Mask

[[File:.png|20x20px]] [[|]] Masks are recurring items in Template:LZS.

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.

Young Link wielding the Mask

In Hyrule Warriors and Hyrule Warriors Legends, The Fierce Deity Mask and Hawkeye also appear as Badges in the Badge Market of the Bazaar.

In the Majora's Mask DLC Pack, Young Link is a playable warrior who uses the Mask as a class weapon. It is associated with Darkness. While Young Link primarily uses the Kokiri Sword in battle, he can temporarily transform into the Fierce Deity as part of Focus Spirit with the Mask. While in Focus Spirit, Young Link's sword transforms into the 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 Template:It 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.

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. The fourth form of the Mask is the Inflamed Deity's Mask which associate with both the Elements of Fire and Darkness from Hyrule Warriors Legends.
