Ancient Fish: What fish you can catch while fishing in Majora’s Mask for the 3DS depends on a lot of factors. The fishing hole you chose, the time of day you are fishing, the day of the week you are fishing, the lure you are using, where in the fishing hole you cast, the mask Link is wearing, and the song Link may have played all impact what Link will catch on any given attempt. 

There is some rhyme or reason for what nets Link specific fish. To increase your chance of catching the ancient fish, cast off near the cave entrance in the north section of the swamp fishing hole while wearing the gibdo mask.

Up until this year, the only evidence that this fish had ever existed was in fossils dating back millions of years. That all changed when a local fisher snagged one of these living fossils on a family boating trip. Ever since that remarkable catch, theories have been proposed to explain the fish’s sudden appearance that includes cryogenically preserved fish waking up due to melting glaciers, subterranean oceans deep inside the world's crust, and rifts in time.

Mystery Milk: In the rerelease of Majora’s Mask for the 3DS Link is tasked with fetching mystery milk and delivering it within 2 minutes of playtime. If Link is successful, he is rewarded with the empty bottle used to transport the milk. If Link takes too long, the mystery milk cuddles and becomes moldy milk and Link is only rewarded with a foul bottle of rot. 

According to the bartender at the Curdled Calf, the dust-covered bottle of milk above the bar is supposedly the hallowed milk from the Earth Mother’s very own breast. Consuming the milk grants the drinker godlike powers. Unfortunately, the bottle is magically sealed, and no one has even loosened the lid after years of attempts.

Fish: While traveling Termina, Link can find small colorful fish swimming around in shallow pools of water. Using a bottle to snatch one up, he can then feed the small fish to one of two fish in the Marine Research Laboratory. If he feeds one fish enough fish, it becomes large enough to eat the other fish and Link will be rewarded with a Piece of Heart.

These bottled fish are separate from the ones that Link can catch at the two fishing holes in Termina.

Surrounding the isle of Talo San Diea is a horseshoe-shaped coral reef that is a wonder of natural beauty as well as acting as a natural breakwater for the island. The reef boasts a prodigious variety of sea life, including no less than three species of vibrantly colored jester fish. The jester fish make their home in stinging anemones so catching on is a rare opportunity for the fish collectors that ply the reef.

Poe Soul: Found in the lamps dropped by defeated Poes, Poe Souls in Majora’s Mask work the same way as they did in Ocarina of Time. If Link consumes the soul, he is either healed a variable amount of hearts or Link’s health is depleted to half a heart. 

I tried to draw Gastly and Haunter as the Poe Soul and Big Poe Soul. I love how the Ghastly drawing came out, but I am far less fond of the Haunter drawing. Can’t all be perfect.

Spirits of the recently deceased are not uncommon sights in graveyards in the days following funerals. If funerary rites are completed properly, spirits should pass naturally from the mortal plane into the lands beyond. Either due to insufficient rites or unfinished business, some spirits are unable to leave the mortal world and begin to fester in their liminal existence.

Fairy: A classic item in Legend of Zelda games, Fairies restore Link to full health when used and are automatically released when Link loses his final heart. Fairies can be purchased or found in Link’s adventures and are stored in an empty jar. An interesting note on the fairies in Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask is that they were intended to be small humanoids with wings similar to common close up depictions of Tinker Bell. The graphical demands were too high for that depiction, so the designers went with the glowing orb with wings depiction. The humanoid body is intended to be within the glowing orb. 

Druids cannot always live in perfect harmony with all the spirits of nature. Some sprites are too contrary to live in harmony with anyone. Such is the case for this troublesome fairy that caused the warden too much trouble with their ceaseless pranks and no must bide their time in a bottle until the warden feels merciful.
