'''Majora's Mask''' is a powerful and evil mask. [[Skull Kid]] steals it from the [[Happy Mask Salesman]], and its power overcomes him. Once used in hexing rituals by an ancient tribe, the mask contains a seemingly sentient being that seeks to bring the [[moon]] down on [[Termina]] in the events of the game ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia]]''|'''Majora Mask'''<br/>A sinister mask that was used for incantations long ago.|pg. 111}} However, little else is known about the mask. It is also not known where and how the Happy Mask Salesman acquired the mask.  

Once Skull Kid puts on the mask, his pranks slowly became worse and the power of the mask overtakes, and begins to possess him.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia]]''|A young imp known as Skull Kid had snatched Majora's Mask from a traveling mask salesman. With the aid of the mask's terrible power, his actions had gone beyond the scope of mischief, and the effects of his pranks could be felt all over Termina.|pg. 111}}{{Ref|MM|4116|Tael}} Under its sway, he sets the [[Moon]] on a course to hit Termina and destroy it. Eventually, after Link and Tatl summon the [[Four Giants]] to stop the moon's fall, Majora's Mask abandons Skull Kid, claiming that he was too weak to wield its power and is no longer useful.{{Ref|MM|4118|Majora's Mask}}{{Ref|MM|4121-4122|Majora's Mask}} The mask escapes [[Inside the Moon]], forcing Link and Tatl to follow him there and battle the mask's evil spirit.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia]]''|Link pursued the mask to the center of the moon. There, a strange battle unfolded.|pg. 112}}

As the mask's original representation, this form is seen for the whole game except the very end, when Majora switches to other forms. It is a purple mask with two big yellow eyes and spikes on the side of the mask. It is also the first stage of the boss battle. The mask literally floats in mid-air, but can be easily defeated with The [[Fierce Deity's Mask]]. His attacks include spinning sideways towards Link like a saw-blade and shooting a fire beam that can be reflected. He summons the bosses' remains to attack the hero, but they are weak and can be defeated quickly.
