The mask can be obtained after Link obtains [[Romani's Mask]], which gives the young hero access to the [[Milk Bar]]; inside he meets [[Toto]], manager of the [[Zora]] band [[The Indigo-Go's]]. After Link aids him by playing the pieces of music he requests using the musical instruments of each of his four forms,<ref>{{cite|We were scheduled to do a show, but it got canceled.

The mask, when worn, has a calming effect on people related to Gorman. When Link wears it in the presence of the [[Gorman Brothers]], the mask will affect them emotionally, sapping all desire to be rude out of them.<ref>{{cite|Grrrr... We're the notorious Gorman Brothers! We can't get all sappy over stuff like this! I'm sorry, but take that mask off.

Is it just me or is the link on the main picture on the top right changing practically every minute (Sometimes second) obviously we all favor certain links, but shouldn't we decide so the article stays more consistent? --[[User:Legosora|Legosora]] 16:52, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

*This is one of the few masks that can be obtained more than once, along with the [[Couple's Mask]].
: It's intentional. It loads a random image from a specific selection each time. {{:User:Petenu/sig}} 16:52, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

*When wearing the mask, it appears to be crying with falling tears.
I had just figured that out too when I came back here... now I feel like an idiot. --[[User:Legosora|Legosora]] 16:57, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

I was thinking that maybe adding a gallery and putting all of Link's appearances throughout the series under said gallery. Mainly just artwork, because right now the page looks a bit messy and unprofessional with images all over the place. What do you guys think? I'll gladly do it if you guys agree, I'm just asking for opinions since this could be a pretty big change to the page. I wouldn't remove ALL the images, but just some of them to make the page look neat and clean. [[User:Dany36|Dany36]] 19:00, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I'd say to split this, If not outright delete it. In all seriousness, the Link transformations have more to do with Link overall than his relations with the variety of characters during brief cutscenes. I think a paragraph and a link to the main articles for both sections would be a better manner of presenting this content. {{:User:Axiomist/sig}} 22:52, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

This article would be better off by putting the known same Links into one section and subsection it by game. The only major difference would be the placement of PH Link, but I think it's better that way. {{:User:Axiomist/sig}} 05:11, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

::I think it would be a good idea, but Mandi's right. It would add an awful lot of confusion, especially among newer/younger fans. We need to think simpler. I think we can tend to over-think things here, seeing as we're so familiar with the series. Order of game releases is the best idea, methinks. {{:User:Alter/sig}} 05:44, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

==SSBB image==
 
 
While I agree that the image is not canonical, I would like to point out that the jpeg version of it was already in use of several image galleries as well as Featued Article. I also want to mention that the image being used on the Hyrule page, is also non-canon, so it seems to me that we've accepted using non-canon images.{{:User:Steven/sig}} 19:54, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
 
 
:I agree. I see no reason to disallow them, as the point is to properly portray the character in question. Besides, if we aren't to use non-canon images for the main pic, we can' have any for the non-canon games? We'll be dipping into very muddy waters by doing so.
 
:The point is that the NC images are often just as good as the canon ones. We shouldn't disclude them because of their origin's story. {{:User:Alter/sig}} 22:24, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

== Other appearances ==
 
 
Alright, the suggestion of splitting the section of Other Appearances into its own page has been there since I can remember (heck, I think since I joined the wiki). It's time to decide whether it should stay in that page or have it made into a subpage or something so that we can get rid of that pesky template. Link is currently a feature article, and it just looks wrong to have a template suggesting a split for so long. [[User:Dany36|Dany36]] 17:34, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 
 
Please place your edit in the section which represents your stance.

==Assistance with a code used on this page==
 
First of all, let me start by thanking whoever created this page. I was wondering if there was a code for random choice generator for Wikis and it seems I've found it in Link here's Infobox image, so thanks. Now my question is, is it possible to make it have more than one result? With what you've got here, it'll choose only one out of a list. I'm needing something that'll choose, say 8 things out of a list. Would that be possible to accomplish? I hope someone here can help. Thanks. [[User:Jo The Marten|Jo The Marten]] 06:21, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
 
 
:The way it could be done is to have two sets of <nowiki><choice></nowiki> tags. However, you may face the problem of having duplicates show up at the same time, and the only way to stop that would be to have only different options under each set of <nowiki><choice> and <option></nowiki> tags. {{:User:Alter/sig}} <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">21:16, January 8, 2010 (UTC)</span>

== Personality ==
 
For part of his personality, should we put that he is quite a heavy sleeper? in the beginning of most games, he is seen sleeping. [[User:Supermariosuperfan|Supermariosuperfan]] 00:43, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 
:No, that's most likely just a device used to open the story. {{:User:Pakkun/sig}} 01:53, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 
::Plus, for the rest of the game he doesn't sleep day or night, so it's more likely that he's actually an insomniac. =D {{:User:Embyr 75/sig}} 01:57, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 
:Umm... How is it a device to open the story? [[User:Supermariosuperfan|Supermariosuperfan]] 16:58, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 
::Because that's what it is. All kinds of stories start with the main character being woken up. [[User:Reign|Reign]] 18:10, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 
:Prove it. [[User:Supermariosuperfan|Supermariosuperfan]] 23:23, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 
::Ugh... It is '''highly common''' for stories to open with the main character sleeping. It's a poetic sense of both the main character and the observer waking up to a new world. {{:User:Pakkun/sig}} 23:54, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 
:A lot of RPG begins with the main character waking up ("Chronos Trigger" for example). [[User:Jeangabin|Jeangabin]] 07:16, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
 
::Then it is also a common device for characters (who were asleep in the beginning of the game) not to sleep for the rest of the game, not because they're insomniac, otherwise, the story could not carry on, and there are a few games that Link is not asleep, so there.

:::What does that mean? [[User:Supermariosuperfan|Supermariosuperfan]] 18:34, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
 
::::That it's time to drop the point. It's a plot device that's used on occasion to open the story, like Pakkun said. It's not meant to be a characteristic of Link's. Just chillax, alright? No need to have an argument over something so minor.{{:User:Justin/sig}} 08:37, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 
:::But just to let you know, there is another story-opening plot device. Starting out with a letter, such as in the first two Paper Mario Games, where the main protagonist is sent a letter, and the adventure begins.[[User:Supermariosuperfan|Supermariosuperfan]] 14:44, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

In Wind Waker, if you notice, inside Hyrule's Castle, there's a statue of Link that it's design is very much alike to http://www.zeldawiki.org/File:Wwadult.jpg the Old concept of Adult WW Link. Here's the image of the statue: http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb133/nuclear_muffin/Adult-Link-Statue.jpg (by the way, the colored part is fanmade).

== Timestuff ==
 
 
I'm not sure that just because the officials have named Skyward Sword before Ocarina of Time means that Skyward Sword is chronologically ''the first game'' in the series. I've seen a lot of articles stating this, but I decided to say it on Link because I first saw it here. Also, I apologize if I'm improperly using the term 'chronological'.

== Page Size ==
 
 
This page is a hulking mess. It needs to be trimmed down heavily. For example, the "Incarnations and Appearances" section should simply link to each of the games, and leave those game pages to divulge how Link is involved in them, because he's the hero. The redundant summaries of the games and the whimsical storytelling is superfluous and unnecessary. The Skyward Sword section is pure speculation. It should die first.
 
 
I'm dropping the axe on this page in a week if it doesn't improve. Featured Article doesn't mean Finished Article. --[[User:Xizor|Xizor]] 07:09, 11 September 2010 (EDT)
 
:How is the SS section speculation? All of it has been confirmed. It even has sources to back it up. [[User:Dany36|Dany36]] 11:29, 11 September 2010 (EDT)
 
 
:: "Link has lived his entire life in an island above the clouds known as Skyloft and is unaware of any other world besides the island. However, one day, he discovers a land below, which is actually Hyrule,[20] but realizes that it is being overrun by evil forces and, in part due to the fact that he is searching for a lost and valuable friend, he is forced to go there. As such, the young hero must spend his journey traveling back and forth between these two regions, Skyloft and the kingdom of Hyrule, with the help of the Skyward Sword that he eventually finds in his homeland of Skyloft.[20][21] The Skyward Sword is the driving force behind Link's traveling between the two lands.[22][23]"
 
 
::'Confirmed' or not, that entire bit is completely unnecessary. It can go under the Skyward Sword page. --[[User:Xizor|Xizor]] 18:52, 11 September 2010 (EDT)
 
:::The thing about Link though, is that he's the medium from which the story is understood by the player. He transcends it, walks though it, and cannot be separated from it. Without explaining how Link goes through the storylines of these games, this page would literally turn into a disambig. If there is any trimming to be done, it should be in word choice, verbosity, and other aesthetic fixes, not content. I'm not a huge fan of how one crat can wave his magic wand and give a page "one week" before it's "axed". {{:User:Cipriano 119/sig}} 23:29, 11 September 2010 (EDT)

Revision as of 04:55, 12 September 2010

Template:Mask The Circus Leader's Mask is given to Link by Gorman at the Milk Bar in Majora's Mask.[1]

Template:HappyMask

Location

CircusLeadersMask

The mask can be obtained after Link obtains Romani's Mask, which gives the young hero access to the Milk Bar; inside he meets Toto, manager of the Zora band The Indigo-Go's. After Link aids him by playing the pieces of music he requests using the musical instruments of each of his four forms,[2] the man at the bar, Gorman, is moved by the tune.[3] He gives Link the mask to show his gratification.

"Uses"

The mask, when worn, has a calming effect on people related to Gorman. When Link wears it in the presence of the Gorman Brothers, the mask will affect them emotionally, sapping all desire to be rude out of them.[4][5] The only time this benefits Link is during the segment of the game in which Link must defend Cremia's milk shipment to get the Romani Mask, as wearing the mask will prevent the bandits from attacking. Bizarrely, the Romani Mask is required to get the Circus Leader's Mask in the first place, and as there is no further reward for defending the milk shipment, the Circus Leader's Mask is essentially an utterly useless mask, being necessary only for obtaining the Fierce Deity's Mask.

Trivia

  • This is one of the few masks that can be obtained more than once, along with the Couple's Mask.
  • When wearing the mask, it appears to be crying with falling tears.
  • This is one of the four dynamic masks, along with the Great Fairy's Mask (whose hair moves and shimmers), Blast Mask (becomes transparent after every explosion) and Bunny Hood (whose ears move as Link runs).
