The Moon Children are among the most mysterious aspects surrounding the surface of the [[Moon (Majora's Mask)|Moon]]. There are five Children, four of which are running around the tree in the center of the field while the fifth sits at the bottom of the tree. The four running children each wear one of the [[Boss Remains|masks that are dropped]] once the [[Bosses in Majora's Mask|boss enemies]] are defeated while the fifth wears [[Majora's Mask (Object)|Majora's Mask]]. The Children are each identical in height, clothing, and hair color, differing only in the mask they wear. Their gender is debatable but their haircut seems to indicate that they are male. | The Moon Children are among the most mysterious aspects surrounding the surface of the [[Moon (Majora's Mask)|Moon]].

The children's behavior is also odd. The four ask for different amounts of masks from [[Link]].<ref>{{cite|Ahhh... Nice weather...Isn't it? Masks...You have...a lot.
