Sell four borrowed masks, repay the shop and claim the Deku capacity rewards.

  1. Sell the Keaton Mask

    Borrow it in daylight. Wear it for Kakariko’s Death Mountain gate guard, sell it, then repay 10 Rupees at the shop.

    Visit the Forest Stage before selling: from the Lost Woods entrance go right, left, right, left, left and enter the grass-hidden grotto. Wear the mask onstage for the top stick bag. Sell it to the lone Skull Kid and repay 20 Rupees.

This guide follows the 2026 Nintendo Switch 2 remake. Routes were checked against edition-specific walkthroughs and Nintendo documentation. We have not personally completed a console playthrough.

The N64 guide and its saved progress remain separate. Checklist totals measure this guide, not the game's completion percentage. New features are documented where the available evidence supports them.

Changes to keep in mind

  • The Mask of Truth reveals character thoughts and Gossip Stone hints.
  • You can reborrow the Skull Mask if you sold it before visiting the Forest Stage.
