SKULL KID
Although he has a quest to perform, if Link heads into the Lost Woods above his village and turns right, he will come to a clearing where a shy creature with a strange face will be hanging out, looking for a friend to play with.
This is the first appearance of the Skull Kid, trickster characters who cause trouble because they like to play. One member of this species will rise to prominence in the game’s sequel where he will attack a traveling salesman and don a cursed mask that will poison his mind and lead him to commit several atrocities including the near genocide of the entire region of Termina.
As a fighter, the masked version of this character will, of course, come front and center, though the maskless variants from Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess will have color swaps as well. He will be constantly floating with a good amount of speed and magical power behind him. His moveset will pull from his abilities under the mask’s influence, his fairy friends Tatl and Tael, and his abilities in other appearances, such as the puppets from Twilight Princess.
Likelihood rating: Strong.
