While studying the mechanics of death (The dynamics of death in Majora’s Mask) in Majora's Mask, it occurs to me that Link has the fate to destroy Termina through the act of relieving everyone's suffering. This is extremely similar to the power that Link has in Link's Awakening, where he has the power to destroy Koholint by relieving the Wind Fish from the nightmares that plague him.

An odd parallel, especially considering the stories were written by the same person Yoshiaki Koizumi.
