Recover the Ocarina of Time from Skull Kid on the first Final Night and play the Song of Time. Back inside the Clock Tower, speak to the Happy Mask Salesman. He teaches the Song of Healing and removes the Deku curse, leaving the Deku Mask so Link can switch forms voluntarily.
Who the song heals
Play it for Darmani at the Goron Graveyard to obtain the Goron Mask, for Mikau after bringing him ashore on Great Bay Coast to obtain the Zora Mask, for Kamaro on his nighttime Termina Field mushroom rock, and for Pamela’s father inside the Music Box House to receive the Gibdo Mask. The Bremen Mask is different: listen to Guru-Guru’s confession at the Laundry Pool. Several guide texts add a Song of Healing instruction there, while Zelda Universe and Thonky describe the reward after the conversation alone; it should not be listed as a required healing transformation.
Music and other songs
The melody is associated with grief and the transformation masks. University of California Press’s music analysis discusses its use in fan adaptations and its connection to taking on another character’s form. The soundtrack guide covers album editions. For the three songs that move or slow time, see time mechanics; the Song of Healing does not reset the cycle.
Questions
What are the N64 buttons?
C-left, C-right, C-down, repeated once: six presses in all.
Who teaches the song?
The Happy Mask Salesman after the first Song of Time reset.
Does it give the Bremen Mask?
Guru-Guru gives that mask after his nighttime confession. Public guides differ on whether a Healing instruction belongs there; the linked mask guide preserves that difference.
