Skull Kid

The Skull Kid first appears when you enter the Lost Woods, where he 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 you in the direction he took off along with the sound of his horn which resembles Deku Link's pipes in Majora's Mask in both appearance and sound, the song that Skull Kid will play is Saria's Song. During the game of hide and seek Skull Kid will summon four puppets repeatedly to attack Link while he chases him, while Skull Kid never directly attacks Link he will summon the puppets as Link gets close.

When you return later in the game Skull Kid will once again help Link navigate the sacred grove, although this time he shall lead Link to the entrance of the temple of time. His hiding place will be harder to find. Although two things give away his location: the light of his lantern and the sound of his instrument playing Saria's Song. Although the Skull Kid never physically attacks Link, he will summon Puppets to do the job. Every time he is hit in battle, he will summon more puppets, but he can be beaten quickly with the bow and arrows. After defeating him the second time, he will tell Link that was fun and disappear.
