Mask

Captain's Hat

Enter Ikana Graveyard and approach the enormous sleeping skeleton, Captain Keeta. Play the Sonata of Awakening to start the chase, then catch and defeat him. After his defeat and conversation, reach the chest containing the Captain’s Hat. This is a pursuit followed by combat, not an ordinary grave opened by wearing another mask.

Get the mask

Enter Ikana Graveyard and approach the enormous sleeping skeleton, Captain Keeta. Play the Sonata of Awakening to start the chase, then catch and defeat him. After his defeat and conversation, reach the chest containing the Captain’s Hat. This is a pursuit followed by combat, not an ordinary grave opened by wearing another mask.

Complete the interaction

The hat changes how Stalchildren react to Link. They recognize their captain and accept orders instead of treating him as an intruder. Visit the graveyard at night, speak with the Stalchildren and order them to open the grave they are guarding. The grave available changes with the night, so a route for one reward does not automatically describe the next night’s tomb.

Use and rewards

The Second Night grave leads toward a Piece of Heart and is a separate errand from the main Song of Storms progression. Keep the night number beside your objective when planning the three-day loop. Wearing the hat also gives a way to question the Stalchildren in the Oceanside Spider House for its colored-skull information.

Route and edition notes

Some undead react differently to this disguise, but the hat is not the Gibdo Mask and should not be used as a substitute when a guide requires Gibdo dialogue beneath the well. Both original and remake use the Keeta encounter for acquisition. Once obtained it remains part of the twenty ordinary masks needed for the Moon’s complete exchange. The graveyard and spider-house applications give it value beyond the initial chase.
