Garo's Mask
The Garo's Mask is an item in Majora's Mask.[1] It a mask that resembles the head of a Garo in Majora's Mask and the head of a Garo Master in Majora's Mask 3D.
Location and Uses
The Mask is given to Link by the Gorman Brothers.[2] To obtain it, he must go to the Gorman Track once he has Epona, and ask to race against them for 10 Rupees.[3] If Link wins, they will award him with the Garo's Mask.[4]
Wearing it allows entry into Ikana Canyon,[5] as well as the ability to encounter and battle Garo Ninjas. If defeated, the Garo Ninja will reward Link with a tip that may help him on his quest.[6]
If a ReDead sees the Mask, it will start dancing, allowing Link to walk past it without being attacked.[7]
