Halfway through the article. Essentially the stone temple was built to wage war against the sacred realm and the goddesses.

interesting observations:

• the 4 is a motif throughout the game, 4 regions, 4 temples, 4 guardians, and 4 giants. You'll see patterns of 4 repeated in the architecture
• stone temple inhabitants worshipped the 4 giants, and eventually majora which would be their undoing
• the 4 motif is also repeated in phallically looking pillars, specifically in the stone temple. This is important as it establishes a masculine vs feminine theme, the 4 giants vs the goddesses
• Majora is a female. Majora's wrath has a female voice and feminity to it. The eyes of the mask are positioned in such a way to resemble breasts. Markings between its legs that could represent ovaries.
• the masculine side was defeated by a female demon
