Prior to the events of Majora's Mask, a wandering [[Skull Kid]] had ambushed a [[zeldawiki:Happy Mask Salesman|man]] in the forest. He stole Majora's Mask and wore it, unaware of the fact that a great evil was housed inside it, and ultimately being a victim to the mask's influence. Using his new-found power, he performed all kinds of mischief like turning Link into [[zeldawiki:Deku Scrub|a Deku]], forcing him to stop all kinds of havoc he caused in an [[zeldawiki:Termina|alternate world.]]
Prior to the events of Majora's Mask, a wandering [[Skull Kid]] had ambushed a [[zeldawiki:Happy Mask Salesman|man]] in the forest. The man attacked in the forest is later revealed to be the Mask Salesman from ''Ocarina of Time''. Apparently, he knew of Majora's Mask and the [[zeldawiki:Ancient Tribe|tribe]] that made use of its powerful sorcery to bewitch people. as demonstrated by the Skull Kid's mischief. Because of the mask's great power, and in fear of all the catastrophes committed by said mask, it (along with the tribe) vanished from history. Indeed, Skull Kid stole Majora's Mask, completely unaware of the fact that a great evil was housed inside it, and ultimately being a victim to the mask's influence. Using his new-found power, he performed all kinds of mischief like turning Link into [[zeldawiki:Deku Scrub|a Deku]]. The Mask Salesman feared [[zeldawiki:Terminan Apocalypse|a horrible catastrophe]] would happen again, giving Link no choice but to stop all kinds of havoc in [[Termina]].


The man attacked in the forest is later revealed to be the Mask Salesman from ''Ocarina of Time''. Apparently, he knew of Majora's Mask and the [[zeldawiki:Ancient Tribe|tribe]] that made use of its powerful sorcery to bewitch people (which questions whether or not he has any relation to the tribe), as demonstrated by the Skull Kid's mischief. Because of the mask's great power, and in fear of all the catastrophes committed by said mask, it (along with the tribe) became removed from history. The Mask Salesman also could feel what he referred to as the "[[zeldawiki:Terminan Apocalypse|doom of a dark omen.]]" Fearing such a catastrophe would happen again, he begs Link to get the mask back from the Skull Kid, given a [[zeldawiki:Time|time limit of 72 hours (three days)]] before Termina falls victim to the Skull Kid's malice.
After a series of trials, Link eventually freed [[zeldawiki:Four Giants|Termina's guardians]] from their imprisonment. After learning a [[zeldawiki:Oath to Order|melody of trust,]] Link played the melody to prevent the destruction of Termina and free Skull Kid from the mask. The mask later revealed itself, stating that the Skull Kid was merely a puppet in his plan. He entered and possessed the [[zeldawiki:Moon (Majora's Mask)|moon he created]], and Link followed after the mask.  
 
It was revealed at some point in the game that the Skull Kid had a close friendship with [[zeldawiki:Four Giants|Termina's guardians]]. They returned to the [[zeldawiki:Chamber of Gaints|spirit world]] at the end of the previous {{s|zeldawiki|Carnival of Time}}; little did they realize that the Skull Kid had watched them leave, thinking that they did not want to be friends anymore. His emotions, combined with the dark ambitions of the spirit in Majora's Mask, had triggered hatred to everyone on the planet. He sealed away the four giants using his power, with the seals taking the form of four bosses in the four temples of Termina.
 
After a series of trials, Link eventually freed the giants from their imprisonment. From the giants, he learned of a [[zeldawiki:Oath to Order|melody of trust,]] and on the final day he played that melody; this prevented the destruction of Termina, as well as freeing Skull Kid from the mask. The mask later revealed itself, stating that the Skull Kid was merely a puppet in his plan. He entered and possessed the [[zeldawiki:Moon (Majora's Mask)|moon he created]], and Link followed after the mask.  


From there he found a [[zeldawiki:Moon Children|child]] wearing Majora's Mask. He asked to play Tag, to which Link reluctantly agrees. If the player has given away all their non-transformation masks away to the four lunar children (who disappear after they finish playing Hide-and-Seek with Link), the only child will give Link [[zeldawiki:Fierce Deity's Mask|a powerful, yet sinister mask.]] The player can only wear this mask in boss rooms.
