Summary

• A Majora's Mask fan created stunning wooden replicas of iconic masks from the game, showcasing their love for the Legend of Zelda series.
• Unique gameplay mechanics of Majora’s Mask, like time travel and enchanted masks, continue to captivate fans two decades after its release.
• WoodworksGeek impresses with intricate wood carvings of Majora’s Mask items, offering detailed replicas for Zelda enthusiasts to enjoy.

A talented Legend of Zelda fan recently carved impressive wooden versions of the transforming masks from the appropriately named N64 entry Majora’s Mask, among other popular items. Released back in 2000 as a sequel to the beloved Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask sees Link travel to a parallel realm named Termina, one that is on the brink of annihilation by a cursed moon. To save the world, the young Legend of Zelda hero must use the Song of Time to travel into the past and uncover the mystery behind this threat across a three-day cycle.

Utilizing time travel to solve puzzles and unlock dungeons isn’t the only novel mechanic in The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, as Link can also use enchanted masks to transform into different creatures and use their abilities in his quest. There are 24 different masks, with three primary ones allowing Link to become a plant-like Deku Scrub, a rocky Goron, or an aquatic Zora – as well as the special Fierce Deity's Mask that transforms him into a powerful super form. Other masks give Link special abilities without transforming him outright, with some like the Bunny Hood even making their way into other games like Super Smash Bros.

Reddit user t_sekuloski (or WoodworksGeek) is known for woodcarving renditions of game-related objects like Darth Nihilus’s skull-like mask from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2, and they just posted a series of Legend of Zelda-inspired creations to r/zelda. These include wooden replicas of the Deku Mask, Keaton Mask, and Zora Mask from The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. They also shared a wooden version of the titular Majora’s Mask worn by the Skull Kid in the game, as well as Link’s legendary Hylian Shield and the Korok Mask from Breath of the Wild’s DLC. All of these and more are available to order from WoodworksGeek’s Etsy page.

Wood-Carved Legend of Zelda Masks Impress Fans

Other Reddit users have complimented WoodworksGeek for their work in recreating these iconic masks from The Legend of Zelda as wood carvings, with some even wishing to make something like them in the future. There have been other stunning renditions of iconic items from Majora’s Mask, such as another wood carving of the titular evil mask and drawings of the Clock Tower that Link teleports to every time he plays the Song of Time to go back to the past.

Even over two decades since its initial release on the Nintendo 64, The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask remains one of the most remembered entries in the Zelda series thanks to its unique premise and gameplay mechanics, such as the magic masks Link employs to overcome the challenges he faces. WoodworksGeek’s wooden carvings of these masks won’t transform the wearer into a Zora, but they are still beautiful and accurate recreations of some of The Legend of Zelda’s most popular objects.
