In ''Ocarina of Time'', three Skull Kids can be found within the [[Lost Woods]]. The first can be found through the first left-hand tunnel as Link enters the forest. If Young [[Link]] stands on the tree stump and pulls out his [[Ocarina]] to play [[Saria's Song]], the Skull Kid gives Link a [[Piece of Heart]] and befriends him. After this, the Skull Kid purchases the [[Skull Mask]] from Link, but only for 10 [[Rupee]]s, half of what it costs.

The Skull Kid in ''Majora's Mask'' is known to be the same Skull Kid for whom Link played Saria's Song in ''Ocarina of Time''; this is implied at the end of the game when the Skull Kid says that Link has the same smell as the fairy child that taught him a song in the woods.

Skull Kid had become friends with the [[Four Giants]] that created the four lands of [[Termina]]: swamp to the south, mountains to the north, oceans to the west, and canyons to the east. When they finished, they started to leave, but the Skull Kid tried to stop them. After they left, he started causing trouble with two fairies: [[Tael]] and his sister [[Tatl]]. The Skull Kid desired power, so he stole [[Majora's Mask]] from the [[Happy Mask Salesman]]. Skull Kid became possessed by Majora's Mask and became its puppet, wreaking havoc among the natives of Termina and attempting to bring the Moon crashing on to the land destroying and killing every living thing. Link manages to stop his plans by calling the Four Giants, at which point Majora releases the Skull Kid from his grasp. After defeating Majora's Mask, Link and the Skull Kid become friends.

The Skull Kid first appears in ''Twilight Princess'' when Link enters the Lost Woods. The imp leads Link through the Lost Woods via a game of hide and seek. The game Skull Kid plays is fairly simple: there is always a clue as to where he is, as the orange glow from Skull Kid's lantern can often point Link in the direction he took off in. His horn, which resembles [[Deku Link]]'s pipes in ''Majora's Mask'', also guides Link to him. When Link gets near him, he hears him playing the familiar Saria's Song, which sets the mood perfectly. During the game of hide and seek, Skull Kid repeatedly summons [[Puppet]]s to attack Link as he chases him, while Skull Kid never attacks Link directly.

Skull Kid makes an appearance in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]] as an [[Assist Trophy]]. He is wearing Majora's Mask. When summoned by a player, he casts one of three effects on the battlefield. One which flips the screen upside-down, inverting all of the fighters' movements; one which causes all fighters to momentarily be given the "clear" effect, making them difficult to see; and one which reverses directional inputs.
