I'm not an artist: Five masks from Majora’s Mask used in the ritual.

Five masks from Majora’s Mask used in the ritual.

Keaton Mask: The mask of a fox spirit that looks suspiciously like Pikachu. Link uses this mask to summon Keaton, a popular fox spirit who asks Link a series of questions. If he answers them all correctly, he is rewarded with a piece of heart

The fox spirit represents the people’s need to hunt and kill to survive. In the great hunt, one person is chosen as the hunter and wears the visage of the fox. It is believed that how well they hunt and how well they honor the spirits dictates the prosperity of the people in the coming year.


Romani's Mask: Link earns the Romani mask through completing a rather involved series of side-quests that include keeping cows safe from ghosts. The mask signifies Link as an adult, which opens doors closed to him because of his age.

The ram spirit represents life, growth, and the herd’s that feed the people. During the great hunt, one person is selected as the shepherd and wears the visage of the ram. The shepherd must keep the hunter from the people’s herds, both to protect the vital stock of animals, and to force the hunter to pursue more difficult and honorable prey.

The Mask of Life and Death has only been forged once in the history of the people. The two lotteries that select the hunter and the shepherd selected the same person, providing them unbelievable power over the fate of the people during the annual ritual of renewal.

Bremen Mask: Link is given this mask if he patiently listens to an organ-grinder's admission of guilt. With this mask, Link can lead a marching troupe of chicks and force them to rapidly mature into adult cuccos.

Whenever a new member is inducted into the Parliament of Night all living members are required to gather in the secret chambers to meet the inductee. All members are careful to never reveal their true identities at the clandestine gathering to ensure that no one person could identify the other members. Only through such sustained vigilance has the Parliament been able to persist through the ages.

Bunny Hood: This hood increases Link’s running speed and jumping distance when worn. It can be sold to the Running Man for literally as much money as Link can carry as part of the mask trading sequence. As a side note, the Bunny Hood also has physics applied to the bunny ears. 

Mystics and oracles have innumerable ways to explore the infinite possibilities of the future. Some seek to invoke the power of beings that have traveled through time by wearing their image while performing divination. The image of the rabbit represents a poorly known being that has guided many travelers along the twisting pathways of time.

Thank you for stopping by for more masks that aren’t Majora’s Mask. 

Please use my work personally however you see fit, but please do not profit off my efforts without my consent. 

Go out there and be excellent to everyone.

  2. Those first three masks are direct drawings of Kindred's Masks from League of Legends and there are some amazing prop makers out there creating amazing real life artifacts. If you make one, you should definitely share it with that community.
