Clock Town and the first cycle
Begin with the first Deku cycle: restore the Great Fairy, learn the Bombers code, trade the Moon’s Tear, recover the Ocarina and reset time. Then become human and prepare for the swamp.
1. Reach Clock Town as Deku Link
Follow Tatl through the Deku Flower rooms, using each flower to cross the gaps. Meet the Happy Mask Salesman inside the Clock Tower, then leave into South Clock Town. This first cycle begins before you own the Ocarina and is devoted to getting it back.
2. Restore the Great Fairy
Collect the lone Stray Fairy in the Laundry Pool by day or East Clock Town at night. Bring it to the fountain in North Clock Town. As Deku Link you receive magic and the bubble attack; return in human form after the reset for the Great Fairy’s Mask.
3. Learn your Bombers code
Burst Jim’s balloon in North Clock Town with a bubble, then accept hide-and-seek and catch all five children before the deadline. Write down the code shown in your own file: it is not a universal five-digit solution. Give it to the guard in East Clock Town.
4. Fetch the Moon’s Tear
Cross the hideout tunnel, using a bubble against the Skulltula’s exposed underside. At the Astral Observatory, use the telescope and zoom in on Skull Kid atop the Clock Tower. Leave through the nearby door and collect the fallen Moon’s Tear.
5. Trade for the town flower
Return to South Clock Town and give the Moon’s Tear to the Business Scrub. He leaves you the Land Title Deed and use of his Deku Flower. Launch onto the Clock Tower ledge; collect the Piece of Heart and remember this route to the tower door.
6. Wait for the Final Night
Deposit spare rupees at the bank before the reset. The clock door opens at midnight on the Final Night. You can pass time with the Scarecrow, but stop skipping once the Final Night begins so you can reach the flower and tower in time.
7. Recover the Ocarina and reset
At midnight, climb the tower and target Skull Kid with a charged bubble. Pick up the Ocarina he drops, recall the Song of Time, and play it before the remaining time expires. This encounter is an item recovery, not the final Majora boss fight.
8. Become human and prepare for the swamp
Speak to the Happy Mask Salesman and learn the Song of Healing to receive the Deku Mask. N64/NSO: leave the Bombers’ Hideout as human Link for the Notebook. 3DS: the Salesman gives it here. Gather supplies, activate an owl statue, and leave through the south gate when ready.

How do I get the notebook?
N64/NSO: leave the hideout as human Link after learning the code. 3DS: receive it from the Happy Mask Salesman after the Song of Healing.
