Bring all 20 non-transformation masks for the moon trials. With all four temple bosses defeated, return to the Clock Tower on the final night and play the Oath to Order. On the moon, complete the four children’s trials and collect their Pieces of Heart before approaching the child beneath the tree.
Midnight of the last day
Play the Inverted Song of Time if you still need enough time for final preparations, and then wait until the night of the third day. At midnight the clock tower in Süd-Clock Town opens. Use the ramp and the stairs to get to the roof, where the Skull Kid is already waiting for Link. Unlike the first visit, this time we have all four legacies of the temple guardians.
Plays the Oath to Order. The four giants appear from the four cardinal points and brace themselves together against the falling moon. For a brief moment, Termina appears to be saved, but Majora’s Mask takes complete control. She leaves the Skull Kid, flies into the moon on her own and forces him further against the giants.
Link follows Majora’s Mask without hesitation and lands inside the moon. Instead of a gloomy landscape, a peaceful green meadow with a single large tree awaits you. Four children play around him, carrying Odolwa, Goht, Gyorg and Twinmold’s legacy. A fifth child wearing Majora’s Mask sits alone under the tree.
Time stands still within the moon. You no longer have to hurry and can complete the four exams in peace. Don’t talk to the child under the tree yet, because you can start the final battle straight away. To ensure our perfect passage, we first take care of the four other children.
Odolwa Child – Deku Trial
Find the child with Odolwa’s legacy and talk to him. It initially requires a normal mask. Give him any mask you don’t need for the following trials. You will then be teleported to a small course that tests Deku Link’s skills.
Immediately transform with the Deku Shell and use the first Deku Flower. In front of you, platforms with more flowers rotate through the room. Wait for a favorable moment and let yourself be carried from one flower to the next. Spiked rollers also move on the later rotating platforms. If possible, land directly on a Deku flower and dive into it immediately so that Link is not pushed into the abyss by a roller.
In the last large section you can either fly directly to the exit or first collect the first of the last four Pieces of Heart. From the rotating platform you fly to the rear right platform . The 49. Piece of Heart is open there. If you have collected all Pieces of Heart of our Walkthrough up to this point, this is the first of the four copies only available in the moon.
Then return to the rotating flowers and fly to the platform at the back left. Through the door you reach the Odolwa child. It requires another normal mask. Give it to him and you will be teleported back to the large meadow. In total, the first test cost two masks.
Goht Child – Goron Trial
Next, talk to the child who carries Goht’s Remains. This time you have to hand in two masks before the exam begins. Then transform into Goron Link and, if necessary, smash the jars to fill your magic bar.
The Goron test consists of a long rolling course over narrow ramps and several abysses. The most important rule is: Align the Goron Link as precisely as possible at the beginning. Start rolling and build up enough speed until the spikes appear. If the angle is chosen correctly, Link automatically bounces off several Treasure Chests and is thereby guided over the individual sections of the course. Avoid unnecessary steering movements as long as the automatic sequence works, because even a small correction can take you off the intended course.
After several jumps you reach the back area of the test. The 50 is open there. Piece of Heart. Take it with you and then orientate yourself on the bridges in the middle of the area. There is also a teleport field nearby that would take you back to the beginning. Run past it and aim Goron Link at the long straight bridge that leads to a ramp. Build up speed again and jump over the last abyss onto the snowy platform in front of the door.
The Goht child waits behind it. Give him two more masks and return to the meadow in the moon. For this test you have a total of four masks delivered. Together with the two masks from the Deku exam, you are now missing six of the 20 normal masks.
Gyorg Child – Zora Exam
Now look for the child with Gyorg’s legacy. It requires three masks before allowing Link into his trial. The following section consists of a branching underwater labyrinth, whose strong current automatically pulls Zora Link through the individual tunnels.
Transform into Zora Link and jump into the water. At several intersections you have to choose a tunnel. For the Piece of Heart you take the route left – right – left – left in the Nintendo 64 version. The current finally carries you into the room with the 51. Piece of Heart. If you have followed our collection route so far, all that is missing is the last Piece of Heart in the Twinmold child test.
After collecting it, you can return via the continuing water channel and then swim through the test to the exit. Since the Zora Link current flows through the tubes at high speed, you should steer in the desired direction before you turn off. If you miss a tunnel, you just end up at a different exit or back at the beginning of the test and can try again.
3D Difference: In Majora’s Mask 3D the Zora test has been changed. There the section consists of several areas with crystal switches and temporarily open gates. The route given above left – right – left – left therefore applies to the Nintendo 64 version of our Walkthrough.
Then reach the Gyorg child and give him three more masks. Since three masks have already been required for entry, the entire exam costs a total six masks. Together with the two masks at Odolwa and the four masks at Goht, you have now handed in twelve of the 20 normal masks.
Twinmold child – final test
Finally, talk to the child who carries Twinmold’s Remains. Four masks are required for entry. In contrast to the previous tests, this time the focus is not on a specific form of transformation. Instead, you can expect a short sequence of well-known Minibosses and small puzzles.
A Dinolfos is waiting in the first combat room. With the Great Fairy’s Sword or a few normal sword blows he is quickly dispatched. Continue following the path until you face the Garo Master again. Use the same tactics as in Stone Tower: Stay on the move, avoid his attack and immediately follow up with your sword. After his victory, a Treasure Chest will appear above you. Use the Hookshot to pull yourself up and follow the next corridor.
A little later you will reach a room with a Iron Prince. Activate it and stay out of its long striking range. Let him attack, back away and then use the long pause for one or two hits. As soon as parts of his armor break, he becomes faster, but at the same time his movements are easier to exploit. After the victory, a Treasure Chest appears with Bombchus.
Take a close look at the right wall of the room. There you will see a cracked spot. Place a Bombchu on the ground so that it runs up the wall and explodes approximately at the level of the crack. Behind it comes a Eye Switch. Hit him with an arrow and a ladder will appear. Climb up and go through the door.
In the next small room is finally the 52nd and last Piece of Heart of Majora’s Mask. If you have collected all previous Pieces of Heart in our solution, Link will have all 52 Pieces of Heart and accordingly the maximum possible number of regular Heart Container.
For the output you have to use another Bombchu. There is a crack in the ceiling above you. Stand roughly in the middle of the room and have a Bombchu run up a side wall. It continues across the ceiling and must explode right at the crack. Behind it is a frozen Eye Switch. Shoot a Fire Arrow at it and the last door opens.
The Twinmold child demands four more masks. Give it to him. This test therefore costs a total eight masks. Together with the two masks for Odolwa, four for Goht and six for Gyorg, you now have exactly all of them 20 normal masks delivered. Deku Shell, Goron Mask and Zora Mask are still in your inventory.
