The game starts with [[Link (Ocarina of Time)#Majora's Mask|Link]], now the Hero of Time from ''Ocarina of Time'', looking for [[Navi]] in the [[Lost Woods]]. Two fairies, [[Tatl]] and [[Tael]], startle [[Epona]] and Link is knocked out after falling off. A [[Skull Kid]] wearing a mysterious mask appears and steals Epona and the [[Ocarina of Time]] then rides into the woods. Link then follows Skull Kid into a mysterious tree. | The game starts with [[Link (Ocarina of Time)#Majora's Mask|Link]], now the Hero of Time from ''Ocarina of Time'', looking for [[Navi]] in the [[Lost Woods]].

The Skull Kid turns Link into a [[Deku Scrub]] and leaves but accidentally leaves Tatl behind. [[Deku Link]] and Tatl follow them into [[Clock Tower]]. They meet the [[Happy Mask Salesman]], who tells them that if they can get Majora's Mask and the Ocarina of Time back in three days, he can turn Link back into a [[Hylian]]. Link learns the Skull Kid has caused mischief across the new world he entered (Called [[Termina]]) and that he is trying to make the [[Moon]] to fall and destroy the world at the end of the third day. | The Skull Kid turns Link into a [[Deku Scrub]] and leaves but accidentally leaves Tatl behind.

''Majora's Mask'' plays very similarly to ''Ocarina of Time'', since many aspects of the first game on the Nintendo 64 were brought to the second one. However, ''Majora's Mask'' has a unique cycle of 3 days, in which the player has to travel back in time at the end right before the moon crashes into Termina. As soon as the player travels back in time, they lose certain items and progress they made during the last 3 days. Because of the 3 day mechanic, ''Majora's Mask'' is more time travel heavy than ''Ocarina of Time''. In ''Ocarina of Time'', the only time travel is between the future and the past, while in ''Majora's Mask'', the player can go back to the beginning of the 3 days, slow down time, and fast forward to any point in the 3 day cycle. | ''Majora's Mask'' plays very similarly to ''Ocarina of Time'', since many aspects of the first game on the [[Nintendo 64]] were brought to the second one.

''Majora's Mask'' is also strange because the main quest is rather short. This is compensated however with the abundance of side quests found in the game. Many of these side quests reward Link with various kinds of masks. If Link obtains all the masks in the game, he is rewarded with the most powerful one in the game right before the final battle. Because of the power of the final mask, the final boss can either be the easiest or one of the most difficult in the ''Zelda'' series. | ''Majora's Mask'' is also strange because the main quest is rather short.

[[Link (Ocarina of Time)#Majora's Mask|Link]] will come across many masks on his journey, most of which are not necessary to complete the game. There are four transformation masks. The first one Link will receive is the [[Deku Mask]] of which he was cursed into by Skull Kid. The second transformation mask is received by playing the [[Song of Healing]] for the Spirit of [[Darmani]] (Hero of the Gorons), who begs Link to heal his soul. Once played, he will receive the [[Goron Mask]]. The third transformation mask is obtained after Link pushes a [[Zora]] by the name of [[Mikau]] ( | [[Link (Ocarina of Time)#Majora's Mask|Link]] will come across many masks on his journey, most of which are not necessary to complete the game.

The third transformation mask is obtained after Link pushes a [[Zora]] by the name of [[Mikau]] (guitarist for a Zora band called "The Indigo-Go's") to shore, and playing the Song of Healing to capture the spirit of [[Mikau]] into the [[Zora Mask]] which will allow Link to appear to be [[Mikau]]. The fourth and final transformation mask is not necessary to complete the game but dramatically makes [[Majora]], the final boss, a breeze. To achieve this mask Link must have all 20 normal masks and give them to the kids on the [[Moon]] to play a game. Once all of Link's masks are gone the kid wearing Majora's Mask will feel sorry for Link and give him the powerful [[Fierce Deity's Mask]]. | ||

*Another theory is that Link represents the [[Deku Butler]]'s son in his [[Deku Scrub]] form. This is supported by how [[Zora Mask]] and [[Goron Mask]] both turn you into a deceased character. It is also supported by the Deku Butler, after giving [[Link (Ocarina of Time)#Majora's Mask|Link]] the [[Mask of Scents]], says that Link 'reminds him of his son'. Finally, in the ending credits, the Deku Butler is seen kneeling near the statue the player sees in the beginning, suggesting that this could be his dead or forever-immobilized son. | *Another theory is that Link represents the [[Deku Butler]]'s son in his [[Deku Scrub]] form.
