Kafei and his fiancée Anju actually wanted to get married on the day of the carnival of the time. But shortly before the wedding, Kafei disappeared and even his mother doesn’t know where he is. There is much more to his disappearance than a simple escape: Kafei was turned into a child by the Skull Kid and his valuable sun mask was also stolen from him.
The Side Quest Wedding with Obstacles, usually simply called Kafei’s Quest or Anju and Kafei Quest, is one of the most extensive tasks in Majora’s Mask. It extends over all three days and takes you through Clock Town to the Ikana Canyon. For a complete 100% route we even have to complete the quest twice, because on the last day you have to choose between two different rewards.
During the quest we get, among other things, Kafei’s Mask, the Keaton Mask, the Postman’s Hat and finally the Couple’s Mask. In addition, another bottle, Chateau Romani and two Pieces of Heart, which are directly linked to the people involved, are waiting.
Important: Don’t interfere with Sakon on the first night when he attacks the old lady in North Clock Town around midnight. If you stop the thief there, Kafei will not be able to follow him to his hiding place later and the quest cannot be completely completed in this time cycle.
1st day – Kafei’s Mask
On the first day between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m., go to the mayor’s residence in East Clock Town. Enter the room on the right and talk to Madame Aroma. She is Kafei’s mother and is very worried about her missing son. Promise to look for him and she will give you Kafei’s Mask.
The mask serves as an identification mark during the quest. If you show it to various residents of Clock Town, they will tell you what they know about Kafei’s disappearance. For us, Anju in the “Zum Eintopf” inn is particularly important.
1st day – room key in the inn
Go to the Inn “Zum Stew” in East Clock Town in the early afternoon. Between approximately 1:50 p.m. and 4 p.m. Anju stands behind the reception. Speak to her without Kafei’s mask and claim to have a reservation under the name Link. In fact, Anju is expecting a Goron with the same name and mistakes you for him.
You will receive the room key for the knife room on the first floor. This step is not absolutely necessary for the actual Kafei quest, but it makes the rest of the process much easier, as you can now enter the inn through the main entrance at night. There is also a chest in the room containing a silver Rupee worth 100 Rupees.
If you return to reception around 4 p.m., you can watch as the real Gorone Link arrives and finds that his reserved room has already been taken. This small section is one of the additional events in the Bombers’ Notebook.
Day 1 – Ask Anju about Kafei
In the afternoon the postman brings a letter from Kafei to the inn. Wait until the mail has been delivered and then talk to Anju with Kafei’s Mask on. This works approximately between 2:10 p.m. and 8 p.m..
Anju immediately recognizes why you are talking to her. However, she doesn’t want to talk about her fiancé in front of the other guests, so she asks you for a secret meeting in the inn’s kitchen. Arrange a date for the night.
If you haven’t picked up the room key, you can still enter the inn after the official closing time. Use the Deku Flower outside and fly onto the canopy or balcony on the first floor. From there you can enter the building through the door.
1st Night – Letter to Kafei
Wait until about midnight and go to the kitchen on the ground floor. Anju appears there and tells you about her relationship with Kafei. Despite his disappearance, she believes he still wants to return to her.
She entrusts Link with a Letter to Kafei. Drop it into any Clock Town mailbox that same night. The postman will collect and deliver it the following day during his rounds.
Don’t give this letter to the mysterious hand in the inn toilet. This would mean he would be lost and you would not be able to continue the quest in this time cycle.
2nd day – Kafei’s hiding place at the Laundry Pool
Go against on the second day 3 p.m to the Laundry Pool. The postman appears and rings the doorbell next to the curiosity shop. Soon after, a little boy wearing a Keaton Mask comes out and takes Anju’s letter.
While he is getting the mail, the door to his hiding place opens. Run in and wait for him there. The boy returns shortly afterwards and takes off his mask. It is actually Kafei.
Kafei explains to you what happened: the Skull Kid turned him into a child. Additionally, his sun mask, which he planned to wear at his wedding to Anju, was stolen by the thief Sakon. Ashamed of his childlike form, he doesn’t want to face Anju again until he gets the mask back.
As a sign that he hasn’t forgotten Anju, he gives you the Pendant of Memories. Bring him to Anju at the inn on the second day. As soon as you give her the pendant, she decides to wait for Kafei despite the impending end of the world.
Day 3 – Curio Dealer and Keaton Mask
Return to Kafei’s lair at the Laundry Pool on the third day from approximately 1 p.m.. Kafei himself has disappeared. Instead, the curiosity dealer is waiting there. He reports that Sakon showed up at the store in the morning and Kafei then followed him towards Ikana.
The merchant gives you two important items. First you get this Keaton Mask, which Kafei no longer needs. He also gives you one Express letter to mom, which is intended for Kafei’s mother, Madame Aroma.
This letter is where the crucial branch of the quest comes from. You can either bring it to Madame Aroma in person or hand it to the postman. Both variants provide different lasting rewards and cannot be completed in full in the same time cycle. We therefore need two passes for our 100% route.
Option 1 – deliver express letter personally to Madame Aroma
For the first complete passage, we keep the express letter and first take care of Sakon’s hiding place together with Kafei. Afterwards we go to the milk bar.
Madame Aroma is in the Milk Bar Latte on the evening of the third day. For this you need the Romani mask so that Link can be admitted at all. Speak to Madame Aroma with the Kafei’s Mask on and hand her her son’s express letter.
She is relieved to have finally received a message from Kafei and gives you a bottle of Chateau Romani. However, what is crucial for our 100% route is not the content, but the bottle itself: It is one of the six bottles in Majora’s Mask.
Option 2 – give the express letter to the postman
We will complete this variant in a second round of the quest. On the evening of the third day, go to the post office in West Clock Town and hand the Express Letter to Mom to the desperate postman.
Although the moon hangs directly over the city, the postman still feels tied to his duty schedule. The express letter gives him one last order. Follow him to the Milk Bar Latte, where he personally delivers the letter to Madame Aroma.
Then wait in front of the milk bar. As soon as the postman leaves the building, talk to him. He finally decides to leave Clock Town and gives you the Postman’s Hat as a farewell gift.
Then put on the hat and examine one of the red mailboxes from Clock Town. Link is now allowed to officially open it and finds another Piece of Heart inside. Further mailboxes then only contain Rupees.
Day 3 – Sakon’s Hideout in Ikana Canyon
For the actual reunion of Anju and Kafei you have to go to the Ikana Canyon on the third day. The quest until the lucky charm is handed over to Anju must be completely completed. You also need to have spoken to the curiosity dealer on the third day.
Head to the lower area of Ikana Canyon towards Sakon’s Hideout. Kafei is already waiting behind the rocks at the end of the valley. Speak to him and then remain hidden. The Stone Mask is particularly practical, as Sakon cannot see Link with it.
Around 7 p.m. Sakon appears and opens the entrance to his hiding place. Do not attack him under any circumstances and, if possible, do not allow yourself to be discovered. Once Sakon disappears inside, Kafei runs after him. Follow him through the opened door.
Sakon’s Hideout – Save Sun Mask
Inside, Kafei finally discovers his stolen sun mask. But when he tries to take her, he activates Sakon’s security system. The mask lies on a conveyor belt and slowly moves towards a shaft. If she reaches the end of the tape, the task has failed.
From now on you will alternately control Link and Kafei. If a figure enters a Floor Switch, the next door opens for the other figure. Therefore, work quickly, but without hectic incorrect movements.
Starts with Link and steps on the first Floor Switch. This will open Kafei’s door. Switch to him and push the stone onto the blue switch. Blue switches do not accelerate the conveyor belt and are therefore always the preferred choice.
Now it’s Link’s turn again. Run through the opened door and defeat the Deku Baba. This opens the next door for Kafei. Run with him to the next blue switch.
Link then has to defeat two more Deku Babas. This is followed by the most difficult stone puzzle with Kafei. There are several blocks and different colored Floor Switch in the room. Red switches speed up the conveyor belt significantly, yellow switches make it run slower and blue switches stop or slow down the dangerous process the most. Therefore try to reach the blue switch as directly as possible.
First push the offending block next to the yellow or red switch out of the way. Then move the upper block sideways and then move the stone directly in front of the blue switch onto the switch plate. Be careful not to block your way to the door with a block. If this happens, pull or move the blocks back and correct the position.
Now Link takes control again. A Wolfo is waiting in the next room. Have your shield ready and wait for him to attack. Dodge or block and then immediately hit his unprotected back. With the Gilded Sword or the Great Fairy’s Sword the fight is over very quickly.
Kafei can now walk through the last door and activate his Floor Switch. Then switch to Link, run into the last room and step on the switch opposite. The conveyor belt stops right in front of the shaft and Kafei can finally take the sun mask.
Kafei immediately heads back to Clock Town. We only have a few hours left before the moon hits.
Final Night: Reunite Anju and Kafei
Return to the Inn “Zum Stew” and go to the first floor. Anju is waiting for her fiancé in the staff room on the far right. She made a conscious decision not to flee Clock Town.
Now it’s time to wait. Kafei doesn’t reach the inn until around 4:30 a.m, less than two hours before the moon’s impact. When he enters the room, Anju and Kafei see each other for the first time since his transformation.
Kafei presents Anju with the recovered Sun Mask, while Anju takes out her Moon Mask. Both symbolically combine the wedding masks and give Link the Couple’s Mask as a thank you.
This concludes the actual story of Anju and Kafei. The two stay together in the inn and want to spend the last minutes together before the supposed end of the world. Then play the Song of Time if you want to complete further tasks.
Piece of Heart at the mayor
After receiving the Lovers’ Mask, there is a direct follow-up task waiting. Travel to a new time cycle and visit the mayor’s office in East Clock Town on the first or second day.
In the meeting room, Mayor Dotour, Captain Viscen and construction manager Mutoh argue about whether the residents should leave Clock Town or continue the carnival despite the falling moon. The discussion is completely stuck.
Put on the Couple’s Mask and talk to those present. The effect of the mask reminds her that mutual understanding is more important than argument. The mayor ends the meeting and gives Link another Piece of Heart to thank him.
