The mask is the primary antagonist in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Once used (and possibly created) by an ancient tribe as a form of hexing and torture, the mask was infused with dark magic and became a evil creature in its own right, being able to amplify the user's dark wishes. To prevent its misuse, the tribe threw it away, where it was discovered by a mask salesman. It would later be used by the Skull Kid, who became possessed by it and tried to destroy the world of Termina by dropping the moon on it before being destroyed for good by Link.
