In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]'', Skull Kid is now depicted as an individual, with his species being vaguely defined as an "imp." His backstory is told in the book that [[Anju's Grandmother]] reads. Despite his childish appearance and mannerisms, Skull Kid is an ancient being, having been friends with the [[Four Giants]] before they created [[Termina]]. After the Four Giants said they would become dormant in wait of times of need, Skull Kid felt abandoned, and took out his anger by attacking the people of Termina, causing them to summon the giants again. Angry at the Skull Kid, the giants forced him to leave Termina under the threat of being torn to pieces. He departs for "the heavens," having realized that he now had lost his friends for real. | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]'', Skull Kid is now depicted as an individual, with his species being vaguely defined as an "imp."

His face now resembles the Moon's in ''Majora's Mask'', and his flute now has several horn-like attachments on the end, making it sound like the [[Deku Pipes]]. He summons [[Puppet]]s to attack anyone (including animals) who enters the grove while he warps between locations in a sort-of game of hide-and-seek. Due to how the grove's paths between sections appear and disappear, there is commonly only one way to reach Skull Kid, and every time he is found and attacked, he leads Link deeper and deeper into the wood, eventually leading to a battle in a circular arena. Once he is attacked enough, he will disappear and thank Link for playing with him. Skull Kid is fought this way twice, first as [[Wolf Link]], leading him to the [[Master Sword]], and the second time as normal Link able to shift between forms, leading to accessing the [[Temple of Time]] dungeon. | ||

Both this and his English name are likely a reference to the Skull Mask, thus making his name make no sense in later games. His pale redesign in ''Twilight Princess'' may have been to rectify this. | ||
