What is the origin of Toilet Hand?
Who or how did something this weird enter the developers minds? I can understand now must things in LoZ have been created but I just draw a blank for Toilet Hand. I have no idea.
Does anyone here know?

******************

Here are some pictures of Toilet Hand so everyone knows what I'm talking about.

Skyward Sword Toilet Hand

Link and Toilet Hand (action figures)

Honestly I have no idea. I would stare at this weird groping hand for hours and never quite grasp what the **** it was.

It made a reappearance in Skyward Sword, if I'm not mistaken. I made a point of lingering around the toilet until I heard or saw something and I was not disappointed.​

Fixed the Skyward Sword image of the Toilet hand.

The Skyward Sword part is really cool. You hand on a love letter or you can literally have it flushed down the toilet.

Just one of many weird things about Majora's Mask, honestly I think the game might have been the result of Nintendo discovering mushrooms
