The tale of Majora's Mask portrays a deep sense of loss and grief, both for Link and the inhabitants of Termina. Fans pointed out that the world of Termina seems to mirror the stages seen in the grief model by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. But is that really the case?

The Five Stages of Grief belong to a model that describes five possible stages a person goes through as he or she griefs. Many people are under the impression that these five stages are undeniable, as in, everyone goes through it in that specific manner. But that is unfortunately not how it works.

The first half of the theory is me explaining how the model works, the latter half is dedicated to debunking the grief theory.
