Story[]
Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.
During the opening hours of the Milk Bar on the First and Second Days, Toto, manager of The Indigo-Go's, is testing the performance stage. Upon seeing Link, Toto asks him if he wants to help him out and perform his band's "old standby" in order to ascertain how their performance would have sounded on the Milk Bar's stage, had their performance not been cancelled due to complications. Toto asks Link to perform four different instrumental tracks; Link uses his transformation masks and their respective manifestations of the Ocarina of Time to perform the required parts. Meanwhile, Gorman is listening to the gradual performance, heckling Link and Toto for making a "racket". Upon hearing the completed song, however, Gorman is genuinely moved, and reminded of how his hearing the song sung by the Original Lulu when he was a child inspired him to join show business. As thanks, he gives Link his Circus Leader's Mask, a mask bearing his likeness.
