THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: MAJORA’S MASK- THE SKULL KID
Majora’s Mask, it seems, was almost entirely built around the concept of- “let’s put some really messed up shit in here”. From the creepy moon to the Happy Mask Salesman, there was something around almost every corner in this game that put the player on edge. Another such element was a character you’re definitely familiar with if you’ve played the game- Skull Kid. This bit of lore about Skull Kid isn’t exactly as hidden as some of the others in this list are, but it lends so much depth to him as a character, as a villain. Basically, the Four Giants, who Link has to enlist to help him stop the Moon from crashing into Termina, were once friends with the Skull Kid a long, long time ago, but after they had to return to go do their duties as the guardians of the world, the Skull Kid resented them leaving, which is basically what led to his errant behaviour.
