Masks - The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D Guide - IGN (2024)

One of the key aspects of the Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask are the unique Masks that Link will find throughout the game. Some will transform Link into new forms, while others have very limited uses. There are a total of 24 masks in the game. If you speak to the Happy Mask Salesman while wearing any of the masks he make different comments on each one.

Transformation Masks

Secondary Masks

Bremen Mask

Location Found: Clock Town, Laundry Pool
Uses: When worn, press B to initiate a march using the Ocarina to cause small animals to follow behind you. Needed to obtain the Bunny Hood. The Bremen Mask can also be used to make the Ikana Warriors march behind you during battle.

Link receives this mask from Guru-Guru, the musician with the Gorman Troupe, in the Laundry Pool area of South Clocktown at night during the first or second nights. Just go to the Laundry Pool in Clock Townand talk to the guy about his problems and you will receive the mask. Please note: Guru-Guru only gives you this mask if you are in human form.

Great Fairy's Mask

Location Found: Clock Town, Great Fairy Fountain
Uses: Wearing the Great Fairy Mask will cause wayward Stray Fairies to travel towards you. When worn in dungeons, the mask's hair will glow when a Stray Fairy is present somewhere in the room.

In the 3DS version the mask will make a chime sound and attract Stray Fairies that are not trapped in bubbles or otherwise obstructed.

You can get this mask by returning the lost fairy to the Great Fairy Fountain in North Clocktown.You can find the Stray Fairy either in the Laundry Pool during the day, or by the Stock Pot Inn at night, for this last one you may have to use the Deku flower to be able to reach it.

Bunny Hood

Location Found: Romani Ranch, Cucco Farm
Uses: When worn, Link will run much fast and jump for farther distances. The bunny hood will also let you see hidden timers like the one used in the Postman's minigame.

Once you have obtained the Bremen Mask, go to Romani's Ranch any day (If you haven't finished the Second Dungeon and acquired the Powder Keg then you'll have to go there during the Third day) at the bottom of the ranch you will find two houses that you can access. Go to the one with the little chicks painted on the walls. There you will see a depressed guy who's sad because he won't be able to see his little chicks grow up to be Cuccoos. Mind helping him? With the Bremen Mask equipped, hold B to start marching, walk near every chick you see, and then when you get them all (10) they will start turning into Roosters (yay!). Now the guy will see his chicks grown into Cuccoos and will gladly give you the Bunny Hood as a reward!

Mask of Scents

Location Found: Southern Swamp, Deku Palace Entrance
Uses: Using this mask will help you detect scents by coloring their odors in a visible manner. This can be used to help make Kotake's Blue Potions by finding the right mushrooms, or detecting other... pungent stenches.

To get the mask, you will have to finish the Woodfall Temple and rescue the Deku Princess who is right behind you after you defeat Odolwa, to carry her use an empty bottle to put her in it.

There you will find the Deku Butler, you will have to race him to get the mask.

Having the Bunny Hood would make things easier for you, but don't rely too much on it, use both the Deku Mask and the Bunny Hood to make your way through easier. Once you finish the race, the Butler will tell you that you remind him of his son. He will then give you the Mask of Scents.
