Atlas
Walkthrough
Play the three days in this order: learn the clock in Clock Town, clear Woodfall, Snowhead, Great Bay, and Stone Tower, then climb the Clock Tower on the Final Night.
Start the Clock Town chapter with the opening Deku cycle: recover the Ocarina of Time, learn the Song of Time, and take the Deku Mask. The four temples hand you the Hero's Bow in Woodfall, Fire Arrows in Snowhead, Ice Arrows in Great Bay, and the Light Arrows plus the Giant's Mask in Stone Tower.
Two versions share this atlas. The N64 original, including Switch Online, and the 2015 3DS remake differ in saves, boss fights, bottle rewards, the Stone Mask's hiding place, the Keaton quiz hour, and how you receive the Giant's Mask. Each chapter identifies edition differences. Collectible totals that both guides agree on: 24 masks, 52 Pieces of Heart, 61 Stray Fairies, and 20 original N64 Bombers’ Notebook entries; the 3DS notebook expands its event tracking.
- Clock Town — bank, first masks, one fairy, heart pieces in town.
- Southern Swamp — Deku Palace and Woodfall.
- Mountain Village — Goron Mask and Snowhead.
- Great Bay — Zora Mask and the pirates.
- Ikana Canyon — well, castle, Elegy of Emptiness.
- The Moon — Oath to Order and Majora's three forms.
- Side quests — the errands that are not a temple.
- Stone Tower — the inverted temple, on its own page.
Questions
Which version does this follow?
Both. The steps are the shared route. A sentence that is only true on one version says N64 or 3DS.
Where are the masks?
The full table is on the mask page. Chapters name the masks you pick up on that route.
How long is one cycle?
About 54 real minutes for 72 in-game hours, unless you play the Inverted Song of Time.
