Pirates' Fortress

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask guide · After infiltrating the fortress

Link navigates the interior courtyards and rooms of the Gerudo Pirates' headquarters to retrieve four stolen Zora eggs. He must avoid being captured by patrolling pirate guards while solving puzzles and taking down elite Gerudo warriors. After claiming the eggs in bottles and securing the Hookshot, Link can leave the fortress to return the eggs to the Marine Research Lab.

Tips

Equipping the Stone Mask makes Link completely invisible to all patrolling Gerudo guards, making navigation through the fortress trivial.
Bring four Empty Bottles before entering the fortress interior so you can collect all four Zora eggs in a single trip.
Use the Pictograph Box to snap a clear, close-up photo of an active female pirate, as it can be traded later to the Fisherman for the Seahorse.
