The '''Pirates' Fortress''' is a mini-[[dungeon]] within ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. It is located within the [[Great Bay]] region of [[Termina]]. It is home to the [[Gerudo Pirate]]s, who [[Link (Ocarina of Time)#Majora's Mask|Link]] must fight in order to retrieve the four stolen [[Zora Egg]]s, which can later be used to teach Link the [[New Wave Bossa Nova]]. The Fortress is heavily fortified and the Pirates' are on high alert, constantly patrolling the area.{{Ref|MM|2430|[[Zora]]}}

The exterior of the Pirates' Fortress is known as enclosed by a large iron gate separating the Fortress from the [[Pirates' Cove]]. Link must go to the cavern which is located to the side of the Cove. It is here where Link unveils a hidden passageway.{{Ref|MM|2927|Zora}}{{Ref|MM|2431|Zora}}  Circling the lake, Gerudo Pirates patrol the area on motor boats here. If any of the pirates spot Link, he is thrown out of the lake area and has to attempt to enter once again. Alternatively, the [[Stone Mask]] can be used to escape the pirates' vision as Link is completely invisible to them while wearing it.  

The interior of the Pirates' Fortress is where the [[Hookshot]] and where the stolen Zora Eggs are located. Link must make it through a variety of water-related puzzles by using the [[Zora Mask]] and still avoid the Gerudo Pirates to retrieve these items. The Stone Mask may be used to avoid the pirates, but the Gerudo Guard [[Mini-Boss|mini-bosses]] can see through the mask and attacks Link.{{Ref|MM|2611\2612|Gerudo Pirate}} Link must defeat them in order to obtain the eggs.

In order to obtain the [[Seahorse]] from the [[Fisherman (Majora's Mask)|Fisherman]] , Link must first snap a picture of the Gerudo Pirate in the Pirates' Fortress with the aid of the Stone Mask. Once Link has taken a picture of the Gerudo Pirate, Link can return to the Fisherman and show him the picture. In exchange, Link is rewarded with the Seahorse. Once the Seahorse is reunited with its lover, Link is gifted with a [[Piece of Heart]].
