Once the Happy Mask Shop in Hyrule Market opens, you can begin Young Link's trading sequence. Doing all of this isn't necessary, but it IS fun and it adds to the length of the game. Since this may be a bit confusing to some people, let me explain: all you have to do is borrow the mask at the shop, sell it to the person who wants it, and then go back to the shop and pay back the mask price, regardless of whether you make a profit or not. Once you get back, the next mask will be available to borrow.

Mask 1: Keaton Mask
Price: 10 Rupees

You sell this mask to the guard in Kakariko Village who guards the Death Mountain Trail head. He'll pay you 15 Rupees for it. He apparently wants it for his son, but seeing as he wears it throughout the whole game, you gotta wonder it it's REALLY for his son..

Mask 2: Skull Mask
Price: 20 Rupees

You sell this one to the lone Skull Kid in the Lost Woods (go left from the start). He won't pay you full price for it, though.. what a jerk.

Mask 3: Spooky Mask
Price: 30 Rupees

This one can be sold to the kid who walks around in the Graveyard, wanting to be like Dampe. But c'mon.. we all know the truth: he doesn't wanna look like Damp - no, he wants to look like.. a ReDead! At least, that what the mask implies.. anyway, he'll buy this one for full price.

Mask 4: Bunny Hood
Price: 50 Rupees

50 Rupees may be a steep price for a mask, but just wait 'till you sell it. First off, a word of advice: you can't sell this mask until you beat all three dungeons as Young Link, so don't even bother trying. Ok, now on to the important stuff: MAKE SURE you get the Giant's Wallet before you sell this mask, and MAKE sure you're low on Rupees when you sell it. Why, you ask? Read on. The guy you want to sell this mask to can be found running around in Hyrule Field. To find him, explore the area to the right and behind of Lon Lon Ranch, assuming you're facing it. Once he stops running, you can sell it to him. He'll go off the deep end, and give you 500 Rupees for it. Whatever!!

There ya go - that's it. Now, you have access to four optional Masks, as well as all of the previous Masks, free of charge. Here's a list:

Mask of Truth - Allows you to "read people's minds". Well, not exactly, but it IS pretty cool. While you're wearing it, go up to a Gossip Stone (the stones that tell you the time when you hit them), and press A, as if to talk to it. Well, it'll talk to you, and tell you some pretty nifty stuff. None of it is essential to the quest, but it's quite interesting. For example, one of them will tell you who Malon really hopes will sweep her off her feet..

Zora Mask - Makes you look like a Zora person. Heh, talk to Ruto with this one on.. hell, talk to EVERYONE with this one on.

Goron Mask - Makes you look like a Goron person. Fun! Fun!! FUN!!!

Gerudo Mask - I'm not really sure why Link would WANT to look like a girl, but.. to each his own, I guess..
