Mask

Template:Item Masks are recurring items in Template:LZS.

Uses

Masks are equipment items that Link can wear over his face. In some games, the Masks give Link a variety of abilities when worn. Some of these abilities are required for Link to progress, while others are used for optional sidequests. Some Masks, such as those in Ocarina of Time, are merely items intended for fun that give no additional abilities when worn, but can gauge different reactions from characters while speaking to them.

Majora's Mask uses the Masks as one of the primary gameplay features. Four masks allow Link to transform his form entirely. While in another form, Link has access to abilities that are unavailable to him otherwise.

Appearances

Ocarina of Time

In Ocarina of Time, Masks are part of Mask Trading Sequence, in which 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, and 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.

The Hawkeye

In Twilight Princess, several Masks appear.

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 Light Spirits. 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 Hawkeye is a Mask Link can obtain, which when worn, allows him 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 mini-game.

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

In A Link Between Worlds, numerous characters in Lorule wear Masks. A Masked Elder leads a group of Masked Followers, who have come to wear Masks resembling monsters in the hopes that it will bring them salvation from Lorule's crumbling world. Majora's Mask also appears inside Link's House.
