Line 68: Line 76:


The Skull Kid turns Link into a [[Deku Scrub]] and leaves but accidentally leaves Tatl behind. [[Deku Link]] and Tatl follow them into [[Clock Tower]]. They meet the [[Happy Mask Salesman]], who tells them that if they can get Majora's Mask and the Ocarina of Time back in three days, he can turn Link back into a [[Hylian]]. Link learns the Skull Kid has caused mischief across the new world he entered (Called [[Termina]]) and that he is trying to make the [[Moon]] to fall and destroy the world at the end of the third day.

Link gets the Ocarina of Time back and uses the [[Song of Time]] to transport him and Tatl back to the dawn of the first day. The Happy Mask Salesman turns Link back to a Hylian, leaving [[Deku Mask|a mask]] behind to let him turn back to the Deku Scrub whenever he wants. Link then must awaken the four giants to prevent the Moon from falling and repeat the three days over and over until he succeeds. After saving the [[Deku Princess]] and removing the poison from the [[Southern Swamp]], bringing the [[Snowhead]] region back to spring, saving the [[Zora]] eggs and clearing the fog from [[Great Bay]], and bringing peace to souls in [[Ikana Canyon]], the giants that Link awakened stop the Moon from crashing into [[Termina]], but it is revealed that Majora's Mask had possessed Skull Kid and it then gives more power to the moon. Link goes into the moon where he defeats [[Majora's Mask]] with the help of the [[Fierce Deity's Mask]] if he chooses to get it. Link then returns to [[Hyrule]] and continues his search for [[Navi]].

''Majora's Mask'' plays very similar to ''Ocarina of Time'', since many aspects of the first game on the Nintendo 64 were brought to the second one. However, ''Majora's Mask'' has a unique cycle of 3 days, in which the player has to travel back in time at the end right before the moon crashes into Termina. As soon as the player travels back in time, they lose certain items and progress they made during the last 3 days. Because of the 3 day mechanic, ''Majora's Mask'' is more time travel heavy than ''Ocarina of Time''. In ''Ocarina of Time'', the only time travel is between the future and the past, while in ''Majora's Mask'', the player can go back to the beginning of the 3 days, slow down time, and fast forward to any point in the 3 day cycle.

''Majora's Mask'' is also strange because the main quest is rather short. This is compensated however with the abundance of side quests found in the game. Many of these side quests reward Link with various kinds of masks. If Link obtains all the masks in the game, he is rewarded with the most powerful one in the game right before the final battle. Because of the power of the final mask, the final boss can either be the easiest or one of the most difficult in the ''Zelda'' series.

There are 5 main areas in the world of Termina, where the game takes place, with subareas and dungeons in each. Termina is set up like a compass. The center is Clock Town, the Terminian town with Clock Tower in its center, that has things a normal village would have. There are shops, banks, houses, and an inn. In a ring around Clock Town is [[Termina Field]] which reflects the area it is near.

In the south is Southern Swamp. It is a marsh with boat tours, potion shops, and the Deku Palace, home of the [[Deku Scrub]] race. Also in the south, next to the swamp, is [[Milk Road]]. It has the [[Gorman Track]] (a horse racing track) and [[Romani Ranch]] which has a farm for cows, a chicken coop, and a dog racetrack. In the north is [[Snowhead]], a snowy mountain, that holds Termina's smithy. It also is home to the [[Goron]] race. There is a Goron racetrack as well. In the west is the [[Great Bay]], which holds the [[Pirates' Fortress]], home to the female [[Gerudo]]s. There is also the [[Zora Hall]], home of the [[Zora]] race, a [[Fisherman's Hut]], and the [[Marine Research Lab]]. In the east is [[Ikana Canyon]], home of the [[Ikana]] skeletons, and has the [[Ancient Castle of Ikana]].

*Another theory is that Link represents the [[Deku Butler]]'s son in his [[Deku Scrub]] form. This is supported by how [[Zora Mask]] and [[Goron Mask]] both turn you into a deceased character. It is also supported by the Deku Butler, after giving [[Link]] the [[Mask of Scents]], says that Link 'reminds him of his son'. Finally, in the ending credits, the Deku Butler is seen kneeling near the statue the player sees in the beginning, suggesting that this could be his dead or forever-immobilized son.
