| There is one known as the '''Skull Kid'''. He is the name of the notable member of the Skull Kids. He first appeared in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' as a recurring character, then reappear as the main antagonist of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', in which he first got a backstory, and as a sage in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. Sometimes, the Skull Kid's designs and appearance change everytime.
| |
|
| |
| After being introduced in ''Ocarina of Time'', the Skull Kid's character has seen much development throughout the series, from being a simple recurring character who plays the flute to a more considered character with motives of his actions who is also potrayed to be a lonely person. The Skull Kid's roles in the ''Zelda'' series change various times. Throughout the series, the Skull Kid is everytime seen with different appearances and designs.

|
| |
| Out of the Skull Kids, this single notable Skull Kid was given a title to identify him by the people of [[Termina]] and the [[Four Giants]], such as the '''{{Exp|小さな小鬼 (''Chīsana saki'')|Small Imp}}''' or simply the '''{{Exp|インプ (''Inpu'')|Imp}}''' in ''Majora's Mask'', due to the times he played pranks on people several years ago.

| ==Common attributes of the Skull Kid==
| |
| ===Background===
| |
| [[File:FourGiantStory.png|thumb|left|The Four Giants' departure from Termina]]
| |
| The Skull Kid was first given a back story in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' that supposely toke place some hundreds of years before his appearance in the [[Lost Woods]] from ''Ocarina of Time''. Long ago the people of Termina lived in a single world, united and blessed by the four giants living among them.<ref>{{cite|This tale's from long ago when all the people weren't separated into four worlds like they are now. In those times all the people lived together, and the four giants lived among them.|Anju's Grandmother|Majora's Mask}}</ref> It was during this time that the giants befriended a small imp, who was the Skull Kid. However, there came a time when the Four Giants decided to guard and protect the people while dormant. With the world of Termina now split into four parts by the order of the Four Giants, each of the giants took one hundred steps towards their respective regions, telling their people that if trouble should befall them, they should [[Oath to Order|call them]] in a loud voice declaring their predicament.<ref>{{cite|[T]he giants spoke to the people...100 steps north, 100 steps south, 100 steps east, 100 steps west. If you have need, call us in a loud voice declaring something such as, "The mountain blizzard has trapped us."|Anju's Grandmother|Majora's Mask}}</ref> This way, their pleads would carry to them, and the Four Giants would come to their aid.<ref>{{cite|"Your cries shall carry to us..."|Anju's Grandmother|Majora's Mask}}</ref>
| |
|
| |
| However, the small imp, who had been friends with the giants even before they created the four worlds, became greatly afflicted with their decision and was woefully stricken by their departure.<ref>{{cite|Now then... There was one who was shocked and saddened by all this. A little imp. The imp was a friend of the giants since before they had created the four worlds.|Anju's Grandmother|Majora's Mask}}</ref> The imp misinterpreted the giants' actions, and, feeling neglected and lonely, he began to spread his anger and frustration throughout all of Termina.<ref>{{cite|The childhood friend felt neglected, so he spread his anger across the four worlds. Repeatedly, he wronged all people.|Anju's Grandmother|Majora's Mask}}</ref> Devastated with misery due to the imp's malicious tricks, the people pleaded to the giants for their aid. Angered, the Four Giants, who were still the protectors of the people, ordered the imp to leave the four worlds and return to the heavens; otherwise, the imp would be destroyed by the might of the giants.<ref>{{cite|Overwhelmed with misfortune, the people sang the song of prayer to the giants who lived in each of the four compass directions.|Anju's Grandmother|Majora's Mask}}</ref><ref>{{cite|The giants heard their cry and responded with a roar. "You have caused the people pain. Oh, imp, leave these four worlds! Otherwise, we shall tear you apart!"|Anju's Grandmother|Majora's Mask}}</ref> Frightened and surprised by his friends' reaction, the imp left the lands for the heavens, and peace and tranquility returned to Termina.<ref>{{cite|The imp returned to the heavens, and harmony was restored to the four worlds.|Anju's Grandmother|Majora's Mask}}</ref>
| |
|
| |
| For reasons unknown, the imp managed to fall from heaven and landed on the earth, and eventually was found in the [[Lost Woods]] of Hyrule and live there with two children of his kind and befriended a [[Link|boy with a fairy]]. Several months later after the events of ''Ocarina of Time'' in the Child Timeline, the imp returned to the world of Termina.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nzsj/normal/newworld/index.html |title=新しい「ゼルダ」の世界 |work=www.nintendo.co.jp |publisher=Nintendo Co., Ltd. |accessdate=10 June 2010 |quote=舞台は、前作『時のオカリナ』での活躍から数ヶ月後の世界。 / The stage is the world a few months after the exploits of the previous work "Ocarina of Time".}}</ref> He was found shivering under a log and was befriend by two fairies. The little imp began to show his mischievous side again, and the two fairies decided to follow through it. They went to the Lost Woods and the imp obtained [[Majora's Mask (Object)|Majora's Mask]] from the [[Happy Mask Salesman]], just until he found a friend he befriended months ago. Overtaken by its tremendous power, the mask began to take complete control of the imp, and using him as a puppet, he pulled the [[moon]] from its orbit and destined it to crash into [[Clock Town]] in order to destroy all of Termina.

| ===Personality===
| |
| The Skull Kids are known to like playing musics with their flutes, if Link plays with the Skull Kids of the music session, they shall give him a [[Heart Piece]] and the other one will give him another one if Link plays "Saria's Song" in a different place of Lost Woods. The Skull Kids hate adults and will attack Adult Link by shooting poison needles from his flute. The notable Skull Kid is portrayed in ''Majora's Mask'' as lonely, and always wanted to have friends, before tricking and stealing [[Majora's Mask (Object)|Majora's Mask]] from the [[Happy Mask Salesman]], and sooner being possessed by its dark power by wearing it. When he obtains the Majora's Mask, Skull Kid's personality has sightly changed into that of a cruel, insane, omnicidal monster, and wants to destroy the whole world with the [[Moon]]. In ''Twilight Princess'', the Skull Kid is now the owner of the [[Sacred Grove]], and is known to like challenging his friend Link's descendant until he wins, despite he is already an adult (a teenager).

|
| ===Abilities===
| | The '''Hero of Legend''' is the title given to the [[Link]] who appears in {{ALttP}}, {{LA}}, {{OoS}} and {{OoA}}. Link was given this title as he is the last descendant of the [[Hero of Time]] and the valiant [[Hylian Knight]]s, family of the [[Hylia's Chosen Hero|Legendary Hero]], as it is he who can fulfill the prophecy of the [[Great Cataclysm]].<ref>{{Cite|The Whirling Blade technique has been handed down from generation to generation by the family of the hero.|Secrets Of The Whirling Blade|LA}}</ref><ref>{{Cite Book|quote=The Knights of Hyrule are a clan that protect the Royal Family, their members descended from the Hero who governed the Crest of Courage. Legend has it that the Hero will one day reappear within their ranks.|book= HH|publisher=Dark Horse Comics|page=93}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|I heard that the Knights Of Hyrule were nearly wiped out in that battle... You are perhaps the last one to carry on the blood-line of the Knights... It is ironic that the last one in the line has the potential to become the Hero of legend.|Maiden in Village of Outcasts|ALttP}}</ref> |
| The Skull Kid is also a formidable sorcerer. The Majora's Mask, a dark cursed mask from an Ancient Tribe, made the Skull Kid stronger, granting him powers such as transvection, teleportation, and superhuman strength. The mask grants him the power to curse the entire land of Termina, summon a giant Moon, turn people into creatures, and influence anyone who wears it. Further, the Majora's Mask grants him immortality. In ''Twilight Princess'', the Skull Kid has no more fighting skills, he blows through his horn to summon a number of wooden puppets from an infinite supply to attack Link. But, he still has his superhuman strength and his immortality, as he is able to shake the earth by heavily stomping the ground and couldn't be seemingly killed no more especially by the [[Master Sword]] like in ''Ocarina of Time'' like the other Skull Kids. He can also disappear and reappear in a small gust of leaves at will. | |

| In ''Ocarina of Time'', three Skull Kids live in the Lost Woods; one in the area directly to the left of the entrance room where the notable one who Link must teach him a song and befriend him, and two Skull Kids in the area directly to the right of the entrance, where there is a mini-game in which Link repeats a sequence of notes on his ocarina to win a Piece of Heart. the Skull Kid can be found in the [[Lost Woods]], in the area directly to the left of the entrance room. Whenever Link approaches him, the Skull Kid will disappear from the area. To circumvent this, Link can befriend the Skull Kid by playing [[Saria's Song]] while standing on top of the [[Tree#Tree Stump|stump]] across from the Skull Kid's position, and he will receive a [[Heart Container#Piece of Heart|Piece of Heart]] as a gift.<ref>{{cite|You know Saria's Song!

| While [[Targeting System|Z-Targeting]], [[Navi]] mentions that the Skull Kid seems unhappy to have no face.<ref>{{cite|Skull Kid - Is this what happens to kids who get lost in this forest?

Speaking of weird faces, one of the forest kids was complaining about his face....|[[Kokiri]] (while wearing the Skull Mask)|Ocarina of Time}}</ref> Upon first seeing Link wearing the [[Skull Mask]], the Skull Kid comments that he would like it to make him appear a little tougher.<ref>{{cite|Quite an unusual mask you have there.

Hey, why don't you give it to me?|Skull Kid|Ocarina of Time}}</ref> Link is able to sell him the mask as part of the [[Mask Trading Sequence]], but the Skull Kid pays just ten [[Rupee|rupees]] when the wholesale price is twenty, leaving Link to cover the difference.<ref>{{cite|He just gave you 10 Rupees for this 20-Rupee mask!

|
| |
| If Link encounters s Skull Kid as an adult seven years later in the Adult Timeline, he will be attacked with poison needles shot from the Skull Kid's flute as he dislikes adults. If Adult Link kills him, the Skull Kid will collapse and disappear, leaving behind an orange Rupee. But he will come back as soon Link leaves the entrance room, which is the same for all Skull Kids.

| The Child Timeline is the timeline that follows Link after being sent back to his original time to warn Princess Zelda, following the defeat of Ganondorf by the Hero of Time in the final battle. This turn of events created the timeline containing ''Majora's Mask'', ''Twilight Princess'', and ''Four Swords Adventures''.

| Sometime prior to the events in ''Ocarina of Time'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', the Skull Kid was befriended by the [[Four Giants]].<ref>{{cite|You guys...

Overwhelmed with misfortune, the people sang the song of prayer to the giants who lived in each of the four compass directions. The giants heard their cry and responded with a roar. "Oh, imp. Oh, imp. We are the protectors of the people. You have caused the people pain. Oh, imp, leave these four worlds! Otherwise, we shall tear you apart!" The imp was frightened and saddened. He had lost his old friends. The imp returned to the heavens, and harmony was restored to the four worlds. And the people rejoiced and they worshiped the giants of the four worlds like gods.

| Some time after, Skull Kid met with [[Tatl]] and [[Tael]] and stole [[Majora's Mask (Object)|Majora's Mask]] from the [[Happy Mask Salesman]]. In the beginning of ''Majora's Mask'', the Skull Kid and his two fairy companions ambush Link and steal the [[Ocarina of Time (Item)|Ocarina of Time]].<ref>{{cite|I wonder if he has anything good on him...|Skull Kid|Majora's Mask}}</ref> Meanwhile, Link regains consciousness and, having noticed the Skull Kid, attempts to sneak up on him. The Skull Kid steals Epona and attempts to escape; Link is able to hang onto the Skull Kid's leg for a short while before falling off. He chases the Skull Kid into the forest, entering a huge tree with a great pit inside, into which he falls.

| | | |era = [[Zelda Timeline#The Era of Shadow|Era of Shadow]] |
| At the bottom of the pit, Link finds the Skull Kid, who informs him that he "got rid of" Epona, as she would not obey his commands. During this confrontation, the Skull Kid transforms Link into a [[Deku Scrub]] and leaves with Tael, except Tatl, who got seperated from them.<ref>{{cite|Hee, hee! Now, that's a good look for you! You'll stay here looking that way forever!|Skull Kid|Majora's Mask}}</ref> At midnight or later, the Skull Kid is encountered by Link and Tatl, who came to see him and Tael to stop him and retrieve the Ocarina of Time. Left with no choice, Link used the Song of Time. Then, he is remained as the main antagonist through most of the game until it is revealed that he is being influenced by Majora's Mask.<ref name="MASK"></ref>

| It was releaved that Skull Kid was still playing the role of prankster with Majora's Mask on his face, such as turning [[Kafei]] into a child<ref>{{cite|I was turned into this by a strange imp wearing a mask...

| [[File:MM End Credits.jpg|thumb|right|Skull Kid's drawing.]]Link eventually gathers the power of the Giants and frees the Skull Kid from the evil influence of Majora's Mask. During the [[New Day|ending credits]], the Four Giants reassure the Skull Kid of their friendship with him, and he tells Link that he remembers befriending him in ''Ocarina of Time''.<ref name=fairykid>{{cite|Eh-hee-hee...You have the same smell as the fairy kid who taught me that song in the woods...|Skull Kid|Majora's Mask}}</ref> The last scene shows a drawing on a tree trunk made by the Skull Kid himself, of Link, the Skull Kid, Tatl, Tael, and the Four Giants. | |

| During the ending sequence in ''Majora's Mask'', the Skull Kid mentions to Link that he has the same smell as the "fairy kid" who taught him a [[Saria's Song|song]] in the [[Lost Woods]].<ref name=fairykid></ref> This reveals that the Skull Kid is the one by the tree stump near the bridge in the [[Lost Woods]] in ''Ocarina of Time'', to whom the young hero sells the [[Skull Mask]]. This would be congruous with his apparent fondness for [[Majora's Mask (Object)|intimidating-looking masks]].

| |
| [[File:Skully2.jpg|thumb|left|Skull Kid in ''Twilight Princess'']]
| |
| A century later, the Skull Kid is the guardian of the [[Sacred Grove]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. He leads the descendant of the Hero of Time and the Twilight Princess [[Midna]] through the Lost Woods portion of the Sacred Grove until he reaches the resting place of the [[Master Sword]] after being summoned by [[Wolf Link]] by howling [[Zelda's Lullaby]]. Along the way, the Skull Kid plays a cruel game of hide-and-seek with Link, and Link must find him several times before he will lead him to where he needs to be. However, two factors give away his location: the light of his lantern and the sound of his instrument playing [[Saria's Song]]. Although the Skull Kid never physically attacks Link, he will summon [[Puppet]]s to do the job. Every time he is hit in battle, he will summon more puppets, but he can be beaten quickly with the bow and arrows. After defeating him the first time, he vanishes.
| |
| | |
| When Link returns to the Sacred Grove area later in the game, the Skull Kid will help him navigate the Lost Woods a second time, this time leading him through different areas to take him to the [[Temple of Time]] dungeon. His hiding spots will be more difficult to find and the hero will also have to shoot arrows from the [[Hero's Bow]] at the Skull Kid. After defeating him the second time, he will tell Link that was fun and vanish.
| |
| | |
| The Skull Kid appears more imp-like in ''Twilight Princess''. One may note that his eyes and face look very similar to those of the [[Moon]] from ''Majora's Mask'', although with a mischievous smile instead of the Moon's trademark scowl. Strangely enough, the horn with which he plays the aforementioned song bears somewhat of a resemblance to [[Deku Link]]'s [[Pipes of Awakening]] both in its appearance and sound. The lantern he carries is also similar to that held by [[Poe]]s.

| |
| The Skull Kid appears in [[Link's Crossbow Training#Stage Finale|Stage Finale]] of ''[[Link's Crossbow Training]]'', which is actually the Sacred Grove. He appears and conjures his [[puppet]] army like in ''Twilight Princess''. The Skull Kid himself will flash green to offer the automatic firing upgrade which is useful for taking down the large number of Puppets that appear. As with ''Twilight Princess'', the Skull Kid will warp to various niches in the surrounding landscape to protect himself.

| The Skull Kids appear as two [[sticker]]s in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. They are useful for the Adventure Mode of the game.

| | |
| ==Theories==
| |
| {{Theory}} | |
| ===Adult Timeline===
| |
| It is possible that in the Adult Timeline during the events of ''Ocarina of Time'', the Skull Kid did not get the chance to steal Majora's Mask, and that Majora's ruining of the lives of the people of Termina never happened in this timeline. Because of Ganondorf's conquest on Hyrule, the Happy Mask Salesman's stayed on Hyrule which made the Skull Kid to never have the opportunity to steal the mask and remained in the Lost Woods with his current designed appearance along with the Skull Kids until the world got flooded. Since the Skull Kids are still immortal, it is unknown whether or not the Skull Kids are still alive somewhere in the surface of the [[Great Sea]] or in the [[New Hyrule]].
| |
| | |
| ====Skull Kids evolved forms====
| |
| After hundreds of years have passed since the Hero of Time defeated Ganondorf and the world got flooded, there are possibilities to have evolved into new beings of the Skull Kids, or back into their original form which may be Hylians, Kokiris or probably humans.
| |
| | |
| ===The Hero of Time and his Descendant===
| |
| There is another theory that the Skull Kid and the [[Hero of Time]] are now true friends after being saved from [[Majora]]'s curse. It is a possibility that the Skull Kid would no longer fears him as an adult (or a grown-up teenager) since they became good friends (which could imply to any incarnations of Links). Before the Hero of Time died (apparently in the [[Lost Woods]]) after the events of ''Majora's Mask'', the Skull Kid was probably entrusted by him to watch over the ruins of the [[Temple of Time]] and his [[Master Sword]]'s resting place in the [[Sacred Grove]] as its sage and to allow [[Link#Twilight Princess|his descendant]] to get the legendary blade so he could become [[Hyrule]]'s new hero in the next hundred years to ease his regrets for leaving his role as the Hero of Time and to leave everything to him while teaching him some [[Hidden Skills]]. Before gaining the Master Sword and going to the Temple of Time, the way to aknowledge the descendant of the Hero of Time as a true gutsy hero and become friends with him, is to play some cruel games of hide-and-seek with the Skull Kid as trials.
| |
| | |
| ===Skull Kids are undead creatures===
| |
| Based on what [[Fado]] told about anybody who are lost in the [[Lost Woods]], it is probable that Skull Kids are some kinds of [[Stalfos]] despite the scarecrow-like appearance which makes them look less of an undead. This may support how the Skull Kids cannot be killed and why they are immortal.
| |
| | |
| ==Trivia== | |
| *It should be noted that the notable Skull Kid was turned into a Skull Kid and remained as a child for long time ago.
| |
| *Skull Kids shares many chracteristics with the [[Flute Boy]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'': both are kids who play music with a flute in the woods and both disappear when Link approaches them. The Flute Boy may have served as a prototype or concept for the Skull Kids.
| |
| *The Skull Kid's instrument in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' resembles a modern version of the [[Ocarina Transformations#Pipes of Awakening|Deku Pipes]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''.
| |
| *Like the Skull Kid in ''Majora's Mask'', [[Kamo]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' developed a fascination with the moon after having been disappointed by [[Linda|his best friend]].
| |
| *In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', the Skull Kid's facial features bear a slight resemblance to that of the [[Moon]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''.

| *In most versions of ''Ocarina of Time'' and the Japanese version of ''Majora's Mask'' (and official artwork), the Skull Kid has a plain black face. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D|Ocarina of Time 3D]]'' and International versions of ''Majora's Mask'', however, Skull Kids' heads have wooden textures.
