10 3D Zelda Moments That Left You Speechless
6. The Happy Mask Salesman Freaks Out (Majora's Mask)
Without a doubt the most stressful, disturbing, and dark Zelda game Nintendo has to offer, and this moment exemplifies that greatly. You would think, being called “The Happy Mask Salesman', he would be as helpful as anyone could be in Link's struggles to save Termina from destruction.
While he is certainly helpful, as he did teach Link one of the most important tunes in the game, the Song of Healing, which in turn helped him get out of his Deku Scrub form, The Happy Mask Salesman can just as quickly come across as dangerous and frightening.
We see the full extent of his erratic personality when he learns that Link did not retrieve the titular Majora’s Mask for him and then proceeds to pick up Link and shake him wildly, going through a series of extreme facial expressions as he explains the mask’s origins and how dangerous it is in the Skull Kid’s hands. We knew the situation was dire before, but this experience made us never want to upset, or maybe even interact, with The Happy Mask Salesman again.
