==''Tri Force Heroes''==
Fierce Deity reappears in after the December 2, 2015 update in [[Tri Force Heroes]] as an [[outfit]], containing the spirit of Fierce Deity (similar to the [[Kokiri]] Clothes and the [[Zora]] Costume). The outfit can be unlocked at the Baneful Zone in the [[Den of Trials]], after defeating the [[Shadow Link]]s for the first time. Unlike before, Link's hair and size will remain the same, as it's not fully transforming Link.
As Fierce Deity appeared in the [[Child Timeline]] instead of the [[Fallen Hero Timeline]], it is unknown how the spirit has returned.
===Abilities===
When wearing the Fierce Deity outfit, Link will be granted to use a [[Beam Sword]] (in the shape of Fierce Deity's Sword) which'll shoot four [[Beam]]s from his location, with the additional double damage from Link's original sword. He can preform this by swinging his sword with full health and/or use a [[Spin Attack]], even without full health. Additionally, he will get 100% knockback resistance, causing him to not be knocked off by enemies like a [[Hardhat Beetle]]. Unlike the Fierce Deity in Majora's Mask, (not including [[bottles]]) this one is able to use any item he likes.
When Link wears the outfit, we will also lose his pupils and a purple-ish aura will appear around him, similar to when Link in Majora's Mask wears the [[Fierce Deity's Mask]]. If he wears the outfit and talks to [[The Great Tripini]], he will suggest that Fierce Deity looks like the bad guy, similar to how [[Majora's Mask]] describes it.

Template:Character The Fierce Deity is one of the transformations Link turns into in Majora's Mask, achieved by wearing the Fierce Deity's Mask. This transforms him into a mysterious and powerful warrior resembling a Hylian. It is one of four mask transformations in the game.

Transformation

Link obtains the Fierce Deity Mask after he trades the twenty non-transforming masks to the four Moon Children Inside the Moon. The final child sitting by the tree will give Link the Fierce Deity Mask after noticing all his other masks are gone. Wearing this mask enables Link to transform into the Fierce Deity only during boss battles.

In Majora's Mask 3D, Link can also transform into the Fierce Deity inside the two Fishing Holes. If he attempts to leave when in Fierce Deity form, the Fishing Hole Man will keep the young hero from doing so, wondering how he got in there in the first place.[1]

Abilities

In the Fierce Deity form, Link gains greater strength and range in his attacks as well as certain new abilities. Because the Fierce Deity wields a large, double-handed, helix-edged Sword, he cannot use a Shield, although this disadvantage is compensated for by the Sword's superior power. Link can also use the Sword to release Sword Beams when targeting an enemy.

Non-Canon Information

Majora's Mask Manga

Fierce Deity Link in the Majora's Mask manga

In the Template:Manga, Link receives the Fierce Deity's Mask from Majora and becomes Fierce Deity Link during his fight against it. In a flashback of Majora, it is revealed that while as a dragon, a mysterious man bearing a strong resemblance to the Fierce Deity in both appearance and clothing, had visited Majora. The man played music for the dragon, who danced for three days and three nights before dying. The man then carved the Majora's Mask from the creature's hide, hoping to seal its power. It is hinted in the story that the stranger is in fact a god, the first being that is able to overcome the beast of Majora, and that it does so with music that controls the flow of time.

Super Smash Bros. Series

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Fierce Deity Link appears as a Sticker. In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, he also appears as one of Link's alternative costumes.[2]

Hyrule Warriors

HW Young Link - Fierce Deity Form.png

In Hyrule Warriors, Fierce Deity Link appears as part of Young Link's Mask weapon type moveset. During Focus Spirit, Link can temporarily transform into the Fierce Deity to perform powerful attacks before reverting to his normal self. It also includes all other bonuses characteristic to Focus Spirit. This form of Focus Spirit is unusual in that it lasts longer than any other Warrior's. While in Fierce Deity form, Young Link is able to shoot Sword Beams with most of his swings, but generally shares all of his original form's moves. He can also use the Template:It to convert his Special Attack Gauge into more Magic to refill his Magic Meter, thus extending his time in this form. Young Link's Focus Attack features him slicing the Moon in half, damaging enemies around him.

Fierce Deity Link also appears as an alternate costume for Link in the Majora's Mask DLC Pack.

Trivia

  • In Tri Force Heroes, the Fierce Deity Armor appears as an Outfit. It doubles the damage of the Sword, allows Link to shoot four Sword Beams, and reduces knockback from enemies.
  • The Fierce Deity form is popularly referred to as "Oni Link" within Template:LZS community. This is based on an incomplete translation of his Japanese name that incorporates the kanji for "fierce" (Ki), which can be read alone as Template:Japanese.

Etymology

The term "fierce deity," Template:Japanese, is used to refer to several deities in the Shingon Buddhist pantheon, such as Bishamonten or the Myō-ō, who are fierce and wrathful toward the negative forces that work against humanity's enlightenment, but are benevolent and supportive of humanity. They are seen as deities that work to defeat evil, a quality which the Fierce Deity's Mask gives Link greater ability to achieve.
