Majora's Mask Miscellaneous Glitches - Remote Horse

MM[misc]

Compatible Versions ? Original 3DS JPN USA PAL GCN 1.0 1.1

Details Discovered: Unknown Verified: No

Requirements

• Blast Mask or Bombs.
• Fairy in a bottle.
• Your health down to 1/4 of a heart so one hit will kill you.

Instructions

1. Call Epona and position yourself so the action icon says 'Climb'.
2. Equip your Blast Mask and press B to detonate it.
3. Almost immediately after pressing B, pause the game and get a good look at the explosion before the menu comes up.
   • If you only see a bright yellow flash around Link, you paused the game a bit too soon. Hold out your shield as you unpause to prevent the explosion from killing you, then just wait for your mask to regenerate and try again.
   • If you see a bright yellow flash and a pink smoke effect around Link, you paused too late and have to retry by reducing your hearts to 1/4 again.
   • If you only see a bright yellow flash and small pieces of black debris around Link, you paused at the right time.
4. Unpause the game and tap the A button as quickly as you can.

Result

If you did it right Link will get killed by the explosion like normal but he'll drop to the ground facing in the direction Epona is facing instead of facing across her. As you're revived by the fairy you should see the bow on B. Now you can control Epona while not being mounted on her. This glitch produces the same effect as Midair Link with the Any Item Epona glitch, except Link will not be floating in mid-air and the camera will focus on Link instead of Epona.

Notes

• Pausing isn't necessary to pull off this glitch, you can simply press 'A' at just the right time when detonating your mask, but for beginners it is easier to use the above method.
• This glitch also works in Ocarina of Time but it is more difficult to pull off as you have to use a normal bomb and time your pause perfectly right when the bomb explodes.
• If you go to the Zora game site in the second part of Great Bay and perform the glitch by one of the pots so the explosion will also break the pot, the conversation with the Zora will trigger right after getting revived. Get rid of the message box and Link will be back on Epona floating a few feet above her.
