Wow some how i did miss that after all my play troughs. This must make it the darkest Zelda game of all time.

Putting everything else aside that makes Majora's Mask darker, lets just look at the number of deaths in each game:

Lets see... one death in OoT... compared to 3 deaths in MM....

 

Yeah MM still beats it.

 

If we're talking about deaths then LttP probably wins in that category.

 

 

Why, exactly? I just finished playing through that game again a few days ago... The only people who might have died were Link's uncle, and the flute kid, right? Don't they both appear in the ending? I forgot.

 

Oh, there was a lot more misfortune than that. Half of the people died, the other half met some type of horrid alternative fate in the Dark World.

Besides Link's uncle and the flute kid, the Priest you bring Zelda to in the beginning also gets murdered. There are the countless brainwashed guards of Hyrule that have to be killed to get around since Link is ultimate wanted...Zelda and the maidens are all capture and trapped in some sort of limbo in the Dark World and can't escape (making this the only Zelda game where Link ultimately can't save her by the end).

Then there are all the inhabitants of Hyrule that, for some reason or another, end up falling through some sort of rift and trapped in the Dark World where they are transformed into some mutated, helpless atrocity, including that one person that turns into a tree and sort of 'dies' right in front of you. Others just turn into monsters that have to be slain (Blind the Thief)

Basically, Ganon fucks up Hyrule so badly that LttP is the only game in the series to date where Link has to use the power of the full triforce to fix everything. That's why you so those people in the ending. He had to wish half of them back to life and save the other half trapped in the Dark World.
