-The '''Happy Mask Salesman''' is a recurring character in the ''Legend of Zelda'' series.  He travels [[Hyrule]] and [[Termina]] collecting and selling masks.  Some of his masks are very rare and powerful.  Many of them can transform [[Link]], and the most famous, the spirit-possessed [[Majora's Mask]], can give anyone who wears it unbelievable power.  The Mask Salesman's real name is unknown, and much of him is a total mystery.  He has a very unpredictable personality, and will go from happy to extremely angry in seconds.  He also seems to be able to do some magic, as is shown in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' when he makes an organ appear, then plays the magical [[Song of Healing]].

-==Appearances==
+==''Ocarina of Time''==
+The Happy Mask Salesman first appears in ''Ocarina of Time'', where he runs the [[Happy Mask Shop|mask shop]] in the [[Castle Town|Hyrule Castle Town]] [[Market]]. He asks [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] to go out and sell his masks, and for every mask he sells he can get a new mask. This is an optional side quest called the [[Happy Mask Side Quest]]. If Link sells all four of the masks that the salesman wanted him too, Link gets to take the [[Mask of Truth]], which allows him to read [[Gossip Stone]]s.
-===Ocarina of Time===
+The Mask Salesman is never seen outside his shop in this game, and it is unknown where he goes after the seven years when [[Ganon]]dorf takes over. However, he does appear at the party at [[Lon Lon Ranch]] at the end of the game.
-The Happy Mask Salesman first appears in ''Ocarina of Time'', where he runs a simple mask shop in [[Castle Town]].  He asks Link to go out and sell his masks, and for every mask he sells he can get a new mask.  This is an optional side quest called the [[Happy Mask Side Quest]].  If Link sells all four of the masks that the salesman wanted him too, Link gets to take the [[Mask of Truth]], which allows him to read [[Gossip Stone]]s.
+==''Majora's Mask''==
+The Happy Mask Salesman plays a more significant role in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. When [[Link (Ocarina of Time)#Majora's Mask|Link]], [[Deku Link|trapped as a Deku]] finds himself in the [[Clock Tower]] of [[Termina]]'s [[Clock Town]], he is interrupted by the Happy Mask Salesman. The latter offers him a deal - if Link can retrieve the [[Ocarina of Time]] Skull Kid stole, he will help Link use it to return himself to his Hylian self. In return, he wants Link to also get back the "precious mask" that the imp stole from ''him''. However, he claims to be "a very busy fellow" and requires the mask within three days.
-The Mask Salesman is never seen outside of his shop in this game, and it is unknown where he goes after the seven years when [[Ganon|Ganondorf]] takes over.
+When Deku Link gets the Ocarina, and turns back time, the Mask Salesman remembers the deal, and teaches Link the [[Song of Healing]], which turns the curse into a [[Deku Mask]] which Link can don and doff at will. However, when finding that Link did not get the mask, he becomes unhinged, and starts shaking Link violently. He then tells Link the story of the mask, [[Majora's Mask]] - about its true power, how the tribe of [[Ancient Ones|ancient ones]] who used it sealed it away, then how he himself became obsessed and went to "went to great lengths to get that legendary mask". With it stolen, he warns that getting it back is crucial to the survival of Termina, and claims to still believe that Link can still get it back.
-===Majora's Mask===
+He remains in the Clock Tower for the remainder of the game, and will comment on the various masks Link obtains if shown them. In the closing cutscene, he appears retrieving the now powerless Majora's Mask, and disappears with it after saying some parting words to Link.
-The Happy Mask Salesman is a much more important character that plays a bigger role in ''Majora's Mask''.  [[Link]] first encounters him beneath [[Clock Town]], where he tells Link about how the [[Skull Kid]] took his mask, and asks him to get it back.  He also says that if Link can get his Ocarina back, he can teach him a song that will turn him back into his normal form (Link was currently in the form of [[Deku Link]]).  Apparently, he only has three days to stay in Clock Town, so he needs Link to retrieve it before then.
+The Happy Mask Salesman is somewhat of a disturbing character in that he is perpetually smiling (except for one small instance), has sudden mood swings, and seems to change his position without having to move. When the [[Moon]] crashes into [[Termina]], and the game is over, you hear the chuckle of the mask salesman, and the words:
-Link retrieves his Ocarina during the night of the final day, but fails to get the Mask.  The Mask Salesman teaches him the Song of Healing, but after learning Link failed to obtain the mask, he becomes very angry, and starts shaking Link violently. He reveals the story of the mask, telling about its true power, and how getting it back is crucial to the survival of Termina.
