Prologue
This is the walkthrough for the Prologue to The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.
As we start off our journey, Link is seen in the Lost Woods along with Epona looking for a precious friend from whom he parted ways for unexplained reasons after the events of Ocarina of Time.
As Link looks for Navi, Skull kid uses the help of his two fairy companions to scare Epona, making Link fall off of her knocking him unconscious in the process. Skull kid then takes action and checks Link's belongings where he finds the Ocarina of Time, he then proceeds to steal it.
Link then will wake up and try to catch Skull kid but as it is to expect, he fails and Skull kid mounts Epona while Link grabs on to his leg. Link is then being dragged across the forest until you reach a certain point where Skull kids breaks free of our hero's grip leaving him behind.
After Skull kid rides away on Epona, you will gain control of Link. Slash the small bushes that are nearby to get your first rupees in the game, rupees are very importan in this game so slashing bushes is highly recommended just like in any other Zelda.
After you're done satisfying your needs, continue forward through the tunnel, and jump across the tree trunks to enter the weird mushroom building.
Once inside, Link will fall down a deep hole where he will come face to face with Skull Kid, as you may notice Epona is no longer with him. You can now enjoy this cutscene of Link being transformed into a Deku Scrub.
After the cutscene you can use this small area to get used to controlling Link as a Deku, but as soon as you slash through the bushes they will begin to move for some strange reason. Open the large door and run to the end of the hall, where you will be introduced to your Fairy companion for this game, Tatl. After you two team up, she will explain how Link (as the Deku) can use the flowers that are on the ground to glide across large gaps.
Glide over to the door on the other side of the room, and enter it to access a large canyon with many platforms. Dive into the first flower and glide over to the platform in front of you. Once there, use the flower to get to the platform to your left, where you will find a treasure chest containing a Deku Nut. You can use these to toss on enemies below while you fly through the air.
After collecting that, turn around until you can see a platform peeking out from behind a large pillar. Use the flower to launch yourself into the air, and fly around the pillar to land on the platform. Then use that flower to once again fly into the air, around the two pillars in front of you, and onto the small rectangular platform where Tatl will tell you about the Z/L-Targeting. Notice the little Deku standing by the exit, unfortunately this little guy is dead, keep him in your mind as you may find out who this little Deku is. From there, you can easily access the exit.
When Link passes through the weird twisting room, he will find himself in a slim-covered area with a large water wheel. Run up the stairs to the left and you will come to a small room with a door. As you approach that door, the owner of the Happy Mask Shop will speak to Link. He will say that he has been following you, and that if you get the precious item (Ocarina) back, he will be able to turn Link into his normal self again. After you are done talking to him exit through the door to access Clock Town.
