Skull Kid, known in Japan as Stalkid, is a character who first appears in the Nintendo 64 video game The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. He is dressed in a red cloak and hat covering an underlayer of clothing. There are a few Imps (Skull kid is an imp) that can be found in the Lost Woods, a maze-like forest. They play a memory game with Link as a child, and reward him if he plays a particular song for them on his ocarina. However, if Link, as an adult, meets Skull Kid, he shall attack him out of fear.

IGN editor Lucas M. Thomas listed Skull Kid as a good addition for the video game Super Smash Bros. Brawl, when he was the first likely included amongst the other characters listed. UGO Networks editor Marissa Meli listed him 27th out of 50 in The Best Kids in Video Games, criticizing him and calling him an "...ugly looking scarecrow who hates Link and uses a flute as a weapon."It was confirmed that Skull Kid is set to appear as an Assist Trophy in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.
