Majora

Majora is a term with multiple uses in language and popular culture. In Latin, majora is the feminine plural form of the adjective maior, meaning greater or larger, and occurs in phrases such as labia majora, the outer lips of the vulva.

In fiction, Majora refers to the demon associated with the artifact Majora's Mask in The Legend of Zelda series by Nintendo. In the game's lore, Majora is a malevolent being sealed within the mask, which grants power to its wearer while tending to corrupt them.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, released in 2000 for the Nintendo 64, centers on Link's attempts to stop the wearer of the mask from causing catastrophe and to avert a three-day cycle disaster when the moon threatens Termina. The game is notable for its time mechanics, its shifting environments, and its emphasis on exploration, puzzle solving, and character interaction across repeated cycles.

Beyond the Zelda franchise, majora is rarely used as a common noun in modern English, and when encountered, it is typically as a reference to the Latin term or to the Zelda character and artifact. In anatomy, the word majora also appears in the Latin-inspired term labia majora, describing the outer vaginal lips.
