Several masks appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (series)|The Legend of Zelda series]]''. ==All Night Mask== The '''All Night Mask''' allows its wearer to stay awake. The missed sleep won't even have to be caught up on when the mask is taken off. According to a Gossip Stone in [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]], the mask was initially created as a torture device, keeping its wearer from falling asleep. Ironically, Link can still be in insomnia even without the mask (such as in the rest of the Zelda series, particularly those with a day/night feature). *''Appears in: [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' ==Blast Mask== This is the reward for helping the old lady from the bomb shop after she's been robbed. The '''Blast Mask''' is in fact a bomb one can place on his or her face. As such, Link will receive damage if he uses it. But since every time Link goes back in time he loses his bombs, this mask is a useful alternative if he's short on bombs. It explodes only when Link wants to, but makes him unable to use his sword. A small bug allows Link to use the mask without damaging himself if he has any shield up when detonating it. *''Appears in: [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' ==Bremen Mask== The '''Bremen Mask''' allows Link to play a melody on a flute that apparently comes with the mask (possibly similar to how his ocarina changes into another instrument if wearing one of the transformation masks). By doing so, Link can make certain creatures follow him or dance. The mask appears to be a reference to two fairy tales, both involving music: ''[[wikipedia:Town Musicians of Bremen|Town Musicians of Bremen]]'' and ''[[wikipedia:The Pied Piper of Hamelin|The Pied Piper of Hamelin]]''. *''Appears in: [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' ==Bunny Hood== [[File:Bunnyhood.jpg|70px|thumb|right|Screenshot of a Bunny Hood in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'']] The '''Bunny Hood''' is a clothing item in several [[Nintendo]] video games. Its first appearance was in the ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'' in [[1998]], in which the main character, [[Link]], can wear it to stimulate unusual responses from the [[Non-player character|NPC]]s and participate in a trading sequence. It also has the curious side effect of stopping [[Stalchild]]ren from appearing in Hyrule Field, when worn at night. The Bunny Hood made a comeback in ''Majora's Mask''. In this particular game, wearing the Bunny Hood increases Link's agility, allowing him to run 1.5 times faster than normal. The hood has also made an appearance in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', where the player can pick up the item in battle to be able to jump higher, run faster, and fall faster. However, this can be a hazard on small levels during gameplay. A Bunny Hood can be purchased for the player to wear in the [[Nintendo DS]] game ''[[Animal Crossing: Wild World]]''. However, the hood differs in appearance. The hood covers much of the player's head and is white in color, with short rigid ears. Therefore, this may not be a direct reference. *''Appears in: [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]] and [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' ==Captain's Hat== As a reward for keeping up with and beating him, [[Captain Keeta]] gives Link the '''Captain's Hat'''. The Stalchildren will think Link is their captain if he wears it, allowing Link to command and talk with them. If wearing it during the fight with [[Igos du Ikana]], he'll also temporarily think that Link is Captain Keeta. It's also one of the three masks that can make the inhabitants of Ikana Castle dance. *''Appears in: [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' ==Circus Leader Mask== A reward from Gorman for reminding him of better times and that they will come back. The '''Circus Leader Mask''' cries when worn and will make Gorman's brothers cry as well if they see it. It's quite useless, as it will only help make one sidequest easy that you already have had to do to obtain this mask. *''Appears in: [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' ==Couple's Mask== The '''Couple's Mask''' is a traditional mask in [[Clock Town]]. When two people are about to get married, they each make a mask: the '''Mask of the Sun''' and the '''Mask of the Moon'''. When they marry, the masks are fused and become the Couple's Mask and kept by the newly weds as a sign of their love for each other. In Link's case, it was given to him for helping two people overcome the obstacles and finally get married. *''Appears in: [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' ==Deku Mask== The '''Deku Mask''' appears only in ''Majora's Mask''. When Link follows the [[Skull Kid]] after he stole Epona, the Skull Kid transforms Link in a [[Deku Scrub]]. Link is forced to be like that for the first three day cycle. After that, he acquires the [[Ocarina of Time]] and learns the [[Songs in The Legend of Zelda series#Song of Healing|Song of Healing]]. The curse is broken and Link turns back to normal, but now in the possession of the Deku Mask. It is the first mask Link receives. With it, Link can change at will into a Deku Scrub. In that form, he's weak against fire and receives more damage from a fall. Using Deku Flowers, he can fly for a short period of time, similar to how [[Makar]] flies in [[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]. He's also able to shoot bubbles from his mouth at the cost of a bit of magic. Lastly, in Deku form, Link will hop on water five times and drown if he doesn't get on land after the fifth hop. The statue that can be created from Link in Deku form by using the [[Elegy of Emptiness]] is usually too light to hold down a switch. It should also be noted that [[Gibdo]]s and [[Redead]]s don't attack Deku Link. The mask makes Link's ocarina turn into a set of pipes. Unlike the [[Goron Mask]] and [[Zora Mask]], it is never explicitly stated who's spirit is the basis for the Deku Mask. If at all, since it could just be a curse. However, the process of obtaining the mask (through the Song of Healing) is not different from that of the other two masks. It is suggested that the spirit inhabiting the mask is the [[Deku Butler's son]]. The latter remarks to Deku Link how much he reminds him of his son who disappeared. He can also be seen crying at the end of the game near a twisted tree that somewhat looks like a Deku Scrub. This tree is located near the spot where Link was transformed by the Skull Kid. [[Tatl]]'s remark about the tree is that it looks like Link in his Deku form. *''Appears in: [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' ==Doggie Mask== Obtained as an item in a trading sequence, the '''Doggie Mask''' is acquired from the Happy Mask Salesman. It is a mask made by the Happy Mask Salesman. After Link gives the Happy Mask Salesman the Tasty Meat to satisfy his hunger he gives him the Doggie Mask in exchange. The mask is later given to Mamamu Yan in her house in Lynna City to help her shy dog. In exchange Link is given a Dumbbell. This is part of the quest for the Noble Sword. ''Appears in: The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages'' ==Don Gero's Mask== The '''Don Gero's Mask''' is Link's reward for helping a [[Goron]]. By wearing it, he can talk with the [[frogs]] located around in Termina. Because Link looks like their leader, Don Gero, the frogs think it's time for them to sing in honour of spring again and that Don Gero has come to tell them. The mask looks like an actual frog sitting on Link's head, who covers Link's eyes with its feet. *''Appears in: [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' ==Fierce Deity Mask== The '''Fierce Deity Mask''' appears only in ''Majora's Mask''. It is said that the spirit of a dark and powerful warrior, supposedly Majora's archenemy (possibly the Fierce Deity before losing his body to his mask form had a relationship with Majora similar to the one between Ganon and Link), was sealed inside this mask. The Fierce Deity Mask is only obtained when the player has been able to collect every other mask in the game and gives them all away to the Moon Dungeon Children. After all of the masks are given away and the only child left is the child wearing the [[Majora's Mask]], the child asks Link to play with them in a game of "Good Guys vs Bad Guys" and then gives Link the Fierce Deity's Mask (saying that Link will play the bad guy). This mask allows Link to become [[Fierce Deity Link]]. However, this mask can only be worn during boss battles. *''Appears in: [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' ==Garo's Mask== By winning a race against the Gorman Bros., Link gets the '''Garo's Mask'''. It is needed to enter [[Termina#Eastern Canyon|Ikana Canyon]]. Once there, [[Enemies in The Legend of Zelda series#Garo|Garos]] will appear on certain locations if Link wears this mask, giving a few clues once defeated. It's also one of the three masks that can make the inhabitants of Ikana Castle dance. *''Appears in: [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' ==Gerudo Mask== The only race mask that doesn't return in ''Majora's Mask'' is the '''Gerudo Mask'''. It can only be used to get different reactions from people, some being interesting as they hint to who might be related to the [[Gerudo]]s. *''Appears in: [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' ==Giant's Mask== A handy and useless item at the same time, the '''Giant's Mask''' can be found in [[Termina#Eastern Canyon|Stone Tower]]. It allows Link to become a giant and makes the fight against [[Twinmold]] (who happens to be two giant snakelike beings) a lot easier. However, that's the only time Link can use it. *''Appear in: [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' ==Gibdo Mask== Gotten in a similar way as the transformation masks and probably only not one itself because no one died for it. Link obtains the '''Gibdo Mask''' after playing the [[Song of Healing]] for Pamela's father, who has turned into a half-[[Gibdo]] due to his long stay in [[Termina#Eastern Canyon|Ikana Canyon]]. It allows Link to talk with the Gibdos, who then think he's one of them. It is necessary to get the [[Mirror Shield]]. It's also one of the three masks that can make the inhabitants of Ikana Castle dance. *''Appears in: [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' ==Goron Mask== The '''Goron Mask''' appears in ''Ocarina of Time''. It becomes available when the player manages to sell all of the masks for the [[Happy Mask Salesman]]. In this game it doesn't have any specific purpose other than to get differing reactions from characters. The Goron Mask makes a return appearance in ''Majora's Mask'', this time with a much bigger role. The player acquires the Goron Mask after Link plays the [[Song of Healing]] for the deceased [[Goron]] ghost, [[Darmani]]. Containing Darmani's spirit, it transforms Link into a Goron (more specifically, Darmani, though part of his appearance is still Link's) when he wears it. In the Goron form, Link has strong punches and a ground-pound move. He also has the ability to roll up in a ball and roll to move faster. Also, while rolling, if the player has magic, Goron Link grows spikes and moves much faster, doing more damage to enemies as he does. But he can't swim and receives more damage from a fall. It should also be noted that [[Gibdo]]s and [[Redead]]s don't attack Goron Link. The mask makes Link's ocarina turn into a set of five drums. *''Appears in: [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]] and [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' ==Great Fairy Mask== The '''Great Fairy Mask''' is the second gift Link receives from the [[Great Fairy of Magic]]. It has the ability to detect and attract [[Stray Fairy|Stray Fairies]], making searching for them a lot easier. If Link is in a room with a Stray Fairy in it, the "hair"-part of the mask will start to move and sparkle and act as a magnet for Stray Fairies. *''Appears in: [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' ==Hawkeye== The '''Hawkeye''' appears only in ''Twilight Princess''. This mask can be purchased from the Malo Mart in [[Kakariko Village]] after completing a test of the player's archery skill. Once it is equipped, it allows the user to zoom in similarly to the [[Telescope]] in ''The Wind Waker''. Similar to bombs, it can be combined with the [[Hero's Bow]] to create a scope for more accurate shooting. Interestingly, when equipping the scoped bow on the Wii version of the game, aiming reverts to the less accurate control stick aiming as opposed to the Wii remote aiming the game was designed for. The mask is not worn like masks in other games, because Link cannot move while using it, and with no third person camera it is impossible to see Link wearing it. *''Appears in: [[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' ==Hero's Charm== [[File:HerosCharm.jpg|100px|thumb|right|Image of Hero's Charm from ''The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker'']] The '''Hero's Charm''' appears only in ''The Wind Waker''. This mystical mask was given to Link by [[Mrs. Marie]] after he gave at least 41 [[Joy Pendant]]s to her. Once it is equipped, it shows a bar above an enemy or boss showing how much damage is needed to slay the monster. *''Appears in: [[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' ==Kafei's Mask== The '''Kafei's Mask''' resembles [[Kafei]] and was in the possession of his mother who gave it to Link so he could find Kafei because she thinks that Link is a private investigator. Link uses this mask to inquire the townspeople of the whereabouts of the missing son (and boyfriend to Anju) and recognize him if Link happens to meet him. At the end of the trading sequence between Anju and Kafei when you speak with the Curiosity Shop owner and he tells you where Kafei has gone to he also gives you a mask (for the first time speaking) and a letter from Kafei to his mother (Mama). After taking this letter to her she knows that Kafei is alright and gives you a bottle of Chataeu Milk, the most expensive milk from Romani Ranch. *''Appears in: [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' ==Kamaro's Mask== Link can find Kamaro dancing at night in [[Termina#Termina Field|Termina Field]]. In return for finding Kamaro a pupil to pass his dancing skills onto, Link receives the '''Kamaro's Mask'''. It covers Link's entire face, making it look like he hasn't got one, and at the top has Kamaro's head. By wearing it, Link can perform Kamaro's final dance while the accompanying music is strangely played in the background. *''Appears in: [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' ==Keaton Mask== [[File:KeatonMask.jpg|108px|thumb|right|Image of the Keaton Mask from ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.'']] The '''Keaton Mask''' first appeared in ''Ocarina of Time''. Supposedly, it was a very popular mask a few years before the events of ''Ocarina of Time''. Link is asked by the [[Happy Mask Salesman]] to sell it for him. Apparently, though not a hit anymore, the mask is still popular among kids. In ''Majora's Mask'' it could be used to summon a [[Keaton]]. They saw Link wasn't one of them, but were intrigued by the mask. Therefore, they allowed him to prove he was no less than them by asking for the answers of their questions. *''Appears in: [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]] and [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' ==Majora's Mask== [[File:Majoras Mask.jpg|100px|thumb|right|Image of Majora's Mask from ''The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.'']] {{main|Majora's Mask (item)}} Though it is not exactly an item to be collected, Majora's Mask is still the main focus of the game of the same title. The '''Majora's Mask''' contained the spirit of an ancient demon, [[Majora]], and was created by a tribe to be used in their hexing rituals. However, the tribe feared its destructive powers and thus hid it away. The tribe vanished over time and the mask was apparently found again. It came in the possession of the [[Happy Mask Salesman]] who took it away to keep it safe from falling into the wrong hands. Unfortunately the [[Skull Kid]] stole the mask and was possessed. T he Happy Mask Salesman runs into Link and asks him to retrieve the Majora's Mask before great harm is done. The mask has the ability to take over the person who wears it. It was used by the Skull Kid to cause great mischief (or more likely, the mask used him) until at last Link foiled Majora's plans and the mask left its host to continue its quest for world destruction. It became the final boss and once Link defeated it, the evil was purged and the mask was purified and reobtained by the Happy Mask Salesman. *''Appears in: [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' ==Mask of Truth== The first appearance of the '''Mask of Truth''' was in the ''Ocarina of Time''. In this game, Link can wear the mask after selling all of the other masks. This allows him to read the minds of [[Non-player character|NPC]]s and talk to Gossip Stones, revealing interesting trivia, hints, and secrets. The mask returned in ''Majora's Mask'', serving much the same purpose. However, this time, it also came with the ability to talk to animals. *''Appears in: [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]] and [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' ==Mask of Scents== The '''Mask of Scents''' is the prize for winning a race against the [[Deku Butler]]. It allows Link to find mushrooms in the [[Termina#Southern Swamp|Woods of Mystery]]. *''Appears in: [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' ==Odolwa's, Goht's, Gyorg's and Twinmold's Remains== These are the '''Remains of the Four Bosses''' from ''Majora's Mask'': [[Odolwa]], [[Goht]], [[Gyorg]] and [[Twinmold]]. These Dark Masks contained the demon spirits of the bosses that kept the [[Four Giants]] of Termina at bay and contained their spirits within the four bosses. Once all of the bosses are defeated, Link can summon the Four Giants after midnight of the third day to stop the moon from falling. When the moon is stopped from falling, Link enters it and finds a meadow where he meets five children, four of which are wearing the remains of the bosses. The player has the option of giving their masks to the children in exchange for visiting their dungeons and receive a Heart Piece and the [[Fierce Deity Mask]] (if given away all masks). During the boss-fight, the four masks that are the remains of the bosses fly from Link and attach themselves to the walls around the room until the player is able to significantly damage Majora's Mask during the first phase of the fight. Once this happens, the masks then detach from the wall and fly around the room, all the while shooting lasers at Link and charging into him. These masks can be easily defeated if the player chooses to do so. *''Appear in: [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' ==Postman's Hat== The ''Postman's Hat'' had long been the proud possession of the postman of [[Termina#Clock Town|Clock Town]]. Being part of his uniform and therefore work, the postman took great care of it. When Link helped him fulfill his final task and free him of his duty, this mask was the reward he received. It allows Link to check mailboxes. *''Appears in: [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' ==Romani Mask== After helping the owners of [[Termina#Romani Ranch|Romani Ranch]], Link gets the '''Romani Mask'''. It's proof that the wearer is a member of the Milk Bar (and therefore an "adult"), allowing that person to enter the [[Termina#Clock Town|Milk Bar]] at night as well. It is needed for several sidequests. *''Appear in: [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' ==Skull Mask== In his quest to help the [[Happy Mask Salesman]] sell masks, the '''Skull Mask''' is the second mask Link obtains. It looks like a horned skull and will scare most people. *''Appears in: [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' ==Spooky Mask== The '''Spooky Mask''' looks exactly like the masks worn by [[Redead]]s. It might actually be one, in which case it is carved out of a coffin. The Spooky Mask is part of the mask trading sequence. *''Appears in: [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' ==Stone Mask== It is a gift from [[Shiro]] for being the only one that notices him. If Link wears the '''Stone Mask''', some enemies will not see him and thus not attack him. While not mandatory, it allows Link to more easily maneuver around the Gerudo's Hideout. Without it, Link must avoid being seen by every Gerudo, lest he be caught and imprisoned. Interestingly Link can still be seen by the Super-Gerudos while wearing the Stone Mask. *''Appear in: [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' ==Zora Mask== The '''Zora Mask''' appears in ''Ocarina of Time'' after the player sells all masks for the [[Happy Mask Salesman]]. The Zora Mask in ''Ocarina of Time'' has no further use then to offer differing reactions from characters. The Zora Mask also appears in ''Majora's Mask'' but plays a much bigger role. In this game, Link receives the Zora Mask after playing the [[Song of Healing]] for the dying [[Mikau]]. The Zora Mask contains Mikau's spirit and by donning this mask Link can transform into a [[Zora]]. In this form, Link has much greater swimming efficiency, the ability to breathe and walk underwater and can attack with kicks, punches and the fins on his arms, which work a little like a [[Boomerang]]. Also, by using magic, Zora Link can generate electricity as both an attack and defense against enemies. However, he's weak against ice and fire. The mask makes Link's ocarina turn into a guitar. *''Appears in: [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]] and [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' [[Category:Zelda lore]]
