I'm crocheting a little Mask Salesman and no one can stop me! >:3

(Also working on another oneshot for him. Will post it here and on AO3)

RU-JA-GUN-CON Au: A smiling man with a bag covered in masks walks up to Ruby and Jaune.

Man:Hello you both seem like good people would you like to buy a mask I have a speical one for you.

(Legend of Zelda Majora Mask: The Majora Mask)

Jaune: A mask? What for?

Happy Mask Salesman: Masks hold great power, don't you think?

Ruby: Do they? I thought they were just something you wear for festival.

Happy Mask Salesman: Oh, not just for festivals. Though, I hear there is a festival being celebrated in a city in another kingdom. I'll be needed there soon. Perhaps you'd like to ease my travel by making a purchase?

Jaune: Well...

Inktober Day 5: The Emperor

Upright: stability, structure, protection, authority, control, practicality, focus, discipline

Reversed: tyrant, domineering, rigid, stubborn, lack of discipline, recklessness

Why is he smiling, a common question to ask of the card. There is much power in the hands of The Emperor, often thought to be in the wrong hands. An unusual effect of the card is no matter how often you spin it, it always appears right side up, making it hard to tell when the card is reversed.

I’d say a tyrant is the end goal of all cult leaders, don’t you think?

Recently i remembered that the Happy Mask Salesman appeared in Oracle of Ages and this just spawned a bunch of ideas and theories that i'd like to just dump here:

aight so, i'm sure we're all familiar with the Zelda timeline, OOT being of course where it splits into three (let's ignore BOTW and TOTK for a moment)

HMS (i'm calling the mask salesman this for simplicity) appears in two timelines The Downfall timeline where the Oracle games take place and The Child timeline where Majora's Mask take place in

the origin of Majora's Mask is shrouded in mystery, but we know that it was created by an ancient tribe, and at some point the HMS heard about it and found it

what if the ancient tribe that created Majora's Mask was from Labrynna, that's why the Happy Mask Salesman is there, HMS doesn't really have that big of a role, he's just... there, being hangry then gives you a mask if you give him food, and nothing else, what if this Mask Shop is just a temporary thing he set up while he was out looking for the mask

which brings me to my next ramble, Majora's mask is still out there, the mask is an ancient item that existed before the timeline split and obviously still existed after it, we see it in the Child timeline where it was rediscovered by the HMS until it was stolen by the skull kid then *insert events of Majora's mask* where it was defeated by the Hero of Time, but what about the other timelines?

in the adult timeline, wherever it was hidden away, it's now most likely at the bottom of the ocean after the world was flooded, HMS probably never found it, heck, he probably died during the flood, the legend of Majora's Mask was forgotten and the mask itself lost to history

but as for the downfall timeline where HMS makes an appearance, well as mentioned before, we saw him WHILE he was still looking for the mask in Labrynna, setting up shop along the way, at some point during or after the events of oracle of ages, he most likely found the mask, i like to think things went normally after that, either staying in Labrynna or leaving going from town to town again, no skull kid to steal the mask that almost causes the apocalypse

or maybe something similar like that DOES happen and he's forced to get help from the Hero of Legend again, maybe some kind of sequel that takes place after Link's awakening (the last game where we play as the Hero of Legend)

but WAIT there's more! i've still got more to yap about, in OOT during the time skip and when Ganon took over Hyrule, HMS was nowhere to be found UNTIL the end credits where we see him dancing, meaning he survived, but what did he do during that time? my idea is that he fled to Labrynna because 1. he's familiar with it because he heard that's where Majora is and 2. it's in general relatively close to Hyrule (i mean Link managed to get there)

after Ganon was defeated he went back to Hyrule and did his little dance but if Ganon won (leading into the downfall timeline) he stays in Labrynna where we see him in Oracle of Ages

alright time to talk about BOTW and TOTK, they're their own timeline, apparently the two games are at the very end of the timeline (doesn't matter which three) it takes place so far into the future and that all the events that happened in previous games are considered myths and legends (really puts the "legend" in "legend of zelda")

but somehow after all that time Majora's Mask still exists, which further proves my idea that "Majora's Mask is still out there"

why is it in Hyrule and not Labrynna? simple, a long time has passed and the mask got moved around a lot by different people including HMS

interestingly Majora's Mask also appears in a Link Between Worlds, which takes place in the downfall timeline but after the events that featured the Hero of Legend

anyways that's about it, thank you for listening to me ramble if you got this far, this isn't really meant to be taken seriously as an actual theory but just a bunch of random ideas and headcanons i came up with, the Zelda timeline is just so fascinating, now that the Hero of the Wild's story is finished the next Zelda could be anything honestly not to mention the movie that's coming at some point, i'd be interested to see them experiment with other genres like BOTW and TOTK, like a side scrolling Zelda Metroidvania, that'd be cool

Something I have noticed by my recent play through of Ocarina of time is that the happy mask salesman seems rather found of pink flowers especially in the orginal 64 game

They still kept this little detail intact in the 3Ds version but more closer to the light bulbs to make space for the masks which I think it's quite silly

It's as if it was important to keep the pink flowers decoration for his shop

tiny hms dump... ignore that theyre both facing left 😭

Information. [OOC]

Hello! I'm Grim. The creator of this blog. This is an ask + roleplaying blog. Here is the source of my icon, genuinely the only place I could find it.

IRL INFO: I'm an adult. I use He/She pronouns. You may be able to deduce that I'm gay. I will be posting things at 5 am. Don't worry about it. This is literally all the average viewer will learn about me. TAGS: OOC: Grim Speaks Important Information/Plot: Key Anon Ask: Faceless Customer Asks from certain blogs will be tagged with: "Customer *blog name*" and just the blog name if I respond OOC

WORLD BUILDING: This Happy Mask Salesman uses He/Him pronouns. He's in his mid/late 30's. He was born and raised in the world of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, and all happenings are almost canon compliant. Currently, the Upheaval has just taken place. His primary goal is to collect masks. He already has quite the collection himself, but will be happy to recieve masks from the masses. Masks have three stats: Value, Ability, and Alignment. There are two kinds of alignments. One kind are rather common, while the other are almost unheard of. Common Alignments include: Forest, Fire, Water, Wind, Lightning, Shadow, Light, and Spirit. Divine Alignments include: Courage, Power, and Wisdom. Masks can have three of these at most. These will be assigned to any masks you give him if you haven't decided them already, although he may have his own ideas of the Masks Alignments. The Ability of the Mask will be influenced by its Alignments. He also has quite the soft spot for music, and will gladly accept instruments and songs. Instruments will still have a Value and Alignment, while Songs have Alignments and Abilities. He does not go by any name, and he prefers it that way. He has a large home in the Akkala Reigon, Northwest of Tarrey Town. Here you'll find the bulk of his collection, and his organ. Its melodies can be heard throughout the region. He has several protections here, although none are obvious. You can also find him near most Stables and Towns, listen for the tune of the Masks moving as he does. He sometimes has visions of worlds he's unfamiliar with. He currently is looking for the most brilliant masks he's ever seen. One so precious and familiar to him, and the other he can only describe as fierce. He's spotted them for just a moment. He'd like to find their owners. If you're confused by any this, stop that. Thanks. (Ask me about it.)

Horsing around 🐴

I hhave a very silly and funny question- XD

Imagine the Happy Mask Salesman has an apprentice. And there's this particular long stretch of traveling between two towns they gotta do. On foot you can't do it in a day, but on horseback you can. You also don't wanna camp out in the night in this area, cause apparently it's dangerous or whatever. So you DO wanna make it to the other town.

Here's the thing: They don't have a horse. But the Salesman does have a Horse Transformation Mask.

You see where this is going? XD

Anyway, here's the question:

This is a purely silly thing that made me laugh when popped up in my head, and I'm just curious to see how others see this. XD
