INTRODUCTION
Shortly after saving the land of Hyrule from the Evil Gannondorf, Link was returning
home upon his trustful horse, Epona. After a mysterious boy in a very strange mask
steals the Ocarina of Time, Link is thrust into a strange world and appears to have
been transformed into a Deku Scrub.
Even worse, a quick glance to the sky reveals a very sinister looking moon that
appears to be on a collision course with the planet. Link only has three short days
(72 hours) to save the planet and figure out who - or what - the strange masked boy
really is.
BASICS
Majora's Mask isn't your typical Zelda game. Instead of giving you a linear quest,
you are pressured by a 72-hour time limit. If you do not save the world by the end
of the third day, the moon will smash into it - killing all that call this realm
home.
The game also assumes that you have already played through the Legend of Zelda: The
Ocarina of Time, so it doesn't waste time teaching you how to control Link and
interact with the world. If you don't know the basic controls, you can find them
listed below via some handy graphics.
HOW TO PLAY:
If you have never played a Zelda game before, here is a quick rundown on how to play
the game.
Zelda is an Action-RPG, which means that while it shares some RPG elements such as
magic and treasure, all of the battles take place in real time. You can find the
controls that you will need to save your hide below, but there are still a couple
things to go over before you dive into moving Link around.
Link's life is saved via the number of hearts he has. He starts the game with three,
but by collecting heart containers he gains one more heart. These can be found by
defeating bosses, or collecting four heart pieces.
Health is re-filled by small hearts, potions, milk, and fairies.
The other part of Link is Magic. Early in the game, a Fairy will grant Link the
ability to use magical energy. Some items such as the Lens of Truth and special
Arrows also use up this power.
Magic is refilled by green bottles and potions.
CONTROLS
Link has five main action buttons. Depending what is going on, A and B will have
different functions, while the Left, Down, and Right C buttons can be assigned to
any item or mask that you choose.
GAME SCREENS
Once you get used to Link's various moves, the next aspect of the game is your
inventory screens.
Map Screen: This screen shows an overhead map of Termina, including all of the major
areas that you have already visited. A layer of clouds obscures areas that you have
yet to see.
Select Item Screen: You can view all of your items on this screen. The top shows you
bow and the various arrows, the bottom shows your bottles, and the bar on the right
is for specific quest items that are found throughout the game.
Quest Status Screen: From this screen, you can view your progress throughout the
large quest. It gives you access to your Bomber's Notebook, shows you how many heart
pieces you currently have, what bosses you have defeated, the spells that you know,
and what sword, shield, quiver, and bomb bag you currently have.
Mask Screen: The final of the pause screens shows what masks you have collected. The
three masks on the right bar are the transformation masks that turn Link into a
different form.
HEART PIECES
A common mainstay in all Zelda games in the Heart Piece. If you gather four of
these, you will receive a full Heart Container, which will add to your life total.

the observatory), and then use the launcher to reach the heart piece.

toilet the paper.

MASKS
One of the key aspects of the Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask are the unique masks
that Link will find throughout the game. Some will transform Link into new forms,
while others have very limited uses. There are a total of 24 masks in the game.
DEKU MASK
Link begins the game with this mask. As the Deku Shrub, he can hop on top of water a

the postman, and then talk to him about it.
Circus Leader's Mask: Go into the Milk Bar, and help the Zora with his sound check

NOTEBOOK
You receive the notebook by going into the tunnel that leads to the observatory and
turning left at the stream. Bomb the cracked wall to get 100 rupees, and then exit
to receive the book from the bombers gang.
WALKTHROUGH
PROLOGUE
After the introduction where Skull Kid steals Link's Ocarina and rides away on
Epona, you will once again have control of Link.
The small groups of bushes in front of the tree trunk tunnel can net you some Rupees
if you slash them with your sword. Then, continue forward through the tunnel, and
jump across the tree trunks to enter the weird mushroom building.
Once inside, Link will fall down a deep hole where he will come face to face with
Skull Kid and Link will be transformed into a little Deku shrub.
You can use this small area to get used to controlling Link as a Deku, but as soon
as you slash through the bushes they will begin to move - a hint that things in this
place are not quite normal.
Open the large door and run to the end of the hall, where you will be introduced to
your Farie companion for this game, Tatl. After you two team up, she will explain
how Link (as the Deku) can use the flowers that are on the ground to glide across
large gaps.
Glide over to the door on the other side of the room, and enter it to access a large
canyon with many platforms. Dive into the first flower and glide over to the
platform in front of you. Once there use the flower to get to the platform to your
left, where you will find a treasure chest containing a Deku Nut.
After collecting that, turn around until you can see a platform peeking out from
behind a large pillar. Use the flower to launch yourself into the air, and fly
around the pillar to land on the platform. Then use that flower to once again fly
into the air, around the two pillars in front of you, and onto the small rectangular
platform. From there, you can easily access the exit.
When Link passes through the weird twisting room, he will find himself in a slim-
covered area with a large water wheel. Run up the stairs to the left and you will
come to a small room with a door. As you approach that door, the owner of the Happy
Mask Shop will speak to Link. He will say that if you get the precious item
(Ocarina) back, he will be able to turn Link into his normal self again.
Exit through the door to access Clock Town.
CLOCK TOWN
As soon as you enter the town, Tatl will tell you to go to the Great Fairy who is
located in North Clock Town. Toget there, run around to the back of the clock tower,
and you will find an entrance to North Clock town.
The Great Fairy's room is located up the small ramps at the far end of the area.
When Link enters the center of the room, he will be told to locate the one missing
Fairy in Clock Town and to return it to the fountain.
To find it, run through East Clock Town until you get back to South Clock Town. In
the corner directly across from where you enter, you will find a small ramp that
leads to an exit, go through there to arrive in the Laundry Pool area. You will find
the Fairy floating above the water, but thankfully the Deku Link can hop across the
stream to capture the Fairy.
With the lost Fairy in hand, return to the Great Fairy shrine to receive the
ability to shoot bubbles - something that will be very useful to you at this point
in the game. When you exit out of the Fairy Shrine, you will find a small boy (Jim)
who is trying to pop a balloon with a very familiar face on it. If you use your Deku
bubble attack to pop the balloon, Jim will allow you to play a game that will give
you access to the secret passageway that will lead you to the observatory.
Jim will call five friends, who will then go hide and you will need to find them.
The first two are in North Clock Town where you are, and they usually like to hide
in the corners. Numbers three and four are located in East Clock Town. One will jump
off a roof with a chicken, and the other is located on the roof of the inn, and you
will need to use the flower to launch yourself up and scare him off. The final boy
is in West Clock town, near the top of the area.
With all four found, you will be given a passcode (be sure to write it down, as it
is random) that will give you access to the secret passage in East Clock Town.
Speak to the boy in East Clock Town, and give him the passcode that Jim and friends
did to access the passageway to the Observatory.
Once inside, you will need to hop from platform to platform over the water. Against
the far wall, a Spider will drop down. You may recognize these from Ocarina of Time,
and they are defeated the same way here. When its back is turned to you, fire off a
bubble to kill it. Then make your way around the corner into a large room with
another balloon (which just so happens to be blocking a ladder).
Pop the balloon with another bubble and climb the ladder to access a new room with a
familiar character inside. If you played Ocarina of Time, you will recognize the
Scarecrow. Just as in the previous game, you can teach him a song, so be sure to
make it one that you can easily remember!
Climb the brightly colored stairs to arrive at the telescope. Speak with the old
man, and then look through the telescope when you have the chance. Turn the
viewfinder until you see the clocktower, and zoom in to find Skull Kid on top of it,
then a blue object will shoot to the ground outside. Exit out of the telescope mode,
and go out the small door to find the Moon Tear.
Go back to the center of town to the flower launcher to trade the Moon Tear to the
Deku for a Land Title Deed. After the trade, the Deku will fly away and you will be
able to use the Flower Launcher to shoot yourself into the air and glide over to the
clocktower to find a heart piece.
Now that you have the Land Deed, it is time to get another piece of heart. Wait
until after midnight one night, and use the launcher to get on the roof of the inn.
Go inside and run down to the bottom floor. You will find a hand coming out of the
toilet asking for a paper. Give him the land deed to receive a heart piece.
Since you can't really do anything else to advance the plot until the night of the
third day, you may want to run around the town and explore a little bit. In North
Clock Town, you can find Tingle who is being held up by a balloon. Pop the balloon
and he will sell you a map of Clock Town for five rupees.
To progress the story further, wait until after midnight on the final day and you
will see a cut-scene of the clocktower opening. Use the flower launcher to get to
the opening and run inside to confront Skull Kid. You will only have five minutes to
save the world, so shoot Skull Kid with a bubble to knock the Ocarina out of his
hands. When Link picks it up, he will have a flashback of Princess Zelda teaching
him the song of time. Since you cannot defeat the masked menace yet, play the Song
of Time to return to the first day.
Tip: You can play the Song of Time backwards to slow down time.
When you arrive back in the first day, go inside the lower entrance to the clock to
encounter the Mask Merchant. He will see that you have the Ocarina and will teach
you the Song of Healing, which will transform you back into Link. He will then tell
you the story of Majora's Mask.
Even though you can now leave the town as normal Link, there are still a couple
things to do here. Firstly, you can get a new mask by going to the Laundry Pool area
at night. Talk to the guy there (who will look very familiar if you played Ocarina
of time), and listen to his guilt to get the Bremen Mask.
Also, during the night of the first day you can find another fairy floating around
East Clock Town. Use the Flower Launcher to get it and then take it to the Great
Fairy to get the Great Fairy Mask, which will attract stray fairies throughout the
game.
Next, you are able to get the Notebook, which is an extremely useful item to keep
track of what quests you have completed, as well as ones you have not yet completed.
First, go outside and slash bushes until you get fifty rupees. Then, go to West
Clock Town and buy a Bomb Bag from the bomb shop. Head over to the tunnel to the
observatory in East Clock town and use the same passcode as before to get inside.
Instead of going the same direction you did last time, take a left at the stream to
find a ledge in the wall guarded by a spider. Plant a bomb at the cracked section to
find a chest that will net you 100 rupees. Once you have those, exit the area and
the bombers will make you a member of their gang, as well as give you the Notebook.
Whenever you complete an important event or meet someone important, it will be
recorded in this book. If you check it out, you will see that the passcode has been
recorded in it, so you don't need to keep it written down if you ever need to go
back into that tunnel. The book will also give you the time of day, which is pretty
helpful.
The final thing you should do is get the Bunny Hood. To do this, exit the town
through the West Gate and head towards the ranch, which is located on the South West
corner of Termia Field. During the day of any of the days, head into the Chicken
Coop, and speak to Guru-Guru. After a short chat, put on the Bremen Mask and use
it's marching ability to herd up all of the chicks in the area. Once you have all of
them in a line, they will turn into chickens and Guru-Guru will give you the Bunny
Hood.
Note: You can only enter the ranch on the third day until you have completed the
Snowhead Temple
There really isn't much more you can do in Clock Town at this point in the game, so
exit out the south entrance and head directly south into the Southern Swamp.
DEKU PALACE
This next part of the game will take you through the Southern Swamp and into the
Deku Palace and Woodfall for the first major dungeon of the game.
As soon as you enter the swamp, head left through the water until you come to a
large pot and a sign with more pots on it. Go through that canyon to come to the
witches' store. Here you are able to buy healing potions and such, but there is a
way to get a free bottle here as well as safe passage to the Deku Palace.
Go into the cave behind the building to encounter a little monkey who will ask you
to follow him. The following sequence is just like the Lost Woods in Ocarina of
Time, but the directions that the monkey moves are always the same. However, if you
return here on the second or third day, the directions will be different.
At the end of the trip, you will encounter an injured witch. After speaking to her,
return to the building and climb up to the entrance. Speak to the witch inside, and
she will give you a potion in a bottle to take to her injured friend.
Re-enter the cave and follow the above directions back to the witch, give her the
potion when prompted and she will be healed. You will also get to keep the bottle,
which will be useful later on.
Exit from that area and back into the main swamp. Run back the way you came in and
climb up to the large building. There is a Deku up there who will sell Deku Link
some Magic Beans (once Link learns how to use them, which will be soon), but your
main goal here is inside.
Enter the building and go to the small shack in the corner and speak to the witch
inside. She will give you the Photograph Box, as well as allow you to ride her boat,
which will take you to the Deku Palace.
Since this Palace is for Deku only, you'll need to be Deku Link to get in. Go
straight ahead and enter the throne room. Speak with both the King and the Monkey,
and then exit.
The doorway to the right of where you came in leads to a maze where you have to
avoid guards (like in the castle in Ocarina of Time), that ends in a hole that will
lead you to the Magic Bean seller. After buying the beans, you need to plant them in
a soft patch of land, and then water them with a bottle of spring water (one of the
many uses for the bottle). Fill up your bottle with some water in the pond, plant
the bean in the tan square and then water it. A large plant will appear that you can
use to reach a chest high on the wall, which contains some rupees. Fill up the
bottle with more water to use later and buy more beans, then exit out of that area,
and enter the other maze across from the one you just completed to find a heart
piece at the end of it.
Leave the gates, and hop across the lilypads to the right of the boards to come to
a small area with another patch of land where you can plant another bean. Do that
and water it to form another lift. Ride it up to find a flower shooter. What you
need to do, is launch yourself from flower to flower until you reach the cave
opening that will lead you to the monkey's cell. The only opposition you will find
will be Deku Shrubs on about every other platform, which will fire off Deku Nuts at
you. You can either bomb them from above with a nut of your own, or fire a bubble at
them before gliding to their platform. The second strategy is a lot safer, thus is
the recommended one.
When you reach the Monkey's Cell, show him the Ocarina and he will teach you the
Sonata of Awakening, which will open up the entrance to the Woodfall Temple. After
Link is tossed out of the throne room, once again leap on the lilypads to the right,
but this time head to the small ledge. From there, you need to glide from giant
flower to giant flower while avoiding or killing the giant bugs flying around.
Halfway through the area, Link will meet up with the familiar owl that is standing
on a tablet. After he flies away, examine the tablet to learn the Song of Soaring,
which will allow you to travel to any owl statue that you have hit with your sword -
a very handy song.
After you reach the Woodfall area, hop to the area to your right, and follow the
walkways (while defeating the enemies on the way) to the platform in the center.
Switch to link and hit the Owl with your sword and then use it to save your game.
Then stand on the center marker and play the Sonata of Awakening to reveal the
entrance to the Woodfall Temple. Finally, switch to Deku Link to glide over and
enter the dungeon.
WOODFALL TEMPLE
Stray Fairy Locations
Directly in front of you as you enter the dungeon.
From the entrance, glide to the platform to the right and open the chest.
In the second room (with the large mechanical looking flower in the center), run
down the ramp to the left and kill the piranha flower to find Fairy #3.
Again in the second room, on the platform with the five pots in the corner.
Defeat a spider in the corner of the push-block room.
Hidden in the beehive under the middle upper platform in the push-block room.
Floating in a pink globe in the big flower room after you defeat the mini-boss and
get the boss key.
Located once again in the big flower room, glide over to the switch on the tree as
Deku Link, and turn into normal Link to depress the switch. The chest will appear
near the entrance to the room.
In the push block room, after you turn the water normal, swim under the middle
walkway.
In a beehive next to the door where you fight the Gekko.
Easily missed in the room with the Black Boes. Kill all the Boes to make a chest
appear.
In the final room before the boss, in a pink globe in the fire. Use your bow to pop
it, then the fairy mask to lure it to you.
In that same room, on one of the ledges to the right of the entrance.
Same room, on another ledge to the right of the entrance.
On a ledge to the left of the entrance in that same room.
Special Items
1 Small Key
1 Boss Key
1 Map
1 Compass
1 Hero Bow
From the entrance you can grab the first Stray Fairy by putting on the Great Fairy
Mask. Then, switch to Deku Link and glide over to the right platform to open the
chest and find a second Stray Fairy. Next glide from platform to platform to reach
the exit on the opposite side of the room. Ignore the two spiders there, and enter
the door to find a very large central area with four exits.
Defeat the plant, and then run down the ramp to the left to kill another plant and
find Fairy #3. Then climb back up the ramp and jump off the far edge (toward the
pots below) as Deku Link. Destroy all five pots to find the fourth Stray Fairy.
From there hop across the water to the doorway that is bordered by three pillars,
and go inside. In this next room, you will find a flower launcher surrounded by four
of the red plants. Hop to one of the plants, and then to the flower. Launch yourself
over to the platform with the chest and open it to find a Small Key. Finally, use
the flower to launch you over to the other door in the room to encounter a small
mini boss.
This room contains three Snappers, annoying little Turtles that spin at you as their
attack. The way to defeat them is to drill into one of the flowers, and then pop out
as soon as they are passing over it. Repeat that for all three Snappers and then a
chest holding the dungeon map will appear in the center of the room.
Return to the big center room (with the mechanical flower), and hop over to the
locked door and use your key on it. The next room will be referred to as the push-
block room, as there is a giant block that you can push in the center of the room.
Shove it forward and then head to the right and follow that path around. Defeat the
spider in the corner to find a Stray Fairy, and then run forward to encounter the
block once again. Push it forward and then run to the right and head up the stairs.
Face the center platform and shoot the beehive as Deku Link. When if falls to the
ground, put on the Great Fairy Mask to lure the sixth Fairy.
Go back to the lower floor, and run over to the corner where you fought the spider.
Get a Deku Stick out, and light it on fire. Run over to the barred door, and light
the torch there to open it. Go inside to fight two Dragonflies (you can either shoot
them with bubbles or launch out of the flowers to hit them in mid-air), and then you
will get the Compass when they are defeated.
Re-enter the push-block room, and light a stick at the torch. Run up the stairs to
the left and light the torch at the top (then put away the stick to conserve it.
Turn into Deku Link and shoot the beehive under the middle platform then put on the
Fairy Mask to get another Stray Fairy. Then light another stick as Link and jump
forward, then left, and burn the spider webs with the fire. Put away the Deku Stick
to preserve it, and run up the stairs.
In this next room, darkness and a hoard of Black Boe's will greet Link. In the
center of the main room is a torch. Light a stick, and then run around the room in a
counter-clockwise fashion to light three other torches, which will then unlock a
door.
When you reach a large room with floating flower platforms, switch to Deku Link and
go down to the lower level to kill the Dragonflies. This will make hovering from
flower to flower much easier. At the far side of the room is a set of stairs that
will take you up to the second level of the large mechanical flower room.
After climbing the stairs turn to your right to find a fairy in a pink globe,
collect it then run to the other doorway (as Link), and stand on the switch to make
two ladders appear. Enter the door, turn right and then enter yet another doorway to
meet another mini-boss, Dinofols. This battle is actually pretty easy. As Link, keep
the lizard Z-Targeted and circle around him with your shield ready. When you have an
open shot, hit him with your sword. If he begins to breathe fire, back away before
moving in close again. After three hits, he will be defeated and a chest holding the
Hero Bow will appear!
Exit the room, and then shoot the yellow diamond on the far wall with an arrow. The
small flower launcher in the middle of the room will begin to move up and down,
which will allow Deku Link to reach the far door.
Inside you will encounter a Gekko, who will call in a Snapper friend of his after
you hit him a couple times. He will ride around the room on top of the turtle, so
you need to use Deku link to knock him off the same way you defeated the Snapper's
earlier in the dungeon. Once he is off, he will crawl along the walls and ceiling,
so switch to Link then Z-Target him, and shoot him with an arrow. Repeat this three
times to unlock to door at the far end of the room to find the Boss Key.
Return to the big mechanical flower room and stand on top of the switch you stepped
on earlier. Arm the bow and aim through the fire at the unlit torch in the center of
the flower. By lighting it with an arrow, the flower will begin to rotate, rise out
of the water, and cure the poison.
Next either use Deku Link or normal link to get on top of the flower, then aim
through the torch to light another torch on a tree in the corner of the room. This
will open a door giving you access to the second to last room in the dungeon.
Inside here use Deku Link to climb up the ledges to the right of the door. At the
final ledge switch to Link and fire an arrow at the far crystal. This will put out
the fires on the two center pillars. Switch to Deku Link and glide to the first
pillar. From there, turn around and hop down to the flower launcher under the small
room. Launch out of that one; hover over the first pillar and land on the second.
Use that launcher to reach the far roof, where the final launcher will give you
access to the boss door.
Boss: Odolwa
The first main boss of the game looks a lot more intimidating than he really is. In
addition to hopping around and trying to hit Link, Odolwa will summon a ring of
fire, as well as bugs to annoy you. The fire is easy to avoid, just stand in the
center and wait for it to disappear. Use Z-Targeting to lock on him and strike him
with your sword whenever you have a clear shot.
About halfway through the battle, Odolwa will begin to summon bugs to help him out.
These are easily dealt with by placing a bomb on the ground. Like a moth to a flame,
they will surround it until it explodes, thus getting rid of them all at once.
Continue hitting Odolwa whenever you get the chance and he will fall.
After you defeat the boss, be sure to grab the heart container BEFORE getting the
mask-like object, then a cut-scene will be shown and Link will learn the Oath to
Order.
Once that scene ends, Link will find himself in a small room with the Deku Princess
behind some vines. Slash the vines with your sword, put the princess in your bottle
for transport, and then return to the palace.
Location of Fairy Shrine: After you collect all 15 Stray Fairies in the temple, you
need to turn them into a fairy shrine. The one in woodfall is located not far from
the location where you played the Sonata of Awakening. It is against the wall in a
large cave that you need to use the launchers to get to.
With the princess safely returned, you can continue on your quest. Leave the temple
and hop on the lily pads to the left of the entrance. Make sure you have at least
one arrow, and then enter the cave at the end of the lily pad path. Inside you will
find a Deku who will have you follow him through some tunnels. As long as you have
the Bunny Hood, you will be able to run right along side the Deku throughout the
entire tunnel system. Toward the end, you will find another crystal that you will
have to shoot with an arrow to proceed, and when you reach the end you will receive
the Mask of Scents.
Head back into the swamp, and put on the Mask of Scents near the owl statue. When
you see a purple cloud of smoke, use your bottle to capture a mushroom. Take that
mushroom to the witch in the hut to get a heart piece if you return to her later.
It's now time to move onto the next section of the game, where Link will travel to
the showy mountains, encounter the Gorons, and bring spring back to the land.
MOUTAIN TOWN
Either run back to the town, or use the Song of Soaring to get there (the song is
much faster), and then exit out of the north gate. Head to the blue ramp, and use an
arrow to shoot the icicle twice, which will open up the path to the Mountain Village.
The first path on your way to the village will be blocked in one section by a wall
of giant snowballs. Pull out a bomb and use it to blast your way past, and then
continue on your way. When you reach the area with the cabin, run through the
passageway behind it (the one with the two giant snowballs) to reach the trail
leading to the Goron Village.
Follow the rope bridges, and when you arrive in the Goron area, seek out the Owl. He
will speak to Link, and then fly over a large chasm. As he flies, he will drop
feathers on what appear to be invisible platforms. Jump from platform to platform
until you reach a cave. Inside, you will find the Lens of Truth that will allow you
to see hidden objects such as platforms, ladders, doors, and even people.
Leave the cave, and use the Lens of Truth to view all of the platforms. When you
finish crossing them, Link will see a ghost of an old Goron through the lens. Speak
with him, and then follow as he asks you to.
The ghost will lead you out past the cabin, and over a pond with floating slabs of
ice in it. Use the Lens of Truth to see a set of ladders leading up the cliff. At
the top, enter the cave and speak to the ghost. He will give Link the Goron Mask if
you play the Song of Healing for him.
If you pull the stone that is in the center of the room as Goron Link, you will make
a hot spring appear. By using a bottle in the water, you will receive a bottle of
hot spring water that will stay warm for a couple minutes. If you do not use it
within the time limit, it will become a normal bottle of spring water.
Fill a bottle, and run outside. Use it on the frozen Goron to thaw him out. Return
inside and fill up another bottle. Put on the Bunny Hood and run back to the area
leading to the Goron Village (the one with the robe bridges. Jump to the lower left-
hand area and run along until you see a giant snowball that Tatl will turn green
over. Switch to Goron Link and smash the snowball to reveal an old frozen Goron.
Quickly use the warm spring water to thaw him out, and then talk to him. Keep
talking to him, as a Goron, and he will teach you the first part of the Goron
Lullaby (you may have to show him your instrument to get him to do so).
Go to the Goron Village and speak to the first Goron you see when you enter the
area. He will stomp the ground and the door to the inside of the village will open.
Jump off the cliff to your right to reach the door before it closes.
When you get inside, you will be greeted by the incredibly annoying crying of the
baby Goron. Follow the ramp upwards, and go through the doorway to find the upset
baby. Play the first part of the Lullaby that you learned, and the baby will teach
you the remainder and finally shut up.
Use the Song of Soaring to go back to the Mountain Town, and find the sign that says
Snowhead. Go through that exit, and then turn into Goron Link as soon as you get to
the other side. What you need to do here is use the Goron's super fast charged Spin
Dash to roll up the hills and over the ramps. To do this move, hold down B while
pressing up as far as the analog stick can go. When the Goron grows spikes, he will
be moving as fast as possible and will be able to jump across the gaps.
At the top, you will find another owl statue so you will never have to go through
that whole ramp jumping sequence again. Then you will be at Snowhead, with one more
task to complete before you can enter Snowhead temple.
If you try walking on the narrow walkway, poor little Link will be blown away by a
powerful wind. Even with the increased strength of the Goron Mask, he cannot pass by
the blizzard. If you use the Lens of Truth, you can see that the cause of the wind
is actually a giant Goron. Play the Goron Lullaby to put him to sleep and allow you
to pass.
Run up the walkway to the left of the mountain to reach the entrance to Snowhead
Temple.
SNOWHEAD TEMPLE
Stray Fairy Locations
In the room where Goron Link spins across the bridge, it is in a bubble under a
ledge.
In that same room, it is in a bubble inside a pillar. You need to shoot this one
from below - shooting from above will not work.
In the lower room with the lava pools, step on a switch and then grab the chest as
Goron Link.
Located in the room with the Real Bombchu where you get the Dungeon Map.
Once you have the fire arrows, return to the Real Bombchu room and shoot the eye
switch to raise the center platform. Run over to the side of the room without a
door, and use the Lens of Truth to see steps that will lead you up to the fairy that
is in a chest.
Through the first small key door, use fire arrows to melt the ice around the block
and the switch. Then use the switch to make a chest appear. Push the block so Link
can leap to the ledge and open the chest to find a fairy.
In the same room, toss a bomb at the box on top of the pillar.
Once again in that room, push the block so that you can leap to the opposite ledge.
Go through the door to find yourself in the room with the double push-block from
earlier. Jump over to the opposite ledge and open the chest to find the fairy.
In the room with the pillars with frozen blocks on top of them, use the bunny hood
to leap over to a hidden ledge (you can see it using the Lens of Truth), and open
the chest to find the fairy.
Located in the small puzzle room with the round pillars that you stomp on, use the
Lens of Truth to find it in a bubble at the ceiling.
Melt all the ice enemies in the room through the green door.
Found behind a hidden wall in the room with the snowball monsters before the lizard
room.
Kill both lizards in the room before the boss key.
Kill both lizards in the room before the boss key.
Once you have the giant center pillar pointing toward the boss room, use the Lens of
Truth and look over the edge to find a hidden room. Do a running jump with the Bunny
Hood on to reach the room and find the fairy in a chest.
Special Items
1 Dungeon Map
1 Compass
3 Small Keys
1 Fire Arrows
From the entrance go through the blue door on the right side of the room. In the
next room, put on the Goron mask, charge up a roll, and spin across the bridge. Go
through the blue door to the left, and then turn right and go down a set of stairs.
If you are wearing the Goron Mask, you will be able to walk over the lava here. In
one of the pools you'll find a switch. Step on it as Goron Link to make a chest
appear that holds a fairy. Run back up the stairs, and back through the blue door.
Switch to normal Link and jump over to the small ledge to the right. In the next
room, you will find a Real Bombchu, a fairy, and a chest that holds the Dungeon Map.
Exit this room, and then go back through the blue door. Run across to the yellow
door, and go inside. Find the two gray boxes and pull them backward to reveal a
small room with a chest. Open the chest to find the first small key of the dungeon.
Then push or pull the two blocks all the way to the far end of the room where it
will drop down into the ground slightly and a chest will appear on a ledge above.
With your newly acquired small key, return to the entrance room and go through the
locked door. In this next room, you can get two fairies (as detailed on the fairy
location list). Then, bomb the cracked wall in the back of the room to reveal a
staircase to the next area.
In this area, you will find pillars with frozen blocks on top of them. To get past
them arm your bow and look toward the ceiling. Shoot the icicles at the top of the
room, and they will fall down and destroy the blocks, clearing a path for you. Jump
from pillar to pillar to reach the giant snowball. Turn into Goron Link to smash the
snowball and find a chest holding another small key.
Exit through the locked door to find yourself in a small puzzle room. Turn into
Goron Link and stomp the gold platform to make two appear, one in front of the exit
door and another making a platform that you will be able to reach the other side of
the room with. Switch to Link and jump from the platform to the far ledge, then turn
back into the Goron. Pound the blue platform, then switch back to normal Link to run
back to the large gold one that you jumped on a few seconds ago. Stomp it as the
Goron to reveal the door. As Link, use the lower blue platform to haul yourself up
the ledge and exit the room.
After you enter this area switch to Goron Link and roll across the bridge. Then roll
along the snowy slope to your left, and then over one more bridge to reach a mini-
boss.
This guy isn't too tough as long as you wear the Bunny Hood. He will teleport
himself around the room, and then stop on one square and shoot a freezing spell at
you. If you hit him while he is spinning, you can prevent a lot of pain and
suffering. After you hit him a couple times, he will teleport even more around the
room, which is why you want to be wearing the Bunny Hood. As soon as he solidifies,
hit him with your sword, and then wait for him to reappear to repeat your pummeling.
When you defeat him, Link will receive the Fire Arrows.
Now that you have the Fire Arrows, you need to get the final small key. Return to
the first room where you rolled across the bridge. Equip the fire arrows and melt
all of the ice in the room to make a chest appear. Open the chest to get the final
key.
Next you need to find a way to get to the top of the center "silo", so return to the
big round area with the white platform in the center. Melt the ice around the green
doors and go inside. Light the torches using arrows to open a door, and melt the ice
monsters to make a chest holding a fairy appear. Go inside the newly opened door,
and stomp it as Goron Link. The giant pillar will race to the ceiling.
Then work your way up the room by going through the Real Bombchu room (if you go the
other way, your path will be blocked by the pillar). Shoot the switch to make the
platform rise, and use Goron Link to roll along the showy walls as you climb up the
center silo. Before you reach the top, you will enter a room with two Dinofols.
Defeat them the same way you did the single one while in Woodfall Temple, and then
you will receive two hidden fairies.
At the top, you will see the white platform once again. Run across it and you will
have to fight the mini-boss a second time. The strategy to defeat him this time is
the same as before, except he has more teleporters to zip around to.
When you defeat him this second time, a door will open which will give you access to
the Boss Key, but you will have one more thing to do before you can reach this
temple's minion. Since the large central pillar has risen to the top of the central
room, it is blocking the path to the boss's door. What you need to do is make your
way up to the blue portions of the pillar and punch them as Goron Link.
Once that is done, you will finally be able to reach the boss door.
Boss: Goht
Compared to Odolwa, Goht is relatively easy. When you first enter the room you will
have to melt the ice around the beast by using an Ice Arrow. Then, turn into Goron
Link and begin to roll after him. You need to charge up to full speed, and then
continually slam into the mechanical farm animal. If you run low on Magic, there are
bottles all over the track that will refill you. After a few hits, he will fall on
the ground. Instead of stopping your roll to punch at him, you can pin yourself
between its legs and get multiple hits off by continuing to roll.
As you damage him, Goht will begin to throw more and more attacks at you. First he
will throw lightning and rocks, followed by bombs. Simply steer around these and
continue to hit him.
When Goht is defeated, you will gain another heart piece, and its remains. Gather
up the heart piece and then stand in the blue light to see spring return to the
mountains.
Location of Fairy Shrine: After you collect all 15 Stray Fairies in the temple, you
need to turn them into a fairy shrine. The Snowhead shrine is located on the
same "mountain" that the dungeon is. Instead of running up the ramp to the entrance
of the temple, run along the back of the mountain to find the shrine.
Note: If it is not still the first day, you may want to travel back in time and
quickly defeat the boss again since this next quest is time-sensitive.
Go inside the cabin in the mountain village and speak to the blacksmith inside. For
100 rupees he will upgrade your sword. Pay him that, and then use the Song of Double
Time to fast forward to the next day. When you get your new sword, they will tell
you that this upgrade will not last long. If you travel back in time, your sword
will be back to normal.
However, if you bring them some Gold Dust, they will be able to permanently upgrade
your sword. You can get this magic dust by competing in the Goron Races, but giant
boulders block the entrance.
Turn into Goron Link, and go into the village. Against one of the walls is an
entrance where you can get a Powder Keg. If Goron Link can carry it to the entrance
to the Goron Races, you will gain the ability to use the Powder Keg and it will show
up in your item screen.
Carry the keg out of the village, and over the rope bridges. Place it on the ground
in front of the boulders, and then wait for it to blow up (or shoot it with an arrow
as Link). Inside, you are able to compete in the Goron Races. Roll into a ball and
charge to full speed to try to win. It may take a couple attempts, but when you
finally win you will receive another bottle and it will be filled with Gold Dust.
Take the dust and your sword back to the blacksmiths and allow them to do their job.
Fast forward to the next morning to get your fully upgraded sword.
Get Epona: Now that you have the Powder Keg, you can blow up the blocked entrance to
the ranch. Go there to speak to Romani, and help her fend off the ghosts until
morning. When that is complete, you will have finished her notebook entry, and she
will teach you Epona's Song, which will allow you to ride Epona once again!
GREAT BAY COAST
After Link has been re-united with Epona, you can access a couple of new areas. The
first one you should hit is Great Bay Coast. Not only will you get the Zora mask
here, but also there are two dungeons that are located here as well as some small
quests to do.
Your first task is to get to the Bay. Exit out of West Clock Town and call Epona.
Ride down the beach at a full gallop to jump over the barriers and enter Great Bay
Coast.
Once you arrive there, you will be in an area with two buildings. The one to the
left holds another Spider Dungeon, which you can read about in the Side Quests
section. Out in the water is a building on a wooden platform. If you swim out there,
you can hit the owl statue to allow you to return to this point via the Song of
Soaring.
To get the Zora mask, swim out in the bay until you are about halfway between the
building and the beach. You should see an injured Zora floating in the water. Push
him to the shore and then play the Song of Healing for him to receive the Zora mask.
Now that you can swim underwater, you can get inside the Pirate Fortress and get the
Hookshot as well as some items that are needed to learn the next important song.
Swim underwater near the cliff walls (from the right of the beach) and you'll see
four wooden boards. Use the Zora's special power to smash open the second board from
the left, and then swim through the tunnel.
When you get into the next area, there will be four boats patrolling the bay. They
will all four be on one side at a time, so that will give you a clear path to dive
into the water. You need to swim over to the left side of the bay, wait until the
boats are not near, then get out of the water and stomp a switch as Goron Link. That
will open a grate that will give you access to the lower levels of the Pirate's
Fortress.
The first area of the underwater portion of the fortress is a maze of sorts. Smash
through the wooden door, then pull the block in the corner backwards. Smash through
two more wooden barriers and then push another block forward to swim to the end of
the maze and up a small current.
In the next hall run along the ground and around the mines to avoid a current that
will push you out into the bay. At the end of the hall, swim up and go through the
door. Carefully swim around the mines, and then climb up on dry ground. Run up the
ramp and shoot the crystal with an arrow to open another door down below for a short
period of time.
TIP: There is a heart piece in this area, which you can get by using Goron Link to
smash some barrels to find a switch, then put on the Bunny Hood to run down to the
heart before the door closes again.
Swim through the door quickly then slowly wade your way through the surface of the
water and around more mines to avoid another annoying current.
When you reach the next room, you need to step on the switch to open a grating. Then
stand on the round drain, and shoot an arrow at the crystal to start a water
elevator that will raise you up to the upper level. In this final room, drop down to
the floor, climb the ladder, and shoot the crystal with an arrow that will open the
door below.
Run through that door to find yourself outside, and run up the ramp to get to the
central part of the fortress.
Your goal here is to climb up the ladder in the middle of the area. The problem is,
there are Pirates patrolling the entire fortress. You can use your arrows to
incapacitate them until you pass by. KO any that may see you, then climb the ladder.
Pelt the one Pirate at the top with an arrow, and then run through the door. Inside
you will see a small cut-scene, and after that you will be able to look through a
grate. Fire one arrow at the beehive in the room, and the pirates will run out.
Leave this hall and jump down one level. Enter the room that you were just looking
into, and then you will find the Hookshot.
Since you probably only have three bottles at this point (one from the witch,
another from Romani Ranch, and the third from the Goron races) it's time to get the
fourth bottle to make the next part of the game much easier.
Leave the fortress and run along the beach until you come to a waterfall. Down in
the pool under the waterfall is a Like Like that you can kill for a heart piece.
Next look around until you see ledges on the cliff walls with palm trees. You can
use the Hookshot to go from palm tree to palm tree until you get to the top of the
waterfall. Once there, race the beavers twice. After winning the second race, they
will give you the fourth bottle.
PIRATE FORTRESS
Return to the fortress and since you now have the hookshot, you no longer need to go
through the underwater section. Right across from where you stomped the switch
earlier is a Hookshot patch, and you can use that to grapple over to the entrance.
To the left of where you enter, there is a square pillar up high. Use you hookshot
to grapple up there, and then turn around to see yet another pillar. Grapple up
again and go through the door.
Inside, wait for the pirate to pass by (or shoot her with an arrow), and then run
past using the bunny hood and enter the door at the end of the hall to fight a
Orange pirate. After about two or three hits, she will be defeated and you will gain
access to a room that has a Zora egg in a tank. Use the Zora mask to dive down to
the bottom and place the egg in a bottle.
When you exit that room, quickly run across the yard, grapple up two more pillars,
and then enter the door to your left. Inside you will have to avoid another Pirate,
only this time she has very sensitive hearing. The guard can hear you when you run,
so you need to walk VERY slowly, and try to pelt her with an arrow if you can.
Through the next door you will face the Green pirate, who is about twice as powerful
as the previous fight. The next egg is right past this battle, then exit the room,
and grapple over to the pillar directly in front of you.
Run back across the yard, and grapple back up the first pillar that you used
earlier. Then get up on the second and turn around. You'll see yet another pillar.
Use your hookshot to get up there, then quickly shoot the Pirate up there with an
arrow. Run across the bridge and enter the door. Inside shoot the three Pirates,
open the chest, then run up the ramp and enter another door to fight the Purple
pirate.
The final Zora egg is located in the same room where you got the hookshot, so you
already know how to get in there.
Before you leave the Fortress pull out your camera and try to get a good shot of one
of the Pirates. Then leave the fortress and go back to the beach.
TIP: If you already have the stone mask, it is easier to get a shot as the Pirates
will ignore you with the mask on.
Enter the building where the owl statue is, and dump the eggs into the tank. You
must be standing in the middle part of the grate for them to go in the water.
Exit and go to the two buildings on the beach and enter the right one. Speak to the
seahorse and the man will tell you that if you bring him a picture of a pirate, he
will give you the seahorse. Show him the picture (if it is bad, he'll ask for a
better one and you'll have to return to the fortress), and he will give you the
seahorse.
Swim out to the two pillar-like rocks and go between them. When you enter the next
area, free the seahorse from his bottle, and he will lead you safely to Pinnacle
Rock. Kill all of the sea snakes using the Zora magic attack (R while swimming) and
you'll get a heart piece as well as the final three Zora eggs.
Take the final three eggs back to the tank where you dumped the first four, and you
will learn the New Wave Bossanova, which is needed to enter the Great Bay Temple.
Run along to beach to the second area, and swim out to the place that looks like a
giant fish fin. Go inside, and then run out to the back where you will encounter a
quiet Zora. Play the New Wave Bossanova. A giant turtle will appear, and he will
take you to the Great Bay Temple if you use the hookshot on the palm tree and get on
his back.
GREAT BAY TEMPLE
Stray Fairy Locations
Light the four torches in the room where the turtle drops you off to make a chest
appear.
Underwater in a bubble right after the entrance.

key. Use the Hookshot to smash the pot.
Located in the room where you turn the green crank. Make an ice platform in the
north corner by the yellow pipes, and use the Hookshot to pull yourself up to the
ceiling where you'll find the fairy chest.
In the room with the second water wheel. Stop the wheel then hookshot yourself to
the chest while standing on one of the wheel's blades.
In that same room, hookshot over to it while standing on the horizontal moving
platform.
Found in the room with the teeter totters, have Zora Link swim under the first
teeter totter to find it in a large barrel.
In that same room, have Zora Link climb along the pipe to the south of the crank,
and then drop down into the small caged-off area. Use the hookshot to reach the
chest.
Located in the room right before the boss, under the large green crank in a bubble.
Pop it with an arrow then lure it with the mask.
In that same room, in the tunnel that leads back to the giant propeller room. Pop
the bubble with Zora Link's boomerangs and then lure it to dry ground with the Fairy
mask.
Special Items
1 Dungeon Map
1 Compass
1 Small Key
1 Boss Key
1 Ice Arrows
The Great Bay Temple is not quite has tough as previous dungeons, but it is more
reliant on puzzle-type situations.
Your first puzzle greets you once you pass through the first door. To the left and
right of you will be moving platforms that will take you up to the upper level. The
problem is, there is a big gap that you cannot jump over.
Put on the Zora mask, and swim to the far right corner of the room. Underwater you
will find a crank. Push that to make a waterspout appear that makes a bridge that
will allow you to cross the gap on the upper level.
Run along the walkway into the next room where you see a giant propeller stirring a
current. This is one of the main rooms of the dungeon, as many of the other areas
are accessed from here, thus it will be referred to a lot in this walkthrough.
Turn into Zora Link, dive into the water, and then swim with the current and go
through the upper passageway that has both green and red pipes going into it. In the
next room, swim until you see a passageway with two blue hands. Swim towards them
and use the Zora magic attack (R button) to kill them. Speed through the passage,
climb out of the water, and enter the door.
In the pool in the middle of this room, there is another hand at the bottom as well
as a chest that holds the Small Key. Kill the hand and loot the chest. If you jump
into the swiftly moving current by the door, you will be taken back to the propeller
room (exactly where you want to go).
Again, swim along the current and then enter the bottom passageway with the single
red pipe going into it. Climb up onto the red pipe, and enter the locked door. The
next room will have twelve pots and two slimes. The slimes will continually re-
appear so you can fill up both your magic and arrows before you exit out the far
door to fight the first mini-boss.
Your first boss fight in the Great Bay Temple will be against a Wart. When you enter
the room, look toward the ceiling to begin the fight. Then when it begins, use your
hookshot or arrows to pull the pink eyes away from the center mass, and then shoot
the eye with an arrow or hookshot when you have a clear path to it. After three
hits, the rest of the eyes will drop off and it will start to roll around the room.
Slash through the eyes with your sword and then slash the Wart in its eye when it is
open. Two hits will do it, and then you will receive the Ice Arrows!
Exit out of the room, through the one with the slimes, and back into the room with
the large red crank in the center of it. Now it is time to put those new Ice Arrows
to use. Run down the red pipe and shoot one of the Octoroks with an ice arrow to
turn it into an ice block. You can then use that block to reach the red crank and
turn it, which will cause water to flow through some of the red pipes in the
dungeon.
Return to the propeller room through the blue-ish passageway and once again go
through the top tunnel with the red and green pipes. Get out of the water and shoot
ice arrows into the water to form stepping stones that you can use to reach the far
door. Go inside and shoot the slime with another ice arrow to turn it into a block
that you can push against the red crank and hoist yourself up. Push the crank to
cause water to flow through the remainder of the red pipes.
Head to the room where you got the Small Key, and use Ice Arrows to reach the hall
with the icicles. Melt them and the ice block with a fire arrow, and go inside to
fight another Gekko mini-boss. When you have a clear shot, fire an arrow at him.
When he sticks to the ceiling, fire an ice arrow at the blob to freeze it and cause
it to crash to the ground. Repeat that process until he is dead and the door to the
Boss Key will open.
Go back to the big propeller room, and climb out of the water. Jump on to the
propeller and pull yourself up onto the walkway to get back to the first room. Turn
to your right and use the hookshot on the panel on the ceiling to get on top of the
waterspout. Leap over to the red crank and turn it. Then drop down and turn the
yellow crank. That will reverse the current in the propeller room.
Return to the propeller room and get across to the far platform. Freeze the
waterfall and climb the ladder. In the next room, use Ice Arrows to make platforms
in the water to reach the crank, then turn it and go back to the propeller room.
Dive into the new direction of the current and enter the other tunnel with the red
and green pipes. Speed through it to reach a new room with another propeller. Get on
the vertically moving platform, then freeze the waterfall to stop the propeller and
get access to the next room.
This room has many teeter-totters scattered about, which you use to reach the green
grank by using a combination of fire and water arrows to stop and start the
waterfalls. To get out of the room, go the the one near the entrance and stand on
the end closest to the ground, and then shoot a fire arrow at the icy top to cause a
waterfall to raise you up to the walkway. Enter the door to the next room, then work
your way up to the crank. Turn it to make a new waterspout appear, then enter the
boss door.
Boss: Gyorg
This boss can be a pain, but he can also be easy if you act quickly.
There are two ways to defeat this guy:
The easiest way is if you are full on magic, shoot an arrow at the fish as normal
Link to stun it. Then dive into the water as Zora Link and drill into it using the R-
button attack. Repeat that three or four times to defeat him.
The second way is a little harder, and only should be attempted if you are
completely out of magic. Dive in as Zora Link and punch him repeatedly.
Fairy Fountain Location: The fairy fountain for this temple is located on the cliffs
to the right of Zora Cape. Use the hookshot to cross the palm tree islands, then use
a Powder Keg to destroy a giant rock and open the path to the fountain. By turning
in the 15 Great Bay Temple fairies, you will gain the white outlines around your
hearts, which increases your defense.
With the Temple cleared, you can go inside the concert hall to view a concert, then
you should make your way to Ikana Canyon, where you will encounter more mini-quests
and the final Temple.
IKANA CANYON
Your final task in the game before facing off against Majora's Mask will be to
travel east of Clock Town to Ikana Canyon and solve the mystery of the Stone Tower.
To get into the canyon, you must first have Epona (which you should by now), the
Garo's Mask, and the Hook Shot.
Ride Epona east of Clock Town and jump over the two fences to get to the large
cliff. The guy at the top won't let Link in, but if you put on the Garo Mask, he
will make a Hook Shot target appear, which you can use to get into the canyon.
From there, walk forward and use Ice Arrows to turn the Octorocks into frozen blocks
and then jump across to the dock on the other side. After that, use your Hook Shot
on each target on the ledges to reach the top of the cliff. Once up there, you can
activate the Owl Statue to never have to go through that again.
Tip: When Tatl says something about sensing something that cannot be seen, put on
your Garo Mask to fight a Garo. Upon defeat, he will give you a small tip about the
area.
After activating the Statue, run to the far rear of the area and enter a cave.
Inside, you will encounter another ghost - only this one will continually damage
you. The way to get past this part is to simply pull out your Ocarina and play the
Song of Storms (taught to you in the Ikana Graveyard side-quest). When you play it,
the pain will stop and the river will be restored.
Return outside and you will see a girl playing by the river. You now need to get
past her to get another mask. If you have the Stone Mask you can simply put it on
and run into the music box house. If you do not have the Stone Mask, you need to
plant a bomb to distract her, then run into the house.
Inside you will encounter a mummy, instead of attacking it - play the Song of
Healing and he will give you the Gibdo Mask.
Once you have that, your next task will to be to dive into the well on the north
section of the area. Before you go in you should have the following items: 5 Magic
Beans, 10 Bombs, 10 Deku Nuts, 1 Bottle of Milk, 1 Blue Potion (you can buy it from
the Deku in the Canyon), 1 Bug, and 1 Bottle of Water.
All of those you can get outside of the well (as well as inside, but it is better to
go in prepared). There are a couple items that you can only get inside, and they
are: 2 Fresh Fish (in pools inside), 1 Bottle of Hot Water (you can get this
outside, but by the time you get back to the well it would have cooled), 1 Big Poe.
And the final thing you need is the Gibdo Mask, which will allow you to speak to the
mummies inside the well.
TIP: All of the items that are needed for the well are much easier to get if you
have all six bottles. The locations are:
1. Get the medicine for the sick witch in the Southern Swamp. It will come in your
first bottle.
2. Complete Romani's notebook entry at the ranch to receive the third bottle full of
milk.
3. Win the Goron races and you will get a bottle filled with gold dust.
4. Win the Beaver races in Great Bay (you need the Hookshot to get above the
waterfall where they are held) to get this bottle.
5. Complete the cemetery side-quest to get this bottle.
6. Complete Madam Aroma's epic notebook entry to get the final bottle.
You need the above items to barter with the Gibdos inside the well to pass through
the doors that they are guarding. When they ask for an item, give it to them and
they will let you pass. At the end of the well you will enter a room where there are
four unlit torches. Use your Fire Arrows to light them and a chest containing the
Mirror Shield will appear.
With the Mirror Shield in hand, you are now ready to tackle Ikana Castle and then
move on to the final dungeon of the game.
IKANA CASTLE
As soon as you exit the well, you will be in Ikana Castle, but you are not yet fully
prepared to complete this part of the game. You need a Powder Keg, so teleport back
to Clock Town to buy one as Goron Link, and then return to Ikana Canyon.
To get back into the Castle once you get back, run over to the castle, and go
through a small crack in the rocks. Hit the switch inside that will cause light to
appear, then use your new shield to reflect it back to the sun panel to clear a path
back into the courtyard.
With your Gibdo Mask on, go through the main entrance and shoot the two switches on
the pillars with fire arrows. Then go through the left door and turn into Deku Link.
Hit the switch in the corner, then run to the flower that is the closest to the
pillar. Dive into it and as the ceiling is collapsing, jump out to make it rise up
again. Then dive in again and hover over to the switch on top of the pillar. Turn
back into Normal Link and step on the switch. Then you can jump over to the newly
unlocked door.
In the next room use Deku Link to hover over to the switch to the left and then
depress it as Link. Use your arrows to kill the two spiders ahead of you, then use
the Lens of Truth to see a platform that you can use to jump from platform to
platform to reach the door.
Run through the next room and onto the roof. Climb up on the ledge and inch your way
until you get to the center area where you can jump down to a flower launcher. Use
that to reach the switch on the pillar, which will open up a skylight on the east
side of the building.
Put your Gibdo Mask back on and return inside through the front entrance. This time,
go through the right door and use your shield to reflect light onto the Sun panel.
Run through the door to fight another teleporting wizard (like the one in Snowhead),
and defeat him just as you did before. When he is down, put your Gibdo Mask on and
run through the next room and back onto the roof.
Go to the center area and stand on the cracked part. Put on your Goron Mask and
place the Powder Keg to make a new skylight. Drop down and use the light on the Sun
panel to gain access to the boss chambers.
At the start of the fight, use Fire Arrows to burn away both of the drapes that are
blocking the sunlight from entering the room. Then lure the two skeletons near the
light and knock each one to the ground. Once they are on the ground, reflect light
onto them to cause them to die.
The large Skeleton is a little tougher. He will jump around a lot and occasionally,
he will detach his head and that will fly around a lot. He is weak against trusts
with Link's sword so do that while keeping him Z-Targeted and then reflect light on
him when he hits the ground to kill him.
When he is defeated they will teach you The Elegy of Emptiness, which is the final
song of the game.
Exit the Castle, and you are now prepared to enter the Stone Tower (it's the big
face where you have to run up the Tongue).
STONE TOWER
Stray Fairy Locations
Located in the first room of the normal temple, shoot the switch in the eye and then
use the Hook Shot to reach the chest.
Found in the room with the first small key. Look at the ceiling for a Hook Shot
target that will lead to the chest.
In the room where you have to align the mirrors with light, it is found by shining
light into a sun panel on the wall.
Found in that same room, behind a Sun Block.
Located in the lava room after the mirror room. Drop down into the lava as Goron
Link and stomp the switch. Then quickly roll to the foot switch on the other side of
the room to make a chest appear. You get that chest as Deku Link.
In that same room, on a ledge to the left of the entrance that Deku Link hovers to.
Defeat the Eyegore after the battle with the Garo Master.
In the water room where you got small key #2. Hit the far switch with a bomb, and
then shoot the Sun Block near the entrance with a Light Arrow to get to the chest.
Found in the entrance room after you invert the temple, you have to shoot the sun
switch in this room when it is not inverted to make it appear.
Located in the inverted version of the formally underwater room.
In that same room.
In the room where you fight the teleporting wizard.
After you complete the inverted version of the temple, switch it back to normal to
find these as the hookshot targets that you made.
Special Items
4 Small Keys
1 Compass
1 Dungeon Map
1 Boss Key
1 Light Arrows
1 Giants Mask
The first part of the Stone Tower has you jumping across blocks and grappling to
Hook Shot targets. Whenever you get to a part with three switches, play the Elegy of
Emptiness with Link, Zora Link, and Goron Link to make a bridge out of three blocks.
When you reach the top, hit the Owl Statue so you never have to go through that
again, then get to work on opening the temple. Stand on the center switch and play
the Elegy, then stand on the right then left switches as Goron and Zora Link to do
the same and create a bridge to the entrance of the temple.
This temple is different than others, as you must play it normally, as well as
inverted. The first time you enter the temple, it will be normal and later on you
will be able to invert it. Throughout the dungeon you may notice some chests hanging
from the ceiling. Don't worry, you will be able to get these - just not until you
invert the temple.
In the first room, shoot the switch in the eye with an arrow, which will make a
chest appear. Use the Hook Shot to reach that chest to get the first Stray Fairy,
then jump down and use the ladder to get back to where you started. Avoid or kill
the enemies and then go through the door to your left.
The next room holds three Real Bombchus as well as multiple switches on the ground.
Eliminate the Bombchus so they will not bother you with what you are about to do,
then run to the wall with a crack in it. Plant a bomb to reveal some boxes, then
roll into the boxes to reveal two crates that you are able to pick up. Pick up one
at a time, and place them on two of the switches that are around the room. Then turn
into Goron Link and step on the large switch and play the Elegy to make it stay
down. Finally step on the last switch as Link and play the song again to make the
door nearby open.
Walk out into the new area, and place a bomb on the patch of dirt that doesn't have
any plants on it. When the skylight opens, drop down and put on the Goron Mask so
the lava won't bother you. Punch or roll into the Armos Knights and defeat four of
them to make a chest holding the first small key appear.
Run upstairs to find yourself in the same area that you dropped down from, and use
the small key on the far door. Go inside to find a room with a large pool of water
that you need to swim through as Zora Link. Leap out of the water as Zora Link to
reach a chest on the other side that contains another Small Key and then go through
the open underwater passage.
In the next room, there is one thing you should do before you surface. Sink down to
the bottom and hit the foot switch and a chest will appear that you cannot get until
you play through the temple inverted. Then get out of the water and shoot a fire
arrow at the frozen switch to make another inverted chest appear.
Once you do all of that walk over to the lighted spot and reflect a beam of light
into the mirror. Hold the beam on the mirror for a minute or two to charge it up,
then run forward into that light beam and reflect light a the Sun Block that is in
the hallway.
Go into the next room to be presented with a large pillar in front of you. Use Goron
Link to punch away the portions of it to reveal a light pillar. The way to get out
of this room is to reflect light into each of the charge mirrors until you are able
to finally reflect a beam into the Sun Block at the far end of the room.
After you get past that you will enter a room with a large pool of lava, and vents
shooting a current into the air. Turn into Deku Link and hover from vent to vent
using the currents to keep you airborne. The final one is the toughest, but as long
as you keep pressing forward as you fall, you should be able to reach it without a
problem and get to the next door.
Enter the next room to encounter the first mini-boss of the dungeon, the Garo
Master. Unlike previous Garo that you have fought, you cannot block this guy's
attacks and then counter attack. Instead dodge his attacks and then swipe at him
with your sword when he is confused. Repeat that until he is defeated to get the
Light Arrows.
Exit out the next door, and use your Hook Shot to unmask the bug and kill it to
continue onto another small battle. To defeat the Eyegore, Z-Target him and shoot
him in the eye with a light arrow, then shoot him with the Hook Shot when he is
blinded, repeat that until he is defeated and you are able to get a Fairy Chest.
Once that is done, play the Song of Soaring to get back to the dungeon entrance, and
grapple over to the empty chest and shoot the Sun Panel with a light arrow (it will
make another upside down chest appear), and then go back outside. Use the Song one
more time to warp over to the Owl Statue and then make the bridge as you did to
first enter the dungeon. Move to the left or right of the bridge and then fire a
Light Arrow at the red scarab to invert the temple.
Return inside and open the chest that you made appear by shooting the sun panel
earlier, then go through the door to the right. You'll find yourself in the inverted
version of the underwater room where you earlier stepped on a switch as Zora Link
and melted a frozen switch with an arrow. In here you can shoot another sun switch
with a light arrow to make another up-side down chest appear that you can get once
you beat the temple's boss and restore it to normal. Then you can use the vents to
propel Deku Link into a small alcove in the wall where a foot switch will reveal the
small key chest. Grab the key and use the vents to launch yourself up to the locked
door.
In the next room, you need to shoot the red scarab with a light arrow, and then use
Goron Link to roll over the fire. Then enter the door to find a puzzle. You need to
push the block while rotating the room until you can have the block drop down on top
of the switch that will unlock the door.
Once you do that, go through the door where you will have to fight another Wizrobe
(the teleporting wizards). Use the bunny hood again and chase him around to defeat
him as you have defeated all of the other versions of this enemy. With him down, use
the Hook Shot to reach the ledge with the chest and then exit via the stairs.
Continue on, and use the Deku Flower in the next area to launch yourself across the
giant gap. Then use the flower on the other side to propel yourself into the alcove
to the right of the platform. In here, you will find Armos knights patrolling the
maze so put on the Stone Mask so they will ignore you. When you find a switch, play
the Elegy to make a statue and keep it depressed, then grab the small key from the
chest and return to the big gap room and go through the door.
The next room presents you with another large gap, but this one is a little trickier
to cross. Firstly, use arrows or the Hook Shot to disable the mines guarding a small
alcove to the left. Then glide over there as Deku Link to find another flower that
you can then use to get to the far door.
Enter the door and run through the hall while avoiding the skulls. Smash the pots on
the other side to fill up your magic bar, and then arm your Light Arrows and enter
the door to fight another mini-boss.
Gomess isn't a too tough opponent if you keep him Z-Targeted and avoid his scythe.
The pattern to defeat him is to shoot him with one Light Arrow, run in and slash
him, then back away as he tries to attack you. Repeat that and you will receive the
Boss Key for defeating him.
Go back to the room where you disabled the mines, but before you go through the far
door, hang a left and go through that door. Inside you will see a foot switch
guarded by another Armos. Hit him with a Light Arrow in the special panel, and then
slash him with your sword. Step on the foot switch to make another up side down
chest appear, which you can use as a Hook Shot target.
Look up and pull yourself to it, and then prepare to fight another Eyegore. This one
is defeated the same way as before, but he uses a new laser attack that you can
block with your shield. Defeat the Eyegore to receive the Giants Mask, and then
enter the door. Hit the switch to make the final chest appear, and then use it as a
Hook Shot target to reach the boss door.
Boss: Twinmold
It did seem a little convenient that you got a brand new mask right before a boss
battle, and that is because the new mask is the key to beating Twinmold.
Put on the mask, and slash at the worms heads and tails. Be sure to keep an eye on
your magic bar (the mask will drain it), and if you get low smash some of the
buildings around you. Switch back to Normal Link to pick up the magic bottles, then
put the mask back on to continue slashing at the boss.
After both of the worms have been defeated, you will receive a heart container and
the final of the four boss remains that you need to confront Skull Kid.
Fairy Location: The Fairy Fountain for the Stone Tower is located in its own
building to the right of the dungeon. Turn in all 15 Fairies to get the Great
Fairy's Sword.
With all four boss masks in hand, you are now finally ready to return to the Clock
Tower in Clock Town and save the world, but first you should be sure that you are
ready. Before you go, you may want to have all of the masks in the game so that you
can complete the four final tasks and become Oni Link. Be sure to check out the
Masks section in this guide for the location of every mask in the game.
Once you are ready, go to Clock Town on the third day, and then wait for midnight to
hit...
FINAL BATTLE
Link has gone through a lot in this strangle land known as Termina. He has gone back
in time more than enough times to give him permanent jet lag, and now he has arrived
at the final confrontation with Skull Kid.
If you are completely ready for this battle, go to Clock Town and wait until
midnight of the Final Day. When the clock tower opens, go inside and play the Oath
of Order in front of Skull Kid. You will then view a long cut scene of the four
giants arriving to stop the moon from falling.
When the mask is revealed to be controlling Skull Kid, it then detaches itself and
causes the moon to take on a life of its own. Of course, Link is the hero so he
decides to follow the mask into the moon and defeat it once and for all.
Once you have control of Link again, you will find yourself in a large field with a
big tree in the distance. Run up to the tree to find five children playing, each one
with a different mask on. Four of the children are wearing the boss masks (Odolwa,
Ghot, Gyorg, and Twinmold), and the fifth is wearing Majora's Mask.
Get Oni Link: If you have all of the masks in the game, you can get the 24th here.
You can do that by speaking to the four children wearing the different masks and
playing through a very short dungeon for each of them, as well as giving them a
certain number of masks (don't worry - you'll get them all back). Also, the final
four heart pieces in the game are located in these final four "dungeons".
Odolwa: The Odolwa child asks for a total of two masks: one before the dungeon and
one after. His dungeon is a simple exercise with Deku Link and hovering from flower
launcher to flower launcher.
Ghot: The Ghot child asks for a total of four masks: two before the dungeon and two
after. His dungeon is for Goron Link. Line yourself up along the first path
perfectly in the center, and then roll at high speed across the gap. If you release
the control stick, Goron Link will ricochet from chest to chest all the way to the
exit.
Gyorg: The Gyorg child asks for a total of six masks: three before the dungeon and
three after. His dungeon is for Zora Link, and is the toughest of all of them. You
need to swim through a large maze with a VERY fast current. To get the heart piece
take the first left, then the second right, then left again. To get out of the maze
take the first left, then the second right, then straight.
Twinmold: The Twinmold child asks for a total of eight masks: four before the
dungeon and four after. The final child sends Link through battle after battle
against familiar enemies. If you use your Great Fairy sword, most of them will fall
pretty quickly:
Room 1: The first room only contains some bottles.
Room 2: You will fight a Lizalfos in here, one hit from the Great Fairy's Sword will
do him in.
Room 3: Nothing but a Gossip Stone.
Room 4: The battle here is a Garo Master. Defeat him the same way you did in the one
of the Stone Tower and then use the Hook Shot to reach the chest above.
Room 5: see #3.
Room 6: You'll fight another Iron Knuckle in here, and get Bombchus as the reward.
Look at the wall and release a Bombchu so that it explodes on the crack, then shoot
the switch to make a ladder appear.
Room 7: Look to the ceiling and again release a Bombchu so that it will explode on
the crack to open the door and give you access to the end of this dungeon.
Once you have played with the four children (and given up all of your masks except
for four transformation ones), speak to the child wearing Majora's Mask to receive
The Great Deity's Mask. Then agree to "play" with him to be taken to the final
battle.
FINAL BOSS: Majora's Mask
There are two different ways to defeat Majora's Mask; the easy way and the hard way.
The easy way is to put on the Great Deity's Mask, Z-Target the baddie, and just
slash away until it is dead. There is really nothing it can do against the fury that
is Oni Link.
The hard way is for those who did not bother to get all of the masks in the game.
You should have a couple recover fairies ready to go, as you will take quite a
beating. DO NOT use the Greay Fairy's Sword here, while it is temping for the power
you WILL need your shield for when the mask spins around the ground.
Majora's Mask has a couple forms. The first one is the mask itself, and it can only
be hit from the back. This form is really easy to defeat, and the only time you may
have some trouble is when the four boss masks start to hover around. You can knock
those out using arrows, and then continue to focus on the mask itself.
When the Mask spouts legs use arrows to stun it, then run in and slash it with your
sword. Keep your shield to block its attack.
The final form is a stronger version of the previous one, and this one has whip-like
tentacles. Keep it Z-Targeted, and stun it with an arrow, then run in and slash it
over and over. Repeat that tactic until it is defeated.
The Ending
The final sequence of Majora's Mask will vary depending on how many masks you
collected throughout the game. If you got all of them, you will not miss anything.
If you missed a mask, you will just see it rotating as the sequence that it unlocked
plays out behind the black screen.
Congratulations, you have beaten The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. If you got Oni
Link, and you want to have some fun, you can go back in the game and beat up any of
the bosses with that awesome sword of his!
SIDE QUESTS
Throughout the game, Link will encounter a couple different events that are
completely optional. Even so, they do reward some useful items and should be
completed if you are going for 100% in the game. This section will give you
walkthroughs for these side quests, as well as detailing some of the longer Notebook
Entries.
Spider Dungeons
In two areas of the game, Link will have the option to go through small mini-
dungeons containing Spiders. Whenever he kills one, he will receive a Skulltula
token, of which there are a total of 30 per dungeon.
TIP: Play with the volume up when going through these dungeons. The Spiders make a
specific sound and if you hear it, you know there is one in the room somewhere.
Also, if you have stereo sound you can pinpoint the location of many spiders simply
by listening to the sound.
Spider Dungeon in Southern Swamp
To get inside this dungeon, go to the area of the swamp where you learned the Song
of Soaring. There is a small island with a torch and a cave blocked by spider webs.
Use a Deku stick (or Fire Arrows if you go there later in the game) to burn down the
webs, and then go inside. You will need at least two Magic Beans in order to get all
of the Spiders in this dungeon.
Follow this list (in order) to find the spiders:
Spider Locations
In a jar to the left of the ledge in the first room.
Walking around the pool in the middle of the room.
Go through the left door in the first room, and roll into the boxes.
See #2.
High up on the wall on the first level in that room. Blow up the boulder and plant a
magic bean to make a flower appear. Use that to reach the spider.
Climb up the ladder and you’ll find him hiding behind a torch.
The final spider in that same room is on top of the stone in the center of the room.
Leap from the upper level to get it.
Go through the upper door to find yourself in the top level of the entry room. Find
this spider hiding on a far pillar to the left of the door.

Spider Dungeon in Great Bay Coast
To find this dungeon, go to the main area of Great Bay Cost and enter the left
building. Bomb a hole in the cracked wall to locate the entrance.
NOTE: You must have the Hookshot to complete this dungeon, which is found in the
nearby Pirate Fortress. Follow this list (in order) to find all of the Spiders:
Spider Locations:
In the tunnel where you first slide down, used the hookshot to get it.
See #1.
On the ceiling before the first door. Use a Fire Arrow to burn away the webs, then
the hookshot to get the spider.
On the side of the wall in the second room (the one with the masks on the walls). It
is ducking in and out of a mask. Use the hookshot.
Right near the entrance door on a beam near the ceiling.
Inside a barrel in the corner that is covered by a web. Fry the web with fire, and
then punch the barrel with Goron Link.
Inside another barrel right near that one, punch it with Goron Link again.
On the ceiling of the lower level of the same room, again use the hookshot.
In a hole behind a spider web in that same room, as always – use the hookshot.
Inside a vase on top of a stack of boxes right next to where you found #7.
Ducking out from a mask on the lower level, just like #4.
Inside a large barrel near a torch downstairs.
Go upstairs and burn away the webs from the door near the entrance to enter a room
with bookcases. In the back of the room are some drawers, pull them out to find a
Spider in a hole.
Use those drawers to get on top of the bookcases, and then you’ll find a Spider in
the rafters behind you.
Hidden behind a painting, use the hookshot.
In a hole behind another painting.
On top of a bookcase.
In a small cave behind a bookcase (use Goron Link to pull out the bookcase).

Under a box that you can roll into.
Roll into a box to reveal a small cave. It is right above the entrance.
Ikana Graveyard
This side quest takes place across all three days, with two bosses to fight on the
first, and one boss on each of the last two days. To get here, you must first have
Epona, then go to the area to the east of Clock Town.
Use Epona at a full gallop to jump over the first and second fences. Then dismount,
and run over to the left side of the area to find a small ledge that you can use to
pull yourself up. Go forward to enter the cemetery.
Day 1
During your first day in the cemetery, you will have to fight a total of two bosses.
The first is a sleeping skeleton near the north end of the cemetery. Play the Sonata
of Awakening in front of him to wake him up and initiate the battle.
To defeat him, be sure to be wearing the Bunny Hood, then lock on to him and fire
off an arrow. One direct hit will allow you to run in and slash him with your sword.
Keep repeating that pattern, and he will be defeated, which will give you access to
the Captain's Mask.
This mask will allow you to speak to skeletons, and that will give you access to the
second boss of the day. Walk into the cemetery and look for some skeletons gathered
around a tombstone. Talk to them and give them the order to dig, and they will smash
the stone and reveal a hole.
Drop into the hole, and explore until you come to a room with a barred door. Kill
all of the bats and then light the torches using Fire Arrows, and the door will open
giving you access to the first Iron Knuckle.
Both this Iron Knuckle and the one you will face on the second day are tough.
Iron Knuckle
To initiate combat with this armored foe, you can either run up to him and strike
him with your sword, or shoot an arrow. The arrow tactic is a little safer, so that
is what is recommended.
Keep him Z-Targeted and circle around him to avoid the axe that he swings. One hit
from his weapon can take off up to five hearts, so you do not want to get anywhere
near him.
After a few hits, his armor will fall off and his attacks will speed up. You'll have
to reset your Z-Target, so do that and use the same pattern to defeat him as before.
When you defeat the Iron Knuckle, Link will learn the Song of Storms.
Day 2
To get underground during the second day, you must once again order the skeletons to
smash the headstone. Once inside, you'll have a quite difference challenge than
before.
When you get underground, use your Lens of Truth to find a door. Go through the door
and continue to use the Lens to find a walkway inhabited by bats and spiders. Use
arrows to kill each enemy in one hit, and then continue to a wall where you can blow
a hole with a bomb.
Inside, you will have to face another Iron Knuckle and then you will receive another
Heart Piece.
Day 3
Your task underground on the third day is very different than the previous two. When
you reach the underground area, you will run into the Gravedigger from Ocarina of
Time.
Since it is dark in here and he cannot see very well, he needs Link and his fairy to
lead him to each patch of dirt to dig for a spirit. You need to lead him to each
patch until three spirits are released. Be very careful when a shadow appears over
Link's head or a hand will drop down.
You must walk very slowly or the gravedigger will loose track of Link.
Once all three spirits are released, you will need to fight a Big Poe. As he spins
around the room, its good to run in a large circle in the center of the large room,
and then shoot him with one arrow when he stops spinning. Repeat this until he is
dead to get another bottle.
Anju and Kafei Notebook Entry
One of the largest notebook entry quests is a long quest in itself. Here is the
information on how to complete the Anju and Kafei side-quest and receive the
Couple's Mask.
Anju - East Clock Town Inn
Day 1: 1:00pm to 2:00pm - Speak to Anju inside the inn between these times to
receive the Inn Key.
Day 1: 2:00pm to 7:00pm - Speak to Anju anytime after the Postman leaves (while
wearing the Kafei mask) to set up a meeting for 11:30pm that night in the kitchen.
Day 1: 11:30pm - Meet Anju in the kitchen, and she will give you a letter to Kafei.
Day 2: 4:00pm to 8:00pm - Give Anju the pendant from Kafei.
Kafei - Laundry Pool Day 2: 6:00am to 11:00pm - In the morning, place the letter
Anju gave you in a mail box. Then, wait for the Postman to pick it up in the
afternoon and follow him back to the post office. When he leaves again, follow him
to the Laundry Pool area and sneak into Kafei's home while the Postman distracts
him.
When Kafei goes back into the house, speak to him to get a pendant that you are
supposed to give to Anju.
Kafei - Laundry Pool, Ikana Canyon, and Clock Town Day 3: 1:00pm to 7:00pm and then
7:00pm to 12:00am - On the third day, go into Kafei's house after 1:00pm. Inside
speak to the Man from the Curiosity Shop to get the Keaton Mask and a letter to
Madam Aroma. He will tell you about a thief in Ikana Canyon, which is where Kafei
went.
Before you can get into Ikana Canyon you need:
1. Epona
2. The Hook Shot
3. The Garo Mask
Head east from Clock Town while riding Epona and jump over the two fences. When you
get to the guy high on the wall, put on the Garo Mask to make the hookshot target
appear.
The thief's hideout is the farthest right you can go in the area, and you'll find
Kafei hiding behind a rock. Hide there with him until the thief appears, then run
into his hideout when the door opens.
Inside you will alternate control between Link and Kafei. When you are Kafei, you
need to push the blocks onto Blue switches to open the door. Yellow blocks will slow
down the conveyor belt, while red ones will speed it up (so DO NOT step on any red
blocks).
As Link you will need to slash through Deku Babas in each room. Once they are
defeated, the door will open.
When both Link and Kafei are in the last room, you will be able to save the mask
that was on the Conveyor belt. Return to Clock Town and go into Anju's room on the
top floor of the inn. Wait there, and when the clock gets close to the end, Kafei
will appear and they will give you the Couple's Mask. Use the Ocarina and play the
Song of Time to return to the first day and save your game.
