Keaton Mask

Keaton Masks,^{(OoTOcarina of Time | MMMajora's Mask | HWLHyrule Warriors Legends)}^[1]^[2] also known as Fox Masks,^{(HWLHyrule Warriors Legends)}^[3] are recurring Items and Objects in The Legend of Zelda series.^{[name references needed]}

Location and Uses

Ocarina of Time

In Ocarina of Time, the Keaton Mask is the first mask Link obtains in the Mask Trading Sequence. After showing Zelda's Letter to the Death Mountain Trail Gatekeeper in Kakariko Village, he asks Link to get the mask for his son, as he is too busy guarding the gate.^[4]^[5] After showing the Mask to him, it can be sold for 15 Rupees, giving Link a 5 Rupee revenue.

The Keaton character is renowned throughout Hyrule as a popular figure, predominately among children.^[6]^[7]^[8] However, most reactions from adults are of nostalgia, confusion or admiration.^[9]^[10]^[11] Goron and Zora interactions result in a simple answer,^[12]^[13] with the exception of important characters such as King Zora, Darunia, and Princess Ruto.^[14]^[15]^[16]

Majora's Mask

Happy Mask Salesman

That's a Keaton Mask, isn't it?

It carries quite a lot of nostalgia. It was popular with children long ago.

In Majora's Mask, the Keaton Mask is initially worn by Kafei, who wears the Mask to keep his identity hidden from the residents of Clock Town. It was given to him when he was young by the Man from Curiosity Shop.^[17] Link receives the Keaton Mask as part of Anju's Anguish, the quest to reunite Anju and Kafei, when he meets the Man from Curiosity Shop inside the Curiosity Shop Back Room after 1:00 PM on the Final Day.^[18]

The Keaton Mask can be used to summon a Keaton. To do this, Link must wear the Mask while cutting a bunch of Rustling Grass with his Sword. Once summoned, the Keaton will ask Link a series of questions about the characters and locations in Termina. There are a total of thirty possible questions, each with three responses to choose from.^[19] If Link gets all of them correct, the young hero will be awarded a Piece of Heart.^[20] If a question is answered incorrectly, Link must find a different bunch of Rustling Grass, or return to the dawn of the First Day, in order to try again.

Non-Canon Information

The following section is not part of the Zelda canon and should not be taken as such.

In Hyrule Warriors, Young Link wears the Keaton Mask; however, it is simply a cosmetic item as Young Link keeps it on his head for most of the time, putting it on only in a taunting animation.

Keaton Masks are also Gold Materials which are dropped by Young Link in Hyrule Warriors Legends and Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition. They are required to create certain gold Badges in the Badge Market for Skull Kid and can also be used to make certain Mixtures in the Apothecary.^[which?]

The Fox Mask also appears in Hyrule Warriors Legends and Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition as a piece of Fairy Clothing for Companion Fairies. It is Headgear that when worn, grants the Fire Cost Down Effect.

Trivia

In version 1.0 of Ocarina of Time, the Keaton Mask was erroneously named the "Keatan Mask" on the item screen.^[21]
