The Zelda games are known for having fun little mechanics that make the games feel more alive. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is no different. This game is full of different mechanics and functions that make you feel like you're in the world.
One of these mechanics can be found when Link puts on a Monster Mask. There are 5 of these Monster Masks that Link can obtain and use in the game. They are designed to look like the many different monsters that prowl the Kingdom of Hyrule. Here is a guide detailing these Monster Masks and their uses.
How To Obtain Monster Masks
If you want to obtain these masks, you'll need to find Koltin and complete his quest. He can be found by the Woodland Stable for the first time. Koltin will ask Link to bring him the Bubbul Gems that drop from Bubbulfrogs so he can eat them and turn into a Satori. Bubbulfrogs can be found in all caves across Hyrule. If you need help finding caves, you can always use the Cherry Blossom Trees in the area. You can also ask Koltin if he senses any in the area you're currently in. You'll obtain these Monster Masks as you trade with Koltin. After you meet him the first time, Koltin can be found near Tarrey Town, near Death Mountain, south of Lookout Landing, East of Lake Hylia, and southeast of Snowfield Stable.
All Monster Masks Available
As mentioned previously, there are 5 Monster Masks available to the player. Each one is obtained during a different trade with Koltin.
Bokoblin Mask
The Bokoblin Mask is the first mask available to the player. As soon as you obtain 1 Bubbul Gem, Koltin will trade you for this mask.
Moblin Mask
The Moblin Mask is the second available to the player. First, you'll need to complete your first trade with Koltin. After that, he will want 2 more Bubbul Gems. This makes for a total of 3 Bubbul Gems for this mask.
Lizalfos Mask
The Lizalfos Mask is available to players after their 5th trade. Koltin will ask for 3 Bubbul Gems. This means you'll need 14 Bubbul Gems in total to obtain this mask.
Horriblin Mask
The next mask players can obtain is the Horriblin Mask. You'll need to complete 9 trades. On your 10th trade, Koltin will ask for 4 Bubbul Gems. This means you'll need 29 Bubbul Gems in total to trade.
Lynel Mask
The final mask that you can obtain is the Lynel Mask. This one is one of the last trades you'll make with Koltin. You're given this mask for your 12th trade with him. He'll want another 4 Bubbul Gems. You'll need 37 total Bubbul Gems.
What Do Monster Masks Do?
These masks are designed to look like the monsters in the game. They will allow Link to blend in with the monsters so long as he doesn't attack them. They work similarly to the Evil Spirit Armor, Yiga Clan Armor, and Majora's Mask. All of these pieces of armor also work as disguises for Link. If you want to join the party the Bokoblins and Moblins are having at a monster camp, just put on a Monster Mask and have fun!
