The Dawn of A New Day, sometimes called the Fourth Day, is a day in Majora's Mask, the events of which are shown during the ending credits. This extra day is also accessible for gameplay using a Glitch.

As the Ending Credits

During the Dawn of A New Day, several characters who you have helped in the past get some much needed closure. The first event showcased is that of the Skull Kid, now free of the power of Majora's Mask, reconciling himself to the Four Giants. During this scene, the Skull Kid also befriends Link, and the Happy Mask Salesman recovers Majora's Mask. After bidding Link farewell, the Happy Mask Salesman enigmatically vanishes.

The following is a list of events as they occur chronologically during the Ending Credits of Majora's Mask.

  • A boat of four Gerudo Pirates are seen seafaring on the waters of Great Bay near the Marine Research Laboratory under a rainbow adorned sky. The captain of the skiff is point fowards during their first pass by the screen but, humorously, is pointing backwards during their second pass. The other pirates are shown patrolling their fortress as usual.
  • The disembodied, ghostly heads of the King's bodyguards and Igos du Ikana are seen in the throneroom of Ikana Castle, arguing and singing, respectively.
  • The five Great Fairies of Termina are shown floating together in their complete forms.
  • Romani and Cremia are shown at their ranch. Romani practices shooting her bow, popping three ghost-shaped balloons, earning much praise from her older sister, and she triumphantly runs a hand through her hair.
  • The Bomb Shop Owner and his mommy are seen embracing in West Clock Town in front of their shop.
  • Grog is seen with his gaggle of roosters.
  • Pamela runs into the arms of her father outside of their Music Box house, rejoicing in a Gibdo-free Ikana, though the river is dry.
  • The Deku Butler is seen kneeling before the bizzare withered tree beneath the Clock Tower, quivering. Many believe this tree may in fact be his missing son.
  • Finally, Link is shown riding away on Epona through the foggy woods where he first encountered the Skull Kid. Upon a stump sitting under a ring of light is a primative drawing of Link, the Skull Kid, Tatl and Tael, and in the background the Four Giants, waving. Saria's Song is briefly heard after a few moments.


As a Playable Day

To call the playable New Day the "Fourth Day" would be inaccurate, because every Dawn following the glitch's activation is called "A New Day". Much of Termina remains the same, but there are a few outstanding differences.

  • There is no clock on the bottom of the screen.
  • The Moon is now barely visible, all but a dot high up in the sky.
  • Clock Town is mostly emptied, with only a few residents remaining.
  • The small tower being built directly across from the Clock Tower is missing.
  • Every time dusk falls, the small heading area that would normally say "Night of the [X] Day" is blank.
  • If you haven't already played the cutscene to get the Moon's Tear from the Astral Observatory, you can do so now. The Skull Kid appears to be calling the moon down, but it is not in sight. The tear falls from very far away, outside of the Telescope's view.
  • If you save at an Owl Statue, the area under the time on the File screen that usually shows the Day instead shows the sprite for collected Pieces of Heart.
