Template:Character Shiro is a character in Majora's Mask.
Biography
Shiro is a Soldier who is encountered in Ikana Canyon. He is so plain and boring that, even though he constantly waves his arms around, he is unnoticeable and invisible.[1] Link can find the injured Soldier while using the Lens of Truth.[2] After being healed with a Red or Blue Potion, he gives Link the Stone Mask.[3]
In Majora's Mask 3D, he is instead found in the center of Pirates' Fortress, which he infiltrated in an attempt to stand out. Tatl senses his presence when nearby, making it more likely that Link can discover him. After assisting him in the same manner as is done in the original game, he runs out of the fortress via the nearest doorway, and can be found on the ledge above the area with Pirates on boats, at a loss on how to proceed. When spoken to however, he will reassure Link that he does not need further help.
Etymology
Shiro means white in Japanese, which can also refer to being plain or blank, referring to Shiro's predicament of being as plain as stone.
Trivia
- Shiro is also the name of one of the Carpenters rescued from Gerudo's Fortress in Ocarina of Time.[4]
