Majora's Mask Characters: Difference between revisions

{{Main|Link}}

After defeating [[Ganon]]dorf at the end of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', Link was sent back seven years by Princess [[Zelda]] in order to relive the time he had lost when he was sealed in the [[Sacred Realm]]. Sent back to before he had ever touched the Master Sword, he spent some time with the younger Zelda, becoming close to her<noinclude>{{Ref|name=MMZeldaKnownYou|MM|4095|[[Zelda]]}}{{Ref|name=MMZeldaDaysSpent|MM|4096|[[Zelda]]}}</noinclude>, and when he decided to depart in search of a [[Navi|"beloved and invaluable friend"]], she would give him the [[Ocarina of Time]] and tell him to remember the [[Song of Time]], to call for help from the [[Goddess of Time]] when needed<noinclude>{{Ref|name=MMZeldaGOT|MM|4101|[[Zelda]]}}</noinclude>.

This is the form that [[Skull Kid]] forces on [[Link]] after the latter follows him to [[Termina]]. Believed to be based on the spirit of the [[Deku Butler's Son]], Link is stuck in this form for his first three-day cycle in Termina. After recovering the Ocarina of Time, he travels back in time and is taught the [[Song of Healing]] by the [[Happy Mask Salesman]]. This puts the spirit into a [[Deku Mask]] which he can remove to transform back, or wear to be Deku Link again.

In Termina, [[Link]] first encounters the Salesman in the [[Clock Tower]], where he tells [[Deku Link]] how the [[Skull Kid]] took his mask, and asks him to get it back.  He also says that if Link can get his Ocarina back, he can teach him a song that will turn him back into his normal form.  He claims to have only three days to stay in Clock Town, so he needs Link to retrieve it before then.   

Link retrieves his Ocarina during the night of the final day, but fails to get the Mask. The Mask Salesman teaches him the [[Song of Healing]], but after learning Link failed to obtain the mask, he becomes very angry, and starts shaking Link violently. He then reveals the story of the mask - telling about its true power, how the tribe of [[Ancient Ones|ancient ones]] who used it sealed it away, then how he himself became obsessed and went to "went to great lengths to get that legendary mask". With it stolen, he warns how getting it back is crucial to the survival of Termina.  

A nervous woman who constantly apologizes and is a terrible cook, Anju is the inn keeper at the [[Stock Pot Inn]]. The inn used to be a cafeteria, but after Anju's father [[Tortus]] died they started renting out rooms and it became an inn. She lives in the inn with [[Anju's Mother|her mother]] and [[Anju's Grandmother|grandmother]]. Her best friend is [[Cremia]] from [[Romani Ranch]], and her fiance is [[Kafei]], son of [[Mayor Dotour]] and [[Madame Aroma]]. They were going to get married on the day of the [[Carnival of Time]], but Kafei disappeared a month before the game begins. A major sidequest of the game involves reuniting Anju with Kafei.

Anju's grandmother - the mother of [[Tortus]], Anju's deceased father - lives in the bedroom directly underneath her granddaughter and [[Anju's Mother|her daughter-in-law]]'s room and, as shown in a diary entry, fakes her senility so that she won't have to eat any of the food Anju makes her; although also appears to mistake Link for Tortus even when Anju is not present.

"Granny" loves to read stories and will read to Link. These stories are so long that they cause Link to fall asleep in the middle of them unless he wears the [[All-Night Mask]]. Link can listen to her stories only the first and second day - in the third day, Granny won't allow it by saying that it's late and that she'll tell him a story tomorrow. As a reward for lasting throughout both of the tales, Granny gives Link two [[Pieces of Heart]], one for each story. Doing this will also complete her section in the Bombers' Notebook.

Eldest of the two Romani Ranch sisters, Cremia became the owner of [[Romani Ranch]] after her father's death. She strives to take care of the ranch and the Romani-bred cows, who make the ranch's trademark [[Chateau Romani]]. She finds this difficult to do, in part due to sabotage by the [[Gorman Brothers]] and [[Skull Kid]].

The Gorman Troupe was scheduled to perform with the [[Indigo-Go's]] at the Carnival, but when their lead singer [[Lulu]] loses her voice, the whole set was cancelled. Rather than telling the Troupe immediately, Gorman spends his time drowning his sorrows in the [[Milk Bar|Latte Milk Bar]]. Link can interrupt this by playing the [[Ballad of the Wind Fish (Majora's Mask)|Ballad of the Wind Fish]] on stage with the help of the Indigo-Go's manager [[Toto]], reminding Gorman of why he entered show business. Revived, he gives Link the [[Circus Leader's Mask]] and apologises for his rudeness.

[[File:Gorman Brothers.png|128px|right]]

If Link talks to the Gorman Brothers while wearing Gorman's [[Circus Leader's Mask]], they become get sentimental over their middle brother and beg Link to take the mask off, saying "We're the notorious Gorman Brothers! We can't get all sappy over stuff like this!"

Back again with his mohawk and his love for cuccos, Grog returns in Majora's Mask. He can be found all three days inside the Cucco Shack at Romani Ranch. Grog is a quiet type, and the only thing he really seems concerned about is his Cuccos.

When Link meets Grog, he will talk to Link about the falling moon. Overall, Grog doesn't have any regrets, for he never was very invested in anything. However, the only regret he has was never being able to see his latest batch of Cuccos grow into roosters.

Link can help Grog's Cuccos reach maturity before the moon fall by using the Bremen Mask. If Link puts the mask on and holds B, he will pull out his ocarina, and begin playing. Along with his music, the Bremen Mask will allow Link to march. In order to grow the Cuccos, Link must march past each and every little cucco chick, lining them up behind him single file. Once Link finds all 10 cucco chicks, the chicks will grow into roosters one by one. Grog will feel complete seeing his little cucco chicks grow into adults, and will reward Link the Bunny Hood for his help.

On the first or second night, Link can go to the Laundry Pool to meet Guru-Guru. Guru-Guru is a middle-aged man with brown hair and a blue shirt and a giant Organ Grinder contraption sitting in his lap. He has come to Clock Town along with the Gorman Troupe, and spends his time alone. He usually is a very cheerful man, playing his organ music and smiling. But, he is prone to fits of anger, and can become very upset over certain things. His Organ Grinder plays the Song of Storms, but Link must look elsewhere to be able to play the songs.  

When Link speaks to Guru-Guru, Guru-Guru will tell Link the story of his last musical outfit. Before the three day cycle began, Guru-Guru was in a musical troupe made up completely of animals. According to him, the reason that he could join was 'Because a human is an animal too, my boy!' In the troupe, Guru-Guru became very jealous of the leader, a dog. He felt that since humans were the smartest animal, he should be the leader. After a while, Guru-Guru stole his mask, the source of the Troupe Leader's power.

 

Guru-Guru's tale ends as a confession of his crime, the theft of the Bremen Mask from the dog leader. With his conscience clear, Guru-Guru will reward you with the mask. The gift of this mask is the only event Guru-Guru has for his entry in the Bombers' Notebook, and the event can be completed anytime.

 

The tale he tells is a reference to the Brothers Grimm Fairy Tale about the Town musicians of Bremen. The story is based on a musical troupe of animals. Guru-Guru can also be found in the rented room for the performers in the Stock Pot Inn, but he cannot tell his story at this time. Guru Guru is also a character in Ocarina of Time, and shrouded in mystery as he was before.

Once a member of the Bombers Gang when he was a child, Kafei is the son of the mayor of Clock Town and is engaged to the inkeeper at the Stock Pot Inn, Anju. Their wedding is supposed to take place during the Carnival of Time where they both shall exchange their masks; his the Sun Mask, and hers the Moon Mask. But sadly, a series of unfortunate events strikes Kafei during the month before their wedding which caused him to disappear from his beloved and made her worry about his whereabouts. The reason for his disappearance is due to the Skull Kid changing him into a child and as he was going to the Great Fairy to see if she could cure him of that curse, he had his Sun's Mask stolen from him by a "prancing man with a grinning face", Sakon. Because of his promise to Anju that he would greet her with his wedding mask, he felt that he shouldn't see her until he retrieved back his mask although he knew that she was worried about him.

As such he stayed in hiding in the room behind the Curiosity Shop, waiting for the thief to appear so that he could follow him to his hideout. Using a Keaton Mask, which was given to him as a gift by the Curiosity Shop owner as a child, as a disguise, Kafei is able to go out in public for a short time without anyone knowing it was him. Link first sees Kafei, although at the time he didn't know who he truly was, on the first day at 6 am depositing a letter in a mailbox near the Laundry Pool. Later on, this letter is delivered to Anju by the mailman who refuses to tell her where he got it from. After Link shows Anju that he too is searching for Kafei, by means of Kafei's Mask, she tells him to met her at the Inn at during the night where she gives him a letter to deliver to Kafei. After following the mailman to the Laundry Pool, he's finally able to meet Kafei in person and hears his sad tale. He gives the Pendant of Memories to Link and tells him to give it to Anju in order to let her know that he is still keeping their promise to be married on the Carnival of Time.

On the night of the second day, Kafei finally sees the thief at the Curiosity Shop trying to sell some stolen goods to the owner. He follows Sakon back to his hideout in Ikana Canyon and waits for for him to return since he can't open the door. When Sakon returns and opens the door to his hideout, Link and Kafei run in after him before the door closes. When going after his mask, Kafei accidentally presses a button that causes the security system to activate, which leads to the two having to work together in order for Kafei to recover his mask before it falls into a hole. After recovering the mask, Kafei runs back to town where Anju is waiting for him to return. With only a few minutes left until the moon falls onto them, Kafei and Anju finally reunite, exchanging their masks and officially becoming a couple. In the end credits, it's seen that Kafei has returned to his true form and is finally marrying Anju.

Late at night (12am-6am), Kamaro can be found on top one of the mushroom-shaped rock structures in Northern Termina Field. He perches on the mushroom-rock with the small circle of stones on top. Kamaro is a bleached-white figure, who can be constantly found dancing when he appears. He has sage-green hair, and a pair of purple undies, but by far his most recognizable feature is the fact that he is constantly dancing.

There is a reason Kamaro is white, he has been dead for a long time. When Link speaks to him, Kamaro will lament about his failure to spread his dance to the world. Kamaro speaks completely in verse, but after every cryptic line of his dialogue follows a translation. It was Kamaro's plan to bring his dance to the entire world, and achieve world harmony. But, with his untimely passing, he now only regrets never being able to pass on his dance.

 

 

Kamaro's entry into the Bombers' Notebook describes him as charismatic, and a lover of moonlight. Healing Kamaro's soul is the only activity required for complete his section of the notebook.

Madame Aroma is the wife of Mayor Dotour and the mother of Kafei. Married into town politics, she is the head of the committee working on the Festival of Time carnival, as well as post-mistress of Clock Town. She is too busy organizing the Festival to look for her son, who has disappeared under mysterious circumstances. The loss of her son has taken a toll on her work, and she is struggling to keep up from the stress of her missing son.

Madame Aroma first asks for Link's help due to a misunderstanding. When Link speaks to Aroma after 10 AM on the first and second day, she will mistake Link for a private investigator she hired, and ask him to find Kafei. To help with the job, she will give Link Kafei's Mask which is useful for asking others about the whereabouts of Kafei. In order to use the mask properly, Link must speak to Anju wearing the mask on the first day. She will make an appointment to discuss the location of Kafei in private.

If Link follows the Anju/Kafei quest chain properly, Kafei will write one final letter to his mother. But instead of seeking Link out, Kafei will leave the parcel with his friend, the Curiosity Shop Owner. Link can talk to the Owner of the Curiosity Shop between 12 and 6 on the Final Day to get the letter, and see to it that it gets delivered.

Link can deliver the Delivery to Mama both directly, and indirectly. Link can find Madame Aroma waiting for the apocalypse to come in the Milk Bar on the final night. If Link gives her the letter, she will thank Link for giving her the fate of her son, and give Link a bottle full of Chateau Romani. On the other hand, Link can give the delivery to the Postman on the final night, and he will deliver it to her the exact same way Link could have. When he delivers the letter, Madame Aroma, the post-mistress, will release the Postman from his duty, and he will give Link his hat before fleeing. Madame Aroma is stretched thin between her festival duties and her missing son. More so, Madame Aroma is conflicted at heart, planning the Festival which will never happen if the Moon isn't stopped.

The 'Old Lady from Bomb Shop' is an unnamed character who helps run the Bomb Shop with her son in West Clock Town in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. She is of similar height to Link and is depicted as a frail and elderly woman who shakes as she stands much like other elderly characters of the game. She is also one of the twenty characters who have an entry in the Bombers' Notebook, however she can only ever be seen outside of the Bomb Shop at 12am on the first day. She is also believed to be a firm believer of the Four Giants being the guardian deities of Termina.

 

 

 

However, if Link allows Sakon to escape then the Old Lady will be bitterly disappointed and once begin walking back to the Bomb Shop. If this occurs it goes down as a failure in the Bomber Notebook and Link will not be rewarded with the Blast Mask. The next day she'll express her disappointment in not being able to sell the Big Bomb Bag which was cruelly taken from her. She'll also announce her shock at such a seemingly innocent person turning out to be so deceitful.

Alternatively, if Link attacks Sakon with a projectile such as an arrow or the Hookshot, the Bag of Bombs explodes viciously. It will also lead to Sakon's demise as he will immediately disappear from Clock Town and will no longer be viewable dancing in Ikana Canyon for the remaining three days. The aftermath to this scenario concerning the Old Lady and the Big Bomb Bag remains the same as if he had stolen it from her.

Her body and clothes heavily resemble that of the Old Lady seen in Hyrule Market Town during Link's childhood in The Ocarina of Time.

The Postman is the hard-working mailman of Clock Town. He is the Terminian counterpart to the Running Man in Hyrule and is also one of the people who has an entry in the Bombers' Notebook. The Post Office, which is located in the top portion of West Clock Town near the exit to Termina and Southern Clock Town is his place of business and where he makes his home. Most of the time he is seen either running around Clock Town taking care of the mail or in the Post Office training.

At 9am on all three days, the Postman will come out of the Post Office and begin his schedule by picking up all the mail that has been put into the mailboxes. He starts at the mailbox located in Southern Clock Town near the Eastern Clock Town exit and then heads into Northern Clock Town and goes from there around the city clockwise collecting mail. Afterwards he returns to the Post Office at 12 pm and takes a nap for an hour. If Link talks to him, he will either make a comment about his schedule or about how many letters were in the mailboxes. After his nap, he sets out to deliver the letters he received for that day. When he returns home, he will begin training himself to count mentally to ten seconds which he says is quite difficult to do. (This always happens on the First Day, but may or may not happen on the Second Day if certain situations aren't met. On the Third Day this mini-game doesn't occur.) He will give Link the opportunity to try his hand at it. If Link decides to try, he will see a timer appear that will show how many seconds it has been, but it will soon disappear after at least 2 seconds. One way to be able to see the timer during the entire time would be to wear the Bunny Hood which will startle the Postman into allowing you to see it. If Link fails at stopping at exactly 10 seconds, the Postman will give him the option to try again but at the cost of 2 rupees. If Link succeeds he is rewarded with a Piece of Heart.

The Postman plays a big role in reuniting Kafei and Anju by being the one who delivers the messages that the two send to each other. On the First Day he is seen delivering the letter that Kafei put in the mailbox that morning. The Postman leaves to give Anju the letter at 1pm. Upon receiving the parcel she demands to know where he got it to which the Postman refuses to tell. On the Second Day, if Link mails the letter Anju gave him during the meeting he has with her at the Stock Pot Inn, the Postman goes to deliver the letter to Kafei at the Laundry Pool. These two things show that he knows where Kafei's whereabouts are and that he may have promised Kafei to not reveal his location.

The Postman is a man who is vigorously dedicated to his schedule which causes some trouble in his life due to the impending moon's fall. He wants to leave town and take shelter with the other townspeople, but finds himself unable to do so due to it not being written in his schedule. He tries to force himself to flee by writing himself a letter (this only happens if Link did not deliver the letter to Kafei for Anju) and goes to deliver it at midnight on the Second Day. Even then he finds it hard to flee unless it becomes his priority to do so. It isn't until Link receives the Priority Mail from the Curiosity Shop man that Kafei wrote for his mother that gives him his ticket out. (Although this depends on whether or not Link goes and gets the letter from the Curiousity Shop man if he is doing the Kafei/Anju quest and decides to take it to the Postman instead of delivering it himself.) On the night of the Third Day, Link finds the Postman kneeling on the ground looking noticeably distraught about what to do. When Link gives him the Priority Mail, he immediately gets up, realizing the letter's importance and goes to deliver it to Madame Aroma at the Milk Bar. Once there, he gives the letter to her and she frees him from his schedule by telling him to leave and go seek shelter. In thanks to Link for helping him he gives him the Postman's Hat and flees town, glad to be finally free. After this happens, it completes his section in the Bombers' Notebook. At the end of the game it shows him returning to Clock Town.

Youngest of the two Romani Ranch sisters, Romani is a young child who does not realize what fate is going to befall Termina soon. Named after the ranch she was born on, Romani tends to refer to herself in third person and is very courageous for her age. She is training herself with her bow in order to keep "them" , ghosts who appear every year before the Carnival of Time, away from the cows so they won't steal them. Should Link help her with this task, she will be safe from "them" and won't be found in an amnesiac state on the following days after the attack.

She wishes to be seen as an adult in her sister's eyes and if certain conditions are met, this wish will be fulfilled as her sister allows her to become an adult by giving her Chateau Romani and making her a mask on the night before the moon's fall. She doesn't fully understand her sister's reasoning behind this though due to her not knowing what will happen at sunrise.

The Rosa Sisters are twin dancers who are a part of Gorman's Troupe which is set to perform during the Carnival of Time. Judo is the name of the sister in the red dress and Marilla is the name of the one in the blue. The two sisters have an entry in the Bombers' Notebook but it only takes up one slot.

Judo and Marilla Rosa spend most of the their time working on a dance to perform. During the day they are found wandering around in the Stock Pot Inn with Judo walking upstairs, downstairs, in the upstairs hall, and lobby; Marilla walks around in Troupe's room. Both of them are contemplating about what to do about their dance. They want to add more to it without having it become too boring and they cannot change the song either due to it's composer, Guru-Guru. They are also upset at the idea that they might have to perform their dance without having seen the stage and not having a rehearsal.

At night on the First and Second Day, they can be found practicing what they have made up of their dance so far and they don't want to be bothered. On the Third Day they are nowhere to be found since Gorman and the Troupe left Stock Pot Inn after Gorman discovered that their performance was canceled.

After Link obtains the Kamaro's Mask from the spirit of Kamaro, he can use it to help the sisters in their dilemma of trying to figure out their dance. By performing in front of the sisters while wearing the mask at night on either of the first two days, it helps them figure out what moves to perform and they take Kamaro's dance as their own. In gratitude, the twins deem Link to be their master, give him a Piece of Heart, and ask for him to come to their performance. After this is done, it completes their entry in the Bombers' Notebook. If this is done before the Second Day, Link will find the two girls sitting on a bed in their inn room looking upset.

 

At the end credits, they are seen performing their dance perfectly using the moves taught to them by Link on the stage at the Milk Bar. A guard, the same one that watched them during Link's tutorial, is present and is watching the performance. They are also seen dancing to the music that the Indigo-Go's are playing during an earlier scene in the end credits.

In the easternmost end of Termina Field, right before the entrance to Ikana Canyon, a seemingly empty ring of rocks lies below the cliff with the one eyed fellow sitting upon it. Inside the ring, an invisible Clock Town guard sits on his butt and waves his spear in the air while calling out for help. Using the Lens of Truth, you can look into the ring to find Shiro, the saddest soldier in the Clock Town Guard. Shiro doesn't think very highly of himself, and he puts himself down frequently, referring to himself "as impressive as a stone".

 

Shiro explains that you are the first one to notice him, and that he has been calling for help for what has been years. He continues on to ask you for medicine to make him feel better. If you give him Red Potion or a Blue Potion, he will become visible, and get on his feet. In his gratitude he gives you the Stone Mask, which grants the power of invisibility he was so happy to get rid of. Along with the Stone Mask, he promises you that he will try to stand out, regardless of the fact that he is in the middle of nowhere.

Shiro is an entry in the Bombers' Notebook, and it refers to him as the "Inconspicuous Soldier". Acquiring the Stone Mask is the only event he has in the Notebook, and the event can be completed at any hour on any day. The sitting soldier in the back alley in Ocarina of Time shares his same model.

During the night, Toto can be found in Milk Bar, where he has decided to organize yet another musical group. Only this time the group consists of four Links, in each of their forms. In order to play, Link must speak to Toto, and depending on which transformation mask Link is wearing, he will send him to a different part of the stage, and give him a different musical part to play. On the other side of the Bar, Gorman will complain about the racket every time Link adds a part. If Link uses all his masks, and fills the stage with various transformations of himself, he will play "The Ballad of the Wind Fish", the old Indigo-Go's standby. Upon finishing the piece, Gorman will burst into tears, and speak of how that song inspired his venture into show business. In gratitude, he will reward Link the Circus Leader's Mask. Toto is good at what he does, and what he does is organize musical talent.

A prime example of Nintendo's odd and sometimes sick sense of humor, ??? resides in the toilet of the Stock Pot Inn. From 12am to 6am every night, ??? will stick his hand out of the toilet. If Link engages with him, ??? will beg for paper, and only paper.

 

In order to help this poor soul, Link can give him either any title deed, or any letter, as long as it is paper. After he receives the paper, ???'s hand will reach back down into the toilet, and flush it. For helping him, ??? will give you a piece of heart. Before he gives it to you, he explains that he got it when somebody dropped it down there.

 

Many things don't add up about ???. In a game known for its mysteries and depth, there is a never an explanation to how a man got stuck in the Stock Pot Inn toilet, why he hasn't escaped, and why he wanted paper. The mysteries and depth of Majora's Mask make the game a true masterpiece, and ??? stays true to this pattern.

 

The Bombers' Notebook has the mysterious hand marked down as ???. Not even the Bombers' Notebook has a reason to the madness, as it states that details are unknown. The heart piece is the only event in the Notebook in order to get the happiness sticker.

Darmani III was a Goron hero who loved to race in the Goron races and who tragically died trying to find and defeat the one who was causing the devasting winter that was harming his people. On his way there, he was unfortunately blown off of the narrow pathway leading to Snowhead Temple by the invisible Biggoron and fell to his death. After he died, his ghost lingered on in Goron Village because of the sadness and regret he was feeling by not being able to help his people. He encountered Kaepora Gaebora who told him that someone with powerful magic would be able to help him.

Atop the Clock Tower after midnight on the Third Day, Link plays the Oath to Order, causing the Four Giants to let out their cries and then appear to stop the moon from colliding with Termina. Once Majora's Mask discards the Skull Kid and enters the moon, the Four Giants are no longer enough to stop it but manage to hold it off until Link is victorious against Majora.

The Goron Elder is the leader of the Gorons who live in Goron Village located in the Snowhead area. He is an older Goron and has a son who can be found in the Goron Shrine in the village crying due to him missing his father greatly. After realizing that the only thing that can calm the crying Goron down is his father, Link goes to try and find him. He finally finds the Elder encased in a giant snow boulder and covered in ice. Depending on which day Link finds him he can be found either near the entrance to Goron Village on Day 1, near the ramp in the Spectacle Rock(the area in Snowhead where two hills are surrounded by water) area on Day 2, and on the Third Day next to the Owl Statue in Mountain Village. By the way his location changes this shows that he is headed to Snowhead, possibly to find out the cause of the snow covering the area and to probably try and stop it. When Link obtains some Hot Spring Water (found either in the cave where Darmani's Grave is or in the hole that has ice over it on one of the islands in the Spectacle Rock area) and uses it on the ice surrounding the Elder, he unfreezes and is shocked to find Darmani (Goron Link) in front of him. He convinces himself that Goron Link is an illusion that is being created by Snowhead's magic and proceeds to walk away from him.

When Link speaks to the goron elder's son, Link finds out that he is crying over three things: the extreme cold, his fatigue, and the fact that has father has now gone missing. In order to help the infant, and indirectly the rest of the gorons, Link must find and unfreeze the Goron Elder in the pathway between Mountain Village and Goron Village. When the Goron Elder is unfrozen, he will try to teach you the Goron Lullaby, but in the end he forgets the second part, and can only teach Link the first part. When Link (with the goron mask on) plays the first part of the Goron Lullaby in front of the elder's son, he will recognize the song immediately. He will then stand up, and help Link finish the song by teaching Link the second part of the lullaby. After Link plays it correctly, the goron elder's son becomes sleepy, and stops crying. He finally curls up and falls asleep right on the throne. In a moment of relief, all the gorons will curl up and begin to catch up on their much needed rest. He will sleep for as long as Snowhead Temple is left untouched.

After Link clears Snowhead Temple, the goron elder's son can be found next to the entrance to the Goron Racetrack. He waits outside the boulder, because this year, the Goron Elder sent his son to run the races in his stead. To destroy the boulder, Link can go to Medigoron in Goron Village to learn how to use Powder Kegs. The initiation to be able to gain a powder keg license is to bring a keg from Medigoron's house to the the Goron Racetrack's entrance. As soon as the track is open, the elder's son will walk in and begin the races. Goron Link can enter the race by talking to the son. If Link wins the race, he will give him a bottle of gold dust. The goron elder's son is key in the journey to Snowhead, and his attatchment to Darmani is a melancholy reminder of the consequences of Link walking around with the Goron Mask equipped.

At this point, Igos is an enemy which Link must defeat in order to exit the room and continue with the game. Igos can be stunned if he Link shines light on him while he is preparing an attack. After he is stunned, slash him with the sword until he comes to. Igos has to special attacks which his servants lacked. One, he can breathe ice, and freeze Link if he gets too close. Two, he has the ability to decapitate himself and have his head chase you around the room. In order to avoid this one, Link should run continuously around the room, avoiding sharp turns or stopping. A couple of good hits and Igos should be down in a handful of minutes.

Restored and replenished, Koume will thank you and fly back to her job running the Southern Swamp Boat Cruise. For helping her, Koume will give Link his first ride on the house. Also, Koume will give Link the Pictograph for free, because of the pictograph contest also working out of the Swamp Tourist Center. Her cruise leads to Deku Palace, and is the only way to navigate the poison swamp. After his first ride, Koume will make Link pay 10 rupees for each subsequent ride. After Woodfall Temple is cleared, and the waters of the swamp are cleared along with it, Koume will offer Link something more than a tour. For 10 rupees, Link can play a game in which Link can pelt Koume with arrows while on the boat cruise. In the game, Koume will follow along in front of the Swamp tour boat, and hold a target right below her. If Link can hit the target 25 times before Koume returns to the tourist center, She will give him a piece of heart. But be careful, Koume doesn't take kindly to being shot, and she will cancel the game prematurely if Link hits her too many times. But this number is pretty high, so firing the bow as many times as possible is still Link's best bet to win. From the old lady in need of help to allowing Link to shoot his bow near her, Koume is one of those 360 degree characters. For more information of Koume, read up on her twin sister, Kotake.

Lulu is the lead singer for the legendary all Zora band The Indigo-Go's. She can be found on the outside ledge of Zora Cape, near the Owl Stone. Lulu wears a blue dress, and is unable to speak to Link or anyone else... for now.

After Link is powder keg trained, he can return to Medigoron in springtime (or winter with fire arrows) to buy a powder keg off of Medigoron for 100 rupees. Even though Medigoron seems to be the authority on these large explosives, his asking price is inflated. With the ability to carry powder kegs, Link can locate the goron in Clock Town's bomb shop to buy powder kegs for 50 rupees. Medigoron may be the chief, but the price isn't right as long as he can be outdone by the more accessible and cheaper goron in the Bomb Shop.

He then went and infiltrated the Pirates Fortress, but unfortunately did not succeed in getting the eggs back. The pirates left him floating in the waters of Great Bay and near death. After Link finds him and helps bring him back to shore, he manages to summon enough strength to tell Link what happened in the form of a song. He asks Link to heal his soul to which he obliges. After seeing an image of himself with Lulu and his band, his body fades away and in it's place is the Zora mask which allows Link to turn into a Zora and use Mikau's abilities.

 

 

 

The monkey is later freed by the orders of the Princess when she is rescued and returned to the palace via Link's bottle. He forgives the King for his hastiness and is grateful to Link for helping the princess. At the end of the game during the credits, he is found standing with the Deku Royal Family and their guards in the Deku Palace.

Sharp is the Terminian counterpart of the Sharp that haunts Kakariko Village's graveyard in Hyrule. He is found in the cave that is the source of the water that used to run next to the Music Box House, but due to his curse, the river has dried up and made the Gibdo-ridding music stop playing. When Link enters the cave for the fist time, he appears and asks him what business does he have in a land like Ikana. Sharp decides that Link's reason for being here is to die and begins to play the Melody of Darkness that he composed. The song slowly drains Link of his life force as the notes are being played. Link attempts to play the Song of Healing, but he finds that it is unable to make Sharp stop playing the music.

The mother to the Stock Pot Inn Innkeeper, Anju, and daughter-in-law to Anju's Grandmother. She is middle-aged and has a rounded appearance. She is protective of her daughter and hates that her daughter's fiance, Kafei, has left without saying a word to Anju. This is evident in how she responds to Link wearing Kafei's Mask when speaking to her. She will become visibly angry and raise a fist at Link, telling him to not speak to her with "that unpleasant mask" on. She believes that the reason behind his disappearance is because he has run off with Cremia whom notably has a crush on the blue-haired man and as Anju's Mother surmises that she will need financial support for running the ranch through Kafei's mother, Madame Aroma. Another reason behind her anger towards Kafei's disappearance maybe be due to her own husband disappearance. She believed that he would return and waited for him, but found that he wasn't coming back. She believes that because of this she passed down her naivety to her daughter.

The Terminian counterpart to the Kakariko Village gravekeeper of the same name, Dampé has the same role in this game as he did in Ocarina of Time except this time around it's for the Ikana Graveyard in Termina. He has a scary appearance, but he says that although he looks that way he isn't a "bad person". He is different from his Hylian counterpart in his reaction to the undead and ghosts. His Hylian form seems to be unafraid of those things by going out for a couple of hours after sunset and plays a mini-game with people where he digs at dirt patches in the graveyard to see if there is something buried in them. His Terminian incarnation is different in that he is afraid of ghosts and the undead and does not like being out at night since that is the time when they are out and about. An example of his fear of the undead is shown if Link talks to him while he is in the graveyard with the Captain's Mask on. He will freak out at the mask's appearance and proceed to run to his house, locking the door behind him. He walks very slowly around the graveyard as it takes a day for him to complete this, but yet when he is terrified, he runs faster than Link rolls in his goron form. He also mentions that he doesn't give up and that he'll keep on asking a person something until they say yes (which is how, he says, he courted his current wife).

Link can find Dampé trudging around the graveyard during the daytime on each day during the three-day time span. He isn't found during the night time as he is inside his home. On the Second Day, he pays Link 30 rupees to get rid of some Bad Bats in the graveyard that he doesn't like. During the night of the Final Day, unlike the previous two nights, Link can find Dampé underneath a grave, searching for treasure. Link discovers this when using the Captain's Hat to order some StalChildren to open the grave that he is in. When he finds the gravekeeper, Dampé tells him that he is unable to see to find the treasure because of there not being a light source since he dropped his torch. Utilizing the light that Tatl gives off and with some help from Link, Dampé is able to get through the room that he is in that is filled with Wallmasters. The two continue to help him by telling him which sand pits to dig in that is found in the area. Some of the sand pits have blue flames hiding in them and once three of them are dug up, it reveals a Big Poe which, upon it's appearance, terrifies Dampé, causing him to run back home. Link does battle with the Big Poe and upon it's defeat, he receives a Bottle. When Link leaves the room, he finds that it is connected to Dampé's house and finds the gravekeeper hiding underneath his bed in fear of the ghost.

After Link beats Odolwa, the boss room [[warp]] will appear, and lead him to a previously-inaccessible room on the second floor. Directly behind Link, something will rustle, and in a cut scene he will turn around. If Link cuts the grass curtain off of the doorway, he will enter to find...the Deku Princess! The Deku Princess is relieved that she is saved, and asks about her monkey friend. When she finds out that her friend is about to receive capital punshiment from her own dad, she grows and furious, and asks Link to take her home right away. At first, it would seem if Link doesn't have any sort of way to transport a princess back to her palace. But, as it turns out, the Deku Princess can fit (snugly) into Link's bottle. The Deku Princess will insist that you hurry before she is crushed by the small frame of the inner bottle.

Fortunately, Link is able to crush their spirits, by getting a perfect score on each if their games three days in a row. In order to play, Link must speak to them and pay 10 rupees. On the first day, their game is Bombchu Bowling. The second day, it is Bomb Basketball, and the third is basically just archery target practice. The first and second days, the Honey and Darling will reward Link with 50 rupees. If Link ends up beating the out entirely on the last day, they will give him a piece of heart. With their game cleared, the two will begin to doubt their happiness. However, if Link wants to upset them without going through all the trouble, he can come in on the Third Day and play the archery game. Instead of aiming for the targets, Link should aim for the Honey and Darling themselves. If hit, they will yell out at him, and if hit too many times, will cancel the game. Sometimes, losing 10 rupees is worth getting out some pent up frustration, and the home of the Honey and Darling is the place to do it.

When Link has the Zora Mask on, Japas will mistake Link for Mikau, the Zora Guitarist who was the source of the mask. Under the impression that he's talking to his old bandmate and friend, Japas will ask Link to jam. In order to complete the jam session with Japas, Link must look for Japas' diary, where he has written the notes down which he is expecting to hear. When the correct notes are played, Link and Japas will go on to continue jamming. Zoras will crowd around the door to hear Link and Japas play the jam session. After the jam session is played, Japas suggests that you play it for Evan. However, he'll also tell Link that Evan is too headstrong to allow any of the other bandmates to contribute.

In order to reap the reward for the jam session, Link must go to Evan's room and play him the jam session. However, if Link has the Zora Mask on, Evan will not use the melody on account of his stubbornness. If Link plays it, Evan will decide to use the song and give you a Piece of Heart for your troubles, although all Link did was copy the notes that Japas already had written down. But Japas wouldn't have a problem with it, he's pretty chill.

In order to place a bet, Link must physically pick up the dog he is betting on, and bring him to Mamamu Yan. Then, Link can place a bet on his choice. If Link's dog comes in first place, Link gets triple his bet. Second place doubles the bet, and at third to fifth, you break even. If Link is able to earn 150 rupees from the race, Mamamu Yan will add in the bonus prize of a Piece of Heart. However, the best dog isn't always an easy find.

If Link collects all 20 of the regular masks, and gives all of them to the Lunar Children, Link will receive the Fierce Deity's Mask from the Majora Lunar Child right before the Final Battle. When Link puts on the mask, he will take the form of a tall warrior-god, whom was encased in the mask. In this form, Link wields a double helix sword which requires both hands. The sword also has the ability to shoot sword beams, granted Link has enough magic. It is never explained who was the Fierce Deity, or where the mask came from. The only information given about the mask is from the Majora Lunar Child, who seems to be undermining Link's confidence, and is not the most trustworthy of sources. The name Oni Link comes from the Japanese translation. Directly translated, Fierce Deity Link would be "Ogre Link". However, due to cultural differences, American and British audiences know the rarest form in the game as Fierce Deity Link.

She is seen at her desk during the first two days. Afterwards on the Third Day she isn't seen behind her desk or anywhere else in Termina. It is thought that the reason she left was to go take shelter from the moon. She isn't seen anywhere else after this.

Sakon is the Terminian counterpart of a suspicious-looking man who is seen running in and out of merchant stalls in the Hyrule Castle Market. His Terminian form is basically the same except this time he's a bit more devious in what he steals. Described by one character as a "prancing man with a grinning face", Sakon has caused some havoc in a few Terminians lives; most noticeably those of the Bomb Shop Owner's mother and Kafei; as well as by relation the Bomb Shop Owner and Anju. He attemps to steal (and does successfully steal if Link does not interfere) the Bomb Shop Owner's mother's bomb bags shortly after midnight on the First Day. Link can retrieve the bomb bags back by slicing at him with the sword and he can also murder him if he causes the contents of the bag to explode by means of a bomb, arrow, or the hookshot. Although if Link kills Sakon, he will be unable to obtain the Blast Mask from the Old Lady in return for stopping him from stealing them. In addition if Link either kills or stops Sakon from stealing the bags, he cannot do the Kafei and Anju sidequest.

If Sakon successfully steals the bomb bags, he will be seen selling them to the Curiosity Shop Owner on the night of the Second Day. He tries to bargain with the owner to get a high payment for the stolen bags but ends up getting only 50 rupees which is a lot less than what he asked for which leads him to think that the owner is unfair in his pricing. He steals Kafei's wedding mask, the Sun's Mask, as Kafei (in his child form) was headed to the Great Fairy in North Clock Town in order to get her to reverse the curse. This causes Kafei to go into a forced exclusion from his family and fiance until he retrieves back the mask. Kafei eventually does find where Sakon's hideout is and follows him there, but must wait until he returns since he is the only one who knows how to open the door. When Sakon returns to the hideout at 6pm on the Final Day, Link and Kafei hide behind a nearby rock and wait for him to unlock the door. Once the door is fully open, Kafei and Link go inside and Kafei goes to retrieve his mask only to activate Sakon's security system which consists of a series of switches and doors and a conveyor belt that leads to a hole. Using teamwork and speed, both Kafei and Link are able to stop the mask from falling into the hole. If they fail, Sakon will be happy and declares his security system to be "impenetrable."

The first incarnation and appearance of this infamous character, Tingle is a strange, dancing, 35-year-old man wearing green tights vaguely similar to Link's. He is obsessed with fairies, a trait that has caused him to be estranged by his father, the Swamp Tourist Center Guide, who tells him to act his age (which Tingle has no interest in doing, but nonetheless sells maps to help him). He can be found floating in the sky with a balloon in many regions of Termina, and Link can pop the balloon to bring him falling to the ground. When Link speaks to him, Tingle asks him if he's a forest fairy. When Link says yes, Tingle says he thinks he's the same as him, claiming to be the very reincarnation of a fairy. Even at the age of 35 he has yet to have a fairy come to him, he tells Link, and says that Link is lucky to have a fairy, and that they should be friends. Tingle agrees to sell Link maps cheap as a sign of their friendship, giving him the cheapest price for the maps of the area in which you speak to Tingle. Tingle's magic words (that he created himself) are "Tingle, Tingle! Kooloo-Limpah!", which seem to allow him to bring out his balloon once more.

He is the Terminian counterpart to the Hyrule Castle Town Shooting Gallery manager. His shooting gallery is located in East Clock Town near the South Clock Town exit. If Link wants to play the mini-game, he must pay a fee of 20 rupees. The rules regarding the gameplay are that he must hit the red octorocks which give him points to his score. He must not hit the blue octorocks or they will take some time from the limited amount he has.

In East Clock Town, Link can go into the treasure chest-shaped building, and inside he can hope to win glorious prizes. The manager who runs the shop is a purple-haired sweetheart, who can be found dozing off on the job. The objective of her game is to get to the treasure chest as fast as possible. At a glance, it looks pretty easy, there is nothing standing between you and the chest. However, some of the blocks in the floor will rise up, and block Link's path towards the treasure. Link must navigate around these blocks, finding which one won't rise up in order to get the treasure. The treasure will be different in each form, be it Deku, Goron, or Zora, along with what she charges Link. The only one really worth paying for is Goron Link, it is 30 rupees, and the reward is a Piece of Heart.

Zubora is the shrewd blacksmith from Mountain Village. While Zubora doesn't really do any of the physical labor, but he does to the talking and business. He is the kind of guy who offers Link coffee, and never follows up. He is the brains in his relationship with Gabora, the loud, incomprehensible, but gigantic blacksmith. Zubora can temporarily and permanently improve Link's sword. For 100 rupees, Link can give his sword to Zubora for a night, and on the next day expect to receive the Razor Sword.

 

The razor sword can double Link's attack power, but only for 100 hits. After that, the sword will return to the Kokiri sword, and his attack power will return to normal. If Link wants to make this sword upgrade permanently, he will need a bottle of Gold Dust. After Link defeats Goht, and spring returns to the Snowhead area, Link can win this gold dust as a prize for first place in the Goron races. When Link gives the gold dust along with the Razor Sword, Zubora will agree to reforge the sword again, this time free of charge (Zubora keeps some of the gold dust for himself). The next morning, Link can return for the Gilded sword, a sword well worth the trouble. Zubora is only in it for the business, but the upgrade Link can acquire from him is invaluable.
