This cache is part of the Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask series! The Legend of Zelda is, by many accounts, the most popular and beloved video game franchise of all time. Many of its entries have revolutionized the way people create and experience video games, with some particularly noteworthy examples being Ocarina of Time, Link to the Past, Breath of the Wild, and of course the 1986 classic that started it all.
While Ocarina of Time is considered by many to be the best video game of all time, Majora’s Mask, its immediate successor, gets comparatively less attention. Some of this is understandable: Nintendo rushed the game out only one year after the groundbreaking Ocarina of Time and recycled many of the character models and items from this game to make Majora’s Mask, leading some to think of it as little more than an appendix is a much more famous title. Yet Majora’s Mask departed from the Zelda formula in so many ways and had so many innovations of its own that it is undoubtedly worth a look.
The two most drastic differences between Majora’s Mask and Ocarina of Time are the ways in which they be contrasted thematically and structurally. Ocarina of Time is the prototypical adventure game: you start the game as a small child, answer the call of the Great Deku Tree to save the land of Hyrule, gradually hone your skills and increase your weaponry until you are able to defeat Ganon himself. It features wide open field filled with quirky and lovable characters, from the dimwitted but earnest Gorons, to the good-natured but narcoleptic Talon, to the feisty (if petulant) Princess Ruto. Majora’s Mask, by contrast, is a creepy carnival of horrors, in many ways. You are greeted in the opening moments of the game by a malevolent being who possesses a child, curses you into the form of a monster, then turns the very moon into a demonic creature intent on destroying the world of Termina within three days. Where Ganon sought to conquer, Majora just wants to destroy.
Despite how unnerving the game can be at times, it integrates you into the lives of its characters in a way that few other games have: if you choose, you can help two lovers reunite for their wedding, lift the curse on a young girl’s father who has been turned into a monster, play a lullaby for a young child whose father is lost in the snow, and help out two sisters whose ranch has been ravaged by both jealous neighbors and invaders from another world. The stories you experience will stick with you for years to come!
I hope you’ll take the time to solve the puzzles and find the caches in this series, and maybe even try the classic video game for yourself! As for the cache series, there are six standalone mystery caches, each loosely based on the events of the game and the Zelda series in general, and one final cache. Each cache has a clue (trust me, you will need ALL SIX to locate the final), and three of them have an additional hint to help you figure out how to get the final coordinates from the clues. Good luck!
The six standalone caches in this series are as follows:
LoZ:MMs - The Gerudo Thieves
LoZ:MMs - The Music Box House
LoZ:MMs - All Keys Great and Small
LoZ:MMs - The Art of Dungeon Diving
LoZ:MMs - Honey and Darling's Shop
LoZ:MMs - The Missing Triforce
At last! You have freed the four giants and are ready to take the fight to Majora! Great job getting this far!
The moon is one of the primary antagonists of Majora's Mask, and one of the creepiest antagonists in all of video games-- I mean, come on, LOOK at that thing. Once Link completes the game's four main dungeons, he is able to teleport to the moon and battle Majora. He will need all of the skills he has gathered so far to best the evil mask. In some Zelda games, he may even have to revisit areas he has already cleared to pick up an item or powerup that he missed before facing off with the game's final boss.
If there are still a few standalone caches in the series that you haven't solved yet, you should complete them before attempting this cache. I promise you, nothing on this page will help with any other caches in the series.
If you have found all previous six caches, and gathered all six clues, then all I have to offer you is encouragement. Don't give up now! You have already defeated six puzzles, gathered as many clues, and located three hints. Don't let the remainder of this puzzle series keep you from your reward! Good luck!
What, you want ANOTHER hint? Well, IF you have all six clues and IF you have all three hints and IF you have interpreted them all correctly and IF you are trying to perform the required mathematical manipulations and STILL you are having trouble, maybe the following words of wisdom from famous mathematician Leopold Kronecker will be of assistance to you:
"God made the integers; all else is the work of man."
If you're going to be doing math, maybe you should do it the way God intended?
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
