[@arttukettunen5757]

Wait, if the majora's moon is that small with that mass, it wouldn't create those changing tides or orbits unless Termina is also small... Edit: it would also require that the gravitational constant in Termina would be far greater than on earth, assuming that termina is much smaller in mass than earth. Objects on termina wouldn't still affect each other with a noticeable amount of force. The moon coming closer just will make people able to jump a bit higher under it. But yeah it's the Zelda multiverse ofc the constant can be higher.

It is, supposed it’s having a higher density and volume than matpat calculated. Besides the volume, the speed of the moon while orbiting and its distance come into play too. There’s a stupid high amount of stuff to calculate to determine if it could exert that pull. Incl the facts of the planet. The planet needs a certain volume and density too to not be affected by the gravitational pull of the moon etc etc. But termina seems to be super tiny either, not to mention that it’s apparently either imagination or alt reality

It's a shame you didn't apply the same mathematical scrutiny you used to calculate the Tiny Terminian Moon's mass to calculate its gravitational pull, which in all likelihood would be pretty negligible. :P Truth be told, given that the moon dissolves into a rainbow at the end of the game, I'm going to assume it isn't Termina's actual moon at all, but rather a giant magical bomb shaped like a moon. Since, you know, getting rid of the moon would also be pretty catastrophic.

[@AngryNerdBird]

I feel like there's not much point in arguing physics since magic was clearly involved in the whole mess. It wasn't falling as a result in natural physics, so... Also, if you fail to stop it in time, the whole region is visibly nuked, and Link ends up thrown back in time to try again. So it's evidently a pretty clear and present danger.

[@gigabic7487]

Yeah, none of the theories presented regarding the destruction make any sense when we have an actual scene in which said destruction occurs. I think that magic made the moon all explosive and apocalyptic. That, or someone put a few nukes in there.

[@calvaughan27]

Gigabic Look, if that moon crashed into that planet, that destruction, does not take place.

[@uggfty]

basically what the vid is saying is that the explosion, based on real life physics, should have never even been possible. the moon would have crushed the tower, tumbled onto the town, and stopped rolling at the nearest cliff. there was also some climate related stuff but that all depends on the actual influence that tiny moon had on the planet.(which couldnt have been much)

[@markusmustermann3048]

[@GabeNewellDFTBA]

Those rapture-like symptoms of the moon getting closer only applies to our moon. Majora's moon is much much smaller, so the effect would be far different.

[@zyad48]

thats true since the moon is much bigger and if it crashed then it'd be so huge it'd make us scared out of our wits, but here... that moon is a little shit

[@ib24556]

you're forgetting a key element, the moon in majora's mask must have been much closer to the planet then our moon, the moon doesn't simply falls onto the planet due to gravitation, for termina's moon to fall onto to the planet that slowly and to still have made such a good progress in such a short time he should have been vary close already, hack, it would take it over a year to cross the the first level of the atmosphere. and as you know the more an object gets closer to you, its gravitational force is stronger. while it is tiny, any increase in the gravitational force that moon may have would be extreme and would have devastating effects, think about it, because our moon is so far away, that small a change in its distance wouldn't be that critical, in fact, our moon is actually gets a few meters further away from the earth each year, but it will take about a million years or so before there will be any effects on the earth climate from it.

[@zyad48]

Itay Bryt true but it wouldn't destroy the planet

[@ib24556]

Minecast Zyad48 the gravitational consequences, even if our moon were to get closer, would not be the destruction of earth either, it would make the earth inhospitable for life to exist on it, in other words the planet would still be there, but all life on it will come to an abrupt end, think about, why doesn't planet Venus has any life on it, because it is not hospitable for life due to its climate and the make up of its atmosphere, and that is due to it being closer to the sun than planet earth is, the same in reverse is true for Mars, because it is to far away from the sun, its climate is too cold and thus it isn't hospitable for life, the earth is in a perfect balance here, it is not too close and to far away from the sun, thus making it hospitable for life, and any change in that balance would make the earth inhospitable for life to exist on it.

[@zyad48]

Itay Bryt right, although if we were able to travel to mars and put up a facility that would keep the temperature at liveable levels then we could survive potentially since mars has water on it I assume it has an atmosphere that could house human life but only a small amount of it

I have to point out how incredibly small majora's moon is. (smaller than the Great Pyramid of Giza) Therefore it would have a very weak gravitational pull (if we're assuming that it's as dense as Earth's moon like it was in his calculations). So, it would not be as much of an apocalyptic event as he claims. It's basically just a meteor (space rocks smaller than 100 meters are considered meteoroids and then meteor if they're in the Earth's atmosphere). It would only cause localized damage (if it weren't falling so slowly). At most it would just crush the tower and sit in the center of the town at the rate it is falling. By the way, majora's moon is basically defying gravity by falling that slowly and not at all accelerating. Also, the planet is not rotating beneath the "moon". It doesn't take a highly educated astronomer to point these out. Also, is this the only moon that orbits this planet? Because you'd need a good size moon like our own to keep the planet's rotation stable making the planet livable. And there's no way that majora's moon would be able to do that. I could keep on ranting about this if I wanted. I'm always quick to identify the little details that are inaccurate.

[@jamiescherm1314]

TL;DR

[@toxickandy9669]

Means termina's moon is too small to effect the planets ecosystem. Also, isn't the moon basically hollow? Making it's mass much much lower.

I honestly always thought that Majora’s Mask was similar to Alice in Wonderland in that Link falls down and wakes up in a dream-like place similar to the Hyrule that we’ve all come to know but it’s also not like Hyrule at all. (I’ll explain) (And yes, I’m aware that Alice in Wonderland is super different from the game, I’m just comparing the instances of “falling down” and waking up somewhere new) I played the game when I was younger and I still sort of feel that way about it. Throughout the game, after he “falls down”, Link sees people and things that he met/saw during the Ocarina of Time, but everything is different: the settings are different, the story is different and even the characters we see that were also in Ocarina of Time play completely different roles; To me, while I was playing the game, it was almost like Link was walking through this weird fever dream that happened in a place called Termina; a lot of the things and characters there were almost the same as they were in his previous quest but not really at the same time. Like, I was having serious deja vu when I played through both games when I was little. *I probably don’t even make any sense-*

Adi Wadi yeah but no matter how small it is the moon wouldn't impact it's waters or axis because it's just not big enough to even have it's own pull on ordinary objects much less a planetoid

[@richardxu7251]

The later part is not scientific at all. By seeing how slowly the moon falls, Zelda Planet must have either a super dense atmosphere or a super weak gravity pull. And since the moon is so small who cares if it crashes?

[@TheJaggedCarpet]

In some of the comments here, it was suggested that the moon is simply a magical bomb that's set to go off at approximately the time when it would hit the ground. I seem to remember an interview with one of the producers, where he says that Termina's moon isn't of that world. I can't remember for sure, though.

[@kylec.9092]

Richard Xu What if the moon was sentient and was trying not to crash using its own gravity and will, but did anyway because the pull was too strong? The sudden snapback would explain why the town was obliterated with it then going from its initial speed to more than a hundred times that. But that's just a theory... a stupid theory!

[@dylanmcloughlin2187]

Wait, isn't the moon empty inside? Like doesn't it have that weird tree place inside? Wouldn't that make it like a giant rock balloon? Also, can't the magic increase the downward force? We see that happen just before Link enters the moon. Also, doesn't this mean that its low gravity wouldn't affect the world much? Also, gravity is magic in that world (as a separate universe it is very likely that the laws of Physics would be nothing like ours). This is proven when the gravity flips in the Stone Tower, but we are told by the Garo Master that all this is doing is flipping the placement of the moon and earth. This means that the center of gravity in this universe is intrinsic to certain points (and since none of the physics change we can assume that distance doesn't affect gravity) and that the celestial bodies are immune to gravity, as Termina doesn't immediately fall into the moon after they switch, despite its massive mass. (You may think that the moon falling to Termina disproves this, but remember, Majora had to push the moon toward Termina, it wasn't falling, it was being forced to move by magic.) And that small of a moon wouldn't have had such a disastrous effect on the weather. And this solar system may just be Geocentric as the stars make light without nuclear fusion (star fragments). In other words, the physics are different, so you can't compare things using our scientific laws.

If the Termina Moon is so small, would it even have a significant enough gravitational pull to cause all those problems you mentioned?

It wouldn't, even if it were at the surface of the earth it would have 100 billion times weaker pull than our moon. This video doesn't make much sense.

[@ForTehWinners]

littleindia Well, first you have to consider the fact that it has the effect of tidal forces on the planet on which Termina presides, already, despite it having such an insignificant amount of mass. If it is already having these effects, than why shouldn't it increase or decrease at the same rate depending on how far or how close it is to the planet?

I think that the changing climate would not have of an impact on termina, if any at all, because you have got to take into account that the moon wouldn't have nearly the same gravitational pull of our moon, if any at all, and thus wouldn't change the climate in such a dramatic way.

[@KurtisC93]

The thing that these folks have apparently overlooked is the fact that a "moon" of its mass would not have enough gravitational force to cause the sort of apocalyptic conditions that they've described. To put this in perspective, I've calculated the force of the Terminian moon based on the numbers provided in this video: 2.97 x 10⁻⁵ N For those of you who don't know scientific notation, that's a _fucking small number_. There's a reason why only massive objects have enough of a gravitational pull to make any real difference - gravity is by far the weakest fundamental force in the entire universe. It is directly proportionate to the inertial mass of an object. That creepy-@ss thing in the Terminian skyline does not have enough girth to annihilate virtually anything.

[@dekulink448]

Yeah he makes so many inconsistencies it's almost like he hasn't played the game.

[@KurtisC93]

Deku Link Does games Hmm, I'm not sure if I agree with you on your latter point. I do think he's _played_ the game; I just think he sometimes forgets to take a few important variables into account.

[@somewhathandsome5288]

Also when you think about it, If the scale of the world in Majora's Mask was the same in proportion to our world, there wouldn't be any tidal waves, since the moon's gravitational force is not strong enough to cause any influence on the body of water.

[@deusignis6377]

Deku Link Does games That inconsistency isn't to do with the game, its just something that he hasn't seen with the information that he has already clearly obtained. Its to do with the fact that a smaller object has a smaller gravitational force, so its nothing to do with whether he's played the game or not, he just looked over a part of physics

[@RetrogirlChannel]

I never saw the moon "falling". For me it was more like it was being pulled by magic and wouldn't stop at the clock tower. The moon would keep going as you can also see in the final cutscenes before the battle. The skull kid let out a scream which turned the moon's eyes red and all the sudden the 4 giants having difficulty holding the moon back. So? Also your last point , wasn't that about IF the moon has the same size as our? If its much smaller, its gravitation would mostly likely do barely to none damage before "hitting" the earth. Its like saying a giant space ship as the size of the majoras mask moon would kill us all by just being near our planet. you see for at least 3 days in the game that the moon facing clock town. So people on the other side of the world aren't even seeing the moon at all, since its not rotating like a normal moon would. And the reason for that is magic. It being hold in place by a force from majoras mask.

[@purplediamond7428]

[@Sonicjan]

I don't know, but isn't that moon also CREATED by magic?

[@snowball9241]

[@Komische1Frage]

you are right. Only the characters in the towns are talking about the moon falling, since they don't know about Majoras Mask. The moon is obviously pulled by it's power.

[@anti-amourshipping2238]

Retrogirl that's just a theory... A PROBABLY TRUE THEORY!

[@TheMornal]

A few issues with this one. 1. The moon is not big enough to effect the tides of anything of the sort in any meaningful way. 2. The moon is being pulled down by magic. I'm pretty sure magic and physics are sort of mutually exclusive.

[@YamatoFukkatsu]

I was with this up until the end, when it starts going on about how the moon's gravitational pull would fuck things over. One thing you're overlooking: gravity depends on an object's mass, and if the Termina moon is as small as you suggest, then I doubt that's really gonna do much of anything. It sounds like it might be just slightly worse than if a man-made satellite fell back down to our earth.... hell, do tides even exist in Termina?

[@grayson-bubbles-light5025]

Yeah, but you have to remember that an size object has gravity, and depending on the density of termina's moon, then we can determine if termina has tides or not. If it was as dense as our moon, termina would have very small tides, but still have tides. also, if it does have enough gravity to have tides, than it is able to push termina out of its orbit and have temperature changes as he said. Now, I could be wrong, but this all depends on the density of the moon

[@wesleythomas8135]

Too bad the moon in Majora's mask is too small to have a gravitational pull. Therefore there are no tides and no climate swings on what planet Link lives on.

[@KLUSTERIZER]

Everything generates a gravitational field, even the not-so-massive.

[@Letholldus]

So, since the game is about Death, it makes sense that Bongo Bongo wants revenge. Also, this is the First Zelda Game that doesn't feature Ganondorf. Maybe Ganondorf revived Bongo Bongo to take over a world, i.e Termina in order to achieve his goal.

[@foofgam8700]

you forgot something. it is not that big so it doesn't have much gravity. termina has really low tides. no rising tides

[@justinkim4932]

Ethan Underwood it's not about size. It's density. Mat pat said that the density was the same, and the moon was extremely close,the tides would be huge enough to flood termina

[@aba12385]

Actually I'm pretty sure Ethan's more right than you considered Captain. Density is not the only think to worry about in gravity, but mass is what you need to consider. So, since the mass of this moon(more like asteroid and not even a big asteroid at that more like a pretty small asteroid one at 208' wide) is so little it would not be able to affect a planets tides as easily as our moon. It may be too small to do anything catastrophic to our tides no matter how close it got. The real question is what secret force is slowing the fall of the moon down so much. It should be falling much much faster than it currently falls. So some unknown force must actually be slowing it down to the point that it can just land gently on the ground, but possibly this energy when actually contacting something other than this moon is being released and destroying the town.

[@trashcubed2123]

It has the same density he said, but not the same mass. If you had a whole planet made out of stone or just a pebble, the density would be the same, but the mass would be different. Or am I mistaking? Please correct me if so.

[@Kringle308]

TheIndieReviewer You're correct. Density=mass/volume. As long as it's made up of the same material, then the density stays the same and the mass and volume are different. Matt is assuming that both moons are cut from the same type of rock without any proof.

[@TheGreatYukon]

If a moon that size would affect tides just because it's a moon made out of material as dense as moon rock, you might as well say that the moon rocks brought back to Earth by astronauts would cause tides. This thing's puny.

[@bigstudwithaguitar]

His logic ate itself. For the purposes of his first argument (Kinetic energy calculation), he went out of his way to determine that the moon was (in this alternate reality) way way smaller than the real life moon. For the purposes of his second argument (the gravitational/tide argument) he assumed the moon was the same mass as the moon in OUR reality in order to say that it would destroy the delicate ecosystem on earth. If the planet link is on (presumably based on earth but different) is small enough for that moon to make differences to tide (even though he did use the standard estimate for the energy to destroy OUR Earth) perhaps the moon would be able to destroy it. If the planet link is on is standard Earth size, it would be fair to assume that the moon is too small to be effected by tide FROM THIS MOON (keep in mind, high tide never happened in the game, even though the moon was nearly crashing into earth. You could stand next to the coast all year and nothing would happen. Therefore, it would be fair to assume that the moon is really really small, and the Earth is standard Earth size. When you take all of this into consideration, the only logical explaination is this. The exceptionally small moon is going to destroy Clock town, but that's about it. Nobody will die, but the Town will be slowly committed to the ground. Link helped to stop THAT from happening. Not pointless. :)

Your theory has one problem. The moon in Majora's Mask is no where near as massive as our moon, so the gravitational force it exerts would be a lot less. Their moon is the size of a city at best, so it's gravitational force wouldn't be powerful enough to cause all those disasters.

I also read something interesting about how if you really think about it, even when you stop the moon from crashing, the three day cycle doesn't start over so wherever you left off is what became of the people of Termina. The monkey was boiled The Deku kid is dead Kafei is locked in Sakon's hideout Romani is insane Lulu has no voice Mikau and Darmani are dead The Gorons probably froze to death It's the only Zelda game that doesn't really have a happy ending. It's the only one where you realize holy shit I can't save everyone (despite the BS credits assuring you that some of them are just fine but they fail to show Kafei at the end and they show Deku Butler finally finding his dead son) It's such a sad game I want to speed run it and do everything before 3 days is up so everyone is saved!

[@ScorchtheHawk]

Maybe the "Goddess of Time" Tatl and Zelda mentioned was like "okay, now I just gotta mix all these happy endings together and things will be okay." But I think I'm gonna believe in his other theory of Termina being Purgatory now. Makes everything in this game make complete sense

[@manuelesparza1901]

Eh, a lot of the things can be solved by more time. Link gives them more time by saving the world. Mikau and Darmani die anyway. I don't really think this game is as depressing as people say, and throughout the entire 3 days the monkey doesn't get boiled even up til the last minute which means they held onto him, and by saving the world Link lifts the curses everywhere, which means the princess would make her way back and they'd free the monkey anyway.

[@beatlerocker99]

Presumably, once Majora is defeated, all the curses on all the regions are lifted. So the Deku Princess returns and saves the monkey, spring returns to Snowhead, Lulu gets her voice back, etc etc.

[@Jerkwad152]

I was with you until you got to the tidal effects thing. A rock that size exerts no significant gravitational force. At worst, it would squash anything under it by its weight, and probably roll over some more stuff until it hit a divot. Then there'd be a big rock sitting in Termina Field. People in Clock Town could casually stroll away from it and not get hurt.

[@springtrap1156]

Jerkwad152 Romani ranch and snow head are protected by rocks and the valley would get burned for a few miles. Most people would flee to the mountains because of height. And the ranch could be saved because of giant hills. Ikana would be spared except for it entrance. Great bay may live too because it's low sea level. The only areas affected would be the clock town and parts of the swamp because they are vulnerable. Wood fall is probably where the deku and humans would take refuge because it is very safe and all the need to do is seal the entrance. The Zoras, Gorons, po's, and deku would survive. All of clock town would be destroyed but everyone can survive

[@abbadon2929]

Jerkwad152 well, you also have to consider damage done to atmosphere as the moon enters it. an asteroid of a similar size wiped out the dinosaurs but also cause massive atmospheric damage, as well as stripping th atmosphere of its ozone layer, which causes a myriad of issues in the environment.

[@Jerkwad152]

Link: That's a big moon. Moon: 63.5 Meters wide Titanic: Pathetic.

[@icantthinkofanotherhandle]

I remember watching this very man. Alright, but let me do a few things real quick. So, judging by Matpat's calculations, he managed to find out the moons height in Majora's Mask is about 208 feet tall, which I believe is about the same height as the Lighthouse in St. Davids. That means if you roughly compare the moon to the lighthouse, they would definitely be the same height but not the same width. So it wouldn't even be that tall, for you it would definitely be tall, but looking at it from a distance, not so terrifying now, is it? And that, kids, is how science works.

[@tdark987]

Silly nitpick, but if you watch the game over cutscene, you'll see that the moon actually explodes before it even touches the ground. It's this explosion that destroys everything around it and kills Link, not the impact. The same sort of thing has happened during some asteroid “collisions” on Earth, where the incoming asteroid actually explodes in the atmosphere before even reaching the ground. It still doesn't make a huge amount of sense in the grand scheme of things (the moon in Majora doesn’t have anywhere near the energy required for that), but it could maybe at least explain the destruction somewhat. Nuclear bombs are often designed to detonate before they hit the ground, to extend the blast radius. Maybe if we assume that Majora himself triggers the explosion that destroys termina from inside the moon then the resulting damage makes a little more sense; you’re then effectively looking at a 450 kiloton bomb rather than a 450000 ton piece of rock. It’s still completely absurd, but perhaps just slightly less absurd. XD

[@adelaidejordes9125]

Well, that wouldn't destroy the world. At least, I don't think it will. But the gravitational changes will wipe out the world.

[@tdark987]

​@@adelaidejordes9125 Well, that brings me to another silly nitpick... We don't actually see the moon destroy the world, only the area surrounding Clock Town, which is maybe 100 square miles at most. A mass of 450 thousand tons would have absolutely no measurable tidal/gravitational effects on a planet big enough to produce essentially the same gravity as the Earth, but a bomb of the same size would easily level an area of

Dr. Ideas He misuses the work Theory. It's incredibly misleading with how he presents it and it does irk me. A theory has been tested one way or another and can be proven true, like gravity. What he's proposing is an idea, an idea that while makes some sense, still has holes.

[@gluesniffer4291]

+Player One If a theory is proven then it is no longer a theory. A theory doesn't have to be able to be proved in order to be a theory. For example you can't prove God is/isn't real, but it is still a theory. You cannot prove that the big bang did/didn't occur, but it is still a theory.

[@ChaosKnuxxx]

Dr. Ideas because it's been tested and proven through these tests. You can't test for god, it's not a theory.

Lol even better answer how could the moon be near termina when the earth and moon with be constantly moving from each other changing the orbit and gravitational pull. The moon can't be in earth that means so it's either a moon made of magic or Nintendo ran out of ways to destroy a town.

[@metabog]

That tidal bulge animation doesn't look right. Also if the moon is so small and so light it probably wouldn't have had any real tidal effects. It makes no sense really, it's just nintendo logic.

[@Jun13-8]

well there is magic in the game so we don't know what it could do.

[@Actuallyaims09]

yeah first half of the video completely discredits the second half

[@orbitur339]

Well, all objects have gravity in space. let's say we hypothetically went into the middle of nowhere in space and we had a watermelon and a small rubber eraser. Now if we release both of these items the small rubber eraser, which has much less mass and density than the watermelon, will start to orbit around the watermelon and both of them will rotate on an axis like Earth and the moon do. With this in mind maybe the problem you're seeing in this theory isn't the size of the moon, but that he assumes the world Link is on is Earth and/or the size of Earth. We don't even know if Majora takes place in the same world as the other games...as far as we know the whole world may be just what's seen in the game, which would make it a very small planet. I mean obviously the moon with a face isn't our moon...so I don't know if it's save to assume that world is our world, so the second half of this video isn't completely discredited although it is highly unlikely that such a small moon would balance a small planet's gravitational pull and axis rotation. Another thing is that it should have been traveling at a much faster rate seeing that it's so small and entering the planet's atmosphere, hell even it's gravitational pull, would introduce gravity's acceleration rate into the equation. Being a Zelda game where magic is kind of a thing, maybe that was involved because with use of science and math none of this would add up... the speed he got would be null and void, unless that cutscene was showing the moon crashing was in super slow motion there's no possible way it would ever be traveling that slow... ever. Besides...you can't rule out the fact that none of this is happening in actuality if you agree with his last theory this could just be Link's purgatory and it's using his childlike analysis of the world and his understanding of physics.

[@HotSauceBear]
