Ikana Canyon is a location found in 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.
Story
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 Gibdos. The only notable inhabitants of the village are Pamela and her 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.
