Template:Item The Skull Mask is a mask appearing in Template:OOT.
Location and Uses
The mask can be obtained from the Happy Mask Shop after paying for the Keaton Mask. As part of the Mask Trading Sequence, the Skull Mask is sold to the Skull Kid in the Lost Woods, who easily sees through Link's disguise and recognizes him.[1] He remarks that it is a strange mask, but that he likes it and thinks it will make him look tougher, before asking Link to sell it to him.[2] However he only pays 10 Rupees for it, 10 less than the mask's actual price, meaning that Link will have to make up for the difference himself.[3] After selling the Skull Mask, Link is able to receive the Spooky Mask from the Happy Mask Shop.
Like other masks in the game, the Skull Mask will solicit different reactions than normal when talking to people. It also has the added effect of preventing Keese from attacking Link while he wears it. The mask is required to obtain a Deku Stick capacity upgrade in the Forest Stage in the Lost Woods. If Link stands in front of the young Deku Scrubs while wearing the Skull Mask, they will swarm around him happily. The elder Deku Scrub will explain that Link resembles their "sacred forest totem," and reward him with the upgrade.[4]
Non-canon Appearances
Ocarina of Time Manga
The Skull Mask also makes an appearance in the Template:Manga, in the bonus story, The Skull Kid and the Mask. As part of the annual festival honoring the Great Deku Tree, Mido carves a mask almost identical to the Skull Mask to wear in a play put on by the Kokiri, in which he plays the main villain. In the same play, Link plays the main hero, and carves a mask of his own. However, following the rescue of Saria and Skull Kid, and the defeat of the evil Baga Tree, Link agrees to switch roles with Mido in the play, leaving Link as the villain with the Skull Mask. After the play ends and Skull Kid prepares to leave, Link offers Skull Kid the hero's mask as a parting gift. However he declines, taking the Skull Mask with him instead.
Trivia
- The Skull Mask is similar in shape and appearance to that of the Lake Scientist, and may be loosely based off of him.
