3:58 I have always thought the Happy Mask Salesman is some kind of supernatural entity. I mean, he's the ONLY character in the whole Zelda franchise who changes animations suddenly and basically teleports around instantly. He even gets a damn pipe organ out of nowhere to teach us the Song of Healing. Wtf is he?

[@Ghostcharm]

ive always thought he was a sort of self-insert of Shigero Miyamoto

[@WoobertAIO]

@@Ghostcharm that... makes sense, tbf. Also, have you played "Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning"? I'd love it if you were to ever make a Villainpedia of its two main villains.

[@DaDunge]

My theory is that he is actually the father of the original Majora who's soul was trapped in the mask. Hence why he sought to find the mask.

[@comradecameron3726]

@@DaDunge Majora was a dragon tho.

[@DaDunge]

@@comradecameron3726 Let me guess this is manga BS?

[@Vianyte]

Skull Kid possessed by Majora's Mask is reminicent of that saying "a child who feels no love from a village will burn it down to feel its warmth."

[@nickgarcia610]

I like that. it is acknowledging the cyclical nature of pain. something I've noticed about the world is that people often only focus on the way they themselves have been transgressed and chose to keep that same cycle alive. all it takes is for one person to be the bigger human being and end the system of pain. like when a father/mother chooses not to do to their children what their fathers/mothers did to wrong them.

[@militarykobold]

One thing I don't see brought up super often are just how many people Skull Kid, under Majora's influence, personally fucks with. He's the one that changed Kafei into a child, put the boulder blocking Milk Road (iirc??), and assaulted Koume the witch in the monkey maze. I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting. In all cases, he's causing strife between people who care about each other because he's so alone.

[@dimimitri3072]

I just find it interesting how a game that is just incredibly filled with mysteries and ideas has a villain , who at the end of the day, is just a frustrated child who got taken advantage of And honestly that's one of the big points that just sells the character for me like look at him, it's just a funny little chaotic guy

[@Kolya-chu]

I’ll never forget the deku scrub’s dad literally shaking and crying at the sight of his son after the skull kid murked him 😢

[@_Tzer]

This skull kid may have a somewhat slight yet musical impact in the lore: in twilight princess there are skullkids playing saria's song this may be the same one or perhaps some other ones this one taught. Also appears in hyrule warriors cuz idk.

Hi I'm new here. Algorithm brought me. Fantastic channel.

[@AverageEvangelionFan]

I don’t know if it’s canon but in one of the comics it’s said thst the mask was carved from the scales/armour of a dragon named Magora by a warrior after he killed said dragon

[@KaminoKatie]

It's not canon plus that is lame af

[@DaDunge]

5:00 No I think there was a majora at one point. Remember how the transformation masks in this game are created, by the song of healing from a tortured soul. I would guess that is how Majoras Mask was created too.

[@AnAverageGoblin]

the in game lore says it was made by an ancient tribe for use in rituals.

[@DaDunge]

@@AnAverageGoblin That's the legend but legends aren't nessecerily true.

[@AnAverageGoblin]

@@DaDunge If its the only in-game lore for it then it is true.

[@DaDunge]

@@AnAverageGoblin But it's not we also see the things we see inside the moon which suggest that there was at some point an individual. Also nothign say some ancient tribe didn't use it after the original soul had been used to create the mask. I just don't think it was the primary intent.

[@Milliardo__Peacecraft]

@@DaDunge you're drawing connections between unrelated objects. Majora never transforms anyone because the entity IS the mask there was no soul or previous thing "healed". It's the same with the 4 bosses you defeat in the game, the power inside them combined with Majora is what gave them form that is why Majora discards Skullkid then after morphs completely on it's own. If we go off the most agreed theory that the twilight made the mask then that argument would have to be applied to the fused shadow mask/helmet and that thing having its own soul just doesn't make any sense either.

Majora's Mask has always been one of my favorite pieces of fiction, with Skullkid being one of my favorite villains.

[@AndrevusWhitetail]

The only thing anyone knows is...Majora DEFINTIELY has some sort of connection to the Interlopers of Twilight Princess. The Fused Shadow bears some striking simillarities to Majora's Mask, specifically one of the eyes.

[@Mazer2721]

This series is great. Please keep it up.

[@Ghostcharm]

aye aye cappin'.

[@hexxious7097]

I had such a crush on skull kid when I was younger

[@Ablyeon2002]

Majora could have been a Character that long ago ruled the world and threw it into chaos which I feel a hero came and turned him into a mask and this is where I say the Fierce Deity is the one who did it cause I believe the cannon way to beat Majora is with that mask which could mean there is a connection between the two now after the Deity did so back than he wasn't a God he was just a chosen Warrior he was than turned into a mask aswell so that if Majora comes back another one Chosen to take him down may have a better chance in doing so but this is just a Theory/Head cannon this video has enlightened I now know more about this Kid and the Demon thing that has been a Mask for a very long time

[@Things_n_Stuff]

Little known fact: if you visit skull kid in OoT as adult Link, he’ll attack you outright, apparently he has no love for adults. I like to think skull kid killed the happy mask salesman as he was traveling through the woods. It would at least explain why at the end of the game, the mask salesman deliberately fades into nothing while skull kid (without the mask) can’t even bring himself to look at the salesman. It’s a stretch but it would make sense

[@seveneh1788]

skullkid lowkey gave me nightmares when i was in the third grade that shit is sPOOOKY

[@SkullKid2000]

I relate to the Skull Kid, even though he is evil, he was influenced by the evil mask. For me, I have evil thoughts because I'm influenced by evil people (there are an abundance now due to how the general population mentality is). We live in a fake society, if you're not part of it, either by choice, or it's not you, eventually, it'll get to you. I've been overcome with loneliness, rejection, and I never had any friends, like the Skull Kid. Over time, it took a toll on me. At times I feel like I will break down as I'm close to rock bottom. At the end when they said they remembered the Skull Kid, it pulls on my heart strings a bit. No one will ever remember me, I remember lots of other people, some good, who are no longer around. ;( I remember one time I was sitting out in gym class and someone walked through and saw me sitting there and hung out with me for a bit. It was the closest thing to friendship I ever experienced and I will treasure that always. I doubt it will make sense to anyone, as I'm not good at communication or expression.

[@joshrobinson2409]

I saw this in a different video and this is accepted as cannon majora was once a dragon who was leader of a land that he was the only one in it, he was very powerful until an ancient hero game and as you would think majora wasnt thrilled to see him some stuff happens and it ends up with the hero playing his ocarina forcing the dragon to dance into exhaustion which led to his death out of respect the hero carved a mask out of one of his scales and that is how majoras mask was born what ties into this is that at the end of the game majora if you get the fierce deities mask hes challenges you to a game of good guy vs bad guy the deity mask is supposed to represent the hero that killed majora millennia ago the hero was really powerful as well which is why you can take out most bosses with a few hits but yeah all of this is cannon

[@Iteisenhauer]

Love these videos. Just found them with the dagoth one. I'm going to spam it but I'd love to see this done for the metal gear villains. Feel like its ripe with content for you and you buttery voice.

[@nomadrootstv2408]

Yoooo. Skull kid is my favorite villain of all time in any game. Absolutely loved Majora's Mask. Ocarina of Time will forever be what drew me in to videogames, but Majora's brought so much seriousness and darkness tot he game for me and loved the mask mechanic and overall difficulty of the game and the imminent timer of the day's going by. I really hope the new breath of the wild draws from this as being a darker more difficult game form the first BotW. I love it. Keep it up man! (Skull Kid being a 'jester' I see what you did there ghost ;) love it)

[@Ghostcharm]

agreed man. for BOTW sequel i really just want proper dungeons instead of all of the puzzles being slapped into shrines that all look identical - a weirder story would be the cherry on top :)

[@loginnoggin]

@@Ghostcharm amen. Themed dungeons at that

[@nomadrootstv2408]

@@Ghostcharm yeah I get ya. It was to set the world and scale of what they could do with the new engine I believe. And it a post apocalyptic theme as well. I'm excited to see what comes next. BotW is on my top 3 games of all time, albeit how it was with that feeling of emptiness; it felt like what it was: 100 after the calamity and all the aftermath of it. Was so cool seeing an NPC traveling along the road. Super excited to see what comes

[@stonecoat_art]

@@nomadrootstv2408 agreed bro, botw was sublime

[@kierinhernandez7524]

In the Majora's Mask Manga (not canon) there is a sort of end credit scene where we see a traveler (who is reminiscent of the fierce diety) tricks majora into killing itself and skinning it into the Majora's mask. While it is not canon I believe it holds weight as a likely origin of the mask considering the mask itself has horns, beast like eyes, and strange mouth holes/pores. The reason for it's chaos is the unrest and wrath of Majora.

[@drswag0076]

the two suspects for who made the mask is either the Interlopers who were the ancestors of the Twili I.E, Zant and Midna from Twilight Princess who made it along with the Fused Shadow or the Ikana Kingdom. we know it's the oldest settlement in Termina and there's evidence of Ikana conducting a bit of imperial expansion and the possibility that the mask was sealed in the Stone Tower Temple that was around before the kingdom so i'll say the ancestors of the Ikana people maybe?

[@rock3793]

This Link wanders the woods lost with no one in Termina recognizing him as the hero. Until he dies and becomes your teacher in Twilight Princess.

[@AnAverageGoblin]

the Link in TP is a direct descendant of the OoT Link. its impossible for him to have died in the lost woods. the Hero's Shade is/was a grown man.

[@Humble-iq5ue]

Even more so after the events of OoT no one even knew link was the hero of time since he went back in time after saving hyrule. So for everyone else the future of Ganon taking over never happens thus leaving most blissfully unaware of the future they could of faced.

[@DrCrabnuts]

I’m digging your Villainpedia series.

[@crabohato4954]

2:18 that is a very odd shape, kinda looks like the Triforce, but without the Triforce of power. This may be farfetched, but what if Termina was just a version of Hyrule without Ganondorf. A world where Demise was never a thing and thus the need of a hero and a princess who wielded the Triforce pieces weren't needed.

[@DAxBatres]

NPCpedia for the happy mask salesman?

[@juansantos4925]

Imagine if all the masks he owns were at some point people alive with misfortunes who met their ends tragically, so tragically and depressingly that it prevented them from moving on to the afterlife because of unresolved things tormenting their spirits. I think of him as the Oracle of Time, the one appointed by the goddesses in ancient times, with the duty to heal the misfortunes of poor souls, purifying them, leaving only a fragment of their goodwill in the form of a mask, to remind those in dark times that rope still exists, and to support the needy of a light at the end of the tunnel, so that those don't meet the same terrible fate. As Link is the hero of time, it is only fitting that the Oracle of Time guide him to fulfill his duty, the duty to heal, a task that only time can do perfectly, but requires indomitable courage to take on the pain of others and find a way for the winds of change to clear the path.

[@juansantos4925]

For a hero is also a Terrible Fate, to witness that he alone cannot save everyone and he is always needed in this dark times, cause evil is everywere and his neglicence or denial turns to be a spiral of suffering with no end.

[@alexxxisrose]

Majora was a dragon whos hide was used to craft the mask
