But in the short film, the Skull Kid just happened to come across the Salesman who fainted from staring at the Mask. He also seems to be extremely reluctant to put it on, as if the mask itself is forcing him to do so.
* DemonicPossession: Heavily implied to be the case for the Skull Kid when he puts on Majora's Mask. As he removes his beak, his face is shown to be ''utterly terrified'' of the mask. He even trembles holding it, as if trying to resist putting it on. His body jerking around as he screams after he puts it on seems to indicate Majora's Mask taking control of him.
** Skull Kid himself as he approaches Majora's Mask and holds it. Throughout the short he's been sad when alone, or happy when playing with Tatl and Tael. When he removes the beak hiding his mouth and is shown to be horrified at the mask, it's clear there's something worse at work than Skull Kid's curiosity.

!!Tropes:
* {{Adorkable}}: Skull Kid before the mask takes over, he wears a cute beak mask to cover a semi-featureless face and smiles, plays flute, but hides alone in the woods.
* ArtifactOfDoom: Majora's mask.
* BackstoryHorror: ''Majora's Mask'' was one of the scarier LOZ games, but parts of this short aren't very kid-friendly at all.
* BalefulPolymorph: The film features a sequence of the Skull Kid becoming attached to Majora's mask, and it's pretty damn scary.
* ClingyMacGuffin: It's shown that not only will the mask not come off, but that it attached itself to Skull Kid's face by itself.
* ClockPunk: To fit with the time theme, the opening features the Happy Mask Salesman playing piano in what seems to be a clock tower, with some crossovers with SteamPunk.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Skull Kid, from his origins to being possessed.
* DemonicDummy: The mask, from visual indications of growing fire and the climactic musical cue, and the fact that it possesses Skull Kid.
* EasterEgg: One of the masks on the Happy Mask Salesman's pack is [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros Mario]].
* ForegoneConclusion: That the mask somehow ends up on Skull Kid.
* FriendlessBackground: Skull Kid seems to have been a loner, perhaps because of his wooden body and being featureless. In the film, he's approached by fairies in the forest and has a good time playing with them in a brief HopeSpot before the ForegoneConclusion happens.
* LivingHat: Though a mask, Majora's mask is highly suggested to be one. It has some powerful effect on the Happy Mask Salesman and its eyes glow red at one.
* MeaningfulEcho: Skull Kid being drawn out of his shell of sobbing by the fairies and then having fun is marked by characterisation of him starting to chuckle, and it's cute... until the same chuckle comes back after the mask attaches to him, and it's the trademark creepy laugh.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: The Happy Mask Salesman seems to become crippled from staring at Majora's mask, and when Skull Kid comes up to help him he sees the mask and goes to investigate.
* StartOfDarkness: Though the character of Skull Kid in ''Majora's Mask'' is complex, it's clear at the end of this film that there is some start of evil when Skull Kid and the mask become one.
* WeaponWieldsYou: The mask seems to discard of the Happy Mask Salesman and "choose" Skull Kid. It's also an EvilWeapon, making it obviously more likely to control its wielder.
