MY RABBIT WENT TO HIS TOILET. HE'S STARTING TO FEEL BETTER!

Well now that you did the most important zelda characters. I'm curious about what you think the Happy Mask Salesman is.

I would tell you, but you would never believe me.

That is, he's a Muse of Time.

The common theories that I've heard about Majora's Mask, and the ones that makes sense, is that it is either the story of Link growing up, or the story of Link dying. He enters the words after his quest is done and finds himself taken to a strange new world bizarrely similar to the one he left behind. And throughout this quest, he has to learn many lessons, try on many identities, before finally facing the darkness within him and discovering who that is. It works as a metaphor for both: either he has seen the world shifted around him so much it becomes a new place, or he is going to the after life and being judged for who he is.

Either way, the game is about progression. And who takes no action but to put it all in place? The Happy Mask Man. He is an avatar of death, he stands there, not acting, not creating, but setting forth this necessary destruction so that things may continue and go forth.
