Well, it would be the first time outside the world of Termina, yes. But I seem to remember those children giving you a really good game of hide-and-seek…

In this world's years, it would have to be…15 years or so.

Oh! "Challenging", you say? That is certainly one way to describe it! Incidentally, the moon of this world does not have a face, does it? But it is still very magnificent.

I'm afraid I couldn't say. What I know is, when a huge object like that comes falling down, there's not much regular people can do! To do something about a thing that nothing can be done about… That's quite something, isn't it?

In this world, it would have been three years or so. When you compare it to the original, it seems like a frightfully long time! But thanks to everyone's hard work, all of Termina, including me, became so splendid you might not recognize it! And when you look at Clock Town, many things have changed over the fifteen years... The bank has moved, for example, and there are many more posters around.

As you know, Termina has both a swamp and an ocean, so it's no wonder someone has started up a fishing business over the years. The end of the world might be coming, but that's no reason not to enjoy yourself, am I right?

Oh! So even people like me, who travel far and wide, can play a little bit every now and then. That is a fine thing indeed!

That's...not a very generous way to describe it.

Oh, I am but a humble mask salesman. No more, and no less. I may travel around selling masks that have special powers, but as for what the masks are used for...? Oho, ho, ho! That is up to the customer, is it not?

It is because I only exist to bring everyone happiness! That's just the good-natured mask salesman I am. I only desire the happiness of all around me, so it was only natural for me to name myself thus! Ho, ho, ho...

Oh my, some people say the strangest things... It's enough to spoil everyone's happiness!

It's very simple! The boundless sorrow surrounding each mask comes rushing inside the wearer when they put it on, so the urge to scream is quite understandable, really.

I have heard tell of a small Deku Scrub being spotted underneath the clock tower! And he did look a bit like Link when he wears the mask... Let me say this: you may learn more if you finish the game! Ho, ho, ho...

"By adding spiky thorns to the beautiful and pure shape that is a heart, we tried to strongly convey the mask's sinister nature"... is something I heard someone say, once.

You want to know my mask acquisition methods? Ho, ho, ho... It's a trade secret. I would lose my competitive edge if I revealed it!

Ho, ho, ho... Haven't you heard that ignorance is bliss? Let me tell you a little anecdote, instead. Do you know the Mirror Shield?

Indeed! Early on, the developers thought it would be interesting if the light that reflected off the shield created a pattern that looks like a face. So they decided to make that face look like one of the masks on my backpack! Now isn't that interesting?

I know! I feel they ought to pay me a fee for that... Oh, that reminds me of another story! Do you know the one place Eiji Aonuma likes to stop by whenever he visits Termina?

He really really likes to visit the Clock Town post office for a spot of mental training. And each time he manages to stop the clock at exactly ten seconds, he does a loud "Whoop!" He probably thinks nobody is looking, but the Happy Mask Salesman sees all!

But I have watched you, too! I have seen you cut down a signpost, only to play the Song of Healing and make it whole again... That satisfied expression you have when the sign is back to normal, I know it well.

Oh, but I have more!

I know of a rumour that the giant eyeballs are a sign of a fraction of Majora's Mask's power residing in the creature... Could it be that that power has been growing over the last fifteen years? Look closely as you defeat them - can you see the dark energy escaping...?

I'm not too sure, but judging by the fact that they live on the moon, surely they cannot be normal children...? I have not met them in person, but I am pretty certain they must be some figment created by Majora's Mask. Perhaps they look like children because Link is himself but a child? Oh, look, they have the same hairstyle as me. So young, and yet so stylish!

I am happy to have been of service! Between this, and the Art Academy: SketchPad drawing competition I have been asked to judge, I have had a very busy and enjoyable time visiting this world!

Ho, ho, ho... You have some truly odd fascinations, don't you? But no, it is more the case that Link now looks more realistic, more like himself. However, my time is almost up. But before I depart, would you like to know the origin of the name "Mujura" (MariChan's note: This is what "Majora" is called in the Japanese version.)?

Ho, ho, ho... Some of you may have heard this already, but it actually comes from the name of the original game's art director, Mister Imamura. He took the "mura" part of his name, and from the name of a film he loved, "Jumanji", he took the "ju", and he put them together. Voila! "Mujura". Although the name may have existed already, in the world of Termina. As for how it came to exist there, well...

My, my... I've certainly been appearing all over the place these past few days! If this keeps going, maybe it wouldn't be a stretch to expect me to pop up in a new Zelda game, too...? Ho, ho, ho... I've got some new masks, too, if you'd like to try them on... If I do make an appearance, I'm sure everyone will experience such happiness! Believe in your strengths... Believe... Ho, ho, ho...
