Ancient Castle of Ikana

The Ancient Castle of Ikana, also known as the Ikana Castle, is a mini-dungeon and sub-area featured in Majora's Mask. The castle is found within the final region of the game, Ikana, where it is situated in the eastern region of Ikana Canyon. The ancient castle was once home to the great Kingdom of Ikana, however the Kingdom slowly diminished through time and the castle has been run over with enemies of the dead. Despite the grounds becoming largely abandoned, the castle itself is still in reasonable condition.

Overview

The dungeon itself heavily fortified and contains two main sections; the outside area circling the castle and the inner grounds. The undead as well as other devilish enemies roam the grounds, which was once graced by the people of Ikana Kingdom. The castle has quite a dark theme, which can compare to the likes of the Forest Temple and the Shadow Temple from Ocarina of Time. However the dungeon also shows signs of lighter theme with the many sun themed puzzles that bear resemblance to the Spirit Temple.

Link ventures to these cursed grounds once he has obtained the Mirror Shield from Beneath the Well. The young hero can then enter a small cave and utilise his newly found shield to reflect the sun light and uncover the secret entrance. Link must primarily use the Mirror Shield here to solve numerous puzzles and thus ascend to the top of the tower. Later on in the dungeon, Link encounters a mini-boss, which is in fact a Wizzrobe, similar to the ones Link had previously fought. The young hero can then proceed to the outer section of castle, where he can traverse to the rooftop. Link must place a Powder Keg on the broken section of the rooftop to reveal a passage way into the throne room. After delving down to the thrown room, Link encounters the long dead king of the Ikana tribe, Igos du Ikana. After defeating the once great king and his two subordinates, he teaches Link the Elegy of Emptiness. This song allows Link to create a lifeless shell of his physical self and aids him in traversing Stone Tower.
