Chapter
The Moon walkthrough: trials and Majora
On the Final Night, play the Oath to Order on the Clock Tower. The Giants stop the Moon. Majora leaves Skull Kid, and Link follows the mask inside.
1. Prepare the final cycle
Carry the four boss remains and Oath to Order. Bring health, arrows and magic; collect all twenty ordinary masks first if you want the optional Fierce Deity reward. The trials are not required simply to beat the game.
2. Play the Oath at midnight
Reach the Clock Tower roof after midnight on the Final Night. Play the Oath to Order to summon the Giants. Majora’s Mask abandons Skull Kid and enters the Moon; follow it into the field around the large tree.
3. Clear the Odolwa child’s trial
Give the running Odolwa child one ordinary mask to enter. Use the Deku Flowers to cross the moving platforms and take the trial’s Piece of Heart. Pay the second mask on leaving; this child’s total is two masks.
4. Clear the Goht child’s trial
Pay two masks to enter and use Goron rolling along the narrow course. Keep a straight approach to the chest bounces and refill magic from the pots. Collect the Piece of Heart and pay two more masks on leaving: four total.
5. Clear the Gyorg child’s trial
Pay three masks and enter as Zora Link. Explore the branching water tunnels for the Piece of Heart and the child’s exit. Pay three more masks to leave: six total. Swimming controls differ in 3DS, so conserve magic for fast swimming.
6. Clear the Twinmold child’s trial
Pay four masks for the human-Link combat route. Defeat the mini-bosses, use the supplied arrows and Bombchus for the cracked-wall and ceiling puzzles and collect the Piece of Heart. Pay four more masks to leave: eight total.
7. Claim the optional final mask
After the four trials and all twenty ordinary masks have been given away, speak to the child under the tree wearing Majora’s Mask. Receive the Fierce Deity’s Mask, then agree to play to start the final battle. Your three regional transformation masks are not part of the payment.
8. Defeat Majora’s three forms
Strike Majora’s Mask from behind; when the remains join the fight, clear them or use their beam against the mask. Stun the running Incarnation with arrows and follow with sword hits. Against Wrath, stun with arrows when an opening appears and attack while it is down. Fierce Deity’s sword beams make all three phases easier, but the mask is optional.

After midnight on the Final Day, with the Oath to Order and the four boss remains.
