Clock Town

Overview


The largest city of Termina, located right in the center of this mysterious land. It's populated by all kinds of people.

The southern part of Clock Town is a wide market square, with the magnificent Clock Tower standing in the middle of it. In the west, one can find several shops, a bank and the mail office. The eastern part consists of several gaming shops, where one can play exciting mini-games, the Milk Bar and the mayor's office. A tunnel leading to the Observatory of Termina Field is also located there. North Clock Town, on the other hand, is a fairly deserted place, with only a Great Fairy's Fountain and a Deku Scrub playground in it. There is also a small laundry pool in the south-west corner of the town.

The Carnival of Time
Every year, people flock from all over Termina for the Carnival of Time. It is celebrated when the sun and the moon align to pay homage to the neverending progress of both nature and time, and to request fruitfulness for the next year. It is customary to celebrate the Carnival wearing a hand-carved mask that resembles the Four Giants, guardian spirits of Termina.

At midnight of the Carnival eve, the doors of the Clock Tower are opened. From atop the clock tower roof, a ceremony to call the gods is held. This involves singing an ancient song.

On the day of the carnival, there is usually very much to see around the town, such as musical performances. It is said that if a couple unites on the Carnival day, it will bring luck to them, so it's a popular day for weddings.
