The Skull Kid from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask appears in Super Smash Bros. 4 as an Assist Trophy. His function as an Assist Trophy is turning the camera upside-down with his dark magic.

Origin

Skull Kids first appeared in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time as minor characters, but one returns (specifically, the one who befriends Link once he plays Saria's Song to him) in Majora's Mask as the main antagonist in the game under the control of Majora's Mask. This Skull Kid is the basis for Super Smash Bros. 4's Assist Trophy. A Skull Kid (thought to be the same one as he knows Saria's Song) also appears as a minor character in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess as a miniboss.

The Skull Kid's attack as an Assist Trophy is not based on any known ability of Majora's Mask itself. However, it is very similar to the mechanic of the Stone Tower, which must be inverted for Link to progress.
