I'm a guy who just enjoys writing stuff and the sensation of typing. I got into Zelda probably a lot later than most people here and my favorite is OoT. Zelda Dungeon has since been my preferred choice for walkthroughs, so I was naturally drawn to its wiki whenever I needed more info on something. I noticed that a lot of articles could use some work, so I decided to give back a bit.
I'm new to editing so please be nice to me!!

Skull Kids are recurring characters in The Legend of Zelda series that first appeared in Ocarina of Time. It is believed that travelers whom become stranded in the Lost Woods are transformed into Skull Kids, and it is this area that they are primarily resident to. They are typically very childish in nature, similar to the Kokiri, and are often friendly with those of an equal naivete. Skull Kids are very distrustful towards most adults, however, and are known for playing tricks on those that they encounter.
Majora's Mask features the most notable of all Skull Kids, as he assumes the role of main antogonist. He is possessed by the titular Majora's Mask, granting him immense power, but also warping his mind and judgement. The Skull Kid's actions plunge all of Termina into a state of chaos, and, additionally, incurs the land's destruction by way of setting the Moon on course to collide into it.
Ocarina of Time
Skull Kids first debuted in Ocarina of Time, in which there are three individuals, and can be encountered in the Lost Woods. They are playful creatures that each possess a penchant for playing the flute, and Link is able to befriend them if he is in his child form. The Skull Kid residing near the forest's entrance will offer to buy the Skull Mask from Link, and, moreover, will award him a Piece of Heart if Link performs Saria's Song. Further into the forest, a pair of Skull Kids will award Link a second Piece of Heart if he successfully memorizes their song and plays it back to them. Though random, this song always consists of eight notes.
If Link happens upon Skull Kids when he is an adult, they will be hostile. They attack with their flutes by way of spitting projectiles towards Link, and are immune to all weaponry aside from his sword of choice. Skull Kids are tricky opponents in that they are able to instantly transpose themselves into different positions around Link's vicinity, making them very unpredictable. When defeated, they yield an Orange Rupee, holding a valuation of two-hundred, the same as the Huge Rupee. Skull Kids are the only means of obtaining Orange Rupees in Ocarina of Time.
Majora's Mask

Majora's Mask prominently features an individual simply known as "Skull Kid." He is implied to have met Link during his quest in Ocarina of Time, the very same Skull Kid who had requested a performance of Saria's Song from him. The Skull Kid steals Majora's Mask from the Happy Mask Salesman and is promptly corrupted by its power. Some time after, he ambushes Link in the Lost Woods with his fairy friends, Tatl and Tael, intending to steal his things. Link pursues him and soon finds himself in Termina.
The Skull Kid begins to act very erratically once Link meets him again in Termina, atop the Clock Tower. He treats Tatl and Tael very harshly, estranging the both of them, and resulting in Tatl officially joining forces with Link. Traveling around Termina, it is apparent that the Skull Kid is the causation of many of the land's troubles. Various characters make mention of the Skull Kid's mischief, and it is through him that Majora's Mask provokes the Moon's swift oncoming toward Termina. After Link dispatches the evil within Termina's four temples, he confronts the Skull Kid again and plays Oath to Order, summoning the Four Giants whom prevent the Moon's collision with the land. Majora's Mask then separates from Skull Kid, who reverts back to his normal disposition.
Relation to the Four Giants

After the defeat of Majora, Skull Kid
The Skull Kid in Majora's Mask is known to be the same Skull Kid for whom Link played Saria's Song in Ocarina of Time; this is implied at the end of the game when the Skull Kid says that Link has the same smell as the fairy child that taught him a song in the woods.
Skull Kid had become friends with the Four Giants that created the four lands of Termina: swamp to the south, mountains to the north, oceans to the west, and canyons to the east. When they finished, they started to leave, but the Skull Kid tried to stop them. After they left, he started causing trouble with two fairies: Tael and his sister Tatl. The Skull Kid desired power, so he stole Majora's Mask from the Happy Mask Salesman. Skull Kid became possessed by Majora's Mask and became its puppet, wreaking havoc among the natives of Termina and attempting to bring the Moon crashing on to the land destroying and killing every living thing. Link manages to stop his plans by calling the Four Giants, at which point Majora releases the Skull Kid from his grasp. After defeating Majora's Mask, Link and the Skull Kid become friends.
Twilight Princess
The Skull Kid first appears in Twilight Princess when Link enters the Sacred Grove. The imp leads Link through the Sacred Grove via a game of hide-and-seek. The game Skull Kid plays is fairly simple: there is always a clue as to where he is, as the orange glow from Skull Kid's lantern can often point Link in the direction he took off in. His horn, which resembles Deku Link's pipes in Majora's Mask, also guides Link to him. When Link gets near him, he hears him playing the familiar Saria's Song, which sets the mood perfectly. During the game of hide-and-seek, Skull Kid repeatedly summons Puppets to attack Link as he chases him, while Skull Kid never attacks Link directly.
Shooting Skull Kid with an arrow
Preparing to attack Skull Kid
When Link returns later in the game, Skull Kid once again helps Link navigate the Sacred Grove, although this time, he leads Link to the entrance of the Temple of Time. This time around, his hiding place is harder to find. Two things give away his location: the light of his lantern and the sound of his instrument playing Saria's Song. Again, the Skull Kid never physically attacks Link, though he summons Puppets to do the job. Every time he is hit in battle, he summons more Puppets, but he can be beaten quickly with the bow and arrows. After defeating him the second time, he tells Link that it was fun and then disappears.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U
Skull Kid makes an appearance in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U as an Assist Trophy. He is wearing Majora's Mask. When summoned by a player, he casts one of three effects on the battlefield. One which flips the screen upside-down, inverting all of the fighters' movements; one which causes all fighters to momentarily be given the "clear" effect, making them difficult to see; and one which reverses directional inputs.
Hyrule Warriors
