| The Triforce of Power and Majora's Mask have the same plot device, clearly. However, one supplies power to a person, the other brings out the evil to that person, controls him/her, and gives the possessed host the power to wreak havoc. Same effect, but entirely different things, and the Mask itself is its own conscious entity. The Triforce just gives power to whoever holds it. The Mask gives power to this person, draws out the evil within them, feeds off of them, and grows into its own evil form of doom and destruction.
Also when I said the Triforce wasn't final boss material I meant you wouldn't go into the boss chamber and fight a golden triangle. It itself doesn't do anything; it is entirely the person that does this. The Mask, however, is the final boss... it is its own being, and it does the asskicking itself once it gets up its power. Yes, they both need a host, but Majora is a controlling being, not just something that gives power to its wearer. |
