The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask/Unused Text

This is a sub-page of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.

Some of the following unused text is found only in the Japanese version of the game. Unofficial translations provided by GlitterBerri.

Item Text

Bottled Seahorse - (J)

The Seahorse isn't given to you in its own bottle in the final game; you need to have an empty one in your possession to get it.

Text ID	Speaker	Japanese	Translation	Dev. Notes	Translation
006E	System	タツノオトシゴとコウカンした しかも ビン入りで 早く 住んでいたトンガリ岩に もどしてあげよう	You traded for the Seahorse. And it came in a bottle! You should hurry and return it to its home at Pinnacle Rock.	(このメッセージは　使いません）	(This message is unused.)

Bottled Hylian Loach - (J)

The Hylian Loach also once came in a bottle, it seems.

Text ID	Speaker	Japanese	Translation	Dev. Notes	Translation
0070	System	ハイラルどじょう入りビンだ めったに釣れない 幻のサカナらしい・・・ しかも、ビン入りで！ ちょっと トクした	It's a Hylian Loach in a bottle! An illusory fish that few have caught... And it came in a bottle! What a find!	(このメッセージは　使いません）	(This message is unused.)

Hylian Loach - (J)

However, text for a non-bottled version also exists.

0094	System	ハイラルどじょうを手に入れた めったに釣れない 幻のサカナらしい・・・	You got the Hylian Loach! An illusory fish that few have caught...	(このメッセージは　使いません）	(This message is unused.)

Hero's Shield - (J)

This text is used if you buy back your stolen Hero's Shield from the Curiosity Shop, which can't normally happen because Takkuri will never steal it from you.

Text ID	Speaker	Japanese	Translation	Dev. Notes	Translation
009F	System	盗まれた 勇者の盾を 買い戻した 道を 歩く時は 飛んでくる トリに 気をつけよう・・・	You bought back the Hero's Shield that was stolen from you. In the future, watch out for swooping birds on your travels.	マニ屋　盗られた　勇者の盾を買ったとき （使っていません）	Curiosity Shop: Bought Stolen Hero's Shield (Unused)

Location Names

Usually, upon entering maps in Majora's Mask, a purple bar is displayed with the name of the location. However, there are three exceptions where no text is displayed upon entry at all. Location names exists for these areas only in the Japanese game, but it isn't used in that version, either. Because almost all of MM's maps have location names, it's possible that this was an oversight, but the lack of an English translation is curious and possibly points towards a deliberate decision on the developers' part.

Lone Peak Shrine - (J)

This text is meant to be displayed when you enter the shrine where you get the Lens of Truth at Snowhead. Lone Peak Shrine is mentioned once in the English script, on a sign text: "Lone Peak Shrine ahead. Watch your step! It's a long way down!"

Great Bay

This text is present in both the English and Japanese versions of the game. It is attached to a map called Z2_KONPEKI_ENT, used only for the cutscene in which a group of pirates boating in the waters near Great Bay Temple get swept up by a hurricane. However, the map is never otherwise accessible, and nothing suggests that Link was ever intended to be able to explore it. For example, it lacks any exits, and the surface of the water can be walked on.

Text ID	Speaker	Japanese	English	Dev. Notes	Translation
0139	System	グレートベイ	Great Bay	[N/A]	[N/A]

Tatl

Ikana Canyon Advice - (J)

Tatl has a message like this for Woodfall, Snowhead, and Great Bay in English, but none for Ikana. This is because the message is normally seen after completing a Temple without having completed the one before it, for example if you complete the Snowhead Temple before the Woodfall Temple. As there are no Temples after Stone Tower Temple, this is impossible to see.

Text ID	Speaker	Japanese	Translation	Dev. Notes	Translation

East Clock Town

Bombers' Hideout Guard - (J)

One can trigger this message by talking to the Bomber guarding the entrance to the Astral Observatory as Fierce Deity Link in the Japanese version of the game. The Bomber uses other messages for Link's different forms, but as the Fierce Deity Mask cannot be used outside of boss rooms, this one is never seen. The game softlocks after the conversation is finished.

As this message doesn't exist in the international versions of the game, accessing Clock Town as Fierce Deity Link through the use of glitches or codes and talking to the Bomber in question will cause the game to freeze.

North Clock Town

Jim - (J)

This text appears if you pop Jim's balloon in North Clock Tower and then talk to him as Fierce Deity Link in the Japanese version of the game. It does not exist in the international versions, which merely displays a blank text box.

The second line was replaced by the following message in the overseas releases:

Have you seen an old hag named
Koume who looks just like me?
She hasn't come back from
gathering medicinal herbs...

In order to see it, one must talk to Kotake as Child Link before meeting Koume, but without having checked the Tourist Information window.

Swamp Tourist Center

Boat Cruise Ticket Seller - (J)

Koume advertises child and adult boat cruise tickets for 10 and 50 rupees, respectively. Buy a child ticket, and she will say "Great. Kids are 10 Rupees!" Buy an adult ticket, and she has the following unused response:

Text ID	Speaker	Japanese	Translation	Dev. Notes	Translation

Deku Palace

Bean Seller - (J)

The bean seller gives Link a hint about what to do with his new item. This was removed in the international versions for some reason.

Text ID	Speaker	Japanese	Translation	Dev. Notes	Translation

Doggy Racetrack

This text cannot be seen in-game as it's only set to be used by the EnRacedog actor, which is only used during the race. The dogs milling about the racetrack that give you clues about their competence if you wear the Mask of Truth use a different actor, EnDg.

Race Dog - (U)

Great Fairy's Sword - (J)

In MM (J) 1.0, players can cause this text to appear by using a GameShark to replace Link's sword on the Quest Status Screen with Fierce Deity Link's sword. The description is similar, but not identical to the regular description of the Great Fairy's Sword. It is different in that the text for the sword's name is yellow instead of red.

Gold Skulltula - (J)

Link isn't able to target Gold Skulltulas in Majora's Mask, and while Gold Skulltula tokens can be targeted, Tatl has nothing to say about them. Similarly unused Gold Skulltula target text for Navi exists in Ocarina of Time.

Song Messages

The Scarecrow describes how the Song of Inverted Time and Song of Double Time are different from the original Song of Time, but since neither he nor anyone else teaches them to you formally, these two pieces of text are never used.

Takkuri the bird hangs out in Termina Field beside the road to Romani Ranch. It bumps into you and steals one of your items, then flies off in the direction of Clock Town. Items it is capable of stealing include the Hero's Sword, Great Fairy's Sword, bottles, arrows, and rupees. If you lose an irreplaceable item, it can be bought back from the Curiosity Shop when it opens at night. The Japanese script has text for buying back the Hero's Shield & Mirror Shield, but Takkuri never steals these shields in the final game.

The Curiosity Shop also contains item display models for buying back your Hylian Shield & Mirror Shield. The description and name for both shields in the Curiosity Shop is the same.

Milk Bar

Madame Aroma - (J)

Text fragments found with the Milk Bar text indicate that Madame Aroma would originally recruit you to search for Kafei there, rather than or in addition to her office.

(This message isn't used.)

Happy Mask Man

Giant's Mask Reaction - (U)/(J)

This dialogue would be used by the Happy Mask Salesman, if it were possible to speak to him while wearing the Giant's Mask. However, Link cannot wear this mask outside of the Twinmold battle arena.

Text ID	Speaker	Japanese	Translation	Dev. Notes	Translation

The Moon

Gossip Stone

These are messages from Gossip Stones found within the moon trials. There are versions of messages for both before and after obtaining each mask, since it's impossible to reach the moon through normal means without obtaining the Gibdo Mask, the Garo Mask, and the Captain's Hat; the text hinting at their locations is never used. Furthermore, since it's impossible to speak to the Gossip Stones without it, the Mask of Truth message also goes unused.
