  +
===Wasteland Tower===
All three minigames involve hitting the targets around the platform in the given time before the music Honey and Darling dances to finishes. The timed games take place on a rotating and raising platform, making the aiming necessary in these games difficult. If Link falls off the platform, the game is over. As with other minigames in ''Majora's Mask'', Link is given infinite ammunition for all three of the minigames.

In Target Shooting, Link must shoot the targets on the wall with either a [[Bow]] or with [[Deku Link]]'s bubbles.<ref>{{Cite|But it looks like he can shoot bubbles, so let's let him play, Darling.|Honey|MM}}</ref> There are fewer targets when playing as Deku Link, to make up for bubbles' slow firing and travel speed.

He...He got a perfect score three days in a row. This is all we have left to give him, Honey.|Darling|MM}}</ref> In {{MM3D}}, Link receives [[Fishing Hole Pass]]es instead of Purple Rupees.

{{Main|Rutimala Hill}}
*If Link hits Honey & Darling during any of the minigames, they will tell him to stop and exclaim how much it hurts.<ref>{{Cite|That hurts!|Honey & Darling|MM}}</ref> While they do this, the timer is temporarily paused. By repeatedly alternating between hitting them and hitting targets, Link can complete the minigame with many seconds remaining.
