I can't wait for Skyward Sword, they've set a release date on it (I just hope it's not delayed), November 20th this year.

It's pretty similar, if you can't get your hands on an original copy of Majora's Mask, you should get it on the virtual console. Great game, I have the gold cartridge of it.

Haven't played it but I was a big fan of Ocarina of Time. I have heard it's much a like. Oooh, the good old times.

Well, if you look up "Oni" on Wikipedia you'll find it describes a creature which is basically a demon: "fierce deity" is just turning that into a crossword clue version of itself (honestly, if you saw "Fierce deity (5)" your guesses would be "demon" or "devil"). I'm kind of guessing they went with the vague translation on purpose to avoid parents getting upset with Link putting on the demon mask to become really powerful, but that's what he's doing here.

I've noticed that the Japanese version of "demon" (or rather, what we decided to translate as demon) seems rather different from the demons described in the Bible…

A good point, but one thing I have heard about Japanese is that one word has multiple translations, which is why it's such a problem trying to translate games into English. So, even those translations might be exactly the most accurate. Still, Majora's Mask does have plenty of problems in the spiritual department, as this reivew acknowledges.
