'''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.

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. without the fierce Deity mask, The Zora Mask can be useful for getting it's back until the bosses are summoned as at that point Majora's mask will begin using it's fire or light beams, if these hit Link in the Zora form this will end the battle, it's back is its weak point and it is suggested to slash.

This form is only seen during the boss battle. Majora grows a pair of legs and arms. This form is very bizarre since Majora acts feminine and makes strange noises at the same time. It really shows you just how psychotic the demon is. Majora runs around in circles and fires energy balls at Link. The best way to deal with him is to use the Fierce Deity's Mask. However, other alternatives exist, such as [[Zora Mask]], [[Great Fairy's Sword]], etc.

This is the final form of Majora. It too is only seen during the boss battle. After the Incarnation is defeated, Majora grows more muscle, and a demon-like head and tentacles that he uses like whips.

The mask makes a reappearance in the first open-world Zelda game. It has a base defense of 1, and was released as a part of the first DLC expansion for the game: 'The Master Trials'. Its disguise ability can be used to set up devastating attacks or avoid some combat entirely. It can be neither dyed nor upgraded.

Majora's Mask works the same way as in ''Breath of the Wild''. It is found in a [[Treasure Chest]] in the [[Floating Colosseum]], locked behind a veil of [[gloom]]. Dispelling the gloom to obtain it requires defeating five gloom-wreathed [[Lynel]]s in a gauntlet of increasing order of difficulty - a standard (red-maned) Lynel, a [[Blue-Maned Lynel]], a [[White-Maned Lynel]], a [[Silver Lynel]] and an ''armored'' Silver Lynel.
