Lorule is Termina.
That's right.
Think about it.
In Majora's Mask, Termina was presented as very similar while very different from Hyrule.
The same as Lorule.
In addition, what is the condition of the Mountain in Lorule? Permanently winter. Also, have you seen the video of Link entering Lorule? It look very trippy, doesn't it, with the black background and the bright colours mixed together?
Just sayin'

1. IS THAT A GORON?! No wait...it has pointy ears...BUT DAT BELT THO
2.What the hell is that. Is that a wannabe Zora?
3. A castle guard! Stuck as a painting! Nailed it!
4. A soldier painting? Will painting link have to fight enemies in his new form?
5. Okay. This is a river zora. a river zora and Ruto combined. dayumn. New merpeople.
6. Looks like a darknut! shweeeet.
7. SHADOWWWWW LIIIIIIINK AWWWWW SHIIIIIIIT!
8. Another castle guard painting. he doesn't seem too worried. maybe he's in on it.
9. A sage? This dude doesn't look evil- there's a triforce on it's sash...Okay, shit, I can't tell if it's a dude or a chick.
10. MOBLIN! AND IT LOOKS LIKE PORKEY!
11. I'm guessing this is the new Impa!

TERMINA

LINK LOST TO GANONDORF IN OoT

HAS A PARALLEL CHARACTER IN LORULE

MAJORA'S MASK

You can explore most of Hyrule even before going to the Sanctuary.
    The Lantern does not use the Energy-Meter. Only Ravio items do.
    In Kakariko you can buy a bottle from the merchant and get the Bug-Catching Net from a bee guy, similar to A Link to the Past.
    The bar in the southeast part of town is now a Milk Bar and the owner looks like Talon.
    The shop in Kakariko lets you buy a shield, the Foul Fruit and the Scoot Fruit. 50 Rupees each.
    The Foul Fruit stuns enemies in the environment or scares them off (haven't tested it).
    The Scoot Fruit warps you out of dungeons.
    You can sell bees for 50 Rupees each to the bee guy. Bees are easy to find in Kakariko, so this is a very easy way to farm Rupees. Bees are stored in bottles.
    Hyrule Castle walls get "graffiti" of the cursed soldiers.
    From Ravio you get Ravio's Bracelet. It generates the Energy-Meter and is used by all of his items.
    Rented items have purple bunny ears on them.
    9th item in Ravio's shop is the Sand Rod. Nintendo already released an artwork of the item, it's the one that looks like a golden shovel. However, it was rented by one of the descendants of the Sages, who then gets abducted by Yuga. So, you're not able to rent the Sand Rod in the beginning of the game.
    You can, however, rent all other items right after the Eastern Palace. Prices are between 20 and 100 Rupees for renting. Fire Rod and Ice Rod are most expansive with 100 Rupees each. But I could easily afford renting all items at once.
    The small bird creature next to Ravio takes the items back, if you die (never happened to me though).
    Eastern Palace is quite non-linear in design, also has some optional parts.
    Yuga turns Link into a painting at the end of the dungeon, but Ravio's Bracelet saves him.
    After the boss fight you can explore the outer walls of Eastern Palace.
    There are purple Energy Jars (similar to Magic Jars), which instantly refill your Energy-Meter.
    The mother from the smith family is looking for her boy at this point in the game. He seems to have disappeared at the Flute Boy's Meadow, where you can only find his Pouch (it lets you equip items with X).
    You can merge with the wall behind Majora's Mask in Link's house. This makes it look like Link's actually wearing the mask.
    Irene, the witch, acts as your teleport system. You can call her with the bell and she will transport you to any of the bird statues.
    The bird statues need to be activated and they also act as your saving points. You can't save the game at any time, only at the statues.
    The witch hut offers four different potions: red, blue, golden/yellow and purple.
    Red Potion only costs Rupees and heals eight hearts.
    Blue Potion heals all hearts, but requires some blue stuff from monsters in addition to Rupees.
    Golden/Yellow Potion makes you invulnerable for a small time. Don't remember the requirements.
    Purple Potion damages enemies in the environment. Requires those purple monster guts.
    There are 100 Maiamais to collect. The map shows the total number of remaining Maiamais per region.
    Maiamais feel like a mix between Secret Seashells and Gold Skulltulas. Can be found behind houses, in trees, in pots, under water...
    You can only upgrade Ravio items and only, if they were bought, not rented.
    You have the choice between two dungeons at this point: House of Gales and Tower of Hera.
    House of Gales is the windmill dungeon on Lake Hylia, which Nintendo already showed us. It requires the Tornado Rod, but also the Zora Flippers.
    You can get the Zora Flippers from the Zora Queen, but you have to bring back a gem, which prevents her from becoming fatter (I won't spoil the surprise here).
    House of Gales has some very clever puzzles with the wall merging. I got stuck two times...
    Boss of House of Gales is a giant pillar with an eye on top. It tries to push you into an abyss. Very fun and creative fight.
    Tower of Hera requires the Hammer, but also the Power Glove.
    You get the Power Glove from a guy, who lives at the old lumberjack house and lifts rocks.
    The Power Glove only lifts small rocks. For the big ones you need the Titan's Mitts (according to Hint Ghosts).
    Death Mountain is full of rolling boulders. Spectacle Rock is now an active vulcano. The Deadrock enemies make a return.
    You dodge the boulders with the wall merge or destroy them with your Hammer. Some of them are covered in Rupees.
    The Tower of Hera dungeon appears to be the same as in the demo (I stopped playing it in the middle).
    East of Tower of Hera you can use the Hookshot to enter the top of the other mountain. However, you will be stopped by Lynels, which can easily kill you. Yes, this games uses enemies as a boundary.
    The Desert is completely shut off. No way in there. It's probably the opposite to ALttP, so have to get there from Lorule, I suppose.
    The sparkling rocks from the GBA version of ALttP return. They drop Rupees, when you hit them.
    There's another new minidungeon next to the graveyard, similar to the one at Eastern Palace.
    There's a bottle to find with a message in it.
    I was able to get 15 of 20 items. Probably missing two more bottles and the Sand Rod. Two remaining items are completely unknown at this point.

i was very disappointed with how it ended. It was nothing like I predicted, and Majora's Mask is basically just an Easter Egg.

Also, Echo was right.

Four sages left! Ice Ruins had one of the most amazing 3D effect usage I've ever seen.

So, with the whole seven dungeons thing, I ended up at the Theives' Hideout (or whatever) first. I already got stuck in that B2 room you can see from the beginning, the one with the one person locked in a cell. Wat do?

Just upgraded my fire rod. Excuse me while I go kill everything.

There's a cell near the top left of that room with a crack in the top wall of it. Use the bomb enemy in there to break it, then once you go through the hole, walk to the left, then down. That'll get you into the bottom left cell with the switches and the platforms that you can raise.

In the Dark Palace, there's this one room on the first floor (I think) that I don't know how to get into. It's the room below the one where you have the rising and descending platform in the middle, that you have to use to throw bombs on the switches on the sides of the moving platform.

I've yet to figure it out either. I initially assumed that, seeing as bombs are the main ravio item in this one, you had to blow a hole in the bottom wall, and so I have set bombs on literally every inch of that wall, to no avail. I tried consulting a hint ghost, but it literally told me exactly what I'd suspected, that it needed "a well placed bomb". So, yeah, I'm kinda at a loss here, as well. Which kinda pisses me off, because I'm 99% sure there's a master ore in there.

You're supposed to put a bomb on the bottom of the moving platform, when it's all the way down. And unfortunately, the only thing in this hidden room is a fairy spring. The real good stuff was that Master Ore from the secret second floor room, which I'm assuming you already found...

When Zelda gave me the bow of light, my intestines started to quiver.
When Ravio turned out to be Link's Lorule counterpart, my stomach started to emit a low, rumbling sound.
When Link and Zelda used their wish to restore Lorule's triforce, the seat of my pants started glowing with a bright light, and then my bowels released a river of shit the magnitude of which Andy Dufresne had to crawl through in Shawshank Redemption.
Needless to say, I was completely awestruck by how great that ending was.

Having attempted to compose video game music, I'm so amazed by the way that they developed the music in this game. It seems as if they managed to find the perfect balance between repetitiveness and maintenance of interest. Orchestration of songs from A Link to the Past aside, they did some amazing things unique to this game; for example, the changing of the themes of Hyrule Field and Lorule Field in subtle but significant ways. What really blew my mind, though, was the theme for the very last dungeon. At the beginning, it was already amazing. But then, what's this? I beat a boss, and it gets a little more complex and variant. I beat another, and the pattern continues, and WAIT IS THAT GANON'S THEME HOLY SHIT. I beat the third, and the fourth, and I literally hold off going to the final boss so that I can listen to this final development some more. I cannot overstate how happy that made me.

You have to set a bomb on the bottom of the platform that raises and lowers so that it goes off when it's lowered, and it'll break a hole in the wall right beneath that. Which, I could have sworn I had tried already, but apparently my bomb hadn't been "well-placed" enough.

It was way too goddamn easy to get the blue tunic. I mean, what the shit.

I find it kinda stupid that you're stuck wearing blue/red once you get it, and that red is the final color you can end up wearing.  I just don't think it looks nice.  I mean, the Level 2 Master Sword and Red Mail would've matched and looked nice, or Level 3 and Blue Mail, but this... this is not cool.
