The Happy Mask Salesman is one of the creepiest characters in The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask—which is saying something, considering it’s the spookiest Zelda game of them all. Interestingly, he also appeared in Ocarina of Time, though in a much less notable role.

In Majora’s Mask, he is technically the owner of the titular mask and becomes extremely upset when Skull Kid steals it from him. For some inexplicable reason, he is unable to retrieve it himself, so he entrusts a random young boy in green clothing to do the job for him.

He is also the one who frees Link from the curse of the Deku body. I forget what favor you had to complete for him, but why couldn’t he have just done it himself? If he wanted his demonic mask back so badly, wouldn’t it have been easier for Link, as a human, to retrieve it?

In the end, he is not met with a terrible fate and ultimately reclaims Majora’s Mask—supposedly now devoid of its evil power. But that raises the question: why didn’t the mask take control of him the first time? If anything, this unsettling character could have caused far more destruction than Skull Kid ever did.
