Pirates' Fortress



The Pirates' Fortress appears in Majora's Mask. It is located on Great Bay Coast and can only be accessed by Zora Link. It is the hideout for a gang of Gerudo Pirates who plan on ruling the Western Ocean. Once you have obtained the Zora Mask, you must find the boarded up entrance to the fortress, and then crash through it. Once you do that, you have gained access to the fort. The main item acquired in this area is the Hookshot. A good idea, when in the fortress, is to have the Stone Mask. This mask makes you invisible to enemies, so the pirates will not be able to see you and therefore will not be able to throw you out. If you do not have it, however, you can use your sword, bow, or hookshot to knock the pirates out for a short period of time. After learning about the missing Zora Eggs, Link must venture in and rescue four of the them and return them to the Marine Research Laboratory at Great Bay Coast. Link also overhears the leader of the pirates, Aveil, saying the other three eggs were taken by Sea Snakes.

The pirates are Termina's counterpart to the Gerudo in Ocarina of Time, and the Pirates' Fortress is very similar to the Gerudo Fortress, also found in Ocarina of Time.
