After Link soon awakens to the "Dawn of a New Day", he learns that the now-freed Skull Kid and the Four Giants had once been friends. With the crisis averted, the Four Giants return to their respective regions of Termina. The Skull Kid happily remarks how Link smells like "the kid who taught him a song in the forest", clearly implying that this is the same Skull Kid to whom Link taught "Saria's Song" in Ocarina of Time. Upon finally getting it returned, the Happy Mask Salesman states that the evil has at last left Majora's Mask, and then mysteriously disappears, bidding Link a fond farewell. Tatl tells Link that he should get back to his original quest, and the two part ways. In a post-credits scene, Link, now in Hyrule's outskirts, returns back into the same forest seen in the beginning of the game, on Epona searching for Navi once again, back to square one. However, he spots a nearby bright light, decides to take a look, and then sees a tree stump. "Saria's Song" echoes as a carving of Link, the Skull Kid, the Fairy siblings, and the Four Giants is shown each waving to the player, and the game ends. <br><br> As the evil magic from Majora's Mask that created Termina is completely expelled from the Mask, the land ceases to exist soon after Link departs.
