After a defeat, the Garo will always commit ritual suicide, either by flame or by a bomb, following their laws.
Befitting their roles as spies, the Gero spirits are very knowledgable about the land of the Ikana and divulge what they know when bested in combat by Link. The spirits of the Garo manifest in places where a " thirst for blood is looming all around." They may only be visualized when Link is wearing the Garo's Mask, sadly one of the least useful masks in Majora's Mask. However, by the time Link arrives, the only inhabitants are the undead and spirits, with the Garo being no exception. The Garo seen in Majora's Mask were originally spies sent to observe the Ikana Kingdom. Possibly keeping with the theory that Majora's Mask symbolizes the stages of grief, the Garo's haunting appearances and tragic lore lean well into the grim atmosphere that permeates the rest of the accursed Ikana Canyon. For those exploring the Ikana Canyon, the Garo are sure to be an intimidating and intriguing force despite their relatively few appearances. Were the Garo Master responsible for the curse on Ikana, he would have been bringing it down upon his own people as well as their enemies, perhaps unintentionally.The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask had many creepy and mysterious characters but some of the most obscure was the race of hooded ninjas known as the Garo. With this in mind, it seems the "masked one" may refer to the Garo Master who is found within the temple, and therefore may have opened it. Dampé even comments that his father once told him about the origin of Captain Keeta's remains, implying that the war ended in the distant past. Ikana seems to have been cursed for ages, and the Skull Kid just recently entered Termina with Majora's Mask. Many believe the "masked one" refers to the Skull Kid, but this is up for debate. Igos asks Link to seal the doors in order to return true light to the kingdom. The temple is often spoken of as a cursed place, and when the "masked one" opened the doors to the temple, evils were unleashed into the world. The answer to this likely revolves around Stone Tower Temple.
This does not fully explain however, why the land of Ikana is an undead wasteland. The fact that they are spying even beyond death implies that they did not achieve a complete victory as does Igos' continued control of the Ancient Castle of Ikana. Even now their spirits-emptiness cloaked in darkness-continue to spy.", revealing that the Garo are in fact undead, as well as the stalfos-like Ikanians. However, Pamela's Father tells Link " have been unable to forget their living days. Isn't it petty, little battles like this that have caused it?". From here, the Garo may have usurped control of the kingdom, as Igos comments: "The kingdom being ruined and us left in this state. I have waited here for one to come and awaken my soul." This likely explains the reasoning behind him and his men being found in Ikana Graveyard. Captain Keeta eventually lost a great battle, however, as he tells Link: "Since being shamed by loss in a battle within my kingdom. Captain Keeta was placed in charge of the Ikana army by the king, Igos du Ikana. From this it is presumed they were found out, and the Great War broke out. Pamela's Father reveals that the Garo were the spies of a foreign nation sent to investigate Ikana's defenses. The war is never spoken of in depth, but rather, hinted at several times during Link's time in Ikana.įrom what can be gathered, it would appear that the Ikana Royal Family was forced to defend the land of Ikana from an Enemy Nation. Happening prior to the events of the game, the war is one of the most ambiguous and mysterious aspects of the Legend of Zelda series. The Great War of Ikana is an event from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Tell them the war has ended." - Captain Keeta War between Ikana army and the Enemy Nation " Convey my words to my men, who, even in death, remain loyal to me.
