==Transformation==
==Transformation==
Link obtains the Fierce Deity's Mask after he trades the twenty non-transforming masks to the four [[Moon Child]]ren [[Moon Dungeons|Inside the Moon]]. The final child sitting by the [[tree]] will give Link the Fierce Deity's Mask after noticing all his other masks are gone.<ref>{{Cite|You don't have any masks left, do you? Well, let's do something else.|Moon Child|MM}}</ref> Wearing this mask enables Link to transform into the Fierce Deity only during boss battles.<ref>{{Cite|Fierce Deity's Mask - Wear it with (C).

In {{MM3D}}, Link can also transform into the Fierce Deity inside the two [[Fishing Hole]]s. If he attempts to leave when in Fierce Deity form, the [[Fishing Hole Man]] will keep the young hero from doing so, wondering how he got in there in the first place.<ref>{{Cite|Hey. Hey! What's with that scary face, fella? If ya leave here lookin' like that, you'll scare away potential customers and ruin our reputation! ...Wait. Hold up.

==Abilities==
In the Fierce Deity form, Link gains greater strength and range in his attacks as well as certain new abilities. Because the Fierce Deity wields a large, [[Fierce Deity Sword#Majora's Mask|double-handed, helix-edged Sword]], he cannot use a [[Shield]], although this disadvantage is compensated for by the Sword's superior power. Link can also use the Sword to release [[Sword Beam]]s while [[targeting]] an enemy.

In the {{MM|Himekawa}}, Link receives the Fierce Deity's Mask from [[Majora's Mask (Item)|Majora]] and becomes Fierce Deity Link during his fight against it. In a flashback of Majora, it is revealed that while as a dragon, a mysterious man bearing a strong resemblance to the Fierce Deity in both appearance and clothing, had visited Majora. The man played music for the dragon, who danced for three days and three nights before dying. The man then carved the Majora's Mask from the creature's hide, hoping to seal its power. It is hinted in the story that the stranger is in fact a god, the first being that is able to overcome the beast of Majora, and that it does so with music that controls the flow of time.

*In {{TFH}}, the [[Fierce Deity Armor]] appears as an [[Outfit]]. It doubles the damage of the Sword, allows Link to shoot four Sword Beams, and reduces knockback from enemies.

*The Fierce Deity form is popularly referred to as "{{wp|Oni (folklore)|Oni}} Link" within {{TLoZ|Series}} community. This is based on an incomplete translation of his Japanese name that incorporates the kanji for "fierce" (''Ki''), which can be read alone as {{Romanize|鬼|Oni}}.<!--This is just an incomplete translation of "Fierce Deity", as the kanji used for "Fierce" is the Kanji for "Oni".-->
*The Fierce Deity is the representation of the feelings of all people populating the land of [[Termina]]. This representation is reinforced by the fact that it was necessary to exchange all the masks obtained thanks to the different interactions, actions and help provided to the characters of the game in order to obtain the Fierce Deity's Mask. Its own mask is said to be equally dangerous as [[Majora's Mask (Item)|Majora's Mask]].
*The [[Link#Ocarina of Time|adult Link]] voice from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', is reused for Fierce Deity Link in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' and ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]''.
*In the Japanese version, the moon child's mention of "{{Romanize|オニごっこ|Oni gokko|good guys against bad guys|2}}" and the name "{{Romanize|鬼神|Kishin|Fierce Deity|2}}" are overlapped with the letter "{{Romanize|鬼/オニ|oni}}" <ref>{{Cite|オニごっこ・・・か、いいな そうだ、それがいい いいか・・・オマエが オニだ オニは 逃げるだけだ それでも いいよな|Moon Child|MM}}</ref> <ref>{{Cite|オニが かぶる オニのお面? (C)でかぶってみよう|N/A|MM}}</ref>.

*Although there is no official height from Nintendo, due to Fierce Deity's very tall height over most other adult characters and has trouble entering buildings (and it is possible to get actually stuck inside), he appears to be over 7 feet tall, likely the same as [[Ganondorf]].


==Nomenclature==
==Nomenclature==
The term "fierce deity," {{Romanize|鬼神|Kishin||3}}, is used to refer to several deities in the Shingon Buddhist pantheon, such as Bishamonten or the Myō-ō, who are fierce and wrathful toward the negative forces that work against humanity's enlightenment, but are benevolent and supportive of humanity. They are seen as deities that work to defeat evil, a quality which the Fierce Deity's Mask gives Link greater ability to achieve.
