btw in my first post, I said that Skull Kid was like an overused toy, the subtext being that Majora's Mask treated Skull Kid as a toy, obtaining negative psychological energy (because it's curse-driven) by overworking him, and then throwing him away when he broke.

And I literally just said the mask is symbolic, why did you think that I’m denying majora?

no one explained what “majora” is, there’s no boss named majora, only majora’s mask, majora’s incarnation and majora’s wrath
we only know majora’s mask was a item used for cursing

…MM整个游戏最西幻的竟然是骷髅小子

但是西方人爱咋想就咋想吧反正象征主义是这样的

It can speak doesn’t mean it’s not a symbolic carrier
Link and Skull Kid can also symbolise in this game

That quote in Japanese: 使えない道具はただのゴミでしかない
though in English it was “puppet” but couldn’t it be as a kind of mental manipulation maybe like gaslighting? It IS a game full with emotions and symbolism
