Side quests outside the temples
Temples move the moon. Side quests fill the Bombers' Notebook, the mask inventory, and the bottles you will wish you had in Ikana.
1. Choose a cycle goal
Start with the Notebook and identify whether this cycle is for a temple, the ranch or Anju and Kafei. Bank rupees before using the Song of Time. Masks and major equipment persist, while appointments and many consumable supplies reset.
2. Split the Sakon outcomes
For the Blast Mask, protect the Bomb Shop Lady in North Clock Town around midnight on Night 1. For Anju and Kafei, let Sakon leave so his later schedule proceeds. Save the old woman and complete the long wedding chain on separate cycles.
3. Take the short Clock Town masks
Visit Guru-Guru in the Laundry Pool on Night 1 or 2 for the Bremen Mask. Play the Song of Healing for Kamaro in Termina Field between midnight and dawn, then teach his dance to the Rosa Sisters using Kamaro’s Mask for their Piece of Heart.
4. Turn the Bremen Mask into the Bunny Hood
Visit Grog at the ranch Cucco Shack in the daytime. Wear the Bremen Mask and keep marching until all ten chicks follow and grow into Cuccos; finish the conversation for the Bunny Hood. Final Day access avoids needing a Powder Keg for the Milk Road boulder.
5. Run Romani and Cremia’s route
Use a Powder Keg to open Milk Road on Day 1, train with Romani and learn Epona’s Song. Return for the early-morning ranch defense. After success, meet Cremia on Day 2 at 18:00 and protect the milk wagon for Romani’s Mask.
6. Upgrade the sword during spring
After clearing Snowhead, begin a fresh cycle and restore spring. Arrange the Razor Sword upgrade early, win Gold Dust at the Goron Race and supply it to the smith in time for the Gilded Sword before the cycle ends. The Gilded Sword persists after a reset.
7. Reserve a full cycle for Anju and Kafei
Get Kafei’s Mask, arrange Anju’s kitchen meeting and mail her letter. On Day 2 meet Kafei and deliver his Pendant of Memories; on Final Day follow the hideout and reunion sequence. Use the dedicated timed route for intermediate deadlines and the Special Delivery reward fork.
8. Spend earned masks on heart rewards
Wear the Couple’s Mask at the mayor’s meeting, the Postman’s Hat at a mailbox and the All-Night Mask for the grandmother’s two stories. These are follow-up rewards rather than new temple requirements. Track them in the 52-piece checklist and return for the frog choir after obtaining Don Gero’s Mask.

Questions
What should I do first?
The notebook and the three transformation masks. They unlock the other errands.
Can I finish every quest in one cycle?
No. The Sakon fork and the three-day clock mean at least two resets.
Where are the heart pieces from side quests?
They are numbered on the heart-piece page, including the mailbox, the grandmother, and the mayor.
