Destruction of Termina

The Destruction of Termina is an event from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. If Link fails to stop the Skull Kid, he will use the power of Majora's Mask to cause the Moon to descend upon the land of Termina, destroying everything. If Link does not manage to play the "Song of Time" to reset the three-day cycle before 72 hours have passed, Termina will be engulfed in a huge blaze of fire. However, at the last moment, Link is rescued from the destruction by the Happy Mask Salesman, who has also apparently reset the cycle. Since the previous three-day cycle was not saved, none of the things Link completed or obtained in the previous three-day cycle will be carried over, forcing Link to repeat his quest.
