>occult pagan and Abrahamic references
it's japan post aum shinrikyo, the game is aonuma's pet project meant to be a darker take on zelda. you're just worshipping the death of innocence.

I don't get what you guys mean, its obvious that the festival of time is a pagan harvest like festival, 4 giants are supposed to be gods and the skull kid a demon, stone tower is the tower of Babel and ikana is Gehenna and the whole souls stored in masks concept is pretty occult but a bit far-fetched

as you just described, it's a very pop interpretation of symbols, i wouldn't rule out it was studied before being implemented but most likely it's more of an intuitive approach to what the symbols point towards.

what i mean is i don't think nintendo staff was initiated into any kind of esoteric mystery, so i also doubt they were properly instructed to interpret any symbol. however, i do see them there but i attribute that to the zeitgeist under which the game was developed, rather than some sort of deliberate intention to codify some secret knowledge in a video game.

Nintendo and Japan are 100% ran by freemasons.
