Happy Mask Salesman is a deity

To the second question; No. We're given obvious sources for some of the collectibles.

^Thats true Ogrum, but the Mask Salesman knows the source of all the masks. Wear any mask and speak to him; he will always give you details on it's origin or relevance. Infact, if we pretend that he is a representation of Miyamoto for a moment, it's almost as though he is telling you the 'moral' of each mask. For example;

That's the Gibdo Mask, isn't it? That is a fine mask. It is filled with the love of a father and child.

That's Kafei's Mask, isn't it? The worry of a concerned mother is expressed quite well in that mask.

That's the Couple's Mask, isn't it? That is truly a very fine mask. It's overflowing with powerful feelings of love and gratitude.

That's Kamaro's Mask, isn't it? That is a fine mask. It is filled with the joy a teacher has in finding a good student.

Not only does the mask salesman apparently know the origin of these masks, he also conveys any meaningful circumstances surrounding them.

Some disregard this, but the children within the Moon do appear exactly like young versions of the Mask Salesman. There must be some form of importance in that. But the question of wether the salesman is a 'deity' is near useless; it doesnt explain his nature, his intentions, or his relevance to the plot.

But there's just something about the happy mask salesman that is just sort of, mysterious. Wouldn't you agree?

Well I agree.And the song of healing....Is somehow powerful and mysterious...

Yes, that song of healing is really, eerie.

Majora's Mask is based of a real incident that happened when Miyamoto was a young back-packer. A scarecrow jumped him and stole his favourite deck of trading cards and then a little boy with green clothes appeared and got them back for him. He was so happy that when he became a video game producer he moddled Link after this boy.

Curious how a deity was beat by an imp...

Wait, now Skull Kid is a deity, too? Lol.

Potent col is on mushrooms. That's all.

waha he said mushrooms.lol
the mask salesman is not a deity, i rather think of him as a gifted hylian, as he seems to have great powers.

^You make an arguable point. That sounds very logical. However, Zeldapedia (zelda.wikia.com) disagrees with you:

The Happy Mask Salesman's mystical powers and vast amount of knowledge could denote that the Happy Mask Salesman is neither a Hyrulean or a Terminan, but rather, a Deity or the earthly avatar of one, or in the very least a higher being not of Terminan or Hyrulean soil. The Salesman can, as previously noted, make items, as well as himself appear and disappear at will. These attributes combined with the aforementioned facts makes a case for the Happy Mask Salesman in truth being a god, perhaps one who guides those who are lost.
He also may have limited control over the flow of time, as when Link is inside the Clock Tower, time doesn't pass; in fact, the in-game clock disappears entirely.

All of that seems logical.

What makes Zeldapedia more reliable than anyone else? That wiki is compiled by fans such as ourselves.

It's more reliable than Zelda Wiki. Zelda Wiki actually has articles on Zelda Universe.

What the hell does that have to do with anything? It's a Zelda COMMUNITY Wiki, so it also has articles on the COMMUNITY.

Besides, Zelda Wiki started on ZU and is run by the same guy. To not mention it would be stupid.

Zeldapedia more reliable than Zelda Wiki, lol!

What if skull kid is really a deity?I mean he still lives in TP and he tells Link that he has "the same smell as the fairy kid who taught me that song in the woods..." which is a reference to Ocarina of Time. Also does that mean that the skull kid from MM=OoT?

That wouldn't make him a diety, just long-living or immortal.

You're right but why is it the same Skull kid in MM?Not just a counterpart ?

It could be the same one from MM, and if it is that means he's either immortal of has a long life. If it's not the same Skull Kid then it doesn't matter

No,no.I mean how does he know Link in MM and,other characters that are counterparts from hylians don't recognize him?

I'm not following : /
Someone want to help me out? >.<
