In {{MM}}, '''Ikana Canyon''' is the region to the east of [[Clock Town]], and the place where the final temple, the [[Stone Tower Temple]], resides. It is known to be a cursed land where the [[Ikana Kingdom]] once existed, being home to the dead and filled with spirits who linger with regret and hatred.<ref>{{cite|Ikana Kingdom was founded on this land, stained with a history of darkness, drenched in blood... Even now it is a place where troubled, regretful spirits gather.The land has been cursed making deceased bodies return to life. |Poe Collector|Majora's Mask}}</ref> The [[Garo|Garo Ninjas]] can also be found here spying on the deserted land.

Like [[Great Bay Coast]], the entrance to Ikana Canyon is blocked by fences that can only be jumped over using [[Epona]].

Once further inside the canyon, Link must make use of his [[Ice Arrow]]s to cross the [[Octorok]]-infested river and Hookshot his way up to the main part of the Ikana Canyon.<ref>{{cite|To cross the valley of Ikana, aim at the river beasts with the arrowhead that freezes.|Garo|MM}}</ref> It is also possible to get up with only the Hookshot at a close enough point.

==Main Features==
 
[[File:IkanaValley.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ikana Canyon's lower cliffs known as Ikana Valley]]
 
Ikana Canyon is notable in ''Majora's Mask'' for having more than twice as many boss battles (mini-boss and optional included) than any other place in the rest of the game, totaling twenty-six if each boss is counted as an individual in a battle. During his stay in this region, Link will have to visit most of the landmarks in order to finally bring peace and calm the lingering spirits that fill Ikana Canyon with such a history of greed and hatred.
 
 
The locations listed below are in the order that Link encounters them in ''Majora's Mask'' as he traverses the massive canyon.
 
{{clear}}
 
===Road to Ikana===
 
{{Main|Road to Ikana}}
 
The Road to Ikana is a rocky gorge ridden with iron fences, ancient statues, and enemies called [[Nejiron]]s that resemble [[Goron]]s, but explode on contact. The pass features an entrance to the [[Ikana Graveyard]] and the main canyon.
 
 
===Ikana Graveyard===
 
{{Main|Ikana Graveyard}}
 
Ikana Graveyard is an eerie burial ground kept by [[Dampé]] the grave keeper who patrols by day and hides by night,<ref>{{cite|I am Dampe, the grave keeper, who watches over this graveyard.|Dampé|MM}}</ref> claiming he is frightened by ghosts.<ref>{{cite|Aaaaieeee!!! Th-they're out! Why are they out when it's not even night?|Dampé|MM}}</ref><ref>{{cite|Even nowadays, the ghosts come out at night. It is a frightening graveyard.|Dampé|MM}}</ref> As night falls upon the canyon, the [[Stalchild|undead soldiers]] of Ikana awaken and guard the graves.<ref>{{cite|It's a Stalchild. They were the cursed soldiers of the Kingdom of Ikana...What are you gonna do?|Tatl|MM}}</ref><ref>{{cite|As per your orders, sir, we've been guarding these graves closely.|Stalchild|MM}}</ref> Here, Link can obtain the [[Captain's Hat]] by defeating the soldiers' gigantic captain, [[Captain Keeta|Skull Keeta]], who rests under an arch near Dampé's house.<ref>{{cite|Did you see the huge skeleton at the back of this graveyard? My father once said that was all that was left of the former Royal Soldier who once guarded this graveyard. Even though he is dead, his remains still block the way. In a sense, he is still guarding the Royal Family's treasure. He must have been a fine soldier, indeed.|Dampé|MM}}</ref> On each night of the three day cycle, the soldiers open a new grave which feature a small dungeon within, the first being a tomb guarded by an [[Iron Knuckle]] where Link learns the [[Song of Storms]].<ref>{{cite|The melody that summons the tears of angels rests here.|Grave|MM}}</ref> The second grave contains an Iron Knuckle and a [[Heart Container#Piece of Heart|Piece of Heart]],<ref>{{cite|A piece that heals the wounded soul rests here.|Grave|MM}}</ref> and in the third Link finds Dampé searching for an empty bottle, who asks to use the aura of his fairy to light the way.<ref>{{cite|A vessel that holds wandering spirits rests here.|Grave|MM}}</ref><ref>{{cite|Oh, it was the fairy's light. In that case, it's just perfect. I came looking for the Royal Family's legendary treasure, but my torch has gone out. I'm sorry, but could you walk in front of me and light the way?|Dampé|MM}}</ref>
 
 
===Underground Waterfall===
 
This waterfall can be found at the start of the river that separates the lower terrain of the canyon from the upper one. Behind it is the [[Secret Shrine]], and at the end of its river is [[Southern Swamp]].
 
 
===Sakon's Hideout===
 
{{Main|Sakon's Hideout}}
 
[[Sakon]] the thief, who plays a major role in the [[Reuniting Kafei and Anju|Anju and Kafei side quest]], has his hideout here hidden behind a large seal that only he can open. Once inside the hideout, Link finds a virtual maze featuring puzzles, enemies, and traps.
 
 
===Ikana River===
 
{{Main|Ikana River}}
 
The dried up Ikana River pours down from a haunted grotto and into the canyon's neighboring region, the Southern Swamp below. The ghost composer [[Composer Brothers#Sharp|Sharp]] inflicted an evil curse upon the river in the hopes of destroying all life in the valley.
 
 
===Spring Water Cave===
 
{{Main|Spring Water Cave}}
 
The Spring Water Cave has also been dried up due to the curse cast upon it by the ghost composer, Sharp. Only by playing him the song written by his brother will water rise again from the spring.
 
 
===The Music Box House===
 
{{Main|Music Box House}}
 
Young [[Pamela]] and [[Pamela's Father|her father]], a ghost researcher,<ref>{{cite|I am the famed academic who researches fairies, ghosts and similar so-called supernatural phenomena.|Pamela's Father|MM}}</ref> reside here fending off the undead with the carnival-like song, [[Farewell to Gibdos]], coming from the trumpet-like contraption atop their house.<ref>{{cite|By the way, the song, Farewell to Gibdos, which the music box is now playing, drives away Gibdos. I discovered it after many years of researching Gibdos.|Pamela's Father|MM}}</ref> A group of [[Gibdo]]s encircle the house looking for Pamela's Father, who is half-mummified from an encounter with Gibdos in the Well.<ref>{{cite|Brrrinnnggg them! Those inssside...Our friendsss... Brrrriiiiinnnng them!|Gibdo|MM}}</ref> Frightened, Pamela shoves her father in a closet and promises to protect him from any further harm, despite the fact that the source of the music box's power, the river, is dried up.
 
 
Link can obtain the [[Gibdo Mask]] from within the house by playing the [[Song of Healing]] in front of Pamela's father.
 
 
===Beneath the Well===
 
{{Main|Beneath the Well}}
 
Ikana's well featuring a network of water channels and chambers has been long-dried up from the evil powers of Ikana's undead. Banned for entry by Pamela's father, due to "ghost sightings,"<ref>{{cite|Empty Well Entry prohibited due to ghost sightings!|Sign|MM}}</ref> the well has become the home of Gibdo community that await certain items for which they will trade passage into the next room.<ref>{{cite|As the Gibdos in Ikana's well have regrets and long to savor items from this world, they continue to wander about.|Garo|MM}}</ref> Once Link has escaped from the well, he can obtain the [[Mirror Shield]] and journey into [[Ikana Castle]].
 
 
===Ancient Castle of Ikana===
 
{{Main|Ancient Castle of Ikana}}
 
Long forgotten by the world, much like the rest of Ikana Canyon, the castle has crumbled into ancient ruins, populated by nasty traps, evil monsters, and lost souls seeking revenge on the world. At the end of the castle, the [[Igos du Ikana|King of Ikana]] and his two dim-witted guards await a savior to bring Ikana out of its curse.
 
 
===Stone Tower===
 
{{Main|Stone Tower}}
 
The entrance to the Stone Tower Temple contains several [[Fire Keese]] and [[Beamos]], along with many [[Boulder]]s and a bottomless pit. Link uses the [[Elegy of Emptiness]], learned from Igos du Ikana, to hold down switches that move large, mobile blocks into various positions, allowing passage to the Stone Tower Temple. Once Link obtains the Light Arrows from the [[Garo Master]], he can fire a Light Arrow into the red gem near the entrance, which will flip the entire tower, including the temple.
 
 
===Stone Tower Temple===
 
{{Main|Stone Tower Temple}}
 
This topsy-turvey temple is located at the highest point of Ikana. The tower is full of undead creatures, ranging from ReDeads, Poes, and [[Eyegore]]s to [[Armos]] and Garos. Within, Link fights the Garo Master, from whom he receives the Light Arrow as spoils, and the bat-attracting [[Gomess]], from whom Link acquires the Boss Key. At the end of the temple, Link can obtain the [[Giant's Mask]] and is warped into a mysterious desert where he duels [[Twinmold]], two gigantic parasites.
 
 
===Secret Shrine===
 
{{Main|Secret Shrine}}
 
An optional cave found behind the aforementioned underground waterfall.<ref>{{cite|Secret shrine behind waterfall Now awaiting the challenges of bold visitors sure of their might. Hee-hee-hee!|Sign|MM}}</ref> Inside it, Link will find numerous mini-bosses, all of which were fought before in the temples.

==Trivia==
 
*It is possible to cross Ikana Canyon and complete the Stone Tower Temple without completing the [[Great Bay Temple]] beforehand. Typically, the [[Ice Arrow]]s are required to freeze the Octoroks in the river and cross it by jumping on their frozen bodies. However, if Link stands at the edge of the bank of the river, close to the wall on the left and aim for the dead tree with the Hookshot, it is possible for him to latch it and be pulled over. This would allow the Stone Tower Temple to be defeated prior to the Great Bay Temple, effectively playing the game out-of-sequence.
 
*The sample resembling female vocals found in parts of Ikana Canyon's theme has been reused in ''Twilight Princess'' for [[Hyrule]]'s night theme.
