After Majora is defeated, the Skull Kid is seen to have reverted back to his normal disposition. He expresses his guilt to the Four Giants, whom he was close with long ago, and is shocked to find that they still consider him a friend. It appears that Tatl and Tael have forgiven him, and he shows gratitude toward Link for rescuing him from the clutches of the mask. He asks to be Link's friend, and a scene following the credits depicts a carving on a tree stump of the two smiling together. | After Majora is defeated, the Skull Kid is seen to have reverted back to his normal disposition.
