Kafei



Games present in: Majora's Mask

Kafei (かぺい Kapei) is a well known young man who lives in Clock Town. He enjoys hanging around at the Milk Bar, and his diary mentions showing off his ceremonial wedding mask to all "the guys" while he is there. He is son of Mayor Dotour and Madame Aroma and is engaged to be married to the innkeeper, Anju.

Unfortunately, just a few days before his wedding (which will take place the same day as the Carnival of Time) the Skull Kid turns him into a child. Kafei quickly seeks out the help of the Great Fairy who lives in North Clock Town, but on the way Sakon, a thief from Ikana Canyon, steals his wedding mask (the Sun Mask).

Kafei promised Anju that he would show up with the mask and, not wanting to break his promise, he goes into hiding at the Curiosity Shop. He disguises himself with a Keaton Mask that the Curiosity Shop owner gave him when he was a child and secretly watches all of the customers of the Curiosity Shop (which sells stolen goods). He his positive that the thief will appear and he will be able to follow him to retrieve his mask.

Kafei is one of twenty characters who has an entry in the Bombers' Notebook.

For information on completing Kafei's entry in the Bombers' Notebook please see the article titled "Reuniting Kafei And Anju"



The Pendant of Memories
The Pendant of Memories is a small charm that Kafei wears around his neck. When Link meets Kafei for the first time, Kafei gives Link the charm and asks him to give it to Anju. Upon receiving it, Anju will promise to wait for Kafei until he returns.

The charm has no real use while in your inventory, but is symbolic of the love Kafei and Anju share.

Sun Mask
The Sun Mask was created by Kafei for use as his ceremonial wedding mask. The mask is stolen by Sakon and is the reason Link and Kafei visit his hideout. You cannot obtain it and it is only seen for a very brief time at the end of the reuniting Kafei and Anju sidequest. Together, the Sun Mask and Moon Mask create the Couple's Mask.

Reuniting Kafei and Anju Sidequest

 * During the quest, you control both Kafei and Link.
 * Kafei has an attack which include stomping with his butt.

Cameos

 * In Animal Crossing for the Nintendo GameCube, Kafei's clothes appear as an item that players can purchase and wear.

Trivia

 * Kafei is one of only two playable character in the Legend of Zelda series that is not Link nor possessed by Link, the other being Gongoron.
 * Kafei could possibly be a Sheikah. The Pendant of Memories slightly resembles the Eye of Sheikahs in design and in addition he has red eyes- a typical mark for Sheikahs.
 * The Treasure Shop lady in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask was originally planned to have a role as Kafei's sister and have a reference to that on her nametag on the counter. It was taken out however due to Anju being chosen as a role searching for him.
 * A similar looking pendant to the Pendant of Memories is found in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. It is worn by Agitha but it has a different coloration.
 * Kafei is believed by some to be Link's double in Termina, despite having quite a different appearance. Kafei is one of the few characters to not have a double in Hyrule, furthering this theory.
 * By being close enough to Kafei on the first day, when he is delivering his letter, it is possible to see through his mask, but as Kafei is constantly moving, it is very hard to see his entire face in one go.
