The Giant's Mask is an item in Majora's Mask.[1]
Location and Uses[]
Majora's Mask[]
In Majora's Mask, the Giant's Mask is obtained in the Stone Tower Temple after defeating the second Eyegore.[2] In the 3DS remake Majora's Mask 3D, the Giant's Mask is instead obtained during the Temple's Boss battle, after defeating the blue Twinmold.
When Link wears the Mask, he becomes a giant.[3] It can only be used in Twinmold's chamber at the Stone Tower Temple. The Giant's Mask is not actually required to defeat the Boss as other items can defeat it, but it is recommended, to make the battle easier. Wearing the Mask will drain Link's Magic Meter, and if depleted, he will return to normal size.
In Majora's Mask 3D, the Mask has an entirely different function from the original N64 game. With his Sword and Shield seemingly vanished, it increases Link's muscle mass and allows him to attack with just his bare hands, performing punches, uppercuts, and double-hand smashes, similar to Goron Link. Once the red Twinmold has been knocked down by several of these attacks, Link will be able to squeeze the Boss's neck or swing it around by its tail before slamming it to the ground to finish it off, a more violent method in comparison to Mask's original purpose.
Non-Canon Appearances[]
Hyrule Warriors[]
In Hyrule Warriors, the Giant's Mask appears as a costume for Volga in the Majora's Mask DLC pack.

- By using ROM hacking cheats to wear the Giant's Mask inside the Clock Tower, the Happy Mask Salesman will comment "That truly is a rare mask..."[4]
