'''Skull Kids''' ({{ja|スタルキッド|Sutaru Kiddo}}, ''Stal Kid'') are recurring characters in {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}} series. They appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as [[sticker]]s. The one from ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask}}'' appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', wearing the titular mask, as an [[Assist Trophy]].

Skull Kids first appeared in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'' as minor characters, with one in particular who befriends Link once he plays Saria's Song to him and rewards Link with a piece of heart. In ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask}}'', a Skull Kid becomes a central character. Lonely and depressed due to a lack of friends, he is shunned and downtrodden by the people of {{iw|zeldawiki|Termina}} because of his many tricks and pranks. Still, he managed to find companionship in {{iw|zeldawiki|Fairy}} siblings {{iw|zeldawiki|Tatl}} and {{iw|zeldawiki|Tael}}. One day, he manages to steal a mask from the {{iw|zeldawiki|Happy Mask Salesman}}. This mask was [[Majora's Mask]], which corrupts him when he puts it on. He now wished to destroy all of Termina by striking it with the [[Moon]]. He crosses Link during this time, which sets the events of the game into motion. This Skull Kid is the basis for ''Super Smash Bros. 4''{{'}}s Assist Trophy. A Skull Kid also appears as a minor character in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess}}'', who plays hide and seek as a form of guidance towards the Master Sword and the Temple of Time and as a miniboss who sends shadow puppets to attack Link.

The Skull Kid's attack as an Assist Trophy is not based on any known ability of Majora's Mask itself, although Skull Kid has been seen using the power of the mask to curse people for his own amusement. Two of his attacks, however, have a mechanic that makes reference to the {{s|zeldawiki|Stone Tower}} and [[zeldawiki:Stone Tower Temple|its respective temple]], which must be inverted for Link to progress.

It'll move into the background and bring down a world of chaos on the whole stage. Even the fighter who summoned him will be affected, so try to keep a level head!

Skull Kid once again returns as an Assist Trophy from ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. [[Training Mode]] describes his Assist Trophy: ''Does disruptive things like turning the stage upside down or making fighters invisible. Can't be KO'd.'' When playing on the [[Spear Pillar]] stage, Skull Kid cannot be summoned which is likely due to Palkia which can affect the screen most likely similar to what Skull Kid usually does as an Assist Trophy. Along with Spear Pillar, Skull Kid cannot be summoned on 3D Land, Arena Ferox, Dream Land, Hyrule Castle, Jungle Japes, Magicant, Mario Circuit, Midgar, Peach's Castle, Reset Bomb Forest, Skyloft, Super Mario Maker, Tortimer Island, Umbra Clock Tower, and WarioWare, Inc.

 

===As a costume===

Skull Kid serves as the basis for the Skull Kid's Hat Headgear and the Skull Kid's Outfit for the {{SSBU|Mii Brawler}}.
