Okay, okay, before we go into the dun-dun-dunnnnnnnnn Forest Temple, there's a small sidequest to tackle: The Happy Mask Sidequest. Basically, you must collect masks one by one and sell them. And here's how!
So, when the guard first opened the gate to Death Mountain for you, he mentioned a 'fox mask'... hmmm... Turns out the Happy Mask Shop in Castle Town is now open for business! You can now backtrack your heroic butt allllllll the way back to Castle Town and talk to the creepy-eyed, red-haired man (demon) thingy wait did I say something? Okaaaay. He mentions his quest. Check out the Keaton mask (looks like a Pikachu/fox hybrid. Hard to miss. Plus, it's, like, the only one there.)
So with the Pik - uh, I mean Keaton - mask, go back to Kakariko village and go to where the dude guards Death Mountain (like, totally like, mentioned above, man). Put on the mask and talk to him. Here's your conversation in a nutshell:
Guard: "Oooooooh! I know that thingy! Kee something! ooooh! my son loves it! Ooooh! can I have it?!"
Link: "Umm. Sure. I guess."
So he gives you the money, and now you go back to Castle Town (it's gonna be a long, looooong trip), give the mask salesman (who remains unnamed in every single game he's in) the money the guard gave ya, and check out the Skull Mask.
Backtrack, castle town, money, Spooky Mask, yah yah yah. Okay. So. Yes, get the Spooky Mask and approach Kakariko village. If it's night, play the Sun's Song - it needs to be day. Once it is, go into Kakariko village - and Kakariko graveyard. A little red-headed boy (maybe blind, he's pokin' things with a stick - wait, no, he sees your mask) is there, poking things with a stick (as aforementioned). Talk to him with the Spooky Mask on. Oh, I see. He was impersonating the grave keeper!
Maybe he's blind.
Wowee! Thank you for giving me all 30 Rupees, little boy whose name I don't know and whose daily/weekly allowance is surprising for a four-or-five year old boy your age (I'm implying that he's four-or-five years of age. Yeah, it sounded stupid).
And now, the whole With-the-money-go-back-to-Castle-Town-and-give-it-to-the-mask-salesman-to-get-the-Bunny-Hood speech: With the money, go back to Castle Town and give it to the mask salesman to get the Bunny Hood. Ah, such words of wisdom. A little choked up? I'll give ya a second ... The Bunny Hood is by far the absolute hardest mask in this quest. For one, the recipient never stops moving - except for at night. Oh, and also - it's depressing (more on that later). Okay, Agent OoT. Here is your case file:
Target: Running Man
Location: (some sort of longitude and latitude) Lon Lon Ranch
At night, the Running Man is, well, running in circles around Lon Lon Ranch, but eventually stops to rest, which is when you can speak to him with the Bunny Hood on. But it's very hard to pinpoint his location, plus he's only there once Barinade is defeated. But if you can catch him and talk to him with the mask on, he buys it!
... For way too many Rupees than you ding-dang-darn WALLET can hold!
Depressing.
WHERE DID HE GO AND HOW DID THE MASK - oh there he is - MAKE HIM SO - oh he did another lap - FAST AND NOT - back so soon? - ME WHEN I - another lap 'round Lon Lon Ranch and gone - WORE IT!!!!?????
One of life's greatest mysteries.
See ya next time! (get it? time?)

Head to Death Mountain, then the Goron City, and finally into the secret passageway leading to Kokiri Forest. Exit Lost Woods and go back in in this order : Left. Okey-dokey, you're there! That was hard, right? Okay. A skull kid is playing his flute here, but he disappears if you come close. So play Saria's song and he gives you a Piece of Heart, then you can talk to him. Do so with the Skull Mask on, and he buys it. Be sure to have 10 Rupees on hand - the mask is worth 20 of 'em and El Cheapo here pays 10. Yep, the cruelty! You have to pay for the rest with your own currency! No!!!!!
