The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask: how to unlock
Short requirements for important upgrades and sidequest tools.
Gilded Sword
On the First Day, thaw the smithy’s hearth with Fire Arrows or Hot Spring Water and pay 100 Rupees for the Razor Sword. Win Gold Dust at the Goron Race. Collect the Razor Sword on the Second Day and hand over the dust; collect the permanent Gilded Sword the following day.
Epona
Use a Powder Keg to clear the boulder blocking Romani Ranch on the First Day. Agree to help Romani and complete her target practice. She teaches Epona’s Song, letting you recover Epona and summon her in areas the horse can reach.
Bombers’ Notebook
In human form, pop Jim’s balloon in North Clock Town and catch all five Bombers before the next morning. Jim gives you the Notebook. You can also enter their hideout using the previously learned code, leave it, and speak to Jim as a human.
Great Fairy’s Sword
Collect all 15 Stray Fairies in Stone Tower Temple during one cycle, then return them to the Great Fairy Fountain in Ikana Canyon. The restored Great Fairy of Kindness rewards you with the Great Fairy’s Sword, equipped as a C-button item.
