Happy Mask Salesman on the Majora's Mask:
 * "It is an accursed item from legend that is said to have been used by an ancient tribe in its hexing rituals... According to legend, the troubles caused by Majora's Mask were so great, the ancient ones sealed the mask in shadow forever... But now that tribe from legend has vanished ."

I believe the Happy Mask Salesman is lying to cover up past abuses of power of previous Mask Salesmen with the Majora's Mask.

In the quote he uses particular words: "said to have been", both unsure and unconfirmed, and he distinguishes from "ancient tribe" and "ancient ones", the latter of which is more collective.

This draws back to the Hyrulean Civil War, the war that went on before Ocarina of Time. Perhaps the Majora's Mask was used in the war, introduced by the Mask Salesman, or the tribe the original Mask Salesman came from, in order to ensure victory on the side of its user.

The Sheikah are absent from both Ikana Canyon in Majora's Mask, and Kakariko Village in Ocarina of Time, of which I believe there is much more than just a surface connection. And since Twilight Princess incorporates the land of Hyrule seen in Ocarina of Time, as opposed to Majora's Mask, the Majora's Mask and the Fused Shadow could be parallels of each other - created by the tribes absent from both of the games, the Shiekah.
