The [[Pirates' Fortress]] is a mini-dungeon in {{MM}}.
'''Mother Maiamai''' is a character in {{ALBW}}. She is a [[Maiamai]] who asks Link to find her missing children, in exchange for item upgrades.

==Entrance to the Fortress==
==Biography==
 
  +
The Fortress is located on the [[Great Bay Coast]] and can only be accessed by [[Zora Link]], for the entrance is blocked by wooden planks underwater. It is the hideout for a gang of [[Gerudo#Majora's Mask|Gerudo Pirates]] who have stolen four of the [[Zora Egg]]s from [[Lulu]] and plan on ruling the Western Ocean.<ref>{{Cite|Oh! Baby, listen to me. I don't wanna beg. Gerudo Pirates! They stole that girl's eggs.|Mikau|MM}}</ref> It is also here that [[Link]] overhears the leader of the Pirates, [[Aveil]], saying that the other three eggs were taken by [[Deep Python|sea snake]]s in [[Pinnacle Rock]].<ref>{{Cite|Hurry! Go find the other three eggs before those sea snakes eat them!|Aveil|MM}}</ref>
Mother Maiamai lives in [[Lake Hylia]], in a [[cave]]rn located behind a [[Bomb]]able wall (originally the [[Lake Hylia Shop‎]] in {{ALttP}}). When [[Link]] encounters her, she explains to him that she was traveling the worlds with her children when she lost all 100 of her babies.<ref>{{Cite|My, oh, my! What business have you with Mother Maiamai? Forgive me if my spirits aren't flying so high. We were on a great voyage through all the worlds, my takes and I... Then I lost sight of my little Maiamais! All 100 of my babies, by and by!|Mother Maiamai|ALBW}}</ref> She asks the young hero to locate them, informing him that they will be crying out for her.<ref>{{Cite|Could you find all of them? You'll hear my children crying--calling for their Mother Maiamai!|Mother Maiamai|ALBW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|They call out with such cute, chirping sounds. Yet they must be so sad, missing their Mother Maiamai.|Mother Maiamai|ALBW}}</ref> If Link accepts, she gives him the [[Maiamai Map]] to help locate her children.<ref>{{Cite|Thanks! Mother Maiamai finds you quite a kind child. Here--take this. It will help you know if my tykes are nearby. Oh, yes--upon the Maiamai Map you can surely rely!|Mother Maiamai|ALBW}}</ref>
 
   
  +
==Themes and Navigation==
In exchange for locating and returning her babies, she gives Link upgrades to his weapons, turning them into "Nice" weapons. For every 10 Lost Maiamais that Link brings back, she will upgrade one item that Link owns himself (as she cannot upgrade items that Link is renting from [[Ravio's Shop]]). The upgrades she gives improves the performance and attack ability of the weapons. For example, the upgraded [[Bow]] allows Link to shoot 3 Arrows at once, instead of just one. When all 100 babies are returned, she will upgrade Link's [[Spin Attack]] to the [[Great Spin]].<ref>{{Cite|I knew you'd be able to help me. Thank you--oh, thank you! You found all of my babies! Please take this from Mother Maiamai! [...] Mother Maiamai can't thank you enough. You found all my Maiamais! You're nice, child, very nice.|Mother Maiamai|ALBW}}</ref>

Once Link has obtained the [[Zora Mask]], he must find the boarded up entrance to the Fortress, and then crash through it. Like the [[Gerudo's Fortress]] in {{OoT}}, Link must use his stealth abilities in order to get to the inner part of the Fortress, which is where the four Zora Eggs are hidden. The outer part of the Fortress is mostly covered in water with Gerudos patrolling the entrance while riding in boats, so Link will need to use his abilities as Zora Link extensively to be able to get through the traps and enemies that await him. Once inside the inner Fortress, the Gerudo Pirates will increase in numbers, requiring Link to use his [[Bow]] and [[Arrow]]s to stun the thieves and get through them. If Link is caught, he will either be thrown to the outer part of the Fortress or back outside at the Great Bay Coast, depending where he is initially found. The Pirates' Fortress is an intricate maze that consists of many doors and other entrances to go through.
   
  +
The main treasure is the Hookshot, which the Pirates stole from the [[Fisherman#Majora's Mask|Fisherman]].<ref>{{Cite|Oh! That's my hookshot that the pirates stole!|Fisherman|MM}}</ref> It is found in a [[Treasure Chest]] guarded in a room where Aveil is seen arguing with one of the Pirate leaders. The only way to obtain the item is to frighten the Pirates away by releasing the [[Bee]]s living in the hive above the room. Link can shoot the hive from a portion of the room accessible through an alternate entrance with his Bow. In addition to the Hookshot, one of the Zora Eggs is found there as well.
When enhancing an item, ten of her babies form a semicircle around her and chant while she inhales the item and spits it back out, upgraded. When the Great Spin is earned, she inhales Link and spits him out.
 
   
  +
Once the Hookshot is acquired, new areas of the Fortress become accessible. As Link explores them, he must fight a Gerudo Pirate before going into each room keeping a Zora Egg. If he takes a certain amount of damage during the battle, he gets thrown out. When the Gerudo Pirate is defeated, the door to the Zora Egg room opens, allowing Link to scoop the egg inside an empty [[Bottle]] and take it to the [[Marine Research Laboratory]] for them to hatch properly.
If Link speaks to [[Ravio]] after learning the Great Spin and returns to Mother Maiamai, she will say that she and her children are leaving for a different dimension.<ref>{{Cite|You came just in time! It's a bit sudden, but we must bid you good-bye. I'm off to a different dimension with my Maiamais! Oh! But Mother Maiamai doesn't even know your name! Ah...Link. What a nice name. There's nothing more I could do to make it nicer, oh, good friend of mine. My darling tykes owe you their lives. May we see you again, by and by.|Mother Maiamai|ALBW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Good-bye! Good-bye! And thank you, Link!|Mother Maiamai|ALBW}}</ref> When Link returns to the cave, there is a lone Maiamai left behind, the 72nd one that Link saved.<ref>{{Cite|Hello there, Link! I'm the 72nd Maiamai you saved! Thanks for all your help. Mom and the others have gone off. But I--? Well, I stayed behind. Time for me to be my own Maiamai.|Maiamai|ALBW}}</ref> She states that she remained to become her own Maiamai, and asks Link to wish her luck on being as good of a mother as Mother Maiamai was.<ref>{{cite|Hopefully I'll learn to be as good of a mother as my Mother Maiamai. Wish me luck, Link!|Maiamai|ALBW}}</ref>
 
   
  +
An easier way to get through the Fortress is to use the [[Stone Mask]]. This makes makes Link invisible to enemies, so the Pirates will not be able to see him and, therefore, will not be able to throw him out. However, the Stone Mask does not work on the Gerudo Pirates that are fought before each of the Zora Egg rooms, so wearing the mask while fighting them is useless.<ref>{{Cite|We aren't fooled by that mask!|Gerudo Pirate|MM}}</ref> Aveil can also see Link even while he wears the mask.<ref>{{Cite|Halt! Everyone! A rat wearing a strange mask has snuck in!|Aveil|MM}}</ref> In {{MM3D}}, Link receives the Stone Mask from [[Shiro]] while inside the Fortress.

Her name "Maiamai" comes from the Japanese word マイマイ ''maimai'', meaning "snail". The name is also a play on the phrase "My, oh, my!"

*Mother Maiamai bares a close resemblance to the [[Storytelling Creature|Storytelling Octopus]] from {{ALttP}}, as well to the octopi-shaped targets in the game's [[Shooting Gallery]].

Template:Dungeon The Pirates' Fortress is a mini-dungeon in Majora's Mask.

Entrance to the Fortress

The Fortress is located on the Great Bay Coast and can only be accessed by Zora Link, for the entrance is blocked by wooden planks underwater. It is the hideout for a gang of Gerudo Pirates who have stolen four of the Zora Eggs from Lulu and plan on ruling the Western Ocean.[1] It is also here that Link overhears the leader of the Pirates, Aveil, saying that the other three eggs were taken by sea snakes in Pinnacle Rock.[2]

Once Link has obtained the Zora Mask, he must find the boarded up entrance to the Fortress, and then crash through it. Like the Gerudo's Fortress in Ocarina of Time, Link must use his stealth abilities in order to get to the inner part of the Fortress, which is where the four Zora Eggs are hidden. The outer part of the Fortress is mostly covered in water with Gerudos patrolling the entrance while riding in boats, so Link will need to use his abilities as Zora Link extensively to be able to get through the traps and enemies that await him. Once inside the inner Fortress, the Gerudo Pirates will increase in numbers, requiring Link to use his Bow and Arrows to stun the thieves and get through them. If Link is caught, he will either be thrown to the outer part of the Fortress or back outside at the Great Bay Coast, depending where he is initially found. The Pirates' Fortress is an intricate maze that consists of many doors and other entrances to go through.

The main treasure is the Hookshot, which the Pirates stole from the Fisherman.[3] It is found in a Treasure Chest guarded in a room where Aveil is seen arguing with one of the Pirate leaders. The only way to obtain the item is to frighten the Pirates away by releasing the Bees living in the hive above the room. Link can shoot the hive from a portion of the room accessible through an alternate entrance with his Bow. In addition to the Hookshot, one of the Zora Eggs is found there as well.

Once the Hookshot is acquired, new areas of the Fortress become accessible. As Link explores them, he must fight a Gerudo Pirate before going into each room keeping a Zora Egg. If he takes a certain amount of damage during the battle, he gets thrown out. When the Gerudo Pirate is defeated, the door to the Zora Egg room opens, allowing Link to scoop the egg inside an empty Bottle and take it to the Marine Research Laboratory for them to hatch properly.

An easier way to get through the Fortress is to use the Stone Mask. This makes makes Link invisible to enemies, so the Pirates will not be able to see him and, therefore, will not be able to throw him out. However, the Stone Mask does not work on the Gerudo Pirates that are fought before each of the Zora Egg rooms, so wearing the mask while fighting them is useless.[4] Aveil can also see Link even while he wears the mask.[5] In Majora's Mask 3D, Link receives the Stone Mask from Shiro while inside the Fortress.
