ith an amazing speed, Link rushed off to the Clock Tower to fight the Skullkid with the mask. The courage that was in his heart was so strong that fear meant nothing to him. He knew deep down he would prevail.

When he arrived at the Clock Tower, he gazed at the clock above him. In indeed was the third day, but it wasn't quite midnight yet. He sat down right next to the clock tower to rest for a short while, waiting for upcoming tolls of the bell. Roughly a quarter of an hour later, they came.

A door appeared next to Link as the clock struck twelve, and Link quickly picked up his belongings and climbed the staircase to the top of the Clock Tower. Like the first time he had met him, there was the Skull Kid with Majora's Mask hovering above him. The same events happened, just like it was déjà vu for Link, that is, up until he pulled out his ocarina and played the song the deities had taught him. As soon as he played the song, he could hear the deities calling for him. They slowly came from the horizons, one from each cardinal direction, and they slowly walked towards the Clock Tower, ready to assist.

The gods arrived at the Clock Tower, and they put their hands on the moon, trying to hold it up. At first, their knees wanted to buckle under the weight of it all, but slowly, every so patiently, the moon began to slow its rate of fall, and the gods continued their effort, and shortly enough, the moon stopped.

Link and those around him began to cheer because of their victory, but apparently, the battle wasn't over yet. The Skullkid was raised again into the air, this time, his body hanging limply from the Mask. The Mask discarded his body and gave an evil laugh. The Mask shot up into the mouth of the moon, and upon doing so, the eyes of the moon began to glow, and Link was sucked up in a whirlwind taking him to the moon.

The moon seemed a world of dreams, almost surreal, but Link told himself that this was indeed reality, and that he must take this as serious as any other place. He stepped forward into the room, and Majora's Mask appeared. The Mask grew a tangle of tentacles and flew towards Link, but Link used his shield to block it. Link tried shooting arrows at it, only to find out that the front of the mask couldn't be penetrated by them. Link thought quickly, and donned his Zora's mask, firing his boomerang-like fins into the back of Majora's Mask. The fins struck him, and the mask plummeted to the ground. Using his finest sword, Link jammed the sword into the Mask's broken form, and the Mask screamed out in pain.

The Mask, however, wasn't finished. Casting a horrific spell on himself with its evil power, the mask grew arms and legs, and then began running about the room in a fury. Link was a little bewildered on this strange turn of events, but eventually decided to go with the same strategy, using his boomerang fins and sword. Link never let Majora rest, and soon enough, it tired of this play.

The Mask decided to enter its final form -- Majora's Wrath. It's arms became tentacles that swept the entire room, tripping Link. Link could barely have enough time to orient himself before falling again. Deciding what worked on Ganondorf might work on Majora, he took out the Light Arrow and fired a shot at him. The arrow struck Majora in the chest, and it immediately became dazed, Link crossed the room in a fury and began slashing him with his sword once again, trying to wear the mask down. In the end, the mask yielded to Link, and Termina was finally free of evil.

The next day came, and Link knew that his time in Termina was counting down, and he would soon be returning to Hyrule. He gathered those he had met and become familiar with -- Tatl and Tael, the Skull Kid, now returned to his normal self, the Happy Mask Salesman, and others -- and he gave them a hearty farewell. As he walked away, he felt himself fading, and at once he was both sad to leave Termina yet happy to go home to Hyrule.

As he walked, blackness began to surround him, and then Hyrule's Lost Woods came back into view. Finally feeling at home, he ran back to the Kokiri Village to greet his lifelong friend Saria and to tell her of his adventures. He ran back as quick as his little legs would carry him, and soon enough, he was standing outside Saria's house, knocking on the door. She answered, and they agreed to go walking in the woods together while Link told her of his story.

They started walking, and Link began to tell the story, leaving out not even the slightest detail. Every last bit of description was added into the story, and Saria listened attentively and enthusiastically, asking questions every once in a while, but mostly silently nodding and smiling along with Link. Link actually at one point took out his ocarina and played some of the songs that he had learned there for her, but after a while, they returned to Saria's favorite song and played several verses of it together as a duet.

Towards the evening, Link realized that he should probably go to Hyrule Castle to tell Zelda of his adventures and to return the magical instrument which she so graciously lent him. He bid Saria and several of the other Kokiri whom he knew well adieu, and then he started off towards the castle. Surprisingly, the ground no longer unearthed Stalchilds at night time, so it was a peaceful walk under the stars that night.

As Link walked, he could hear the sound of a horse's hooves galloping across the field. Link drew his sword, a little wary of who would be travelling at this time of night, but as the horse galloped closer, Link finally saw the shadow of Impa coming towards him. Link breathed a sigh of relief and sheathed his sword and ran over to greet her.

"Zelda told me that I'd find you here," said Impa. "I'm to take you back to the castle, princess' orders," she added with a wink. Link nodded and winked back, getting the hint Impa dropped. He mounted the horse in front of Impa, and they rode back to Hyrule castle.

The sun was still set by the time they reached the castle drawbridge. As they rode into town, they raised the drawbridge again and they continued on into Hyrule Castle Town. They continued riding until they reached the entrance to Hyrule Castle itself. Link and Impa entered through the front gate, and Link found himself being brought inside the castle walls.

"Wait here... Zelda's sleeping. I'll get her for you." Link began to protest, saying he was willing to wait until morning, but Impa told him that Zelda insisted upon be woken when he came, so Link stopped arguing. A few minutes later, Zelda came down the stairs into the main corridor in her nightgown, a little sleepy, but all in all thoroughly joyous to see Link again. They hugged for a brief moment, and then Impa guided them into the royal dining room so they talk.

Zelda started by telling Link that she had felt that Link had reentered Hyrule because of the strong emotional bond between them. She told him that she had sent Impa out looking for him almost immediately because of all the guards on patrol since last year's war. Hyrule had returned to peace, but it had not forgotten the tragedy that had befallen them.

Once Zelda had told Link her story, Link then related the events of his journey, just as he had done to Saria. Only instead of asking questions, Zelda would remember parts of her dreams, figuring out what dreams she had been having the recent nights had meant.

Being late at night, Link desired sleep, and Zelda was feeling tired as well, having been woken from a long night's rest. Impa offered him a guest room for the night, telling him that she would explain to the King in the morning. Link went off to the guest room, and Zelda returned to her own, and they both slept until morning.

Finally, Link would find peace for quite some time.
