Glitches
As you may have already guessed, in the Glitches section, you will find many glitches that have been found in Majora's Mask. As with every game, testers can't get all the bugs out, so it's up to gamers to discover them, and let everyone know. If messing with games is your thing, then this is the section for you. Know any glitches? If so, then send 'em here. Who knows, it might even get posted!
Gerudo Queen and Glitches Bee
You must have the Stone Mask. First, enter the second part of the fortress and go to where the Gerudo Queen is. Don't go near her with the mask, 'cause she'll say, "Halt! There is a rat with a funny mask in here!". Instead, climb onto one of the two barrels and don't move. Use the hookshot to go on top of the tank with the Zora egg, but not in. From here you can see the Gerudo Queen, and also if you look near the vent where you're supposed to shoot the bee's nest from, you'll see the bee that signifies the nest, but it'll just be there, suspended in air.

Wierd Musical Notes
Get the Zora Mask and go to Zora Hall. Put it on and talk to the guy on the stage fidgeting with the speakers. Put the mask on and he'll tell you to play a note. After you play a note, he'll say he needs to turn the sound up. If you go to Link, Deku, or Goron, your notes should be very loud and sound like a guitar. You may need to fidget around with notes to get it to screw the sound up.

How to Keep Going Further Into the Ocean at Great Bay Coast
Get Ice Arrows and magic. Go to an island that is close to the ocean, then shoot Ice Arrows at the water to create ice blocks. Keep doing this to get really far out in the ocean without the game bringing you back to the coast! You can find the temple which looks a little messed up (the blue glowing thing way out in the ocean). Neat, huh?

Magical Water of Tripping
If you wear the Goron of Zora mask in the water that surrounds the Deku Kingdom (not the poison water in the swamp, but the poison water around the Kingdom), Link will always trip and fall flat on his face in the water. This is kinda strange seeing how if you tried it in the Swamp, all that will happen is you'll get damaged.

Zone of Silence
Also in the Southern Swamp, if you head near the entrance, you'll see 2 palm trees. Facing the tourist center, go to the right and let the Deku Baba near the owl statue come out. When it does, stand between the Deku Baba and the palm tree. There should be some brown patches of dirt (not for beans) near the water. Stand on them and you should hear no music. If you still hear the SS music or the enemy music, try it again on Day 2 when it rains. That's when I did it.

Trapped Epona and Tatl Out of Nowhere!
Now it's pretty easy to get Epona trapped somewhere, somehow. But here's something pretty interesting. Get off and flame the ice that separated the trail from Termina Field. Hop on Epona and continue on. On the way, you'll get to the part where 4 snow boulders blocked your path. Run near them and Tatl will say as she always says, but this is strange 'cause you need to press C Up to hear her, and she almost NEVER talks to you while you're on Epona, and you actually see the Tatl button blinking. This could lead to a new glitch where you can see all C Buttons, but don't count on it. On yeah, getting trapped... Ride Epona to the snow boulder on the right and use carrots to speed up and crap. Sooner or later, Epona will be trapped and you cannot go anywhere while on her. All you can do are 360s, and get off.

Make Mikau Disappear
I don't know if this is just my game, but I have found a really wierd glitch. Before getting the Zora Mask go to Mikau in the water. Push him like you normally would do until you're just next to the shore. If Mikau gets up, you pushed too far. When you have him exactly in place, walk in the water and move to the side of him. The grab command shows up. Press A and pick him up. Here's the wierd part. Walk over to the inside of the beach and throw him. If all goes right, Mikau goes right through the ground! He doesn't come back, so you must play the Song of Time to redo it. Pretty wierd...

Quadruple Speed Link
Though this has no use whatsoever, it may be a bit fun to do. You need to be on the 1st or 2nd day, and you need to have the Romani Mask, Bunny Hat, Zora, Goron, and Deku Masks. Go to the Milk Bar and play the Ballad of the Wind Fish. Run onto the stage and play it again. Somehow, Link's speed doubles. Now put on the Bunny Hood and run at high speed. Unfortunately, this effect wears off when leaving the bar...

Sakon Glitch
Go to Ikana Canyon on the first day and avoid Sakon. Whatever you do, don't talk to him. Go to where the Deku Salesman is and jump off the cliff into the water. Face the way the current came from and turn into Mikau. Now swim into the little cave. If you go straight onto the platform and look for Sakon, he won't be in the spot he was before! Now he's stuck trying to run off the cliff, but can't! You can't talk to him, so don't try to.

Be Fierce Deity Anywhere!
To be Oni Link anywhere, go to Sakon's hideout on Day 3. Put on the Bunny Hood and try to role into the crack on the right side. If you don't hit the wall you should go through it! Make sure that the Fierce Deity's Mask is not a C item. Talk to Kafei to start the quest. When you first play as Kafei, switch the Bunny Hood to the Fierce Deity's Mask, and you'll transform! Finish the quest, fall in the water and go to the right. From there, go anywhere you want! (If you want to go to Clock Town, before doing the steps above, go to the Bombers' Hideout and plant a bean outside the observatory and water it. When you get to Clock Town, don't talk to anybody and don't go in any building or the game will freeze. When you want to leave, go to the Bombers' Hideout and when you're in the hallway, charge your sword and walk through. You should know what to do from there.)

Get Link Stuck
I don't know if this is a legit-glitch, but just outside of town in the battlefield if you find a black bird circling in the air. Play the Sonata of Awakening, and ya ya it will throw out Rupees, etc. Follow it and get the Rupees until you get the last Rupee which is red, then hurry up and pull out your hoookshot and try to hook the bird in the sky just before it leaves and you'll freeze! You'll have to reset the game or you'll be stuck frozen for ever and ever and EVER!! Buahawhahaha.

Fierce Deity's Invisible Ocarina
This is a pain to do, but if you go throught the entire game without learning the Song of Soaring and you do the "Be Fierce Deity Anywhere" glitch you can play an ocarina. Sometime before the 3rd day, kill the Big Octos in Southern Swamp and then go beat the Woodfall Temple--this is necessary so the vines will appear leading to the entrance of Woodfall across from the Deku Palace entrance. Then on the third day, do "Be Fierce Deity Anywhere" glitch and go down the river to Southern Swamp. Climb the vines to the platform by the Waterfall and do a "rolling jump" to reach the platform where the owl is. If you read the tablet, you will be able to learn the Song of Soaring as Fierce Deity Link, and it looks like he is holding an ocarina, but there is no ocarina!

Quick Trip to the Top of Stone Tower
If you are getting to Stone Tower for the first time, you can get to the top quickly. Notice that after you cross the first set of blocks, you use the Elegy of Emptiness to raise them and cross higher up. However, after crossing the first set of blocks the second time, you start using the Elegy of Emptiness to lower the second set of blocks. After lowering the first block of the second set, climb up to that block, stand on it, and play the Elegy of Emptiness in the form that you were in when you stood on the switch to lower it. Once you move your shell from the switch to the block, the
block should raise back to its old spot! From there, you are 2 hookshots from
the top.

Editor's Note:
I know this isn't technically a glitch, but I'm sure this wasn't what the developers intended, and I really didn't have anywhere else to put this.
Get to Ikana Valley Without Ice Arrows
To get across the river to the main part of Ikana canyon, you only need the hookshot. To do this, first shoot the Octoroks in the middle. Then move left to the very edge of the river and continue left until only the bottom left tip of the stump (the same stump that you hook to cross the river when you use ice arrows) is in sight. To hit it, you should aim just barely right of the wall. If you are in the right spot, the hookshot will just reach!

Water Keeps Spinning
In Great Bay Temple, have you ever wondered what was happening in the room with the big waterwheel when either both or none of the plumes in the first room are on? Well, after turning all the switches through the one in the room behind the waterfall on the first level, go back to the room where you use the hookshot to reach the switch that turns on/off the righthand plume (that is, the first room you enter when you begin the temple) Now both plumes should be on, and the waterwheel will stop. Then turn into Goron Link and fall into the water! The game will take you back to the room with the entrance blocked by the waterfall. It turns out that even though the waterwheel has stopped, the water in that room keeps spinning. If you go back and turn off both plumes before falling into the water as Goron link, the water will still spin in the center room.

C Glitch
Hello! I know of a glitch that enables you to use the C buttons while on Epona, use the Fierce Deity Mask as early as the first day, and to be able to ride Epona anywhere, except the canyon. It goes as follows. Ahem.
Okay, first set the stuff to your C buttons that you want to have while on the horse. I recommend the ocarina, Fierce Deity Mask, and either the Goron, Zora, or Deku Mask. Then, call Epona (while outside Milk Road) and get on. Ride her into Milk Road without pausing. Save at the owl statue. When you restart your game, you will be able to use the items equipped to the C buttons. However, if you pause or get off Epona, then it will be disabled. There's a lot of stuff you can do with this glitch though. For example, if you have the Fierce Deity Mask equipped to C go race the Gorman brothers. When the race starts, put the mask on. Wait until the race is over, and tell the guys you don't want to race again. You will now be able to walk around in Fierce Deity form. Another thing is if you do the original C glitch, then use the Song of Soaring to warp somewhere, Epona will be there too, even Clock Town. You can run around and all of that great stuff (In Clock Town, I even chased the Bombers on horseback. It was pretty neat...). When you warp somewhere, the C glitch is gone, but if you leave the immediate vicinity of the owl, get off Epona and back on, then return to the owl and save, it will be renewed!

Equip the Ocarina to B
First, equip your ocarina and do the C glitch. Warp to Clock Town. Go to West Clock Town by way of the stairs behind the owl. Get off Epona, get back on, and return to South Clock Town and save at the owl. Restart your game, and go to West Clock Town without pausing or getting off Epona. Take your ocarina out and put it away. Link should now float and run in place, and you can control only Epona. Go back to South Clock Town (in Epona form) to the closed owl. Press the A button and Link will appear on Epona. Get off, and hit the owl with your sword to open it. Get back on Epona, go to West Clock Town, then return to the real owl and save. When you restart your game, get to West Clock Town and do the ocarina thing to control only Epona. Ride her to the now opened owl statue and press A. This time, do not get off Epona, just save at the "fake" owl. This time, when you resume the game, you will appear in the Mayor's Office, on Epona, with your ocarina on the B button.
