Control Stick Function
The Nintendo 64 Control Stick uses an analog system to read the angles 
and directions of its movement. This allows precision control that is 
not possible using the conventional + Control Pad. 

When turning the Control Deck power ON, do not move the Control Stick 
from its neutral position on the controller. 

If the Control is held at an angled position (as shown in the picture on 
the left) when the power is turned ON, this position will be set as 
neutral. This will cause games using the Control Stick to operate incorrectly. 

To reset the neutral position once the game has started, let go of the 
Control Stick so it can return to its center position (as shown in the 
picture on the left) then press START while holding down the L and R Buttons. 

2

Holding the Nintendo 64 Controller

While playing the Zelda: Majora's Mask game, we recommend you use the 
hand positions shown on the left. By holding the controller like this, you 
can operate the Control Stick freely with your left thumb. Using your 
right thumb, you can easily access the A, B, C, Buttons. 

Connecting the Nintendo 64 Controller
Only one player can play this game. Connect the controller to the appropriate
controller socket on the front of the Control Deck. Beginning on the left, the
sockets are for Player 1, Player 2, Player 3, and Player 4. You cannot start 
the game if the first controller socket is empty. 

If you change the connection during the game, you will need to either press
RESET or turn the power OFF to make the connection active. 


N64 Rumble Pak
This game is compatible with the Rumble Pak accessory. Before using it, be
sure to read the Rumble Pak accessory instruction booklet carefully. Make
sure that the Control Deck is OFF when inserting or removing the Rumble Pak
accessory.

In the land of Hyrule,
there echoes a legend. A legend held
dearly by the Royal Family that
tells of a boy...

A boy who,
after battling evil and saving
Hyrule, crept away from that land
that had made him a legend...

Done with the battles he once
Waged across time, he embarked
on a journey. A secret and
personal journey...

A journey in search of a
beloved and invaluable friend...

A friend with whom he parted
ways when he finally fulfilled his
heroic destiny and took his place
among legends...

Link
-----------------

Skull Kid
------------------
Wearing a mystical mask, he appeared suddenly before Link. Hidden within
that mask was tremendous power - a power that not even he understood.

N64 EXPANSION PAK

Is your N64 Expansion Pak inserted properly? The Legend of Zelda: Majora's
Mask REQUIRES the N64 Expansion Pak. Please refer to the Nintendo 64
Expansion Pak Instruction Booklet regarding inserting and caring for your 
N64 Expansion Pak.

Welcome to Termina

This is a kind of parallel world that is similar to and yet different from the
land of Hyrule, which was the setting for the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of 
Time. Termina is a mysterious place, and the people Link meets here may 
look vaguely familiar at first glance. 

Clock Town rests at the heart of this world. Heading any direction from 
there will take you to the mysterious regions beyond. The centerpiece of
Clock Town is the clock tower. It is the symbol of the town and the center of
activity, as the towns folk are busy with preparations for the annual 
carnival, despite rumors that rumors that the moon will fall from the 
heavens in just three days. 


Tatl
------------------
A slightly overbearing fairy, Tatl is always thinking of her younger brother.
She will be the companion that Link will often find himself relying on in 
this adventure. 


Epona
------------------
The faithful, young horse that has journeyed with Link throughout his
adventures is taken by the Skull Kid. Will Link and Epona ever meet again? 


6

The Deku Tribe
------------------
The Dekus live primarily in a palace surrounded by the waters that flow 
from Woodfall. Their King is terribly stubborn and will not permit people 
of other tribes to enter his palace. 


The Goron Tribe
------------------
The Gorons live in the small shrine east of Snowhhead and its steep
mountainous peaks. Though used to harsh weather, the Gorons are in the 
grips of an unusually fierce cold snap. 


The Zora Tribe
------------------
Since this tribe lives in the water, they are particularly sensitive to
environmental changes. The songs of the Zora band, The Indigo-gos, are
popular with people of all races. 

7

Starting the Game

Properly insert The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask Game Pak into your N64
Control Deck and turn the power ON. (Do not touch the Control Stick while
doing so.) Press START on the Title Screen to access the File Selection
Screen. Use the Control Stick to select one of the two files and press the A
Button to continue to the Name Entry Screen. 

THE DATA FILES-------------------------------- 

You can save your game progress to one of two data files. These save the
items you have gotten, the number of Heart Containers you have and the 
notes you've written in your Bomber's Notebook. See page 10 regarding saving. 


Name Entry

You can enter a name up to 8 letters long. Use the Control Stick to select a
letter, then press the A Button to enter it. Select the back arrow and press
the A Button to delete a letter. When finished, select END and press the A Button. 


Copying and Deleting Files

To copy a file, select Copy on the File Selection Screen and press the A
Button, then select the file you'd like to copy and press the A Button again.
Next, Select the file you'd like to copy the first one to. If there is no empty
file at this time, you will not be able to copy the file you've chosen. You can
also choose Erase on the File Selection Screen to Erase a file. Once you erase
a files, its data will be lost and cannot be recovered, so be careful.

Options

Sound
Chose one of the following sound settings: Stereo, Mono, Headset or Surround.
When choosing Stereo, Headset or Surround, check to be sure that both the 
left and right audio output cables are properly connected to your TV. 

Headset
Use Headphones for more natural sound.

Surround
The Surround setting uses sound effects in the game to create the feeling of 
a 3D environment. You can actually sense distance and direction as you play.
With a Dolby Surround Sound system, you'll feel like you're right in the 
middle of all the action. 


Z-Targeting
Change the Z-Targeting system to Switch or Hold. 

See page 14 about Z-Targeting.

Switch
Press the Z Button once to make the Targeting Cursor appear. Press it again 
to stop targeting. When you first turn the power ON, Z-Targeting is set to this option. 

Hold
Target only while you hold the Z Button. This advanced mode is for those 
who have mastered using the Z-Targeting system. 

Check Brightness----------------------------- If the game screen is 
dark and difficult to see, use the sample provided to adjust your television's
brightness so that four levels of darkness ranging from gray to black are visible. 

After Changing the settings, press the B Button to save your changes.

Saving and the Passage of Time

Time in the Game
Time flows continuously in the game, except during conversations and when
you've paused the game by pressing START. If three days (72) hours pass 
after starting, the game will end, so be careful. However, you can play the
Song of Time on the Ocarina of Time to keep the game from ending. When you
play the song, Link will pass through a time vortex to return to 6:00 a.m. on
the first day. If the game ends, you will have to restart from the last time
you saved using the Song of Time. 

NOTE: Time in the world of Termina flows faster than you might expect. 
The hours seem to go by in mere minutes 


About Saving
When you play the Song of Time, your game progress will be saved as you
travel back in time. However, while items you have gotten are saved, puzzles
within mazes (see page 37) and other events you have cleared will revert to
their original status, so be careful when saving. Since Link is the only one
who travels through time, the other characters in the gam will not remember
meeting him. When you want to save your game and quit playing, play the Song
of Time and wait until "Dawn of the First Day" appears on screen before
turning the power OFF. The next time you play, you can continue your game
from that point. If you turn the power OFF without saving, you will continue
from the last time you saved. You can also temporarily save game progress
using the Interrupt Save feature explained on Page 12. 

WHEN LIFE ENERGY REACHES ZERO
When you take damage and your Life Energy meter runs out, you will be
returned to the entrance of the area where you lost all your Life Energy. At
this time, you will restart with only three hearts, regardless of how many
heart containers you have. 

10



Playing the Song of Time
You will always be returned to 6:00 a.m. of the first day. 

Your game progress (data) will be saved. 

NOTE: There are some things in the game that can be saved and some that
cannot, so timing your saves is very important. 


Things that can be saved:--------------------------------- 

Masks------------------------------------------see page 24 

Instruments, the Hookshot, etc.----------------see page 29 

Songs and Items on the Quest Status Screen-----see page 34 

Notes written in your notebook-----------------see page 35 

Maps-------------------------------------------see page 36 

Dungeon Maps and Compasses---------------------see page 37 

Rupees deposited in the bank------------------------------ 



Things that cannot be saved:------------------------------ 

Cleared maze puzzles, sub-events,
conversations with people you've met, etc. (These all return to their 
original status)----see page 33 

The number of usable items you have------------see page 30 

Small Keys, Big Keys, and Stray Fairies---------see page 37 

The Rupees in your wallet--------------------------------- 



THE OPENING---------

11


Saving and the Passage of Time (cont.)

The Interrupt Save Feature

In addition to playing the Song of Time to save your game, you can also use
the Interrupt Save Feature to interrupt your game, save your current status
and quit playing. Your current status, including all masks, items,
conversations and the time of day will be temporarily saved until the next
time you play. Once you continue that game, though , the saved status will be
lost, so after continuing your quest, be sure to save again using the Song of
Time. If you just turn the power OFF without saving again, you will have to
restart from the last time you saved using the Song of Time. 


12


Saving With the Interrupt Save Feature
-----------------------------------------------------------
To temporarily save status until the next time you play, visit one of the owl
statues. Hit the statue with your sword if you haven't already done so, then
press A to check it. After carefully reading the instructions, choose Yes and
press A to interrupt your gam and save your status. Wait until the Title
Screen appears before turning the power OFF. Otherwise, your data may not 
be saved. 



After saving and quitting, an owl mark will appear beside the save file on 
the File Selection Screen. When you select that file and press the A Button,
the day (First, Second or Final) and time of day that the file was saved will 
be displayed. To continue playing, simply press the A Button again. After
continuing, be sure to save using the Song of Time before you quit. 


13


Tatl and Z-Targeting

Tatl the fairy is your constant companion. She'll teach you the weaknesses 
of your enemies and give you hints to help you through your quest. If Tatl 
hide in the folds of Link's hood, you can call her out by pressing the A Button
while standing still, butt only while Link or Zora Link. 



C-up The Tatl Icon

When Link approaches an object that Tatl can explain, Tatl will fly in the
direction of the object. A targeting mark will then appear above the object. 
If you press the Z Button, Link will face Tatl and the object will be
surrounded by the Targeting Cursor. This is Called Z-Targeting. 

While Z-Targeting, the Tatl Icon in the top-right corner of the of the screen
may blink. Press C-up at this time to listen to Tatl's advice. Tatl will tell 
you about enemy weaknesses and give you hints about your adventure, so be
sure to listen to what she has to say. 



Targeting Cursor
When Z-Targeting is activated, black bands appear at the top and bottom 
of your screen. 

When Z-Targeting, press C-up when the Tatl icon flashes to listen to Tatl's advice. 



NOTE: The Tatl icon may flash when Z-Targeting is not activated, as well.
Since she will give you very important hints at these times, press C-up 
to listen to her. 


14


Using Z-Targeting--------------------------- 

You may find that your adventure progresses more smoothly if you use 
Z-Targeting in the following types of situations, too. (Please see page 23, also.) 

Talking to People From a Distance
Use Z-Targeting to speak to people from a distance. Press A when the 
person is surrounded by the Targeting Cursor.
Aiming-------------------------------------- 
When using shooting devices like the bow, use Z-Targeting to aim 
accurately at your enemy. This is very handy for dealing with 
fast-moving enemies. 


Changing the Camera Position----------------
If you ever find yourself stuck with a poor view during your game, press 
the Z Button. The camera will immediately center behind Link, giving you 
a better look at your surroundings. See page 17 for other camera positions. 


When there is more than one possible target, press Z to switch to the next
target. To deactivate Z-Targeting, face away from your enemies and press 
Z again.

Walk/Run
Tilt the Control Stick in the direction you want to move. 

The speed Link moves at will vary depending on how much you tilt the 
Control Stick. It is best to tilt the Control Stick lightly and walk slowly 
on tricky ledges. If you hold Z while moving, Link can move forward, back, 
left or right while facing forward. 


Jump
Run toward the edge of a ledge.

If you run toward the edge of a low ledge or cliff, you will automatically

When standing in front of a block, press A to grab it. After grabbing a block,
keep holding A and tilt the Control Stick to move the block in that direction. 


Drop
When hanging from the edge of a ladder or ledge, press A to let go and drop 
to the ground. If you move the Control Stick without pressing A, Link will
climb back up the ledge. 



Depending on height, you may be able to use the Control Stick to make 
Link climb some blocks and ledges. Link may or may not be able to climb
certain ledges depending on the mask he is wearing at the time, though. 
You can climb ladders this way, too 


20


Throw, Place
Up + A after grabbing with A

After pressing a C Button to take out a bomb, you can press A to throw the
bomb after titling the Control Stick and running. If you press A while

conversations contain important information, so continue to the next 
message only after first reading every thing someone has to tell you. 

Check
When Link is able to read signs, "Check" will display. 



21


Basic Controller Functions (cont.)

B Button
This button is mostly used to attack.



Swing Vertically

Z + B or Up + B


Swing Horizontally

B or Z + Left + B or Z + Right + B


Stab

Z + Up + B


Spin Attack

Rotate 360 + B or Hold B till sword flashes 


22


Other Battle Actions

Jump Attack

Z + A

The jump attack does twice as much damage as a normal swing, but it 
will take a moment to move again afterwards. 


Back Flip

Z + Down + A

Side Jump

Z + Left or Right + A

Back flips and side jumps allow you to move more quickly than standard
movement. They are very effective for dodging enemy attacks. 


Raising your Shield

R

Normally, Link will crouch as he raises his shield, but he can also move 
with his shield raised when Z-Targeting is activated. You can also change 
the direction Link guards against by tilting the Control Stick while he is
crouched behind his shield. 


Roll Attack

Up + A

Press A while running to perform a roll attack. Rolling can have the same
effect as raising your shield-it protects you and deflect things that come
flying at you. 


Use Z-Targeting in Battles----------------- 

By using Z-Targeting to lock on to your opponents, you will gain a great
advantage in battle. For instance... 

1. You won't lose sight of your enemy.
2. You can keep your enemy at a distance or close in. 3. Your attacks are 
more likely to find their marks. 


23


The Masks

A Variety of masks can be found throughout the game. Several of these 
masks actually have the power to change Link's shape when he wears them. 
As Link's shape changes, he will be given new, unique abilities. 


Viewing the Masks Subscreen

Press START to access the subscreens and open the Masks Subscreen. The
masks can be used in the same way as C Items (see page 28). Move the 
cursor to the mask you want to wear and press C-left, C-down, or C-right 
to set it. 

Normal Masks
Link can wear these masks, but they will not change his form. 

Masks of the Various Tribes
When Link wears one of these masks, the power of that mask is transferred to him. 



Wear the Masks Often

Trying different masks in the different areas of Termina is a key strategy. 
If you find yourself stuck in your quest, it might be a good idea to try to
continue as a different character. 


WHEN WEARING MASKS...
Some people may tell you different things when you speak to them while
wearing different masks. Even people who are always rude may open their
hearts to you when you wear a different mask.

while wearing a particular mask. Items that cannot be used when wearing 
a particular mask are shown in black and white. 

See pages 30-33 About specific items.


28


C Item Introductions
Items shown with a number beside them on the Select Item Subscreen (or on
the C Button icons in the top-right corner of the screen) are ones which have
limited use. You van replenish these items by collecting them when they
appear after you defeat enemies, but each of them has a maximum number you
can carry at once. (The number is shown in green when you have reached the
maximum.) For some items, you may be able to increase the maximum limit. 

The face icons beside an item name indicate when Link can use the items. 

Ocarina of Time	Link, Deku Link, Goron Link, Zora Link
Use this item to play songs you learn throughout your adventure. If you play
them as you were taught, they can cause a side variety of effects. However,
some songs may not have any effect unless played in a particular place or for
a particular person. When Link uses masks to change shape, his instrument
changes shape as well, but the effects of the songs remain the same. 

Check song you have learned at any time on the Quest Status Subscreen.

play a wide range of notes.

Raise notes half an octave

Z
Lower notes half an octave

Hints


This section offers a few hits that should help you in your quest. May your
courage and wisdom once again bring peace to Termina. 


The lives of the Terminians

In the three days before the moon falls, the people of Clock Town and the 
rest of Termina carry on their daily routines. For instance, in preparation 
for the carnival, the carpenters of Clock Town work on the moon-viewing
platform in front of the Clock Tower. As the days go by, the platform grows
taller and taller. As you can see, the people of Clock Town will have 
different actions and activities throughout the three days. (As you watch
them, though, you will see that they will relive actions at the same time 
on the same day that you first saw the actions.) 

Also, there are some stores that only open late at night, and other places 
that will change depending on the time of day. 

You will find that different things can happen at the places you've visited
when you go back on a different day or at a different time. 


Using the Song of Time Wisely


Timing your use of the Song of Time is very important. If you time your 
saves poorly, you will find yourself having to once again solve puzzles 
that you have already cleared. I particular, be sure to check to see how 
much time you have remaining after earning new items. Do your best to 
make the most of each 72-hour period.

The Basic Flow of the Game

enemies that will threaten you with a wide array of powers and attacks.

have some kind of weakness. You must figure out where to aim and what to
attack with.

Hints


The Owl Statues and the Song of Soaring

Throughout the world of Termina you will find mysterious owl statues. 
When you do something to one of these statues, it will change its shape. 

And when you play the Long of Soaring, which you will learn at some point 
in your quest, you will be able to warp where there are Owl Statues. As you
explore the world of Termina, you'll find that the Song of Soaring will allow
you to travel to distant places in a matter of seconds. Owl Statues also allow
you to temporarily save your game. (See page 12.)

mazes and battling enemies. As you journey through the land, you'll get caught
up to completing your quest. These events will draw you deeper into the 
world of Termina and give you a glimpse into the lives of its inhabitants.

Once you receive your Bomber's Notebook, talk to as many people as you can
and keep of their schedules and troubles. Since you can save this information,
use it as a reference to help you decide when, where and how to take action.

when you receive the item an icon will be displayed on each of the 
appropriate bars, showing that you've gotten the item.
