The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is the sixth installment of The Legend of Zelda series. It was released for the Nintendo 64 in 2000, as a direct follow-up to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. This game has a very strong emphasis on sidequests not seen to the same extent in the series again until The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, to the point of only having four major dungeons. The game has a markedly darker and more cynical tone than its predecessor. In 2015, a remake of the game was released for the Nintendo 3DS, titled The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is one of three games that requires the use of the Expansion Pak, with the other two being Donkey Kong 64 and Perfect Dark. Of the three, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is the only one to be directly developed by Nintendo, while the other two were developed by Rare. In 2009, the game was ported to the Wii Virtual Console, and was priced at 1,000 Wii Points (1,200 in Japan). In 2016, it released for the Wii U Virtual Console.

The game was planned to be released for the iQue Player but ended up being canceled.

Story

Skull Kid playing the Ocarina of Time as Link wakes up.

Link after being transformed into a Deku Scrub by Skull Kid.

The game starts with young Link atop Epona deep in the Lost Woods, as he searches for "a dear friend." Suddenly, two fairies named Tatl and Tael ambush him, causing him to be knocked off Epona and fall unconscious. Skull Kid then appears, wearing a sinister-looking mask, and finds the Ocarina of Time, which he plays with until Link wakes up, leading to a chase where Skull Kid poorly attempts to ride Epona and Link holds on to one of her legs, but eventually ends up kicked off near a large stump. Following further on foot, Link falls deep underground after going inside a large tree, before landing on a large flower. Skull Kid taunts him and tells him he got rid of Epona, but then his tone turns more sinister and he curses Link, turning him into a Deku Scrub (called "Deku Link"). He then laughs and leaves him like this, but accidentally leaves Tatl behind, forcing Link and Tatl into an uneasy alliance. After travelling underground and passing a withered tree closely resembling Deku Link, the two travel through a winding, warping tunnel and end up inside the bottom of a Clock Tower. As they leave the Clock Tower, they are met by the eccentric Happy Mask Salesman, who tells them that "a very important mask" was taken from him by the same imp that stole "a very important item" from Link, and that if Link recovers his "very important item," he will tell him how to restore his body, but he will be leaving town in three days.

Once they leave the Clock Tower, Link finds himself in a town called Clock Town in the land of Termina, where many of the inhabitants bear an uncanny resemblance to people he had met previously in Hyrule. Tatl suggests finding the nearby Great Fairy, but when they go to her, they find she has been split into Stray Fairies by Skull Kid. They also find that Skull Kid has caused trouble for many other people recently, compounded by the impending threat of an eerie-faced moon that seems to be growing closer each passing day. However, the things Link is able to do while as a Deku Scrub are highly limited, as many of the adults treat him as a small child, not even letting him leave town. After meeting a few people, such as the Bombers, Professor Shikashi, and a Business Scrub, Link is able to make it to the top of the Clock Tower where Skull Kid is, but only on midnight of the third day, when the Moon is dangerously close. Once he gets up to it, Skull Kid taunts them, while Tael tells them to find "the four" who are at the "swamp, mountain, ocean, canyon," for which Skull Kid insults and slaps him, to Tatl's shock. Skull Kid then screams, bringing the Moon down faster. Deku Link hits him with a bubble, causing him to drop the ocarina, and once Link picks it up, he remembers the Song of Time. While playing it as Deku Link, the ocarina changes into Deku Pipes, with the song itself reversing time for three days back to when they emerged from the Clock Tower, with only Link and Tatl remembering any of it. Realizing that the ocarina was the item the Mask Salesman spoke of, they return to him, and he teaches them the Song of Healing, turning the Deku curse into a removable mask, and thus restoring Link. However, once he realizes Link has not recovered the mask, he abruptly turns angry and frantic, telling them that the mask is of an evil power and will cause terrible things to happen, with an unwitting Skull Kid having stolen it while he was asleep.

Now restored, Link is able to leave town, and the game becomes vastly more open-ended regarding sidequest availability. He can find many masks by speaking to people around Termina, as it is an important tradition for their yearly carnival. Tatl urges him to go down to the Southern Swamp, like Tael said. Along the way, they find a drawing on a tree that Skull Kid, Tatl, and Tael made the day the two fairies met him, where he was crying over losing his best friends. Heading further south, they find the swamp's waters poisoned and filled with hostile Big Octos. Several monkeys direct Link to help an old hag, Koume, who takes Link via boat to the Deku Palace, where he learns the Deku King is holding a monkey prisoner on the false charge of killing his daughter, with only the Deku Butler believing him. In reality, the monkey was helping her to try and find the source of the poison. Link sneaks through the Palace Gardens and gets into the monkey's cage, where after realizing Link wants to help, he teaches him the Sonata of Awakening used to open Woodfall Temple. The Deku King overhears and is further enraged, as the song is only known to members of the royal family, and decides to start the monkey's punishment via repeatedly dipping him in a huge pot of boiling water. Link travels to Woodfall, first meeting a more cynical version of the owl Kaepora Gaebora, who teaches him the Song of Soaring to warp around. After getting to Woodfall Temple and playing the Sonata, Link travels through the dark temple full of poison and dangerous creatures, eventually finding the Fairy Bow and fighting the masked jungle warrior Odolwa. After defeating Odolwa and taking his mask, Link and Tatl are taken to a strange ethereal world where a large, mostly hidden being teaches them the Oath to Order song before transporting them back. In a nearby room, they find the Deku Princess, who they take back to the palace. Seeing what her father is doing, she angrily tackles him and demands the guards free the monkey, after which everything calms down and all is forgiven.

Link's next destination is the mountains of Snowhead, where the Goron tribe lives. When they get there, Link and Tatl discover it is in the midst of a lengthy winter, with many of the Gorons freezing due to the chilly air coming out of Snowhead Temple. Kaepora meets Link again and has him follow him across an abyss full of invisible platforms, with shed feathers acting as a guide. At a cave on the other side, Link discovers the Lens of Truth, allowing him to see both the platforms on the way back and the ghost of the Goron champion, Darmani III, who was blown off the mountain while trying to investigate the temple. He leads Link to his grave to be absolutely sure he can see him, and asks him to bring him back to life with his magic, and if that is too much to instead heal his sorrow. After using the Song of Healing, Darmani becomes the Goron Mask, which allows Link to take his form as Goron Link. When speaking with other Gorons, they will assume he is Darmani. After finding the Goron Elder and unfreezing him with Hot Springwater, he reveals he too is trying to go to the temple despite his feeble condition, but upon learning his son is crying because he misses him, he teaches him part of the Goron Lullaby to calm him down. When Goron Link plays it, the young Goron teaches him the rest, while every Goron in the room other than Link falls asleep. Making his way up to the temple and using the Lens of Truth, it is revealed that the wind is actually an apparently possessed Biggoron violently exhaling repeatedly. After playing the Goron's Lullaby, Biggoron falls asleep and falls off the mountain, allowing Link to access the temple, where he finds several ice and speed-related puzzles, the Fire Arrows, and a giant mechanical beast called Goht. After defeating Goht, Link is transported to another ethereal world and meets another Giant, who tells them they are "guardians," which Tatl interprets as meaning they are protective gods. Before they can get any further information, they are transported outside, where spring has returned. Before moving on to the next area, Link must first gain access to the Powder Keg item from Medigoron.

On another first day, Link must buy a Powder Keg and use it on the boulder blocking Milk Road, allowing access to Romani Ranch, where they find Epona under the care of Romani, who teaches them how to shoot arrows from horseback, re-teaches Link Epona's Song, and asks them to help deal with strange aliens that always show up before the carnival to steal their cows. Now having Epona, Link can travel to Great Bay, where the Zora tribe lives. Noticing a strange form in the water surrounded by seagulls, Link finds the wounded musician Mikau, lead guitarist of the popular Zora band, The Indigo-gos. He tells them through song that a Zora girl laid some eggs, which were then stolen by pirates, causing her to lose her voice, and he was wounded trying to get them back. He then asks someone to "heal his soul," prompting Link to play the Song of Healing and turn him into the Zora Mask. When he travels to Zora Hall, he sees that the Zora girl in the song referred to the lead singer of the band, Lulu, and that the water has recently fogged up from a storm at the Great Bay Temple, making it hard for the Zoras to navigate. Link must then go to the Pirate's Fortress and recover some of the eggs (as well as the Hookshot item), though he learns there are some more in Pinnacle Rock. After rescuing a seahorse from a fisherman, he is led to Pinnacle Rock where he can find the rest of the eggs being guarded by giant sea snakes. Taking all the eggs to the Lakeside Laboratory, where they hatch and form a musical staff, teaching him the New Wave Bossa Nova. Once he plays this to Lulu, her voice returns, and a nearby island is revealed to be a giant, ancient turtle. The turtle takes Link to the temple, where he must navigate many water-powered mechanisms and find the Ice Arrows, eventually leading him to fight a giant fish called Gyorg. Once it is beaten, Link is again trasported to another Giant's realm. The Giant urges them to "Help our friend," which Tatl takes to mean the remaining Giant.

The final region is the Ikana Canyon. Before they can reach the top, a hooded man tells them they cannot pass without a specific mask from two evil-hearted men near Milk Road, referring to the Gorman Brothers. After bating them in a horse race, they give him the Garo Mask. Once he obtains that, the man lets him pass, and warns him of the evil spirits lingering ahead. When he reaches the top of the canyon, he discovers many types of wandering spirits, and must deal with them in a variety of ways. Eventually, after collecting the Captain's Hat, re-learning the Song of Storms, collecting the Gibdo Mask, making it through the maze beneath the Well, and collecting the Mirror Shield, he makes it to the heart of Ikana Castle, where he does battle with the king, Igos du Ikana. After defeating him, Ikana realizes that fighting petty battles is what destroyed their civilization in the first place, and urges Link to travel to the top of Stone Tower Temple to stem the evil within. To assist him, he teaches Link the Elegy of Emptiness, which creates a statue of Link's current form in his place. Once he gets through the Stone Tower Temple, he is accosted by the Garo Master, and after defeating him, gains the Light Arrow. Link must them travel outside the temple and use the new arrow on a large red jewel, flipping the temple upside-down. Link must then navigate the flipped version of the temple, creating a vastly different experience, and eventually make it to the same room he obtained the arrows in, leading to a portal that leads to a fight against the gargantuan Twinmold, a task made easier if he obtained the Giant's Mask prior. Once that is done, they are taken to the final Giant, who tells them to call the Giants when they need them, and then sadly tells them to forgive their friend, confusing Tatl. Once that is done, a portal appears over Ikana Canyon and seemingly takes away the evil spirits, allowing them to rest peacefully.

Making their way to the top of the Clock Tower on the third night again, Link uses the Oath to Order to call the giants, and they successfully stop the Moon from falling while Skull Kid faints. Tatl scolds Skull Kid for everything he had done, but Tael tells her it was the mask's doing, to which another voice agrees, calling Skull Kid weak. The two realize now that the mask itself is speaking, as it drops Skull Kid and says he is no longer useful, before going into the Moon to possess it instead. The Moon starts being brought down even harder, straining the Giants, while Link resolves to go into the Moon himself to destroy the mask. When he gets there, he discovers a large clearing with a single tree. Around the tree are four children wearing the bosses' masks playing, while another, wearing Majora's Mask, sits lonely under the tree. If Link has collected every mask he can, he can trade them to the playing children and play a game of hide-and-seek with each, taking him to a challenge themed after one of the dungeons. Once all except the main three transformation masks are traded away, Link can obtain the Fierce Deity Mask. Regardless, talking with the child under the tree leads to a fight against Majora's Mask, who throughout the battle transforms into Majora's Incarnation and then Majora's Wrath. Once Majora's Wrath is destroyed, the Moon vanishes in a beam of rainbow light, while Link, Epona, Tatl, Tael, Skull Kid, and the four Giants appear in Termina Field. It is shown that the friends Skull Kid thought had abandoned him were the Giants, and they tell him they still always thought of him as a friend in spite of all he had done before walking off again while Skull Kid cries in shame. Skull Kid then asks Link if he wants to be his friend and indirectly reveals he is the same one who Link played Saria's Song to in the previous game. The Happy Mask Salesman then appears with Majora's Mask and reveals that the evil has now left it, before disappearing. Skull Kid and his friends travel to the carnival as the credits roll, and everyone who Link helped in his adventure is shown celebrating. At the end of it, it is shown that the gnarled, Deku-like tree from the opening is actually the Deku Butler's missing son, and Link is shown traveling further in his search for Navi, with the stump now having a drawing of Link, Skull Kid, Tatl, Tael, and the Giants on it.

Gameplay

This section is a stub. You can help Triforce Wiki by expanding it.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask reuses many of the gameplay mechanics from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, while introducing two major mechanics: masks and the three-day cycle. Masks allow Link to access different areas and quests, and some masks transform Link, allowing him to perform unique actions. The transformation masks include the Deku Mask, Goron Mask, Zora Mask, and Fierce Deity's Mask.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask operates on a three-day cycle, where Link has 72 in-game hours before the moon crashes into Termina, requiring him to play the Song of Time to reset the cycle. Several quests are time-sensitive, taking place at specific times on specific days. Each time the cycle is reset, Link loses all disposable items, such as Rupees and arrows, as well as any quest progress, as everyone except Link, Tatl, and the Happy Mask Salesman are reset to how they were at the beginning of the cycle, with no knowledge of anything Link did previously. Additionally, progress in dungeons is reset alongside the cycle.

Dungeons

Every dungeon in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask takes place in a temple. Whenever Link completes a dungeon, the surrounding area is affected, and optional sidequests become available. Progress in dungeons and the changes to its surrounding area when completed are lost whenever the three-day cycle is reset. Once a dungeon's boss is defeated, a platform lights up in the dungeon's entrance that allows Link to quickly return to the boss room.

Name	Description
Woodfall Temple	Located in the Woodfall area of the Southern Swamp, the Woodfall Temple requires the use of Deku Link. Once the boss, Odolwa, is defeated, the poison clears from the swamp, and, the first time the temple is cleared, Link meets and rescues the Deku Princess.
Snowhead Temple	Located in Snowhead, the Snowhead Temple requires the use of Goron Link. The dungeon consists of a tall main room that must be scaled by using smaller, side rooms. Once the boss, Goht, is defeated, spring comes to Mountain Village.
Great Bay Temple	Located in the Great Bay, the Great Bay Temple requires the use of Zora Link. The dungeon consists of room of flowing water, and the direction of the water flow must be changed to access certain rooms. Once the boss, Gyorg, is defeated, the murky water in the Great Bay clears up.
Stone Tower Temple	Located at the top of the Stone Tower in Ikana Canyon, the Stone Tower Temple requires the use of all of Link's transformations as well as the Elegy of Emptiness. Additionally, the dungeon can be inverted, making what was previously the ceiling of a room the floor. Once the boss, Twinmold, is defeated, the curse over Ikana Canyon is lifted.

Items

Pickups

These items fill Link's various meters and counters.

Icon	Name	Description
	Gold Skulltula Spirit	Link receives one of these after defeating a Gold Skulltula. There are 30 of them in the Swamp Spider House and the Great Bay Spider House each. Completing the former earns Link the Mask of Truth as a reward, but completing the latter earns him a wallet upgrade if it is completed on Day 1 - varying amounts of Rupees if completed on Day 2 or 3.
	Magic Jar	These small green phials restore Link's Magic Meter.
	Recovery Heart	These small red hearts restore Link's Health Meter.
	Rupee	Colorful gemstones used as money. Green ones are worth one, blue ones are worth five, red ones are worth 20, purple ones are worth 50, silver ones are worth 100, and huge ones are worth 200.

Map

Most map items appear only in dungeons. Any Dungeon Maps or Compasses collected by Link remains with him, even if he repeats the three-day cycle.

Icon	Name	Description
	Boss Key	These are one-time use items that unlock the boss room of a dungeon. Link can always obtain a Boss Key by defeating the second mini-boss of a dungeon.
	Compass	These allow Link to see where treasure chests are located in a dungeon. They also show the direction Link is facing and where he entered the room.
	Dungeon Map	These show which rooms Link has visited and which room he is currently in. When paired with a Compass, a Dungeon Map shows which rooms have treasure chests, which rooms have not yet been visited, and the dungeon boss's room.
	Small Key	One-time use items that unlock certain regular doors within dungeons. They are usually found within treasure chests.
	Stray Fairy	Shattered pieces of Great Fairies, 15 are lost in each of the temples. The Great Fairy's Mask prompts them to fly at Link, but some must be released from bubbles, pots, or enemies first.

Select Item

Many of the items from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time return in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, along with some new ones, such as the Powder Keg and Pictograph Box. The player can assign items to either , , and from the Select Item Subscreen.

Unique items

There are a few weapons and other items that Link only obtains once.

Icon	Name	Description
	Great Fairy's Sword	This sword is the game's analogue to Biggoron's Sword from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The Great Fairy's Sword is a large, purple sword with black roses etched in its blade. Because of how large the Great Fairy's Sword is, Link has to use both hands to carry it, therefore preventing him from simultaneously equipping a shield. Unlike the Kokiri Sword and its variants, the Great Fairy's Sword is a C-button item. The sword is obtained from the Fairy of Kindness in Ikana Village.
	Hero's Bow	A bow that Link can shoot arrows from to hit enemies or switches at a distance. It is the main treasure of the Woodfall Temple, and is the game's counterpart to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time's Fairy Bow, which can only be used by adult Link.
	Hookshot	A set of spring-loaded, trigger-pulled hooks attached to lengthy chains. It can attack enemies from a distance as well as latch onto certain surfaces (like wood) to pull Link across large distances. The Hookshot has a different design than in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and it has a longer chain, about the length of the Longshot from said game. It is found in the Pirate's Fortress.
	Ocarina of Time	A gift that Link received from Princess Zelda during the events of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. During his adventure in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Link must use the Ocarina of Time to manipulate time, travel across Termina, and uncover the four dungeons. It must first e recovered from Skull Kid.
	Pictograph Box	Link can use this to take pictures of scenery and people, although the Pictograph Box can only hold one photo at a time. Koume gives this as a present to Link for rescuing her from the Woods of Mystery.

Replenishable items

There are some weapons and other items that Link can carry more than one of. Whenever Link restarts the three-day cycle, he loses all of these items.

Icon	Name	Description
	Arrow	Fast, long-range ammunition for the Hero's Bow, they are a common random drop.
	Bomb	These are explosive items that are used to blow up fake walls, but they can also take out enemies, dealing two units of damage per hit to them. Link can only use them while he is in his normal form. Bombs can be obtained as random drops or from buying them from certain shops.
	Bombchu	Mouselike explosives that quickly move forward and can run up walls and ceilings. They are very rare, only found in a few shops and Treasure Chests and never as a random drop.
	Deku Nut	Deku Nuts are natural stun grenades, and Link can use them in his regular form. Deku Nuts can be obtained as random drops or from buying them from certain shops. As Deku Link, he can shoot Deku Nuts in midair after launching out of a Deku Flower.
	Deku Stick	These are long wooden branches that Link can swing by pressing the designated C button. Deku Sticks inflict twice as much damage as the Kokiri Sword, and twice moreover when aflame. They can mainly be acquired by destroying Deku Babas while they are in an upright position. Link can also use them as a torch to carry fire to objects that require kindling. The disadvantage of using a Deku Stick is that they break on impact.
	Magic Bean	These can be purchased from the Bean Seller in the Deku Palace or the Business Scrub in Southern Swamp for 10 Rupees. In his normal form, Link can plant Magic Beans in plots of soft soil. He can then pour water into the soil, causing the Magic Bean to grow rapidly. Link can then use the plant that formed to ride around the area he is in for a short time.
	Powder Keg	A powerful bomb that can only be used by Goron Link and purchased at the Bomb Shop in West Clock Town or from Medigoron in Goron Village. Because of their size, Goron Link can only carry one at a time. Powder Kegs are used to blow up very large rocks, such as the one blocking the entrance to Romani Ranch.

Magic items

These items all consume magic to use.

Icon	Name	Description
	Fire Arrow	These are flaming arrows that Link can shoot from the Hero's Bow, although at the cost of magic power. When launched at a target, a Fire Arrow bursts into flames, burning any enemies who come in contact. Fire Arrows can also be used to light torches and melt ice. Fire Arrows are the main treasure in Snowhead Temple.
	Ice Arrow	These are icy arrows that Link can shoot from the Hero's Bow, although at the cost of magic power. Ice Arrows are used to freeze enemies into ice blocks or freeze water. They play a larger role than in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and are the main dungeon item of the Great Bay Temple.
	Lens of Truth	A special eyepiece found in Goron Village's Lone Peak Shrine. Whenever the item is active, Link can see invisible enemies, hidden walls and fake walls. The Lens of Truth is required to see Darmani's ghost to obtain the Goron Mask.
	Light Arrow	These are arrows with the power of light that Link can shoot from the Hero's Bow, although at the cost of magic power (more than what the Fire and Ice Arrows require). Light Arrows are the main item in the Stone Tower Temple. Their main use is to turn the temple upside down, but are also used to defeat the mini-boss Gomess.

Bottles

Bottles are used to contain certain items, such as potions. There are six Empty Bottles for Link to collect. Resetting the three-day cycle allows Link to keep his Empty Bottles, including if any were stolen, but he does not retain their contents.

Icon	Name	Description
	Empty Bottle	Obtained from Kotake in the Southern Swamp or Woods of Mystery. It comes filled with Red Potion to deliver to Koume.
	Empty Bottle	Obtained from winning the Goron Race. It comes filled with Gold Dust.
	Empty Bottle	Given from Romani after protecting Romani Ranch from the invading "ghosts." It comes filled with Milk.
	Empty Bottle	Obtained from beating both of the Beaver Bros. down the Waterfall Rapids.
	Empty Bottle	Found by defeating the Big Poe found Beneath the Graveyard on the final day.
	Empty Bottle	Obtained from Madame Aroma as a reward for giving her the Special Delivery to Mama. It comes filled with Chateau Romani.

Bottled items

There are some items that Link cannot obtain unless he has a bottle to store it in.

Icon	Name	Description

Icon	Name	Description
	Postman's Hat	This is given to Link by the Postman when he gives him the Special Delivery to Mama. Link can use it to look into postboxes, and gets a Piece of Heart upon doing it the first time. Any subsequent instances of doing this rewards Link with a single Rupee instead.
	All-Night Mask	This mask can be bought at the Curiosity Shop for 500 Rupees, but only on the night of the Final Day if Sakon's robbery of the old lady from the Bomb Shop was stopped that cycle. Link can use the All-Night Mask to stay awake when hearing either of Anju's grandmother's long stories in the Stock Pot Inn. In doing so, Link can earn a Piece of Heart for both.
	Blast Mask	To obtain this mask, Link must recover the Bomb Shop lady's bag from Sakon, who steals it at North Clock Town around midnight on the First Day. The Blast Mask is used as an alternative for bombs, although its use always results in Link taking damage.
	Stone Mask	This mask allows Link to appear invisible to most enemies. Link can obtain the mask by giving a Red Potion to Shiro the invisible injured soldier near the entrance to Ikana Canyon. The Stone Mask is especially useful when avoiding Gerudo guards in Pirate's Fortress.

The Great Fairy's Mask attracts Stray Fairies in the four temples like a magnet. Whenever there is a Stray Fairy somewhere in the room, the mask's hair glitters.

	Romani's Mask	This mask is given to Link by helping out Romani and Cremia each in one three-day cycle. Link must first prevent the "ghosts" from abducting Romani during the night of the First Day by shooting them down. He must then protect Cremia from the Gorman Brothers as she goes out to deliver milk on the Second Day. If Link manages to successfully protect Cremia, she gives him Romani's Mask, which allows him to enter the Milk Bar.
	Circus Leader's Mask	Link receives this mask upon completing a soundcheck for Toto in the Milk Bar. Link must use all four of his transformations to accomplish this. In doing so, he obtains the Circus Leader's Mask. The mask resembles Gorman, the crying circus leader who joined the entertainment business to hear the song by the Indigo-Go's.

	Garo's Mask	The Gorman Brothers give this mask to Link if he beats them in a horse race with Epona around Gorman Track. It summons the spirits of Garo Robes in certain parts of Ikana Canyon, and also distracts ReDeads. Link needs the Garo's Mask in order to enter Ikana Canyon.
	Captain's Hat	A mask designed in the likeness of Captain Keeta. It is in a treasure chest that Link can open by defeating Skull Keeta in the Ikana Graveyard. It is used to speak with and give orders to Stalchildren and distract ReDeads. It is required to go Beneath the Graveyard, which is mandatory to complete the game.

Transformation masks

There are five masks that allow Link to transform into a different being.

Icon	Name	Description
	Deku Mask	A mask that turns Link into a Deku Scrub. It is created in an early part of his journey, when he learns the Song of Healing and plays it to turn back into his normal form. As a Deku Scrub, Link can shoot bubbles, use Deku Flowers to glide a short distance, and perform a few hops on the water. Deku Link is light enough to stand on lily pads in the swamp but is not heavy enough to press switches. He cannot swim, and is extremely vulnerable to fire.
	Goron Mask	A mask that turns Link into a Goron. It is created when Link plays the Song of Healing to heal Darmani. As a Goron, Link can curl up and roll around on the ground, allowing him to move very fast if he does not bump into anything or run out of magic. Goron Link walks slowly, but this is compensated by his strength. Goron Link can also walk on the lava without taking damage, but his girth in this form does not allow him to swim, causing him to sink.
	Zora Mask	A mask that turns Link into a Zora. It is created when Link plays the Song of Healing to Mikau, a Zora guitarist. Zora Link is skilled at swimming, and can quickly swim through the water. He can toss his blade-like fins like a boomerang, and can generate a force field while swimming. Zora Link is vulnerable to fire and ice attacks.
	Giant's Mask	Link finds this mask within the Stone Tower Temple after defeating an Eyegore. The Giant's Mask is only used during the battle against Twinmold, and while Link wears it, his magic supply is consumed at a steady rate.
	Fierce Deity's Mask	It can only be acquired once all 23 masks have been obtained, then giving the twenty non-transformation masks to all the children within the Moon, and then talking to the kid wearing Majora's Mask. Putting on the Fierce Deity Mask causes Link to transform into a very powerful warrior named Fierce Deity Link, who even appears older in age. In his Fierce Deity form, Link wields the massive Fierce Deity Sword, which is four times as powerful than the Kokiri Sword, and lessens the difficulty of the final battle against Majora's Mask and its forms.

	Map	In this game, rather than having maps of outdoor locations automatically, Link must purchase them from Tingle. There are six maps - one for each region of Termina - and purchasing a map within its own region gives it a discounted price.
	Piece of Heart	These are found all around Termina, and there are 52 Pieces of Hearts in total. If Link collects four Pieces of Hearts, another Heart Container is added to his health gauge. Whenever Link collects a Piece of Heart, his health is refilled.
