{{Term/Store|Majora's Mask||Series, MM, MM3D, BotW}} is a recurring item and object in {{TLoZ|Series}}.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |book= A&A|publisher= |page= 191 {{Exp Game|MM3D}}}}</ref><ref name="BotW Inventory">{{Cite|{{Big|Majora's Mask}}<br>An eerie mask passed down from ancient times.

Majora's Mask is first introduced after the [[Happy Mask Salesman]] removes the curse that was placed on [[Link]] by [[Skull Kid]]. The Salesman explains that the Mask is an ancient artifact that was used by an ancient tribe for its bewitching rituals, but the Mask's wicked power became so great that it was sealed away to prevent a great catastrophe. However, since the ancient tribe vanished, no one accurately knows the true nature of its power. The salesman fears the great devastation that could befall [[Termina]] if the Mask is not taken back from the Skull Kid.<ref>{{Cite|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!|Happy Mask Salesman|MM}}</ref>  

When the Skull Kid donned the Mask, it transformed a world into the land of Termina out of a combination of the evil within the Mask and the Skull Kid's memories and delusions.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=When a Skull Kid steals Majora's Mask from a traveling mask salesman, the combination of the Skull Kid's burdened heart and the evil magic within Majora's Mask transforms the world into the land of Termina.|book=E|page=36}}</ref><ref>{{Cite Book|quote=Termina is a parallel world with its own distinct culture, which is perhaps influenced by Majora's ancient tribe. This land is also inhabited by races and people similar to those found in Hyrule, which were constructed from the Skull Kid's memories and delusions.|book=E|page=36}}</ref>

For a majority of the game, the Mask is worn by Skull Kid on the [[Clock Tower]], drawing the [[Moon (Object)|Moon]] to Termina.<ref>{{Cite|What could that troublemaker be doing atop the clock tower? I just hope he's not plotting another one of his no-good tricks...|Professor Shikashi|MM}}</ref> Although the Skull Kid is unaware, Majora's Mask is gradually beginning to take complete control of his mind, with his once harmless pranks becoming malicious acts of evil.<ref>{{Cite|The power of the mask made him do it.

After the [[Four Giants]] are called, the Mask abandons Skull Kid and enters the Moon so that it can push it through the Giants' blockade and complete its destructive path.<ref>{{Cite|A puppet that can no longer be used is mere garbage.

Let's go!|Tatl|MM}}</ref> Once inside, he finds four [[Moon Children|children]] wearing the boss Remains and one lonely child under a [[Tree]] wearing Majora's Mask. If Link gives all his non-transformation [[mask]]s to the four children, the child wearing Majora's Mask will give him the [[Fierce Deity's Mask]]. He will then take Link to the final boss room.

After the young hero and [[Tatl]] defeat Majora's Mask, they return to the land of Termina where the Happy Mask Salesman informs them that the evil inside the Mask has disappeared.<ref>{{Cite|Oh...So the evil has left the mask after all...|Happy Mask Salesman|MM}}</ref> The Mask is last seen as the Happy Mask Salesman departs with it in his hands.

====Majora's Mask====

{{Tatl|Majora's Mask|Remember your battles! When something resistant would deflect your weapons, what was its backside usually like? {{Exp Game|MM}}

'''Remember your battles!'''<br>When a fight is too tough head on, you've always had luck approaching the situation from a different angle... {{Exp Game|MM3D}}}}

When the battle starts, Majora's Mask comes to life and grows hairlike tentacles. To defeat it, Link must first stun the Mask with any projectile by hitting it in the back. This will make the Mask collapse to the ground, allowing Link to strike it with his [[Sword]]. Alternatively, Link can transform into [[Zora Link]] and use his [[Boomerang]] fins. When Z-targeting the Mask, the fins will fly behind it, hitting its back. Additionally, [[Deku Link]] can burrow into the flower designs on the ground, protecting him from any attack. This also allows Deku Link to hit the Mask as it flies over him. After the Mask has taken enough damage, the four boss Remains will begin to attack Link as well, shooting energy bolts at him. They can be defeated by shooting [[Arrow]]s at them. Majora's Mask will also start shooting fire beams at Link, which can be deflected back at the Mask with the [[Mirror Shield]]. Majora's Mask can also use its tentacles to perform a whirling attack. The attack cannot be blocked, but it can be countered with a [[Spin Attack]], causing the Mask to become stunned.

====Majora's Incarnation====

{{Tatl|Majora's Incarnation|Remember your battles! When you fought things that ran around, didn't you battle them using your own body? {{Exp Game|MM}}

After the Mask form is defeated, it loses its tentacles and grows a set of arms and legs, as well as a tiny, one-eyed head with horns. This form of Majora's Mask will run around the room, pausing every now and then to perform a variety of dances, including the {{wp|Moonwalk (dance)|moonwalk}} and {{wp|Kozachok}}, pirouettes, and jumping jacks or to make taunting gestures at Link. Its only attack is a rapid-fire barrage of energy bolts it fires from its hands. To defeat Majora's Incarnation, Link must hit it with either his Sword or [[Bow]] when it stops dancing. When hit, it will fall to the ground on its face and flail about. After being struck a few times with the Sword, it will get up again. During the entire battle, Majora's Incarnation makes clucking and whooping noises, and emits a high-pitched screech whenever struck. Though seemingly weaker than its other forms, its speed makes it hard to hit.

[[File:Majora's Wrath.png|thumb|right|x150px|Majora's Wrath]]

After the final scream from Majora's Incarnation is heard, it stands up to assume its final form. Its muscles then begin to throb and inflate into a more humanoid shape. Whip-like tentacles also shoot out from its hands, and a new head bursts forth from its neck, becoming Majora's Wrath. To defeat Majora's Wrath, Link must use a projectile weapon to stun it while it is immobile. He can then strike it with a [[Light Arrow]] or his Sword. It often jumps from one side of the arena to the other. Its attacks are fast-hitting, but slow to wind up, giving Link a window of opportunity to attack. Majora's Wrath attacks by whipping its tentacles three times, throwing giant spinning tops lined with spikes, grabbing Link and tossing him across the room, and using a furious whipping attack with an accompanying shriek. Most of Majora's Wrath's attacks have a long reach which allows it to attack numerous times in succession. Defeating Majora's Wrath causes the monster to disintegrate into ashes.

In {{ALBW}}, Majora's Mask can be seen hanging in [[Link's House]], which later becomes [[Ravio's Shop]]. It is unknown if the Mask is the genuine article, as it is unclear how and when Majora's Mask would have been found in the Downfall Timeline. The Mask cannot be worn, although Link can [[Wall Merging|merge]] into the wall behind it to create an illusion of wearing it. The Mask was placed in the game as a hint of the [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake of {{MM}}.<ref>{{Cite person|quote= Oh, one more thing. I see many of you have been asking about a remake of Majora's Mask for Nintendo 3DS. It's nice to see such a strong response to this title and we haven't forgotten about Link's adventures in that world.  If you play A Link Between Worlds, you may better understand what I mean by that.|name= Eiji Aonuma|url= https://www.facebook.com/notes/the-legend-of-zelda-uk/eiji-aonuma-qa-on-the-legend-of-zelda-a-link-between-worlds/379446052188331|title= Eiji Aonuma Q&A on The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds}}</ref>

==={{BotW|-}}===

In {{BotW}}, Majora's Mask appears as an [[Armor]] in [[The Master Trials]] DLC Pack. Obtaining Majora's Mask is the objective of the [[Side Quest]] "[[EX Treasure: Ancient Mask]]". The Mask is mentioned in [[Misko's EX Journal]] in the [[Outpost Ruins]], while the Mask itself is hidden in a Treasure Chest at the [[Kolomo Garrison Ruins]]. After obtaining Majora's Mask, [[Granté]] will begin selling it for 50 [[Rupee]]s.{{Note|Prior to the [[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild#Updates|Version 1.3.3 Update]], Granté would not sell any Armor that is exclusive to the Expansion Pass or The Master Trials DLC Pack. This meant that Majora's Mask could not be replaced if sold, which was noted in the description of the Mask.<ref>{{Cite|{{Big|Majora's Mask}}<br>An eerie mask passed down from ancient times.

If sold, this rare find can't be replaced.|Inventory|BotW}}</ref> The description of Majora's Mask was changed in the Version 1.3.3 Update as the Mask could now be replaced.<ref name="BotW Inventory/">}} Majora's Mask only offers 1 defense, but allows Link to approach multiple enemies, including [[Bokoblin]]s, [[Moblin]]s, [[Lizalfos]], and [[Lynel]]s, without provoking them to attack.<ref name="BotW Inventory"/>

In {{SSBM}}, Majora's Mask serves as a stage for {{ssb|Event 47}}, "Trophy Tussle 3." If all three opponents are defeated within three minutes and without losing the 2 lives granted, the player is rewarded with Majora's Mask [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros.)|Trophy]].

In {{HW}}, Majora's Mask appears in the {{MM|-}} DLC Pack as part of [[Lana]]'s [[Costume#Lana|Skull Kid Clothes]] Costume. Majora's Mask also appears as an [[Item Card]] in the [[Termina Map]] from [[Adventure Mode]], where it maxes out a Warrior's [[Special Attack|Special]] and Magic gauges for a single battle. Majora's Mask is also worn by the Skull Kid, who appears as a playable Warrior, and who also appears when [[Young Link]] summons the Moon during his [[Focus Spirit|Focus Spirit Attack]]. Majora's Masks are also Gold [[Material]]s which are dropped by Skull Kid in {{HW|L}} and {{HW|DE}}.
