Happy Mask Salesman and Skull Kid

Hee, hee. You two fairies did great!

I wonder if he has anything good on him...

Huh? This guy...

...Well, that shouldn't be a problem.

Ooh, ooh! What a pretty ocarina... Hey, Skull Kid, lemme touch it! I wanna see!

You can't, Tael!

What would we do if you dropped it and broke it? No way! You can't touch it!!!

...Aw, but sis... W...Why can't I try it out, too?

What's with that stupid horse of yours?! It doesn't listen to a word that's said to it...

There's no point in riding a thing like that, so I did you a favor and got rid of it... Hee, hee...

Hee, hee! Now, that's a good look for you!

You'll stay here looking that way forever!

Whoa! Whoa! Skull Kid, wait for me! I'm still here!!! Tael, you can't leave without me!

S-s...Sis!

You!

If I wasn't dealing with you, I wouldn't have gotten separated from my brother!

Well, don't just sit there, Deku boy! Do something!!!

...Why are you looking at me like that? What, is there something stuck on my face?

Will you stop staring and just open that door for me?!?

Please!!! C'mon, a helpless, little girl is asking you... So hurry up!

Ohhhh, Tael... I wonder if that child will be all right on his own?

Hey, wait for me! Don't leave me behind!

So, um... That stuff back there... I...um...apologize, so... So take me with you!

You wanna know about that Skull Kid who just ran off, right?

Well, I just so happen to have an idea of where he might be going.

Take me with you and I'll help you out. Deal?

Please?

Good! So then it's settled!

Now then, I'll be your partner... or at least until we catch that Skull Kid...

My name's Tatl. So, uh, it's nice to meet you or whatever.

Now that we've got all that straightened out, can we stop messing around and get moving?

If I figure something out, press C-Up and I'll tell it to you. Hopefully, you'll manage to get by without my help until then!

Aww, boo-hoo. Why the sad face?

I just thought I'd have a little fun with you...

Oh, come now... Do you really think you can beat me as I am now? Fool!

In the land of Hyrule, there echoes a legend. A legend held dearly by the Royal Family that tells of a boy...

A boy who, after battling evil and saving Hyrule, crept away from the land that had made him a legend...

Done with the battles he once waged across time, he embarked on a journey. A secret and personal journey...

A journey in search of a beloved and invaluable friend...

A friend with whom he parted ways when he finally fulfilled his heroic destiny and took his place among legends...

Aah! He's awake!

You guys... You hadn't forgotten about me?

You still thought of me as a friend?

Did you... Did you save me?

I thought they didn't want to be friends with me...

But... They hadn't forgotten about me...

Friends are a nice thing to have... Heh, heh.

Could you be my friend, too?

Eh-hee-hee...You have the same smell as the fairy kid who taught me that song in the woods...

I know, I know! Let's do something!

Oh...So the evil has left the mask after all...

Well, now...I finally have it back.

Since I am in the midst of my travels...

I must bid you farewell.

Shouldn't you be returning home as well?

Whenever there is a meeting, a parting is sure to follow.

However, that parting need not last forever...

Whether a parting be forever or merely for a short time... That is up to you.

With that, please excuse me...

...But, my, you sure have managed to make quite a number of people happy.

The masks you have are filled with happiness.

This is truly a good happiness.

Well, both of us have gotten what we were after... So this is where you and I part ways, isn't it?

You know...it was kind of fun.

Well...it's almost time for the
carnival to begin...

So, why don't you just leave and go about your business? The rest of us have a carnival to go to.

Link!

...Thank you.

You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?

I own the Happy Mask Shop. I travel far and wide in search of masks...

During my travels, a very important mask was stolen from me by an imp in the woods.

So here I am at a loss... And now I've found you.

Now don't think me rude, but I have been following you...

...For I know of a way to return you to your former self.

If you can get back the precious item that was stolen from you, I will return you to normal.

In exchange...

All I ask is that you also get back my precious mask that the imp stole from me.

What? Is it not a simple task?

Why, to someone like you, it should by no means be a difficult task.

Except...

The one thing is... I'm a very busy fellow...

And I must leave this place in three days.

How grateful I would be if you could bring it back to me before my time here is up...

But yes...You'll be fine. I see you are young and have tremendous courage.

I'm sure you'll find it right away.

Well then, I am counting on you...

Why, hello... Did you find that little imp?

If you can get back the precious item that was stolen from you, I will return you to normal.

Surely, you should be able to find him right away.

Time continues to pass even as we speak. There are only # left.

Please... Do not forget my precious mask.

How did you do?

You'll be fine. Surely, you should be able to recover Majora's Mask. I believe in you.

Ah, but time passes even as we speak... There are only # left.

Ho, ho, ho...

Were you able to recover your precious item from that imp?

Oh! Oh! Ohhh!!! You got it! You got it! You got it! You got it!!!

Then listen to me. Please play this song that I am about to perform, and remember it well...

This is a melody that heals evil magic and troubled spirits, turning them into masks.

I am sure it will be of assistance to you in the future.

Ah, yes. I give you this mask in commemoration of this day.

Fear not, for the magic has been sealed inside the mask.

When you wear it, you will transform into the shape you just were. When you remove it, you will return to normal.

Now, I have fulfilled my promise to you...

So, please, give me that which you promised me...

Don't tell me...

My mask...

You did...

get it back...Didn't you?

What have you done to me!!!

If you leave my mask out there, something terrible will happen!

The mask that was stolen from me... It is called Majora's Mask.

It is an accursed item from legend that is said to have been used by an ancient tribe in its hexing rituals.

It is said that an evil and wicked power is bestowed upon the one who wears that mask.

According to legend...

the troubles caused by Majora's Mask were so great...

the ancient ones, fearing such catastrophe, sealed the mask in shadow forever, preventing its misuse.

But now, that tribe from the legend has vanished, so no one really knows the true nature of the mask's power...

...But I feel it.

I went to great lengths to get that legendary mask. When I finally had it...

I could sense the doom of a dark omen brewing. It was that unwelcome feeling that makes your hair stand on end.

And now... that imp has it...

I am begging you! You must get that mask back quickly or something horrible will happen!

Oh, you?

Were you able to get Majora's Mask back?

You still haven't done it!

I keep telling you that if you don't get it back soon, terrible things will happen!!!

Only # remain. But time is not eternal. Please make the most of your time.

Surely you should be able to do something.

Believe in your strengths... Believe...

You'll do fine. Surely you will be able to recover Majora's Mask.

Only # remain. But time is not eternal. Please make the most of your time.

I believe in you. I will be waiting here for you. Ho, ho, ho.

Oh, yes. You... You have the spirit of the Goron who could not be healed...

So then... Have you recovered Majora's Mask?

Oh, that shape? You have the spirit of the Zora who could not be healed...

That mask...

Why that's...

Unfortunately, that's not the mask I am looking for.

You have done some good work...

Keep up that pace. I am counting on you to get my mask...
