Kafei's Mask
Kafei's Mask is a recurring Item in The Legend of Zelda series.[1] It resembles the face of Kafei.
Location and Uses
Majora's Mask
The mask is given to Link by Madame Aroma, who handmade it herself.[2] Link must visit the Mayor's Official Residence on the morning of the First Day and go into Madame Aroma's office.[3] Upon his arrival, Madame Aroma will assume Link is the professional she hired to find Kafei.[4] She then asks if he will accept the assignment, and if he answers with "Yes," she will give him Kafei's Mask to begin his search.[5]
The mask is used to help gather information about the missing person, Kafei.[6] Talking to Clock Town's residents while wearing the mask will prompt them to comment on Kafei. It is vital part in the process of the Reuniting Kafei and Anju sidequest.
Reactions
If Link talks to the residents of Clock Town while wearing the mask, he can get different reactions from them:
| Character | |
|---|---|
| Reaction | I used to see him at the Laundry Pool a lot. |
| Character | |
| Reaction | He hasn't been here...Have you asked about him at the other stores? |
| Character | |
| Reaction | I saw him somewhere...It was somewhere around here. Sorry, I'm busy. |
| Character | |
| Reaction | Ah...You. Did some middle-aged woman put you to work? Kafei isn't here... |
| Character | |
| Reaction | Oh, Dotour...If they pick on you, you come tell teacher, OK? |
| Character | |
| Reaction | Hey! We have a no-mask policy...Whaaa?? I didn't think I'd see nobody wearin' a mask like that no more, but here's one. So Dotour's wife is making you search for him with this, eh? Doesn't look a thing like 'im, really. Then again, I guess it does, so...um...Hey...uh...I want you to leave now. |
| Character | |
| Reaction | Kafei! No, I don't know any such kid. I kid you not! |
| Character | |
| Reaction | You're the one my wife has hired? So Kafei still hasn't...hmmm. This is a secret, so don't tell my wife. Go ask at the Curiosity Shop, the store in the worst part of town that only opens at night. That guy is a bad influence on me... |
| Character | |
| Reaction | ...I don't know where he is. Even if I knew, it would be a secret. |
| Character | |
| Reaction | Ohh, how many people are gonna ask me that? That lady is so persistent. Soooo, doesn't Kafei want to break off his engagement to Anju? Why not let him? That's what he wants...Some people... |
| Character | |
| Reaction | Ah, Kafei, eh? He hasn't come here. |
| Character | |
| Reaction | Oh, Kafei? The mayor's son...Now that you mention it, I haven't seen him lately. |

Trivia
- Kafei's Mask is one of the few duplicated masks in the game, as Anju also has it. The other masks with this characteristic are the Keaton Mask, which each of the Bombers claim to have, Romani's Mask, which is owned by all customers of Latte, the Garo's Mask, which both Gorman Brothers own, and the Couple's Mask, which is a symbol of marriage.[7][8]
