The Happy Mask Shop in Zelda Ocarina of Time has you go out to find buyers and work out who wants the masks they sell. This side quest is basically about being a middle man for the Happy Mask Shop and finding the locations of buyers for the different masks that they sell, working out who wants a Bunny Hood or a Spooky Mask respectively. Each time you sell a mask you'll get some money for it, though the Mask Seller will then sting you for a certain amount of Rupees too, which varies whether you'll make a profit or not.
Keep in mind that the Switch 2 version is the same as the original, in that the Happy Mask Shop and its quest won't be available in OoT until you open the passage to Goron City. Fortunately, the guard who opens the passage will actually tell you that the Mask Shop is now open, flagging that you can start this questline.
Who wants the Keaton Mask in Zelda Ocarina of Time?
Bought from the Mask Shop for 10 Rupees, you need to give this to the Guard in Kakariko Village who opens the passage for you, the same one who lets you know that the Mask Shop is open. He'll give you 15 Rupees in return.
Who wants the Skull Mask in Zelda Ocarina of Time?
Bought for 20 Rupees, head back to the starting area of Kokiri Village, where you start off and get the first Shield and Sword in Zelda Ocarina of Time, and turn North into the Lost Woods.
The moment you enter, head left through the hollow trunk to meet The Skull Kid, playing a tune on top of a log. He, understandably, will offer to take the Skull Mask from you, though only pay you ten for it. Cheapskate.
Who wants the Spooky Mask in Zelda Ocarina of Time?
After buying the Spooky Mask for 30 Rupees, head back to Kakariko Village, and this time take the East exit to the Graveyard, but do so during daytime. Here you'll find a boy wandering around. Speak to him to give him the Spooky Mask, for which he'll give you 30 Rupees back.
Who wants the Bunny Hood in Zelda Ocarina of Time?
The final mask in this sequence is bought for 50 Rupees. Once this happens, head to Hyrule Field. There'll be a man who runs in circles around the field, practicing his running. If you go during the night, he'll be sitting beside a rock near the Kokiri Forest entrance, as shown above, and you won't have to keep pace.
Either way, if you give him the Bunny Hood, he will give you 200 Rupees, so make sure you have the wallet space to take it all! Though keep in mind that he won't show up until you've progressed to the point where you have obtained the Three Spiritual Stones in the main story.
Happy Mask Shop quest rewards
Having given these masks out, the Happy Mask Shop will now have four new masks in store that you can get, all of which serve a particular function. Here's what they do:
- Mask of Truth: Allows you to speak with the Gossip Stones when worn. These stones can provide useful information.
- Gerudo Mask: Triggers unique dialogue from certain characters.
- Goron Mask: Triggers unique dialogue from certain characters.
- Zora Mask: Triggers unique dialogue from certain characters.
It's really only the Mask of Truth that provides the major advantage to gameplay, though some of the dialogue options and reactions from NPCs can prompt interesting lore information. Likewise, the cash infusion delivered by the Bunny Hood NPC can make Link incredibly rich, a great reward in and of itself.
You should also keep in mind that the Mask of Truth is different to the Ocarina of Time Lenses of Truth, despite both being face-worn objects that reveal secrets to you and have "truth" in their name. For details on how to get the latter, check out our guide.
