Mask

Masks are recurring items in.

Ocarina of Time
In, Masks are part of the Mask Trading Sequence. In it, the Happy Mask Salesman of the Happy Mask Shop lends Link a Mask and has him look for a character to sell it to. Link is then tasked to return to the shop to bring back the Rupees used to purchase the mask, sometimes even having to pay out of his own Wallet when the costumer refuses to pay the appropriate amount. Link is continuously given another Mask to sell until the Happy Mask Salesman has no more left to sell. This allows Link to borrow any of the Masks, plus a few additional ones, to wear around Hyrule.

The Masks are only obtainable and usable while Link is a child. Most of the Masks possess no abilities when worn, however, some like the Skull Mask and the Bunny Hood do grant small abilities.

Majora's Mask
In, numerous Masks appear. Some give certain abilities when worn, while others completely transform Link's form.

Oracle of Ages
In, the Doggie Mask is part of the game's Trading Sequence. It is given by the Happy Mask Salesman in exchange for the Tasty Meat. The Mask is then given to Mamamu Yan in Lynna City for her dog. She gives Link the Dumbbell in return.

The Wind Waker
In, the Hero's Charm is a Mask Link can wear to view enemy and bosses' health bars when targeting. It is received after Link gives 40 Joy Pendants to Mrs. Marie in Windfall Island. In, the Hero's Charm is instead located inside a Treasure Chest at the end of the Savage Labyrinth.

Jalhalla, the boss of the Earth Temple, is a mask that boasts control over Poes. Link must defeat the fifteen Poes that make up its body in order to defeat it.

Twilight Princess

 * Main articles: Hawkeye, Fused Shadow, and Zant Mask

In, the Hawkeye is a Mask which, when worn, allows Link to view long distances. It is also compatible with the Hero's Bow, which produces a cross-hair for firing. The Mask can be bought from Malo in Kakariko Village's Malo Mart for 100 Rupees after completing Talo and Malo's Bow minigame.

The Fused Shadow is a type of Mask that possesses immense power. The Mask holds the magical power of the Dark Interlopers, and was used in the Interloper War. By order of the Goddesses, it was sealed away by the Spirits of Light. It was broken and divided into four parts, which Midna tasks Link with finding during the first half of the game. The helmet Midna wears is one part of the Fused Shadow.

The Zant Mask is an enemy that resembles a giant version of Zant's mask helmet. It only appears in the Palace of Twilight.

Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland
In, Tingle receives a Mask for defeating Baron. The origin of this Mask is debated, with a different story told by each Bodyguard, and is immediately sold to that Bodyguard. It has no purpose beyond this financial reward.

Hyrule Warriors Series
In, the Fierce Deity's Mask and the Hawkeye appear as an Attack Badge and an Assist Badge, respectively. The Fierce Deity's Mask Badge grants Warriors an additional Special Attack Gauge. A third gauge is granted by crafting its enhanced Badge. The Hawkeye Badge increases the duration of Bow power-ups. The duration can be further increased by crafting its enhanced Badge.

Several other Masks from Majora's Mask appear as unlockable Costumes in the Termina Map, which are included in the Majora's Mask DLC Pack. A Keaton Mask is also worn by Young Link over his head.

The Mask is also a class of Weapon used by Young Link, based on the Fierce Deity's Mask. It is associated with Darkness. While Young Link primarily uses the Kokiri Sword as his actual Weapon in battle, he can temporarily transform into the Fierce Deity as part of his Weak Point Smash, Special Attack, and predominately his Focus Spirit. While in Focus Spirit, the Kokiri Sword transforms into Fierce Deity's sword, and his attack power, speed and range is heightened for the duration of the Focus Spirit. As Young Link is able to play the to empty his Special Attack Meter and fill his Magic Meter, it is possible for Young Link to stay in his Focus Spirit for lengthy periods of time.

Variations
The default Mask is the Fierce Deity Mask. The second form of the Mask is the Furious Deity Mask, followed by the Vengeful Deity Mask.

In only, the fourth form of the Mask is the Inflamed Deity's Mask, which is associated with both the Elements of Fire and Darkness.

Weak Point Smash
Against Captains and Warriors, Young Link dons the Fierce Deity Mask and becomes the Fierce Deity briefly. He then slashes his enemy rapidly, along with any other enemies caught in the attack. Against Giant Bosses, Young Link transforms into the Fierce Deity as he charges his blade with power, then strikes the boss in an uppercut slash before leaping into the air. He then comes down at the boss, striking his blade into the boss's weak point.

Special Attack
Young Link dons the Fierce Deity's Mask and, after prepping his sword, swings it in a wide Spin Attack. This attack hits a wide range ahead and around Young Link, and carries the Darkness Element.

Focus Spirit
Upon activation, Young Link dons the Fierce Deity's Mask. Its power surges through his body, causing him to scream similarly to the Mask cutscenes in Majora's Mask. Young Link henceforth becomes the Fierce Deity for the duration of the Focus Spirit. During his Focus Spirit Attack, the Fierce Deity holds up his blade as Skull Kid, along with Tatl and Tael, appear dropping the Moon. The Fierce Deity then slashes the Moon in half, causing a powerful blow to the surrounding enemies in the shock wave's wake. When the Focus Spirit Gauge is depleted, the Fierce Deity leans back and performs a Spin Attack, bursting in Darkness energy in the process.
