Who Do I Give the Skull Mask to in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time?
The Skull Mask is an interesting and unique item that Link can obtain in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. This mask grants a special ability to manipulate time, allowing Link to revisit the past and witness past events. But, do you know who to give this mask to? Worry not, as in this article, we’ll help you answer this crucial question.
The Two-Part Answer
Contrary to what you may have expected, there aren’t just one or a handful of characters who could possibly receive the Skull Mask in Ocarina of Time. Instead, our investigation reveals that there is an entire sequence of trades you need to complete. But don’t worry! It’s not as challenging as it sounds.
There are three Skull Mask traders in the game – or rather, three points of contact where you’ll interact with the Skull Masks in different ways. Think of it as a Three-Piece Puzzle, solving each part will ultimately take you closer to the finish.
The First Skinner – Skull Kid
If you’re new to playing Ocarina of Time, you might initially interact with the Skull Masks with Skull Kid. Think back to the Lost Woods in the game – and when you enter the room where the first left passage goes, you’ll discover this impish creature already settled on a tree trunk, playing a flute! Play Saria’s Song** on this same tree stump, which allows Skull Kid to express admiration for your musical efforts.
The Second and Final Skinner – Skull Trade in the Happy Mask Shop
Now, you get another Skull Kid’s mask, which must then be traded at a particular location. Once again, head to Kakariko Village before making your way to Link’s House the Happy Mask Shop in particular. You already must have completed the Song Request sequence to unlock Kamaro’s Song inside; now, you want the Happy Mask Shop and not the one in Deku Palace.
Conclusion – Who Do I Give the Skull Mask to in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time?
To summarize, so now you know that first there is Skull Kid inside Lost Woods, and then you have to go to his room in the Happy Mask Shop in Kakariko Village. So, finally we can answer the final part of the question about whom you should give that magical Skull Mask to at some point in the whole playthrough of Ocarina of Time. Ultimately the answer is: no single character receives the entire Skull Mask you collect.
