Masks are the central game element of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. Overall you can 24 masks collect. Three of them – Deku Shell, Goron Mask and Zora Mask – completely transform Link and give him new abilities. The other masks help Side Quests, open new dialogues or provide access to special rewards. At the very end wait with that Fierce Deity’s Mask finally the most powerful mask in the game.
For our Majora’s Mask 100% walkthrough we actually need all the masks. The 20 normal masks will be distributed to the four children later in the moon. Deku Shell, Goron Mask and Zora Mask cannot be turned in. Once we have completed all the trials and given away all the normal masks, we will receive the Fierce Deity’s Mask as the 24th and final mask.
Deku Mask
The Deku Mask is the game’s first transformation mask. After Link is transformed into a Deku by the Skull Kid at the beginning of Majora’s Mask, you must retrieve the stolen Ocarina of Time and return to the mask dealer in the Clock Tower. Play the Song of Healing there. The curse is released by Link and sealed in the Deku Shell.
If you put the mask on, Link will transform into Deku Link at any time. He can jump over water, use Deku Flowers, defend himself with a spin attack, and shoot Deku Bubbles. His small height also opens up special dialogues with other Dekus. Fire, on the other hand, is particularly dangerous and Deku Link cannot swim through deep water.
Special Abilities: Use Deku Swirls, Deku Bubbles, Deku Flowers and bounce over water.
Goron Mask
You will receive the Goron Mask on the way to Snowhead. In the Mountain Village, use the Lens of Truth and follow the spirit of the fallen Goron hero Darmani III. to his grave. Play him the Song of Healing there and his unfulfilled wishes will be enclosed in the Goron Mask.
As a Goron Link, you have enormous physical strength. You can activate heavy switches, deliver powerful punches, shake the ground with a stomper, and curl up into a ball. As soon as the roll reaches enough speed and magic is present, spikes grow from Goron Link’s body and you can race over ramps and long distances. However, you should definitely avoid deep water because Gorons cannot swim.
Special Abilities: Activate Goron Slash, Goron Stomp, Goron Roll and Heavy Floor Switch.
Zora Mask
The third major transformation mask is waiting at the Great Bay. There you discover the seriously injured Zora guitarist Mikau in the sea. Swim to him, pull him to shore and listen to his last words. Then play the Song of Healing.
Mikau’s spirit finds peace and leaves behind the Zora Mask. As Zora Link, you can swim at high speeds, dive freely, run underwater and throw your fins at enemies like boomerangs. In addition, Zora Link creates an electrical shield, which, however, consumes magic.
Special Abilities: fast swimming, diving, Zora boomerang and electric shield.
Great Fairy’s Mask
You can get the Great Fairy’s Mask at the beginning of the game. After Link returns to his normal form, you must bring the Stray Fairy from Clock Town back to Great Fairy in North Clock Town. During the day the fairy is at the Laundry Pool, at night she floats in East Clock Town.
As a thank you, the Great Fairy will give you the Great Fairy’s Mask. It is one of the most useful masks for our 100% route as it attracts stray fairies in the four temples. In addition, the mask’s hair begins to shimmer as long as there is still a Stray Fairy in a room. This allows you to quickly check whether you have completely searched a room.
Blast Mask
On the first night go to North Clock Town around midnight. There the old lady from the Sakon bomb shop is attacked. Attack the thief with the sword before he can escape with the sack. As a thank you, the old lady will give you the Blast Mask.
With it, Link can trigger an explosion at any time and use the mask like a reusable bomb. Normally the explosion takes some energy. However, if you hold up your shield when igniting, you can prevent the damage.
Important: Stopping Sakon affects Kafei’s Quest. If you want to unite Anju and Kafei in the same time cycle, you are not allowed to prevent Sakon’s attack that night. Therefore, get the Blast Mask in a separate cycle.
Bremen Mask
Visit the Laundry Pool in Clock Town at night and talk to Guru-Guru, the musician from the Gorman troupe. Listen to his story in full. He then gives Link the Bremen Mask.
With the mask on, hold down the action button and Link will march to the rhythm of the music. Small animals join the march. The most important use awaits you at the Romani Ranch, because without the Bremer Mask the ten chicks in the chicken coop cannot be raised at the same time.
Bunny Hood
Go to the chicken coop at the Romani Ranch and talk to Grog. He regrets that he probably won’t live to see his chicks become full-grown chickens.
Put on the Bremen mask and march through the area. Collect all ten chicks behind Link one after the other. As soon as the last chick joins the group, all ten turn into adult chickens at the same time. Grog is overjoyed and gives you the Bunny Hood.
This mask is one of the most useful items in the entire game. Link runs significantly faster and jumps further. In addition, the seconds display remains visible in the postman’s time game, which makes winning the Piece of Heart much easier.
Kamaro’s Mask
Leave Clock Town north at night and search the northwest and northern areas of Termina Field. The ghost Kamaro dances on one of the large rocks at night. Jump up to him and talk to him.
Kamaro regrets not being able to pass on his dance to the next generation. Play the Song of Healing and his mind will find peace. What remains is Kamaro’s Mask.
Put it on the first or second night with the Rosa sisters in West Clock Town and dance in front of them. The two take over Kamaro’s choreography and then give you a Piece of Heart.
Mask of Truth
The Mask of Truth is the reward for the complete Swamp Spider House. Defeat all 30 Gold Skulltulas there and collect their symbols. The man at the entrance who has been freed from the curse then hands you the mask.
With it you can read the messages from the Gossip Stones and understand the thoughts of different animals. It is particularly helpful at the dog race at the Romani Ranch: Put the mask on and lift the dogs up one by one. Their thoughts will tell you which animals feel particularly confident of victory. This increases your chances of getting the Piece of Heart there significantly.
Mask of Scents
After defeating Odolwa in Woodfall Temple, cleaning the swamp and returning the Deku Princess to her father, an additional challenge awaits. Leave the Deku Palace and look for the entrance to the Deku Butler’s Shrine.
Follow the butler through the underground labyrinth. The route is reminiscent of the race with Dampé from Ocarina of Time and leads over narrow paths, moving platforms and burning obstacles. The Bunny Hood make running much more pleasant.
If you reach the end, the butler will give you the Mask of Scents. With it, Link recognizes special smells as purple scent clouds. In the Forests of Mysteries you can use it to track down a mushroom and bring it to Kotake. She uses this to make blue elixir.
Don Gero’s Mask
In the Mountain Village, a starving Goron sits on a high ledge. To help him, you first have to light all the torches in the Goron Shrine. This causes the large chandelier to begin rotating.
Transform into Goron Link and use the ramp to jump at full speed into the chandelier’s jugs. In one there is a rock fillet. Take the meal to the freezing Goron in the Mountain Village and throw it on his ledge. As a thank you he gives you Don Gero’s Mask.
You can use it to speak to frogs and reunite the frog choir. The members can be found at the Laundry Pool of Clock Town, in the cleaned swamp and after the gecko battles in Woodfall and Great Bay Temple. After Goht is defeated, gather everyone by the pond in the Mountain Village. For the concert there is a Piece of Heart.
Romani mask
You can get the Romani mask from the events at the Romani Ranch. First, help Romani defend the ranch against the mysterious intruders on the first night.
On the second day around 6 p.m. Cremia offers you a trip to Clock Town. On the way the car is attacked by the Gorman brothers. Defend the milk bottles with your bow until you reach the city. Cremia then gives you the Romani mask.
With it you can enter the exclusive Milchbar Latte in East Clock Town. There you can, among other things, buy Chateau Romani, which makes Link’s magic supply unlimited until the next time travel.
Circus Leader’s Mask
With the Romani mask you can enter the milk bar on the first or second evening. Speak to Toto, the manager of the The Indigo-Go’s. He wants to do a sound test for the upcoming performance.
Stand one after the other as normal Link, Deku Link, Goron Link and Zora Link at the designated positions on the stage and play the requested melody sections. Together the four voices create a complete piece of music.
The Gorman present is emotionally touched by this and gives you the Circus Leader’s Mask. If you carry it during Cremia’s milk transport, the Gorman brothers will not attack the wagon. We also need the mask later in the moon for our 100% route.
Kafei’s Mask
On the first day, visit the mayor’s residence in East Clock Town and speak to Madame Aroma in the right room. Her son Kafei disappeared right before his planned wedding to Anju.
Promise her to look for him and she will give you Kafei’s Mask. It is the starting point for the extensive Kafei and Anju quest. The conversation with Anju in the inn after she receives the letter from the postman on the first day is particularly important.
Keaton Mask
Play Kafei’s quest until the third day. Visit Kafei’s hideout at the Laundry Pool from around 1 p.m. This time the curiosity dealer is waiting there and tells you that Kafei followed Sakon towards Ikana.
Since Kafei no longer needs his disguise, the dealer will give you the Keaton Mask. You can use it to summon the yellow fox Keaton. Look for rustling tufts of grass in North Clock Town, on the Milk Road or in the Mountain Village in spring.
Keaton asks you five random questions about Termina. Answer all of them correctly and you will receive a Piece of Heart. You can find all the solutions in our Keaton’s Quiz.
Postman’s Hat
The Postman’s Hat is also part of Kafei’s quest. On the third day, get the express letter to Madame Aroma from the Curiosity Dealer and then take it to the post office between 6 and 8 p.m.
The postman sees this as his last official assignment. Follow him to the Milk Bar Latte, where he gives the letter to Madame Aroma. Then wait outside and talk to him again. He finally decides to escape from Clock Town, leaving his hat to Link.
With the postman’s hat you can search the mailboxes of Clock Town. In the first mailbox you open you will find another Piece of Heart.
Couple’s Mask
The Couple’s Mask is the main reward for fully completing Kafei’s Quest. On the third evening, help Kafei retrieve the Sun Mask from Sakon’s hideout in Ikana Canyon.
Then return to the “Zum Eintopf” inn and wait with Anju. Shortly before the end of the world, Kafei reaches the inn. Anju and Kafei combine the sun and moon masks and give Link the Couple’s Mask as a sign of their connection.
Attends the mayor’s meeting in a new time cycle. The mask ends the fight between Mutoh and Captain Viscen and earns you another Piece of Heart.
All-Night Mask
The All-Night Mask can be purchased from the Curiosity Shop on the final night. In order for it to be offered there, you have to prevent Sakon’s attack on the old lady from the bomb shop on the first night. This means that the stolen mask does not get to Sakon and later to the curiosity shop.
The mask costs 500 Rupees. You therefore first need the Giant Wallet from the Skulltulahaus am Meer.
If she puts the mask on, Link can’t fall asleep during long stories. Use it to visit Anju’s grandmother at the inn and listen to both of her stories. By answering correctly you can do it right there two Pieces of Heart receive.
Stone Mask
In the Nintendo 64 version you find the soldier Shiro on the way to Ikana. After you have jumped over the two fences with Epona, examine the stone circle with the Lens of Truth. This makes the invisible soldier visible.
Give Shiro a red or blue elixir. As soon as he regains his strength, he will give you the Stone Mask. As long as Link wears it, he is virtually unnoticeable to many ordinary people and opponents. It is particularly helpful in the Pirates’ Fortress and in some sections of Ikana.
3D Difference: In Majora’s Mask 3D, Shiro was transported to the Pirates’ Fortress. The Location described here applies to the Nintendo 64 version of our Walkthrough.
Garo’s Mask
After you win Epona back, ride to the Gorman brothers’ racetrack on the Milk Road. Challenge them to a horse race for 10 Rupees and reach the finish ahead of both brothers.
After their defeat they give you Garo’s Mask. It is needed to access Ikana Canyon. The mysterious man on the cliff will only let someone wearing this mask pass. In addition, the spirits of the Garo warriors appear at certain points in Ikana when Link is appropriately disguised.
Captain’s Hat
Head to Ikana Cemetery and walk to the large sleeping skeleton at the back. Play the Sonata of Awakening and Skull Keeta rises. Chase him through the graveyard, defeating the Stalchildren along the way before the flame walls disappear.
Once you have caught up with and defeated Skull Keeta, he will recognize Link as a worthy successor. Then pull yourself over to the Treasure Chest with the Hookshot and take the Captain’s Hat with you.
Stalchildren think Link is their commander with this mask. This allows you to give them orders in the Ikana Cemetery and have the three graves opened. We also need the helmet in the Skulltulahaus by the sea for the puzzle about the hidden Piece of Heart.
Gibdo Mask
After you have got the spring flowing again in Ikana Canyon, the Music Box House awakens. Pamela lives there with her father, who has already been partially transformed into a Gibdo by the curse of Ikana.
Wait until Pamela leaves the house and sneak into the basement. Don’t attack her father. Stand in front of him and play the Song of Healing. The curse disappears and Pamela’s father becomes human again. What remains is Gibdo Mask.
With her, the Gibdos consider Link one of their own. This will allow you to safely talk to the mummies in the Ikana Well and give them the items they request. The mask is therefore mandatory for the route to the Mirror Shield.
Giant’s Mask
The Giant’s Mask can be found in the Stone Tower Temple and you cannot miss it during regular gameplay if you want to reach the final boss. In the upside down temple you will encounter an Augor just before the boss. Defeat him and open the Treasure Chest that appears.
In the Nintendo 64 version, the mask can practically only be used when fighting Twinmold. If you put it there, Link will grow to gigantic size. The transformation continuously consumes magic, but allows direct sword attacks against the two giant worms.
In Majora’s Mask 3D, both the Location and the mechanics of the Twinmold fight have been changed. Our Walkthrough is based on the Nintendo 64 version.
Fierce Deity’s Mask
The Fierce Deity’s Mask is the 24th and final mask and the ultimate reward for a complete mask collection. Before you can get them, you must own all other 23 Masks.
Inside the moon, four children are playing under the big tree. They carry the legacies of Odolwa, Goht, Gyorg and Twinmold. Gradually give them your 20 normal masks and complete their four trials. Each test also contains one of the last four Pieces of Heart.
After all four children have disappeared, talk to the fifth child under the tree, who is wearing Majora’s mask. Since Link no longer has any normal masks, the child suggests a different game and gives you the Fierce Deity’s Mask.
If you put on the mask in a boss fight, Link will transform into a powerful adult warrior. His huge double-bladed sword deals enormous damage and can also shoot energy projectiles that consume magic when targeted. This means that even the strongest bosses can be defeated within a very short time.
