Description I've been playing Majora's Mask.  Although it's my first playthrough I already know most of the plot, including the fact that Mikau dies the moment you meet him.  When I got to the beach, I was prepared for a tragic death scene.

I was not prepared for him to leap to his feet, shred on his fishbone guitar while screaming, "YEAH BABY", and then faceplant in the sand.

Lol, this is so true! I guess Nintendo either wanted to insert a bit of comedy to lighten the already depressing mood, or they thought the best way for Mikau to go is by doing what he loves. I think anyone would love to their favorite things one last time before kicking the bucket, but still!  I remember first thinking he was gonna be ok and watch with a reassuring smile.......then he faints and dies.  My heart broke that day.

This is still hilarious though! I read this daily. Love live the guitarist!

I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo originally wrote a tragic death scene, and then went, "Huh ... this is kinda dark for little kids.  OKAY, THROW IN A GUITAR SOLO."

Thank you!  Wow, daily?  What a huge compliment, I'm flattered!

 I actually did read an article(can't remember where) where someone from Nintendo(can't remember who) said that Mikau's death was intended to be sad. And man, did they succeed.

Majora's Mask is a pretty sad game (at least, in comparison to other Zelda games), all silliness aside.

That wouldn't surprise me either. I do admit that I like the manga version better for this scene since its less... Spazzy and take itself seriously, you know?

Your welcome! This picture deserves a daily read! Its hilarious! In fact, this Mikau actually behave pretty much the same way as the Mikau I RP as with my sibling. ^^ Even the laugh this one made is almost identical lol. He's one of my favorite characters by the way!

I haven't read the manga for Majora's Mask, since I wanted to complete the game first, but I'll admit I'm rather fond of the Ocarina of Time one.

I do love Mikau, as little as we see of him.  Although I also have a huge soft spot for Japas, clueless stoner that he is.

The Majora's Mask manga is really nice. ^^ Unlike in the game, the artist handle Mikau's death in a more realistic and calming way, hence why I prefer it to the game's sillier version. Since its one volume, it'll be a little rush, but its still a great read just like the Ocarina of Time manga. ^^ I loved both mangas.

I'm a huge Mikau fan despite his small screen time.  I don't know why, but as the years went by, I just grew to love and respect him more and more to the point he became my favorite character in any video game I played. I'm even doing a fanfiction series just for him to show my dedication to this underdeveloped/underrated character, which is why it takes me a few days to reply back. ^^  I wish we knew more about him and his life. And who wouldn't love Japas? He's the most magical Zora to ever grace a video game series. He's easily my favorite next to Mikau!

I guess zoras take the whole 'swan song' thing literally, huh?

Literally Mikau
Can you imagine what he was like day to day?

He was the chillest, most spaced-out, laid-back guitarist fishman ever.

I have to question how he went about the serious business of rescuing Lulu's eggs.
LULU: My eggs!  Mikau, they've been stolen!  Please, you must rescue them!
MIKAU: ... Dude ... you were like ... pregnant?

Thank you!  I was so stunned when it happened in the game.  "Mikau, WHUT."
