Well he is not just a random, he is the main villain of the creepiest weirdest Zelda game and a total mystery, him and the mask that he wears that is not just a mask, but a demonic entity that controls and posses others.

Can I ask a sincere question?
People keep calling Skull Kid "iconic" to the Zelda franchise, as if it's real iconic and not Ubisoft iconic, and speaking as someone who has only played the Wind Waker trilogy this confuses me. I mean I love Wind Waker and I don't see King Daphnes as iconic to the franchise.
I swear I'm not hating on the guy, I'm just curious: what made Skull Kid a fan favorite?
