| − | The mask is first introduced after the [[Happy Mask Salesman]] removes the curse that was placed on [[Link]] by [[Skull Kid]]. The salesman explains that the mask is an ancient artifact that was used by an ancient tribe for its bewitching rituals, but the mask's wicked power became so great that it was sealed away to prevent a great catastrophe. However, since the ancient tribe vanished, no one accurately knows the true nature of its power. The salesman fears the great devastation that could befall [[Termina]] if the mask is not taken back from the Skull Kid.<ref name="Quote1">{{cite|The mask that was stolen from me...

But now, that tribe from the legend has vanished, so no one really knows the true nature of the mask's power... ...But I feel it. I went to great lengths to get that legendary mask.

| − | ==Strategy== |
||
| − | Majora's Mask has three different forms: the mask itself, Majora's Incarnation, and Majora's Wrath. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Majora's Mask=== |
||
| − | [[File:Majora's Mask.png|thumb|Right|Majora's Mask first form]] |
||
| − | Majora's Mask comes to life and grows hairlike tentacles as well as growing significantly larger. To defeat the Mask, [[Link]] must stun it with some projectile weapon to make it collapse to the ground, allowing him to strike it with his sword. However, it must be a strike to the back to stun it. An easy way to do this is to transform into Zora Link. When Z-targeting the Mask, the Boomerang fins fly around behind it and strike it in the back, stunning it. Additionally, there are flower designs on the ground. Deku Link can burrow into these flower designs, making him temporarily impossible to hit and allowing him to hit the Mask as it flies over him. After the Mask has taken enough damage, it shoots a fire beam at Link and the four [[Boss Remains]] Masks begin to attack Link as well, though little effort is taken to kill them. The beam can be deflected with Link's [[Mirror Shield]] to reflect it back at the mask. Majora's Mask has tentacles in this form and can use a whirling attack. This attack cannot be blocked, but it can be countered with a well-timed spin attack, which causes the mask to become stunned and vulnerable to Link's sword. |
||
| − | {{clear}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Majora's Incarnation=== |
||
| − | [[File:Majora's Incarnation.png|thumb|right|Majora's Incarnation]] |
||
| − | After the Mask form is defeated, it loses its tendrils and grows a set of spindly arms and legs, as well as a tiny, one-eyed head with horns. This form of Majora's Mask will run madly around the room, pausing every now and then to perform a variety of dances—[[wikipedia:Moonwalk (dance)|moonwalking]], pirouettes, jumping jacks, and even the [[wikipedia:Kozachok|Kozachok]]—or to make taunting gestures at Link. Its only attack is a rapid-fire barrage of energy bolts it fires from its hands. Though not used often, this attack is difficult to anticipate and can be deadly if Link isn't fast enough. |
||
| − | |||
| − | To defeat Majora's Incarnation, Link must hit it with either his [[sword]] or [[arrow]]s when it stops to dance. When this happens, it will fall on its face and flail about, and after being struck a few times with the sword, it will get up again. During the entire battle, Majora's Incarnation makes mad clucking and whooping noises, and emits a high-pitched screech whenever struck. Though seemingly weaker than its other forms, its speed and constant gibbering can be grating for many players. |
||
| − | {{clear}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Majora's Wrath=== |
||
| − | [[File:Majora's Wrath.png|thumb|right|Majora's Wrath]] |
||
| − | After the final scream from the Incarnation is heard, it stands up to assume its final form. Its muscles begin to throb and inflate into a more humanoid shape, whip-like tendrils shoot out from its hands, and a new head bursts forth from its neck, becoming Majora's Wrath. To defeat Majora's Wrath, Link must use a projectile weapon to stun it while it is paused, then strike it with a [[Light Arrow]] or his sword. This process must be repeated until it is defeated. The individual attacks of Majora's Wrath are not particularly damaging, however, its immense reach allows it to attack numerous times very quickly. It often jumps from one side of the arena to the other. Its attacks are fast-hitting, but slow to wind up, giving Link a window of opportunity to attack. Majora's Wrath attacks by whipping its tendrils three times, leaping across the room, throwing giant spinning tops lined with spikes, grabbing Link and tossing him clear across the room, and using a furious whipping attack that is only announced by a horrifying shriek briefly before it uses the attack. |
||

| − | Killing Majora's Wrath causes the monster to disintegrate into ashes, finally eliminating the threat to Termina. |

||
| − | |||
| − | To obtain the Fierce Deity's Mask, Link must obtain all twenty-three other masks and use them to enter the four moon dungeons. While on the moon, the young hero will notice five [[Moon Children|children]], four of which are running around wearing each of the [[Boss Remains]]. Each will allow Link entrance to their dungeon, for a specific fee of masks.<ref>{{cite|Then I'll play with you. So...The masks...Give me some...|Children of the Moon|MM}}</ref> If he gives a total of twenty masks to the four children (excluding the three transformation masks) at the entrance and exit of each dungeon, the child wearing Majora's Mask will give him the Fierce Deity's Mask for a game of "Good vs. Bad", although this has no effect on the boss battle.<ref>{{cite|Let's play good guys against bad guys...

A traveler then comes forward to the place where the monster lived. The traveler starts talking with the man-eating creature, where he finds that the monster itself wanted to die, being so miserable. The man proceeded pulled out his bongo and started playing. The monster went into a trance and started dancing. The traveler played for three days straight. On the third day, the beast dropped dead from dancing his heart out. The hero took its magical armor, but instead of wishing upon it, he carved it into a mask in an attempt to seal the beast's power inside the mask forever. The mask was named Majora after the beast. The mask had a spirit because Majora's evil power lingered on inside the mask seeking a host, not resting until ''its'' wish was granted. |

||
| − | The [[Twili]] tribe, which was introduced in {{TP}}, or more likely their [[Interlopers|Interloper]] ancestors, could be the [[Ancient Tribe|ancient tribe]] that used and possibly created Majora's Mask. Majora's Mask has similarities to the [[Fused Shadow]], a relic created by the Interlopers, as they share similar powers and have some aesthetic similarities, especially around the eyes. The Twili's fighting style, as portrayed by [[Zant]], is also very similar to that of Majora's Wrath. As such, Majora's Mask could be the Terminan version of the Fused Shadow, or perhaps a "prototype" of it. And considering that the Happy Mask Salesman said that he went to great lengths to get the mask, It could mean that he actually went into the [[Twilight Realm]] to get Majora's Mask. |

Pyramid can refer to several places in the Zelda universe.
- Pyramid of Power, a Pyramid were you fight the final boss in A Link to the Past.
- Pyramid (Dungeon), a Pyramid created by the ancestors of the Zuna which protected the Trident in Four Swords Adventures.
- Mutoh's Temple, a Pyramid that serves as the tomb of King Mutoh and the seventh dungeon in Phantom Hourglass.
