Ikana Canyon: Difference between revisions

'''Ikana Canyon''' is a location found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. It is the main and largest area within the region of [[Ikana]]. The entrance to Ikana Canyon is situated to the easternmost section of [[Termina]] and can only be accessed with [[Epona]]. The canyon itself is divided into two main sections: the lower river, which contains [[Sakon's Hideout]], and the main village. The Ikana Canyon used to house the great Kingdom of Ikana, a once thriving civilization, but over time it has greatly diminished. The canyon is now somewhat of a barren wasteland housing evil spirits and the undead.  

[[Link]] must obtain the [[Garo's Mask]] and speak to the strange figure atop of the canyon cliff. The strange figure is known as the [[Poe Collector]] and he allows Link access to the upper section of the canyon via a small tree that Link can [[Hookshot]] up to. Link soon realises that the main section of the canyon is deserted and the only beings that reside there are undead [[Gibdo]]s. The only notable inhabitants of the village are [[Pamela]] and her [[Pamela's Father|father]], who reside within the [[Music Box House]]. Link can sneak into the house and play the [[Song of Healing]] to release the Gibdo curse on Pamela's Father. This grants Link the [[Gibdo Mask]], which allows him to talk to the undead.

To the eastern section of the canyon lies the [[Spring Water Cave]], which has been the cause for the recent drought in the canyon. Link must restore the flow of water by playing the [[Song of Storms]] to the evil [[Poe]], [[Sharp]]. With the water now flowing into the canyon, it provides power to the Music Box House. Once the waterwheel starts the spin, a song begins to play from the house called "[[Farewell to Gibdos]]". This magical song causes the undead to sink into the ground, therefore freeing the canyon from evil.

Link can later travel [[Beneath the Well]], where he obtains the [[Mirror Shield]]. This powerful item allows the young hero to pass through the [[Ancient Castle of Ikana]], to the north of the canyon. Here Link encounters [[Igos du Ikana]], who teaches him the [[Elegy of Emptiness]]. This allows Link to traverse up the treacherous [[Stone Tower]].
