Upon the request of the Deku King, the '''Deku Butler''' rewards [[Link]] for saving the [[Deku Princess]] by leading him through a labyrinth to the [[Mask of Scents]]. During the end credits, the Deku Butler is seen mourning at a small twisted tree. This is the same one that [[Tatl]] comments on at the beginning if the game.<ref name=tatl>{{cite|Come over to this tree and check it out! It's strange, but the way you look right now sort of looks like this tree... It looks all dark and gloomy... almost like it could start crying any second now... How sad...|Tatl|Majora's Mask}}</ref>

==Deku Butler's Son==

[[File:WeirdDekuTree?.png|right|thumb|Something theorized to be the Deku Butler's Son's Remains]]

There is evidence to suggest that the '''Deku Butler's Son''' was killed by the [[Skull Kid]] (possessed by [[Majora's Mask (Object)|Majora's Mask]]) before the start of the game, and that his soul is within Link's [[Deku Mask]].

*After leading Link to the Mask of Scents, the Deku Butler apologizes to Link for traveling so fast, stating that Link reminds him of his son, whom he used to race through the labyrinth<ref>{{cite|Actually, when I see you, I am reminded of my son who left home long ago... Somehow, I feel as if I am once again racing with my son...|Deku Butler|Majora's Mask}}</ref>.

*When [[Targeting System|Z-targeting]] the twisted tree at the start of the game, [[Tatl]] notes that the tree looks a bit like [[Deku Link]].<ref name=tatl/>

*The other two main transformational masks - the [[Goron Mask]] and the [[Zora Mask]] - contain the souls of the deceased [[Darmani]] and [[The Indigo-Go's#Mikau|Mikau]] respectively, suggesting that the Deku Mask does indeed contain a soul. Also, the [[Song of Healing]] was required to create each of the masks.

*The empty "shells" produced by the ''[[Elegy of Emptiness]]'' when played as [[Zora Link]] or [[Goron Link]] appear identical if not strikingly similar to [[The Indigo-Go's#Mikau|Mikau]] and [[Darmani]], suggesting that the song pulls the hollowed form from the soul of the user. This observation, coupled with the fact that when [[Deku Link]] plays the song, a hollow shell of a [[Deku Scrub]] very similar to the Twisted Tree materializes, supports the idea that the [[Deku Mask]] possesses the soul of the Deku Butler's son.
