Mask

Blast Mask

Wait in North Clock Town around midnight on the First Night. Sakon attempts to steal the Bomb Shop owner’s mother’s bag. Interrupt him with a sword strike and recover the bag; she gives the Blast Mask as thanks. Avoid shooting or detonating the bag, since destroying it does not produce the rescue reward.

Wait in North Clock Town around midnight on the First Night. Sakon attempts to steal the Bomb Shop owner’s mother’s bag. Interrupt him with a sword strike and recover the bag; she gives the Blast Mask as thanks. Avoid shooting or detonating the bag, since destroying it does not produce the rescue reward.

Complete the interaction

Equip the mask and use its action to detonate an explosion around Link. It can damage enemies and break bomb-sensitive obstacles without spending a carried bomb, but the blast can also hurt Link. Raising the shield while using it prevents the usual self-damage in the ordinary shielded setup. Allow the mask’s recovery period before expecting another detonation.

Use and rewards

Protecting the old woman also affects the Bomb Shop and Curiosity Shop inventory route, making this an early step toward upgrades and the All-Night Mask. It is not compatible with every other timed errand. In particular, the full Anju and Kafei chain needs Sakon to continue the stolen-goods schedule, so reserve the Blast Mask rescue for a different cycle.

Route and edition notes

The mask remains obtained after a reset even though the First Night event can repeat. That lets you separate rescue, wedding and shopping objectives instead of forcing all rewards into one loop. As an ordinary mask it also joins the twenty-mask collection for the Moon Children. Its explosion is useful equipment, but it does not replace a Powder Keg where the game specifically requires the larger explosive. Use the Goron Powder Keg route for the ranch boulder.
