Masks are recurring Items in The Legend of Zelda series.^{[name references needed]} Masks go unnamed in The Minish Cap.

Location and Uses

Ocarina of Time

In Ocarina of Time, Masks are part of the Mask Trading Sequence. In it, 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. This 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.

In The Wind Waker, the Hero's Charm is a Mask Link can wear to view enemy and bosses' health bars when targeting. It is received after Link gives 40 Joy Pendants to Mrs. Marie in Windfall Island. In The Wind Waker HD, the Hero's Charm is instead located inside a Treasure Chest at the end of the Savage Labyrinth.

Main articles: Hawkeye, Fused Shadow, and Zant Mask

In Twilight Princess, the Hawkeye is a Mask which, when worn, allows Link to view long distances. It is also compatible with the Hero's Bow, which produces a cross-hair for firing.

Other Appearances

Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland

Ambiguously Canon Information

In Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland, Tingle receives a Mask for defeating Baron. The origin of this Mask is debated, with a different story told by each Bodyguard, and is immediately sold to that Bodyguard. It has no purpose beyond this financial reward.

Hyrule Warriors

Young Link wielding the Mask

In Hyrule Warriors, the Fierce Deity's Mask and the Hawkeye appear as an Attack Badge and an Assist Badge, respectively. The Fierce Deity's Mask Badge grants Warriors an additional Special Attack Gauge. A third gauge is granted by crafting its enhanced Badge. The Hawkeye Badge increases the duration of Bow power-ups. The duration can be further increased by crafting its enhanced Badge.

Several other Masks from Majora's Mask appear as unlockable Costumes in the Termina Map, which are included in the Majora's Mask DLC Pack. A Keaton Mask is also worn by Young Link over his head.

The Mask is also a class of Weapon used by Young Link, based on the Fierce Deity's Mask. It is associated with Darkness. While Young Link primarily uses the Kokiri Sword as his actual Weapon in battle, he can temporarily transform into the Fierce Deity as part of his Weak Point Smash, Special Attack, and predominately his Focus Spirit. While in Focus Spirit, the Kokiri Sword transforms into Fierce Deity's sword, and his attack power, speed and range is heightened for the duration of the Focus Spirit. As Young Link is able to play the Ocarina of Time to empty his Special Attack Meter and fill his Magic Meter, it is possible for Young Link to stay in his Focus Spirit for lengthy periods of time.

Variations

The default Mask is the Fierce Deity Mask. The second form of the Mask is the Furious Deity Mask, followed by the Vengeful Deity Mask.

In Hyrule Warriors Legends only, the fourth form of the Mask is the Inflamed Deity's Mask, which is associated with both the Elements of Fire and Darkness.

Weak Point Smash

Main article: Critical Point § Hyrule Warriors

Against Captains and Warriors, Young Link dons the Fierce Deity Mask and becomes the Fierce Deity briefly. He then slashes his enemy rapidly, along with any other enemies caught in the attack. Against Giant Bosses, Young Link transforms into the Fierce Deity as he charges his blade with power, then strikes the boss in an uppercut slash before leaping into the air. He then comes down at the boss, striking his blade into the boss's weak point.

Special Attack

Main article: Special Attack

Young Link dons the Fierce Deity's Mask and, after prepping his sword, swings it in a wide Spin Attack. This attack hits a wide range ahead and around Young Link, and carries the Darkness Element.

Focus Spirit

Main article: Focus Spirit

Upon activation, Young Link dons the Fierce Deity's Mask. Its power surges through his body, causing him to scream similarly to the Mask cutscenes in Majora's Mask. Young Link henceforth becomes the Fierce Deity for the duration of the Focus Spirit. During his Focus Spirit Attack, the Fierce Deity holds up his blade as Skull Kid, along with Tatl and Tael, appear dropping the Moon. The Fierce Deity then slashes the Moon in half, causing a powerful blow to the surrounding enemies in the shock wave's wake. When the Focus Spirit Gauge is depleted, the Fierce Deity leans back and performs a Spin Attack, bursting in Darkness energy in the process.
