70. Skull Kid (Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask)
Nominated by Great_Paul


Ah, the almost-tragedy of Skull Kid. Skull Kids show up in Ocarina of Time (Navi even implies theyre normal children that get lost in the Lost Woods), but the specific Skull Kid everyone knows is the one from Majoras Mask. This rambunctious scamp finds the titular mask, which starts corrupting him, making him lash out at his fairy companions and, eventually, trigger the end of Termina by pulling the moon toward the land. Its up to Link to break the spell the mask has on poor Skull Kid and restore peace to Termina.

So thats Skull Kid. Hes...fine, I guess? I mean, look, I like Zelda games. Theyre fun. Nice puzzles. Okay music. Their characters are not that interesting. What is Skull Kid? What is his purpose? He exists to get the plot moving. And thats fine, but hes not really someone who inspires strong passion in me. Sorry Skull Kid!
