The Skull Kid and Link were never really friends. The game clearly states at the beginning that it is "a journey in search of a beloved and invaluable friend" It then states right after that it is "a friend with whom he parted ways when he finally fulfilled his destiny" Link and Navi split right after he is returned to his own time. The Skull Kid, with the exception of the Lost Woods moment where you play him Saria's Song, is never seen or mentioned again throughout the rest of the game! So who do you honestly believe this "friend" is that Link is searching for?
For those of you who believe it's the Skull Kid, you are really stubborn. And wrong. More topics from this board Why doesn't Zora Link look more like Mikau? What is the Bombers code? General 9 Answers What if you forgot the bombers code?

User Info: Seal64 Seal64 10 years ago 38 most Kokiris don't die Word of god trumps all, but I guess the "never stated in game" part leaves things open on a technicality. Did we ever find out what happened to Navi? Stripper at a fairy bar? Gossip columnist in Castle Town? Writer of a vaguely helpful Hyrule bestiary? Went off to rescue all the fairies who get put in jars? Safety officer at some construction company watch out!! Became the sultry, bossy mistress to the Great Fairy?
Posted 14 February - PM. The opening of Majora's Mask is a manipulation straight out of Hitchcock. It's supposedly a narration from Hyrule's royal family presumably Zelda , and yet Zelda had virtually no interactions with Navi other than observing she was there. More to the point, Link is mugged by two fairies not five seconds after the chime. What we do know is that the body language at the end of Ocarina suggests Link and Navi parted with no clingy feelings one way or the other, and that if Link follows the Mask Salesman's suggestion and returns to Hyrule at the end of Majora, he will have returned without Navi.
I'm not saying the Navi interpretation is completely useless; Ocarina of Time is basically a power fantasy of being able to skip into adulthood and retreat back into childhood at will, and Navi served that thematically because the Kokiri don't age past childhood. It was a sign that Link had an adult body, but wasn't really an adult, and the end of Ocarina--where Zelda gives Link back his missing time--means that he really will grow up.
Along this line of thought Link searching for Navi would mean Link is trying to cling to his childhood even though he has already grown up, and returning without Navi means Link has accepted growing up. That said, I think that interpretation has problems, namely that Link accepted growing up at the end of Ocarina when Navi left him.
Again, Link didn't look bothered or clingy. The narrator at Majora's beginning also is presumably looking back and has the insight to book-end the story. Why would the narrator bookend the story on the opening when Link doesn't find Navi at the end?
The better explanation is that it's too early to reveal that the villain and the protagonist know each other, and Navi is a convenient red herring.
If I had to guess, I would say Link is having problems growing up in Hyrule because he experienced it twice, so he's on a quest to grow up somewhere else. Majora's Mask is a sidequest he picks up to save an old friend--everything said in the prologue literally applies to Navi, but by the end it metaphorically applies to Skull Kid. I actually really like your explanation Egann. I never considered Navi of representing Link's childhood and her departure at the end of Ocarina of Time now makes much more sense.
However, I'm going to fight you on Skull Kid's relationship with Link. The way I see it, the two of them know of each other but not nearly as well as good friends. I figured they were just aquiantances. After all, if Skull Kid knew Link well enough at the beginning of Majora's Mask then he'd know he wasn't someone to shrug off and fool around with. He's just one of those Kokiri kids who he ran into a while back, mostly harmless right?
Warning: the following post is Enter at your own peril. In the land of Hyrule, there echoes a legend. A legend held dearly by the Royal Family that tells of a boy A boy who, after battling evil and saving Hyrule, crept away from the land that had made him a legend Done with the battles he once waged across time, he embarked on a journey. A secret and personal journey A journey in search of a beloved and invaluable friend A friend with whom he parted ways when he finally fulfilled his heroic destiny and took his place among legends How in the world is Tatl more annoying than Navi?
It's certain that they never knew each other "well," but remember the narration at the beginning isn't from Link's point of view; the events are over and done from the narrator's point of view, to the point that they are in legend. Link and the Skull Kid are pretty good friends at the end, which is enough for a removed narrator to call them friends at the beginning, even if its technically inaccurate.
More to the point, the sidequesty nature of Majora's Mask tells us a lot about Link's personality. He helps people even when he knows he will have to reset time on them. It's a good guess that even if Link doesn't form friendships rapidly, he does empathize. It's also not stated how much the mask is messing with Skull Kid's head.
He recognizes Link twice in the game--at the beginning and at the end--but he doesn't remember remembering Link at the end. That's a little odd. He also ignores Link's sword and shield and goes straight for the Ocarina. The logical explanation is that Majora is making Skull Kid massively rash and overconfident, but also that Majora recognizes a magical artifact which can threaten it when it sees one.
Majora was manipulating Skull Kid to play with and take the Ocarina because the Ocarina was the threat. I find it odd they would say Link was "done with the battles he once waged across time," when Majora's Mask involves time travel heavily, but I won't nitpick. I am sure Navi's reception was part of Nintendo's logic for switching Navi out for Tatl.
I imagine that's also where they got Tatl's rude personality from; they turned how playtesters received Navi into a character quirk for Tatl. More likely they chose to give Link Tatl because they had already decided for Navi to leave at the end of Ocarina. The narrator isn't Link, and is talking in a retrospective tone which may refer to future events in the game as much as past ones in the canon. Do this! We've only got 71 hours left! We've only got 70 hours left!
