The '''Curiosity Shop''' is a store found in the [[West Clock Town]] area of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. The shop is run by the [[Man from Curiosity Shop]], and it opens only later at night, most likely because the store has no problem in selling stolen merchandise.<ref>{{cite|Man from Curiosity Shop, buys and sells stolen goods.

On [[Zelda Wiki]], there are specific expectations of what is and isn't considered [[wikipedia:canon (fiction)|canon]]. Canon refers to a body of materials considered to be an ''official'' or ''genuine'' part of a fictional universe. It is what can be specifically referenced as factual information within the given universe, and so therefore, canon is often seen as the official series as released by the original creators.
The Curiosity Shop also has a second "employee" of sorts. The [[Takkuri]] near the [[Termina Field]] entrance to [[Milk Road]] will swoop down to steal items from passers-by,<ref>{{cite|It's a Takkuri. Run! This bird steals your items! C'mon! What are you doing just standing around?!|[[Tatl]]|Majora's Mask}}</ref> and will drop them off at the Curiosity Shop to be sold to anyone who wants it.

What exactly constitutes and makes up the canon materials of the [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|Zelda]] series is not entirely clear-cut, is often open to personal interpretation from fans, and can even vary across time. Zelda Wiki's canon policy is based upon what is commonly accepted as canon, and through developments from Nintendo.
The back room of the Curiosity Shop is home to none other than the missing [[Kafei]]. He stays there until he can figure out how to recover the [[Couple's Mask#Sun Mask|wedding ceremony mask]] that was stolen by [[Sakon]].

*The [[All-Night Mask]] can be purchased here on the night of the Final Day for 500 [[Rupee]]s.

The following terms indicate the three levels of canon as used throughout Zelda Wiki:
*A [[Bomb Bag|Big Bomb Bag]] can be purchased here if the [[Old Lady from Bomb Shop]]'s stock was stolen on the night of the first day, at a price much higher than it would be at the [[Bomb Shop]].
 
*Any items stolen by the Takkuri will be brought here to be resold.
 
Here is a table of all the items that the Curiosity Shop will sell, including items that were stolen from Link.

*{{#vardefineecho:Canon|{{Color|#00CC00|'''Canon'''}}}} — This material makes up the fictional universe and should be added to any relevant articles or sections.
{{CoolTable}}
 
  +
*{{#vardefineecho:Ambig|{{Color|#CCCC00|'''Ambiguously Canon'''}}}} — This material cannot be definitively considered canon, but as it does not necessarily contradict canon sources, is considered canon by many people. It can be added in articles or sections marked with the [[Template:Ambig|<nowiki>{{ambig}}</nowiki>]] template.
  +
*{{#vardefineecho:Noncanon|{{Color|#CC0000|'''Non-canon'''}}}} — This material is not part of the fictional universe. It can be added in articles or sections marked with the [[Template:Noncanon|<nowiki>{{noncanon}}</nowiki>]] template.

Ambiguously canon and non-canon material can be added to any article as long as it remains separate from canonical information, and is marked with the appropriate template as mentioned above.

The Japanese versions of the Zelda games are a higher form of canon than the English localizations, as they are the originals. However, since Zelda Wiki is an English wiki based in the United States, we will use the commonly placed agreement that the English titles take precedence. This means:

On Zelda Wiki, there are specific expectations of what is and isn't considered canon. Canon refers to a body of materials considered to be an official or genuine part of a fictional universe. It is what can be specifically referenced as factual information within the given universe, and so therefore, canon is often seen as the official series as released by the original creators.

What exactly constitutes and makes up the canon materials of the Zelda series is not entirely clear-cut, is often open to personal interpretation from fans, and can even vary across time. Zelda Wiki's canon policy is based upon what is commonly accepted as canon, and through developments from Nintendo.

Material and Their Levels of Canon

The following terms indicate the three levels of canon as used throughout Zelda Wiki:

  • Canon — This material makes up the fictional universe and should be added to any relevant articles or sections.
  • Ambiguously Canon — This material cannot be definitively considered canon, but as it does not necessarily contradict canon sources, is considered canon by many people. It can be added in articles or sections marked with the {{ambig}} template.
  • Non-canon — This material is not part of the fictional universe. It can be added in articles or sections marked with the {{noncanon}} template.

Ambiguously canon and non-canon material can be added to any article as long as it remains separate from canonical information, and is marked with the appropriate template as mentioned above.

Canon Issues With Languages

The Japanese versions of the Zelda games are a higher form of canon than the English localizations, as they are the originals. However, since Zelda Wiki is an English wiki based in the United States, we will use the commonly placed agreement that the English titles take precedence. This means:

  • Articles are to be named and written, and games quoted, using Nintendo of America’s translations.
  • The Japanese names of characters and places can be included in the article using the same format that is seen in the Link article.
  • Although the original Japanese can greatly differ from the English translations, these differences are not to be mentioned or noted in the main body of the article, however, significant differences can be mentioned in the trivia section of the article.
