out blades and fights in a close, aggressive manner.
Majora's Incarnation, on the other hand, literally runs around in circles for no reason. It does actual dances at times, and it rarely attacks. While it does shoot blasts from its hands, they aren't really similar to Zant's. As for Majora's Wrath, that tends to run away from Link.
While I agree that the Fused Shadows and Majora's Mask are parallels, I don't agree with some of the points you brought up. Overall, this is a very good assessment.
