1: Stalkid the Mask Thief

The first scene is pretty foward; just chase Stalkid around. Once you fall in the hole, Stalkid will cast a spell on you and change you into Deku Link. One of his fairy pals will get left behind and decide to help you catch up with Stalkid again. Follow that path some more, and get used to using the flowers as launch pads with Deku Link, beacause you will need to use them alot during your quest. Eventually you should see the mask collector guy, and a huge door. Once you exit this door, the first day will start, so make sure you are ready. You will then have 3 days to find Stalkid before the moon crashes into the planet. The first and only thing you can do right now is find him and get your ocarina back.

First, you should make sure you have 5 rupees, and find the little man towards the north side of town who will sell you a map of the town. Next, head towards the southwest corner of the big middle room with the clocktower, and go up a ramp there to get to the little section at the bottom of the map (It is straight and to the right of the door you first entered town from). There should be a little fairy floating around over the stream there. Hop over and catch the fairy. Head back to where you bought the map from, go left, then follow the ramp up to the fairy's cave, and return the fairy. The Huge fairy will appear and grant Deku Link the ability to spit bubbles. Leave the cave and find the balloon nearby that is floating in the air. Spit a bubble at it an pop it, which will upset it's owner - a little kid. He will call 4 friends, and then they will all hide, giving you 1 day to find them. 2 of the kids are in the same area you are, be sure to check behind trees and hard to see spots. Another kid is in the area on the left side of town, by the shops. If he tries to run away, spin after him until you can catch up. The remaining 2 kids are on the right side of town. One will jump off a ledge when you try to catch him. The other is on the balcony of the inn, you will need to use a flower launcher and glide over to catch him. Being the last kid, he will give you a password (Which is different every time, so don't ask what it is) which you can tell to a kid blocking your way on the right side of town. The password is in the form of 5 numbers.

You will have to follow the passage and skip over a few platforms as Deku Link. You can hop 5 times before falling in, so try to make each one count. There might be a monster or two in here somewhere, but it should not pose any problems. When you get to the ladder, a balloon will prevent you from climbing it. Just pop it like you did the other one, and continue on. You will see a telescope, and a wizard-type man will ask if you want to look through it. Say yes, and zoom in towards to top of the clock to spot Stalkid. A flaming object will fall out of the moon's eye, and land right outside. Take the door right by the telescope and pick it up.

Next, go back to the main part of town and look for the greenish-yellow flower launcher. Another Deku will fly in. Give him what you picked up, and he will give you a paper in return. You can trade that later on for a heart piece, but it will vanish if you travel back with the ocarina. Since you have time to kill, you might want to do it now. Wait until after 0:00 one night, and use the flower launcher by the inn to get in at night. Find the room with the hand creature on the bottom floor, and give him the letter (To give an item to someone, you must talk to them, and when the box that says to select an item on the start menu appears, select the item you want to give and push the C button it is assigned to while that dialouge box is still open).

In order to advance further, you will need to wait until night time of day 3. When you see the cut scene of the fireworks at the clock, head back to the yellow launcher in the middle of town, and use it to get on top of the clock tower where the heart piece is. Follow the stairs and you will run into Stalkid and his black fairy. He will start to cast a spell to pull the moon towards the earth, and will be distracted for a second, so you can stand below him, aim upwards, and knock the ocarina away with a Deku Bubble. A flashback with Link learning the song of the time will follow. After the scene finishes, just play the song of time on your ocarina and you will be sent back to day 1. There is no way to beat Stalkid at this point, and if you don't travel back in 5 minutes from the time you entered the room, the moon will crash into the planet.
