Chapter 5 – Mask Museum
Link ran along the grass outside of the Temple of Time. He passed up the four
gossip stones and down into the market. He had to scale the fence to get back into the
market. Upon entering, he remembered the Happy Mask Shop. It turned out he was
standing right beside it. He looked at it and thought, "I haven't seen the Happy Mask
Salesman since Termina...did he come back here?"
Link noticed that the building was much larger than it had been in the past. Did he
renovate or something? Link read a huge sign above the door. It read: HAPPY MASK
MUSEUM. He turned the shop into a museum?! What was he thinking? He could make
a fortune off of his masks! Without further adieu, Link walked in to the museum.
Masks were scattered all over in different places, all on pedestals and surrounded in glass.
Some of the masks were the same masks that he had when he was in Termina. Link looked
over to the counter and saw the Happy Mask Salesman.
"Hey, Mr. Happy Mask Salesman!!" said Link.
"Oh, Oh, hello, Mr. Link!" replied the salesman, "When did you return?"
"Probably the same time you did...what happened to the shop?"
"Oh, I decided to shut it down. Buying masks just isn't as popular as it used to be. I guess all this changed when we were in Termina."
"How many masks are out there in the museum?"
"249! Counted them all myself!"
"Wow, that's a lot of masks."
"I'm sure you'll find some of them familiar."
"What about Majora's Mask? Is it out there?"
"Yes, it is, but it is okay now because the evil has left the mask. There's also an interesting description of it on the plaque in front of it."
"Isn't this kind of risky? It looks like the masks could be easily stolen."
"Not to worry, the glass is very strong. But if something DOES happen, I have a huge security system."
"Mind if I look around?"
"Go right ahead, boy!"
Link walked over into the exhibits and made his way toward Majora's Mask. The mask seemed to be staring at him. He looked down and read the plaque:
MAJORA'S MASK:
Remains of the Incarnated Monster, Majora. One of the most dangerous and powerful
masks of all time. It's been taken into the wrong hands before, and has the power to
possess the entire body. The evil left the mask after the defeat of Majora, in the land
of Termina. The mask is to remain secure and locked up, so it can never go into the
hands of evil ever again.
Link stopped there and walked over to see some other masks. His eye caught another mask on the other side and he ran over to it.
THE COUPLE'S MASK:
Symbolic of a newlywed couple. Created by combining two other masks: The Sun's
Mask and the Moon's Mask. Worn every time a couple unites. Originally worn by
Anju and Kafei of Termina. Wear it on your wedding!
All of the sudden Link saw a very interesting mask he hand never seen before, right beside the Couple's Mask. At first he thought it was a mirror, but it turned out to me a mask of HIM!
THE HERO'S MASK:
Memorial of the Legendary Hero of Time, Link. Saved Hyrule from the torment of
Ganondorf, the Evil King. Original Mask. Counterfeits can be bought at the counter.
"MR. HAPPY MASK SALESMAN!!!" Link exclaimed.
"Yes, yes! What is it, Mr. Link?" asked the salesman.
"Since when has THIS mask been around?!"
"Since you left Hyrule two years ago."
"Whose idea was it?"
"Saria's and Zelda's."
"Well, what a surprise it was to see it."
"If I were you I'd be proud. It is an honor."
"It's just random."
The Happy Mask Salesman chuckled.
"Well, I need to get back to work, Mr. Link."
"Okay."
The salesman goes back over to the counter and Link continues to look at masks. Another
certain one stuck out aside from the others. Link ran over to look at it. He knows he has seen
this mask before, and still owns, because it was the one mask he got for giving away all his other
non-transformation masks.
FIERCE DEITY'S MASK:
Symbolic of the Legendary Fierce Deity. The most powerful warrior who ever existed.
Donning the mask will transform your body into a replicated version of Fierce Deity's.
This mask is the rarest mask in the world and is one of only three masks. The other
two are owned by Fierce Deity himself and the Hero of Time. Fierce Deity's Spirit has
been claimed to have been seen in various parts of Termina, during the Carnival of
Time. Fierce Deity has only been claimed seen once in Hyrule. It was on the day
Ganondorf was defeated. Otherwise, sight of him is extremely rare. DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO STEAL – EXTRA HIGH SECURITY!!!
"Wow, I never knew I owned one of the most precious and rarest masks in the !" Link said to himself, "I'm getting tired of this...I'm gonna go outside and explore or something."
Link walked outside into the market. To his surprise, nighttime had already fallen.
