'''Majora's Mask''' is an evil, heart-shaped mask with reality-bending powers and a will of its own. It is the titular object and the main antagonist of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]'', and is also featured in the game's logo. For most of the game, Majora's Mask possesses the [[Skull Kid]]. Majora's Mask is dark purple, and besides having some tribal markings, it is painted dark red paint around its eyes and at its bottom. Majora's Mask has glowing, orange eyes with light green pupils. It also has yellow spikes on its sides with points fading into other colors. Majora's Mask was used in an ancient tribe's hexing rituals and was later sealed away because of its evil magic.

Besides ''The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask'', Majora's Mask has made a few minor appearances in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, as a purchasable item in a few ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing (series)|Animal Crossing]]'' games and, similarly, in ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' and its [[reissue]]s.

==History==
===''The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask''===
[[File:Majora's Mask boss fight TLOZMM.jpg|thumb|Link fighting Majora's Mask]]
In ''The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask'', Majora's Mask is an accursed item from legend that is said to have been used by an ancient tribe in its hexing rituals. The legend goes on to say that an evil and wicked power comes upon the one who wears the mask. The troubles caused by Majora's Mask were so great that the people of old hid the mask forever, preventing its misuse. The tribe eventually died out, and the true nature of the mask was no longer known.

The [[Happy Mask Salesman]] sets out on a quest to find the mask. He goes to great lengths to find the legendary mask and eventually obtains it. As the he continues his travels across the world, [[Skull Kid]], who enjoys playing pranks, knocked out the salesman and began looking at his bag of masks. He eventually found Majora's Mask and began wearing it, influencing his mischievous nature into becoming more maniacal. The mask eventually consumed him entirely, making him evil.

Majora's Mask forces Skull Kid to manipulate the [[Moon]]. The moon is taken out of its orbit and is set to crash into [[Termina]]. Near the end of his journey, [[Link]] manages to save Termina by calling on the [[Four Giants]] to stop the Moon from crashing into the world. At this, Majora's Mask abandons Skull Kid and takes control of the moon itself, continuing to push against the giants. Link and [[Tatl]] follow it into the moon for a final battle.

In the final battle, Majora takes on three forms, the first one being Majora's Mask itself. In the first phase, Majora's Mask is fought, during which its spikes begin to move and thin tentacle-like objects grow from its back. Majora's Mask sometimes uses its tentacles in a whirling attack. After taking a certain amount of damage, Majora's Mask summons the four boss masks to help it in the battle. To defeat the mask, Link must shoot a projectile weapon from behind Majora's Mask, causing it the collapse and giving Link the opportunity to strike Majora's Mask with his [[sword]]. However, it must be a strike to the back to stun it. After Majora's Mask has taken enough damage and shoot energy beams at Link. With his [[Mirror Shield]], Link can deflect the beams back at Majora's Mask. Even after Majora's Mask is defeated, it is still seen as being the base for Majora's second form, Majora's Incarnation.

Once its final form, [[Majora's Wrath]], is destroyed, the evil power leaves the mask, leaving it harmless and inert. The Happy Mask Salesman reacquires it in [[Termina Field]] before continuing his travels.

===''The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask'' manga===
In the ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (manga)|The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]'' manga by [[Akira Himekawa]], the backstory to Majora's Mask is explained.  In this story, Majora's Mask is revealed to have been made from the armor of a legendary beast named [[Majora]] that lived around ten million years before the events of Majora's Mask. The land in which Majora lived was not moving, but not dead either, nor had it stopped. According to a myth devised "by the humans themselves," the armor worn by Majora was supposed to grant wishes and hold a great and terrible power. Warriors, adventurers, soldiers, men, and women sought after Majora for its armor, but all of them were killed by Majora.

After centuries of a solitary existence, a human, disguised as a musician bearing a slight resemblance to the Fierce Deity, approached Majora, and offered it eternal rest, not by fighting, but by playing music. As the human beat a drum he carried with him, "making time move", Majora began to dance for three days, and on the fourth day, died. All that remained of the beast was his armor. From the armor, the human carved Majora's Mask; by doing so, all of Majora's power was sealed in the mask. The human believed that by creating the mask, Majora's power would no longer be a threat. He threw the mask in an abyss and it was lost for centuries. The three days of dancing followed by death parallels the three days before the Moon collides with Termina and destroys it.
