{{Infobox|location

}}

The '''Clock Tower''' is a featured location in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. It is built in the very center of [[Clock Town]]. This place is [[Link|Link's]] first impression of [[Termina]]. At night, there is a beam of light that is shot out of the Clock Tower, making it not only a clock for the whole town, but also a form of a lighthouse. The Clock Tower is also the spot from where the [[Four Giants]] parted to the four regions of Termina.

During the beginning of the game, Link meets the [[Happy Mask Salesman]] inside the tower, who agrees to turn him from back from a [[Deku Scrub]] to a [[Hylian]], but only if he retrieves [[Majora's Mask]].{{Ref|MM|3941\3942|Happy Mask Salesman}}{{Ref|MM|3946\3947\3948\3949|Happy Mask Salesman}} The Happy Mask Salesman claims to Link that he is very busy and therefore must leave within three days, conveniently this also the time when the Moon is due to fall.{{Ref|MM|3953\3954\3955|Happy Mask Salesman}} Link must stop the moon from falling, all within 72 hours. If Link fails to save Termina within the 72 hour period the moon finally crashes down on the land, destroying everything below it.  

The Clock Tower serves as somewhat of a 'starting point' in the game. When Link plays the Song of Time and returns to the dawn of the First Day, he exits from the bottom of the tower. The Clock Tower is also where the Happy Mask Salesman awaits for Link's return with his precious item, the Majora's Mask.

{{Main|Carnival of Time}}  

The Clock Tower is where the Carnival of Time is held on an annual basis in Termina. This Carnival is said to pay homage to the [[Four Giants]] who once protected the land; in celebration it has become a custom to wear masks on the day of the carnival.{{Ref|MM|4933\4934|Anju's Grandmother}} On the eve of the fourth day, the countdown starts ticking down to midnight, which is when the Carnival begins. When the clock strikes midnight the upper entrance opens and fireworks burst out from within the Tower.
