Pirates' Fortress

The Pirates' Fortress is a mini-dungeon from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Located in northern Great Bay Coast in the Great Bay region, this is the fortress of the female Gerudo Pirates.

It can only be entered by smashing through a blocked underwater cavern (the entrance is sealed by a Gerudo Pirate symbol) while Link is wearing the Zora Mask.

Dungeon
The journey through the Pirates' Fortress begins in a lake like area within the fortress. In this area, a few guards on oddly high tech motor boats circle the water on patrol. If Link is in front of these boats, or attempts to climb on the boats, he will be thrown outside, forcing him to re-enter the first area. Link must utilize stealth to proceed through the entirety of the fortress. The Gerudo Pirates will not harm Link if he is spotted; rather, they will throw him out to the main lake area if he is inside the main fortress or simply out of the entire fortress if he is spotted while in the lake area.

In order to obtain the four Zora Eggs hidden in the fortress, Link must also engage in combat with three Gerudo Guards, one of which is Admiral Aveil, the leader of the Pirates. Link must also obtain the Hookshot found in the throne room to actually enter the pools containing the eggs.

Tips

 * The mines found inside can be detonated by causing them to hit another mine. Try using the fin boomerangs or arrows to swing them around.
 * If Link is wearing the Stone Mask, the pirate guards will not be able to see Link at all, allowing him to pass easily. This includes the boat riding pirates in the lake area in which you can even hitch a ride on their boats if you have the mask on. However, the Gerudo Guards will easily see past his disguise, and even make a comment about it.
 * Swords and arrows also work on the guards, sending them into unconciousness for a few moments (symbolized by a set of canaries and stars spinning about their heads) when which you may sneak past. Interestingly, the guards on the boats cannot be dispatched in this manner.
 * Skirting the edges of the Pirate Fortress is easy, for the Pirate Guards see only in small areas, allowing Link to pass easily.
