Wasn't that last chapter weird? Remember, I'm giving a cameo to anyone who can give me a name for Link's brother that's better than Tael. I might even let you come up with the type of character you are... My e-mail and IM are in my profile, so send in those names!

Chapter 24
Day Nine: Morning
Temple of Time
While Link had forgotten about the masks the night before, he couldn't get them off his mind the next morning. He tried looking for the Happy Mask Man, but all that remained of his old shop was ruins. Link figured he would never find him here, but if he went to Termina, he just might catch him in the Clock Tower. Link returned the Master Sword and, focusing on Termina, re-opened the warp to the Lost Woods. He ran to the Clock Tower as fast as he could.
"Mr. Salesman, I've been looking everywhere for you! I need to ask you about these three masks." Link quickly produced the Hero's, Brother's, and Fierce Deity Masks.
"These are some interesting masks. This one, the Fierce Deity Mask. This was created when a man, one of your ancestors, I think, came across great power and wished himself to be sealed in a mask, where he could do no harm. As you surely know, it transforms you into a powerful Oni, with all of your ancestor's magic.
"The Hero's Mask and Brother's Mask were created when you used a magic gauntlet to create a brother for yourself. They will only work when worn by you and Tael. If the Brother's Mask is ever placed on your face while the Hero's Mask is on your brother's, an effect will be created similar to the one that created this mask, which I found in the woods on my way here. Somehow, it got sent back in time seven years when you first used the gauntlet." The man produced a mask that gave Link chills. It was a perfect blend of Malon and Zelda's faces.
"This is the Mask of Wishes. As long as this mask is in existence, Malon and Zelda's lives will be somehow intertwined. When this mask is put on, the girls will cross paths and be forced to join each other's company until the mask is removed, although neither will sense it. You should keep this with you. I would suggest that you destroy the two masks, but there is no way to destroy a mask such as these. When you have defeated the evil Ganondorf, take some of the remaining ashes and mix them with this powder. Sprinkle it on the two masks, and they will become one, their magic will be sealed away forever, and a pleasant surprise awaits. Beware, though, for if you don the masks, you will not be able to remove them until the time is right for them to be sealed. I know you are near the end of your quest, but an interruption such as this would not be good for you right now. Use this warp to return to the Temple of Time, and may the goddesses protect you." Link stepped through the warp and retrieved the Master Sword.
Yeah, most of this is just rambling concerning the masks. I'm sorry, but it was necessary. I'll make the next chapter as juicy as I can! Speaking of which, I have to get started on it right now, so you all are spared the post chapter rant!
