The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask/Prologue

During the first three day cycle, you will find yourself trapped as Deku Link, without an Ocarina, and unable to leave Clock Town. You cannot reclaim your Ocarina until the end of the 72 hours, so make the best use of this time by collecting as many rupees and items as possible.

Clock Town is divided into four main areas: North, South, East, and West Clock Town. After emerging from the Clock Tower (in South Clock Town), go straight and up the ramp on the right to enter the Laundry Pool. Skip across the water to collect the Stray Fairy floating above.

Return the Stray Fairy to the Great Fairy in North Clock Town. She will grant you the ability to use magic and shoot bubbles from your Deku snout. Exit the Great Fairy's Fountain and use this ability to pop the floating red balloon. Tingle the mapmaker will offer to sell you a map of Clock Town for 5 rupees--buy it.

Now use your bubbles to pop the nearby blue balloon. Jim, the leader of the Bombers Gang, will confront you, and challenge you to a game of hide and seek. You must find all five Bombers before sunrise. In North Clock Town, one is behind a tree near the exit to South Clock Town, and the other is hiding near the slide. Two others are in East Clock Town. Find one near the Mayor's Residence, and the other on a roof near the Stock Pot Inn. Use the nearby Deku Flower to reach him. The final Bomber is easily found in West Clock Town. For you efforts, you will be rewarded with the password to the Astral Observatory; tell it to the Bomber guarding the alley in East Clock Town to enter the hideout.

Traverse this simple area until you come to the Observatory. Look through the telescope at the top of the Clock Tower. You will see Skull Kid and watch as a Moon's Tear lands outside. Collect it and return to South Clock Town. Approach the gold Deku Flower near the Clock Tower; a Deku Business Scrub will appear. Trade him the Moon's Tear for a Land Title Deed. Use the flower to reach the Clock Tower platform and claim the Heart Piece.

You must now wait until midnight of the Third Day to access the top of the Clock Tower and confront Skull Kid. In the meantime, collect as many rupees as possible and deposit them at the bank in West Clock Town. Also, go to the Stock Pot Inn near midnight and locate the first floor bathroom. A hand should appear; give it the Land Title Deed for a Heart Piece.

At midnight of the Third Day, enter the newly opened Clock Tower door. Shoot Skull Kid with a bubble to make him drop the Ocarina of Time. Reclaim it and play the Song of Time to save your game and return to the dawn of the First Day.
