The '''Happy Mask Salesman''' is a recurring character in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. He travels across [[Hyrule]] and [[Termina]] collecting and selling masks. Some of his masks are very rare and powerful. Many of them can transform [[Link]], and the most famous, the spirit-possessed [[Majora's Mask]], can give anyone who wears it unbelievable power. The Mask Salesman's real name is unknown, and much of him is a total mystery. He has a very unpredictable personality, and will go from happy to extremely angry in seconds. He also seems to be able to do some magic, as is shown in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' when he makes an organ appear, then plays the magical [[Song of Healing]]. | The '''Happy Mask Salesman''' is a recurring character in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]].

The Happy Mask Salesman first appears in ''Ocarina of Time'', where he runs the [[Happy Mask Shop|mask shop]] in the [[Hyrule Castle Town]] [[Market]]. He asks Link to go out and sell his masks, and for every mask he sells he can get a new mask. This is an optional side quest called the [[Happy Mask Side Quest]]. If Link sells all four of the masks that the salesman wanted him too, Link gets to take the [[Mask of Truth]], which allows him to read [[Gossip Stone]]s. | The Happy Mask Salesman first appears in ''Ocarina of Time'', where he runs the [[Happy Mask Shop|mask shop]] in the [[Hyrule Castle Town]] [[Market]].

The Happy Mask Salesman plays a more significant role in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. When Link, [[Deku Link|trapped as a Deku]] finds himself in the [[Clock Tower]] of [[Termina]]'s [[Clock Town]], he is interrupted by the Happy Mask Salesman. The latter offers him a deal - if Link can retrieve the [[Ocarina of Time]] Skull Kid stole, he will help Link use it to return himself to his Hylian self. In return, he wants Link to also get back the "precious mask" that the imp stole from ''him''. However, he claims to be "a very busy fellow" and requires the mask within three days. | The Happy Mask Salesman plays a more significant role in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''.

When Deku Link gets the Ocarina, and turns back time, the Mask Salesman remembers the deal, and teaches Link the [[Song of Healing]], which turns the curse into a [[Deku Mask]] which Link can don and doff at will. However, when finding that Link did not get the mask, he becomes unhinged, and starts shaking Link violently. He then tells Link the story of the mask, [[Majora's Mask]] - about its true power, how the tribe of [[Ancient Ones|ancient ones]] who used it sealed it away, then how he himself became obsessed and went to "went to great lengths to get that legendary mask". With it stolen, he warns that getting it back is crucial to the survival of Termina, and claims to still believe that Link can still get it back. | When Deku Link gets the Ocarina, and turns back time, the Mask Salesman remembers the deal, and teaches Link the [[Song of Healing]], which turns the curse into a [[Deku Mask]] which Link can don and doff at will.
