Sakon the Thief is a character in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask and is, as his name indicates, a thief. Sakon skips everywhere, is bald and always wears strangely plain clothing. Suspicious...
Destructible
Yes, Sakon seems to be the only character in Zelda history that is capable of being slain by Link. In Majora's Mask, when Sakon steals the Old Lady from the Bomb Shop's bag of Bombs in North Clock Town, Link can fire a projectile to explode and destroy the thief along with the explosive contents of the bag. This will make it impossible for Link to complete any sidequests involving Sakon in the Three Day Cycle.
Ocarina of Time
"Huff huff! I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date!"
Although Sakon is not interacted with in any major way in this game, but can be seen lollygagging about Hyrule Castle Town. He is never on time for any appointments he makes, but that's probably because he skips everywhere.
Majora's Mask
"I'm not doing anything suspicious.. Really!"
Bomb Bag Theft
Sakon plays a much larger role in this game than he does in Ocarina of Time. On the Night of the First Day, Sakon attempts to steal a bag of Bombs from the Old Lady from the Bomb Shop. If Link slices at the bag instead of striking it with a projectile, it will cause Sakon to eventually drop the bag and the hero will be given the Blast Mask as a token of gratitude.
Anju and Kafei
Sakon plays an integral role in the Anju and Kafei quest, serving as a sort of antagonist.
Kafei and Anju are nearing their wedding day, but the Skull Kid (under the influence of Majora) cursed Kafei so that he appears as a mere child. Seeking to be cleansed of this curse, Kafei travels to the Great Fairy in North Clock Town. Unfortunately, he gets one-half of the Couple's Mask, the Sun's Mask, stolen from him by Sakon. The other half is the Moon's Mask, which Anju possesses.
Not being able to face his love without the mask, he the Man from the Curiosity Shop allows Kafei to live in the Backroom of the Curiosity Shop near the Laundry Pool. Kafei uses his time to spy on the customers of the shop, hoping eventually that he'll catch Sakon there and follow him back to his base in Ikana Canyon. Eventually Kafei does spot Sakon and follows him, urging Link to meet him in Ikana Canyon on the Night of the Final Day.
Sakon sets up a complex security system to stop Link and Kafei from obtaining the Sun's Mask in the hideout. If the two are successful in retrieving the mask, all is well and the Sun's Mask and Moon's Mask unite to form the Couple's Mask.
