The Giants support the
Moon, preventing it from falling
In
Majora's Mask, the Four Giants (四巨人,
Four Giants) are the guardian
gods of
Termina that rest in the four cardinal directions of the land of Termina:
Woodfall,
Snowhead,
Great Bay and
Ikana Canyon. They were, however sealed in four monsters:
Odolwa,
Goht,
Gyorg and
Twinmold, by the evil inside
Majora's Mask. Because of this, the four domains became cursed and the creatures living near the temples were afflicted by troubles. However, the most devastating curse was inflicted on
Clock Town, to which the Skull Kid had summoned the
Moon to collide. However,
Link saved the Giants by defeating the curses they were trapped in, and with the
Oath to Order, called the four Giants to stop the Moon from falling.
Trivia
- In the event that the player fails to awaken all four giants by the time the moon falls, the giant(s) who were awakened will arrive at Clock Town to attempt (but ultimately fail) to stop the moon.
- The Four Giants appear in the background of the Termina Bay stage of Super Smash Bros. Melee, and stop the the moon from falling like they do in Majora's Mask.
