Appearances, Location and Uses
Ocarina of Time
In Ocarina of Time, the Keaton Mask is the first mask Link obtains in the Mask Trading Sequence. It can be sold to the the guard standing outside of the gate to Death Mountain in Kakariko Village for 15 Rupees. However, Link only needs to repay the Happy Mask Salesman 10 Rupees.[1]
The Keaton character is renowned throughout Hyrule as a particularly popular figure, predominately amongst children.[2][3][4][5] However most reactions from adults are of nostalgia, confusion or admiration.[6][7][8] Goron or Zora interactions result in a simple one-line stock answer,[9][10] with the exception of important characters such as King Zora, Darunia and Princess Ruto.[11][12][13]
Majora's Mask
- See also: Reuniting Kafei and Anju
In Majora's Mask, the mask can be used to summon a Keaton. Link must stand in any ring of moving bushes, cut one of the bushes down, then stand there until a Keaton appears. He will ask Link five general knowledge questions about the game, each with three choices. There are a total of thirty questions that could possibly be asked. If Link does not answer the questions correctly, he can try again, but the Keaton can only be summoned once every three-day period [14] If he gets them all correct, the young hero will be awarded with a Piece of Heart.[15]
The Keaton Mask Link receives in Majora's Mask was given to Kafei when he was little by the Man from the Curiosity Shop.[16]
Kafei wears the mask to keep his identity hidden from the residents of Clock Town. The Keaton Mask is obtained by going to Man from the Curiosity Shop in Kafei's hideout, after delivering the Letter to Kafei. It is well hidden, requiring Link to go to Kafei's hideout at 1:00 in the afternoon on the Final Day.
The Wind Waker
In The Wind Waker, the Keaton's Mask appears in a cameo among Carlov's sculptures in the Nintendo Gallery. It can be seen with along with the Bunny Hood, Goron Mask, and the All-Night Mask behind the counter hanging on the wall.
Trivia
- The Keaton Mask shows resemblance to the face of Con from the Kirby series.
- On the third row of the Mask Subscreen, the Keaton Mask (Fox), the Bremen Mask (Falco), the Bunny Hood (Peppy), Don Gero's Mask (Slippy), and the Mask of Scents (Pigma) are said to represent Starfox characters, implying that Nintendo created the appearance of these masks (save for the Keaton Mask and Bunny Hood, both of which appeared in Ocarina of Time) with the sole purpose of hiding an Easter egg in the game itself.
