Theories about the orbit of the moon.

Whether or not the moon was an illusion in majoras mask to hide the real moon , come up with a theory why clocktown was built on the exact orbit of the moon.

My theory is that they are trying to predict stuff using astrology , astronomy , and the cycles of the moon , sun and the earth.

This is about termina's moon , not hyrule's

I'm pretty sure Clocktown was built in the center of Termina... that's probably the reason for it's placement, and it probably has nothing to do with astronomy whatsoever.

I know there's something about Klock Town or the "place where man lived" or something in one of the stories Anju's grandmother tells you. Not sure what exactly though. something about the giants leaving the center or the world to go to their places... a hundred steps north and south and whatnot.

Wow... wait a few minutes... i have stumbled onto something amazing..

So you're saying the people built Clock Town where they did knowing the moon would crash there?

Also, this entire theory is false and utterly useless, as the reason the moon impacted Clock Town was because of Majora's influence.

Ummm...... People.... What exactly cause the moon to go into a collision course in the first place? The magic of Majora's Mask! Magic! There is your answer. The moon is being held in that odd orbit by magic. It is orbiting, by magic, in a synchronous orbit. That means that it is orbiting as fast as the planet is rotating. Since it was pulled there by magic, Clock Town location has no bearing . It could be anywhere, the moon still would have come down. All through magic. The thread is over.

Helooooo... haven't you ever heard of astronomers???

If Majoras mask had created a fake moon , he would have made the moon
go on it's original course , but would have made it crash into termina...

And another thing... i found out it's orbit.
The moon goes from south to north, just as the sun from east to west.
I have noticed little movements in the moon's placement and i have pictures too.

But it's weird why the town was placed at the lunar equator.

I'm looking into it.
Perhaps i'll find an answer for the strange markings.





132.1 pi miles is the circumference of termina.
212.5943424 pi kilometers.

I'm still figuring out what those markings are.

Majora didn't create a fake moon, kiddo.

I believe Majora simply pulled the moon there.

This.

C'mon Magus.......what is this? Stupid theory #12,000 now? Stop your idiocy.

No technical theory is idiotic, just that some are horrible or bad. ;D

i thinks its the normal moon transformed and pulled onto a collision course for termina by majora.

He always brings it up based on something I said in his previous threads. I've always thought that the falling moon wasn't Termina's actual moon, with the most notable reason being that it burned up and became a rainbow in the ending. I don't feel like starting that debate again, so I recommend just searching for Magus' old threads to read my take on it.

Anyway, Clock Town wasn't built on the orbit of the moon.

The real moon is much bigger than the one portrayed in MM.

yeah, gudder snype is right. if the real moon was that close, it wouldnt end and would extent to the horizons. but i think that it is the real moon still in the game.

It also doesn't have a face on it.

But I don't know, it could be the real moon or it could be a creation of Majora's Mask.

After all, if it's not the real moon, then where is the real moon in MM?

Saying the theory is stupid is okay, but at least put some more consistance in your replies, folks. This kind of reply is what can be classified as uncontributional spam

People seem to be assuming that Majora's Mask takes place on Earth. Perhaps it takes place on a completely different world that has a moon exactly like that one. Or maybe it is all just a dream that Link is having so it would be entirely pointless to try to find logic in the moon. It is a fantasy. People shouldn't look that deeply into it. It isn't supposed to make scientific sense. That is the whole point.

EDIT:
To quote another:

I thought we already established this.

There you have it.

I believe it says in the trophy entry for SSBM that the moon was drawn toward the mask, so it only fell there because SK choose to wait there.

And for the record it was probably developer intent that it was the real moon because, well...
If it's good enough for Final Fantasy IV it's good enough for Zelda!

Nothing in the SSB games are canon. Just like SC2 and the CDi games.
