Seriously, think about it. Majora gives you the Fierce Diety's Mask, which houses the spirit of an incredibly powerful immortal god-like demon who carries a giant magical sword that shoots powerful energy blasts, and expected to win.
Majora might not be stupid, he just might be arrogant. Maybe since he is a mask and so is the fierce deity, he might not have realized its raw strength and ability. Think about it, you play games at a higher difficulty just to test yourself and come out victorious. Is that any different from what Majora was doing? Sure, that was real life for him and games are just - well games - for us. It is still technicallity.Seriously, think about it.

Ever thought maybe Majora wanted to be stopped? I personaly wouldn't want to live Majora's life. Think about it. He is completely overpowerful and has no real purpose, especially after being cast aside by the ancient tribe who felt he was too powerful to be of use. Yeah, maybe he wanted to reek havoc on Termina becuase he was evil and was angry about the whole deal, but that doesn't mean he had any will to live or desire to continue. Really, think about it. He was going to bring the moon down on top of the clock tower, crushing the world, the moon, and him. The only reason it stopped was becuase Link called the giants and stopped it. So, plan B was have this kid destroy him.
And as to the statement about the fight being all a game to him. I think it absolutely was. Everything Majora and Skull Kid did together had somewhat of a playful nature to it. All skull kid wants is a friend and someone to play with. I think this legitimately came out in his actions but Majora made them malicious and 'evil' acts.
You may disagree with me harshly, but don't you think it could be a possibility?
I remember reading somewhere that the Fierce Deity Mask may have been more evil than Majora himself. So, Majora may have tried to just destroy the FD Mask because it was more evil than himself. So, I think this falls under overconfident.
I don't think it's that Majora is giving it to you, it's that getting that mask is a reward for collecting all of the masks and giving them up. However, the question is valid. I would assume he is overconfident. I mean, he was bringing down a giant moon with a freaky nose bigger than Ganondorf's. There's no way he would think he could be defeated.
I see Majora as a deranged demon of destruction and chaos with the mentality of an insane and disturbed child. You know how kids don't really care if what they're playing with is dangerous as long as it's fun? That's how I see Majora, only 1000x worse. I think he seeks out destruction and fun and destruction FOR fun, and to him everything he does is a game in itself. The Fierce Deity mask is super powerful, also capable of great destruction. I'm not sure if Majora went into his "game" with the intent of "winning" so much as just to cause some chaos and dance around in the wake of destruction, like a kid who doesn't know what he's getting into but does it anyways just for the fun of it. I mean, if he really is deranged and insane, I doubt he'd take the FD mask's ability to destroy him while in Link's possession into account when initiating a game.
That makes sense. Majora said, when giving Link the Feirce Diety's Mask, "Let's play good guys and bad guys. You can be the bad guy.", so what you're saying here is actually suppoerted by what happens in the game itself.
