Link starts Majora’s Mask without bomb bag and without Hero’s Bow. Both types of equipment can be improved several times over the course of the game. For our 100% walkthrough we get all the upgrades so that Link ends up with up to 40 bombs and 50 arrows can wear at the same time.
With the bomb bags it is important that the upgrades build on each other. For the giant bomb bag you first need the large bomb bag. It works similarly with the quivers: After receiving the Hero’s Bow, Link initially has space for 30 arrows, then we can increase the capacity to 40 and finally to 50 arrows.
Bomb Bag – 20 bombs
You can buy the first bomb bag in the bomb shop in West Clock Town. It costs 50 Rupees and allows Link to carry up to 20 bombs at a time.
Bombs are needed regularly throughout the game, for example to open cracked walls and rocks. Although the Blast Mask can replace normal bombs in many situations, the bomb bag is still a must in our 100% route for complete equipment.
Large Bomb Bag – 30 Bombs
The Large Bomb Bag increases Link’s supply from 20 to 30 bombs. There are two different ways to do this in the Nintendo 64 version, which are related to Sakon’s attack on the old lady from the bomb shop.
The most convenient variant is in the first night around midnight to go to North Clock Town. There, Sakon tries to steal the old lady’s bag. Attack him with the sword before he escapes. The goods therefore remain with the owner.
The following day, the bomb shop in West Clock Town offers the Large Bomb Bag for 90 Rupees. Buy them and your maximum bomb capacity increases to 30.
Alternatively, you can let Sakon escape. In this case, the Curiosity Shop in West Clock Town sells the stolen Large Bomb Bag last night for 100 Rupees. This route is a little more expensive.
Important: If you want to get the All-Night Mask at the same time, you have to stop Sakon on the first night. For Kafei’s Quest, however, Sakon cannot be stopped in the cycle in question. Therefore, plan these tasks in different time cycles.
Giant Bomb Bag – 40 bombs
If you already have the Big Bomb Bag, you can reach the maximum level. Travel to Goron Village and look for the Deku dealer there.
The dealer is only interested in Gorons. Therefore, put on the Goron Mask and address him as Goron Link. He offers you the giant bomb bag. To do this you have to hand in your previous Big Bomb Bag and pay an additional 200 Rupees.
After the swap, Link can carry up to 40 bombs at a time. This means the bomb bag is fully maximized.
Hero’s Bow – 30 arrows
The Hero’s Bow you will receive it automatically Woodfall Temple. After the discovery, Link can initially have a maximum 30 arrows carry.
The bow is not only needed for opponents. Numerous switches, mini-games and later special arrows require it. Fire, Ice and Light Arrows use the same arrow supply, which is why the quiver upgrades are particularly worthwhile.
Large Quiver – 40 Arrows
For the first quiver upgrade, visit the Swamp Shooting Gallery on the road between Termina Field and the Southern Swamp. One attempt costs 20 Rupees.
The goal is to shoot as many enemies as possible within the time limit. Deku Babas, Octoroks, Guays and Wolves bring different scores. The wolves and flying enemies are particularly valuable.
Reached at least 2,120 points to the Big quiver to obtain. This increases your capacity from 30 40 arrows.
The shooting gallery is not yet completely finished. Play again later and get at least 2,180 points. There is also a Piece of Heart.
Giant Quiver – 50 arrows
The final quiver level is waiting in the shooting gallery in East Clock Town. Here too, one attempt costs 20 Rupees.
In contrast to the swamp shooting gallery, it is not about a freely calculated score, but rather about precision. Red Octoroks are your targets, while blue Octoroks cannot be hit. If an arrow hits a blue opponent, your time will be deducted or your perfect pass will be jeopardized.
For the Giant quiver you all have to 50 red Octoroks meet. If you make the perfect pass, Link’s maximum arrow capacity increases to 50 arrows.
This gives you the maximum quiver size. This additional reserve is particularly useful in the Stone Tower Temple and Finale, as Light Arrows quickly consume larger amounts of arrows.
