'''Snowhead''' is one of the four main regions from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. Snowhead is located in the north of [[Termina]], and is a snowy mountain range just waiting for spring. The [[Goron]] race inhabits this cold and frosty area, which is unusual for them, as they usually inhabit the hot [[Death Mountain]]. The most notable Goron that can be found here is [[Darmani]]. This location houses the second dungeon of ''Majora's Mask'', the [[Snowhead Temple]]. The time that Link enters Snowhead, he finds it to be experiencing a big shift in weather as it is meant to be spring, but the area is still caught in winter.

===Mountain Village===

This is the first area that [[Link (Ocarina of Time)#Majora's Mask|Link]] encounters in the region of Snowhead and it serves as the main central point leading off into the many other areas within the region. To the east is the [[Twin Islands]] which leads on to the [[Goron Village]], to the north is a cliff ascending to the [[Goron Graveyard]] while to the west is the path leading up to Snowhead Temple. The most notable location here is the [[Mountain Smithy]], which is located towards the center.

{{Main|Mountain Smithy}}
The Mountain Smithy is a small wooden cabin located in the Mountain Village of the Snowhead Region. It is owned by two blacksmiths, [[Zubora]] and [[Gabora]]. At first, they won't be able to be at service due to their hearth being frozen. However, Link can use either [[Hot Spring Water]] or his [[Fire Arrow]] to melt the ice. Once done, the pair are able to forge Link's [[Kokiri Sword]] into the [[Razor Sword]], which can be further upgraded into the [[Gilded Sword]] with the help of [[Gold Dust]].

After completing [[Woodfall Temple]], [[Link]] now travels to the north of [[Termina Field]] onto the second main region in the game, Snowhead. With his newly acquired [[Bow]], Link can shoot the icicle, thus smashing the ice barrier. This leads Link up to the [[Mountain Village]] however he can pass through this area and onto the [[Goron Village]], to the east. Upon entering the village, it is mainly abandoned due to the extreme weather conditions and Link has to travel to the northern section of the area to progress. It is here where Link once again talks to [[Kaepora Gaebora]], he leads Link to the mysterious floating island. This is where Link obtains the [[Lens of Truth]].
{{Main|Goron Graveyard}}
This area is situated within the Mountain Village at the top of a cliff that requires a hidden path to climb up. It contains the grave of the Goron hero [[Darmani]] and since surrounded by Hot Spring Water. After Link obtains the Lens of Truth, he is able to spot the specific path and navigate up the cliff. Inside the Graveyard, Link plays the [[Song of Healing]] which lays Darmani's spirit to rest. After, Link is rewarded with the [[Goron Mask]]. This gives Link new abilities and the Goron's trust.  


With his newly acquired item Link can now see hidden things and he spots a ghost of a Goron. Upon following him back to the Mountain Village, he reveals a new area called the [[Goron Graveyard]]. The ghost is in fact the spirit of Darmani, who died while traversing up Snowhead. When Link plays the [[Song of Healing]], it allows Darmani to finally rest and Link is gifted with the [[Goron Mask]], which gives him new abilities. With these new abilities Goron Link can now traverse up the mountain but can not enter the Snowhead Temple itself due to a giant Goron blocking his path. To get past the Goron, Link has to learn the [[Goron Lullaby]]. He can learn the first part from the [[Goron Elder]] and the other from his son.
===Goron Shrine===
{{Main|Goron Shrine}}
This is the area where the Gorons rest and take shelter from the harsh conditions that are happening in the region of Snowhead. Link is only able to enter when putting on the Goron Mask thus gaining trust to enter the Shrine. The area is home to the [[Goron Elder (Majora's Mask)|Goron Elder]] who has went missing. This causes his [[Goron Elder's Son|Son]] to cry uncontrollably. Once Link has learnt the Goron Lullaby, he is able to put the Elder's Son to rest, returning peace to the rest of the Gorons in the Shrine.  


With the now complete lullaby, Link successfully puts the giant Goron to sleep, thus clearing the path to Snowhead Temple.
