The Skull Kid turns Link into a [[Deku Scrub]] and leaves but accidentally leaves Tatl behind. [[Deku Link]] and Tatl follow them into [[Clock Tower]]. They meet the [[Happy Mask Salesman]], who tells them that if they can get Majora's Mask and the Ocarina of Time back in three days, he can turn Link back into a [[Hylian]]. Link learns the Skull Kid has caused mischief across the new world he entered (Called [[Termina]]) and that he is trying to make the [[Moon]] to fall and destroy the world at the end of the third day.

Link gets the Ocarina of Time back and uses the [[Song of Time]] to transport him and Tatl back to the dawn of the first day. The Happy Mask Salesman turns Link back to a Hylian, leaving [[Deku Mask|a mask]] behind to let him turn back to the Deku Scrub whenever he wants. Link then must awaken the four giants to prevent the Moon from falling and repeat the three days over and over until he succeeds. After saving the [[Deku Princess]] and removing the poison from the [[Southern Swamp]], bringing the [[Snowhead]] region back to spring, saving the [[Zora]] eggs and clearing the fog from [[Great Bay]], and bringing peace to souls in [[Ikana Canyon]], the giants that Link awakened stop the Moon from crashing into [[Termina]], but it is revealed that Majora's Mask had possessed Skull Kid and it then gives more power to the moon. Link goes into the moon where he defeats [[Majora's Mask]] with the help of the [[Fierce Deity's Mask]] if he chooses to get it. Link then returns to [[Hyrule]] and continues his search for [[Navi]].

''Majora's Mask'' plays very similar to ''Ocarina of Time'', since many aspects of the first game on the Nintendo 64 were brought to the second one. However, ''Majora's Mask'' has a unique cycle of 3 days, in which the player has to travel back in time at the end right before the moon crashes into Termina. As soon as the player travels back in time, they lose certain items and progress they made during the last 3 days. Because of the 3 day mechanic, ''Majora's Mask'' is more time travel heavy than ''Ocarina of Time''. In ''Ocarina of Time'', the only time travel is between the future and the past, while in ''Majora's Mask'', the player can go back to the beginning of the 3 days, slow down time, and fast forward to any point in the 3 day cycle.

''Majora's Mask'' is also strange because the main quest is rather short. This is compensated however with the abundance of side quests found in the game. Many of these side quests reward Link with various kinds of masks. If Link obtains all the masks in the game, he is rewarded with the most powerful one in the game right before the final battle. Because of the power of the final mask, the final boss can either be the easiest or one of the most difficult in the ''Zelda'' series.
