With the Sages awakened, Link returns to the Temple of Time to find Princess Zelda waiting for him. She explains that he holds the Triforce of Courage and gives him the Light Arrows before being captured by Ganondorf. Link enters Ganon's Castle to save her and to face Ganondorf, first in his Gerudo form, then in his beastly Ganon form after the castle collapses. With Ganondorf defeated and sealed away, Link is sent back to his own time to relive the childhood that he missed during his seven-year slumber. After being sent back, he found he was in a time before he had ever touched the Master Sword. While Navi flew away, her job done, he went to tell the young Princess Zelda what had gone wrong to avoid it happening again.

[[File:MM-Link-Artwork.png|130px|right]]
Link apparently stayed with [[Zelda (Ocarina of Time)#Majora's Mask|Zelda]] and the Royal Family for a while after his second "first meeting" with her. During this time, he obtained the young [[Epona#Majora's Mask|Epona]] as his permanent steed. Eventually, after what Zelda felt was only "a short time", he decided to take Epona and leave Hyrule on a personal quest, implied to be a search for [[Navi]]. While saying their goodbyes, she told him she was sure they would meet again and would pray for him to have a safe journey. She also gave him the [[Ocarina of Time#Majora's Mask|Ocarina of Time]] and retaught him the [[Song of Time#Majora's Mask|Song of Time]], telling him the [[Goddess of Time]] was protecting him, and if he played the Song of Time, the Goddess would aid him. While she waved goodbye, the Song of Time lingered on his mind.
 
Subsequently, while travelling through the [[Lost Woods]], Link is accosted by a pair of fairies, who startle Epona and knock him to the ground, unconscious. With him out cold, the fairies are joined by a [[Skull Kid]] wearing a mysterious mask, who rifles through his pockets and takes the Ocarina. As the three are arguing over the instrument, Link wakes up and confronts the thieves, but the Skull Kid dodges him, leaps on Epona and starts galloping away; with Link barely managing to cling on before they are out of reach. Dragged through the woods, Link is eventually flung off as the Skull Kid and his fairies gallop into a tunnel.
 
Recovering once again, he walks into the tunnel, only to find himself falling through a huge shaft with strange lights and symbols surrounding him.
 
Landing on a [[Deku Flower]], he finds himself confronted by the Skull Kid, now hovering in the air and flanked by his fairies, [[Tatl]] and [[Tael]]. Skull Kid complains that Epona wouldn't listen to a word he said, "so [he] did [Link] a favor and got rid of it." Seeing Link's anger, the Skull Kid mocks him, and then attacks him with a strange wave of energy. After being tormented by visions of [[Mad Scrub]]s, Link comes back to full consciousness to find himself turned into a [[Deku Scrub]]. After Skull Kid laughs at [[Deku Link]], telling him he'll stay that way forever. As Skull Kid begins to float out of the room, Link attempts to chase after him, but is knocked back by Tatl. Unfortunately for the yellow fairy, this means that when the door is slammed shut, she's left behind with Link.
 
With no sense of irony, Tatl blames Link for her becoming separated from her brother, and demands "Deku boy" do something. When Link just stares at her, she grudgingly apologises and asks that he take her with him, offering to sell out the Skull Kid's location and help Link in return for his helping her to reunite with Tael. With few other options, Link shrugs and agrees.
 
Once they make it through the door, they find themselves inside a [[Clock Tower]], where the [[Happy Mask Salesman]] observes that he's met with a terrible fate. Telling him that the mask the "imp" was wearing was stolen from him, he offers to return Link to his normal self if he can retrieve the Ocarina of Time, and the mask stolen from him, within three days.
 
Link learns the Skull Kid has caused mischief across the new world he has entered called [[Termina]], and that he is trying to get the Moon to crash into Clock Town and destroy the world at the end of Day 3. Link gets the Ocarina of Time back and uses the [[Song of Time]] to transport him and Tatl back to the beginning of Day 1. The Happy Mask Salesman turns Link back to a Hylian, leaving a mask behind that will allow him to turn back to the Deku Scrub whenever he wants. Link now must awaken the 4 Giants in the 4 compass directions to prevent the Moon from falling, and must repeat the same 3 days over and over until he can awaken them. After saving the Deku Princess and removing the poison from the [[Southern Swamp]], bringing [[Snowpeak]] to spring, saving the Zora eggs and clearing the fog from [[Great Bay]], and bringing peace to souls in [[Ikana Canyon]]. Link stops the Moon from crashing into Termina, but the mask the Skull Kid was wearing, called [[Majora's Mask]] and harnessing dark evil powers, takes over the Moon itself. Link lands on the moon through the portal left from Majora's Mask dark powers, and defeats Majora in his Mask, Wrath, and Incarnate forms. Link then leaves to return to Hyrule and continue his search for Navi.
