Clock Town

Clock Town (クロックタウン, Kurokku Taun) is the largest town in Termina and is the center of government for all the people of Termina. The town consists of four main sections, each named after one of the main compass directions, as well as a small area known as the Laundry Pool. Clock Town is located right in the center of both Termina Field and all of Termina.

There are only 4 entrances into the town, each facing a different compass direction, and they are constantly guarded. However, there is a small, secret entrance through a tunnel from East Clock Town to the Astral Observatory. This entrance does not make the town particularly vulnerable though, due to the tall fence that surrounds the observatory (although Deku Link can get in by using a Deku Flower).

South Clock Town
South Clock Town is considered to be the main hub of the town, due its large size and the fact that it connects to every other section. It is also the location for the namesake and the main structure of Clock Town, the Clock Tower. In this Area two Chests can be found, although Link needs the Deku Mask to obtain them.

West Clock Town
West Clock Town forms Clock Town's business district, as all the shops are located here, including the Bomb Shop and the slightly shady Curiosity Shop, which is only open after 10pm. West Clock Town is also the location for the Post Office, the Lottery Shop, the Trading Post, and Clock Town's bank, where anyone can take out an account with a maximum capacity of 5,499 rupees. The Swordman's School can also be found here for those who wish to improve their sword skills. At night, the Rosa Sisters practice their carnival dance.



East Clock Town
This is where the main tourist attractions are located, as well as the Stock Pot Inn for any travelers who wish to stay. Most of the businesses are gaming arcades such as Honey and Darling's Shop and the Town Shooting Gallery; however, there is also the Milk Bar, a place for townsfolk and tourists alike to congregate and chat, as well as a venue for bands such as The Indigo-Go's to perform. The raised northern section is the location of the Mayor's Residence, as well as the entrance to the secret tunnel.

This is also where the first Stray Fairy that Link has to find is located, but only at night.

North Clock Town
This area is the least busy of the main sections, and has no buildings. There is what appears to be a small play area for children in the north-east corner, and the Deku Scrub Playground is located down a hole in the south-west&mdash;right next to the entrance to Clock Town's Great Fairy's Fountain. This is also the area where the bomb-thief (Sakon) hangs out at night and attempts to steal the old lady's bag.

Laundry Pool
The Laundry Pool is the smallest section of Clock Town, located in the south-west corner. At first sight it looks like a desolate place, but it becomes an important location later in the game. It features an entrance to the apartment where Kafei lives behind the Curiosity Shop, a member of the Frog Choir, and a bench where Guru-Guru sits.

This is also where the first Stray Fairy Link has to collect is located, but it's only there during the day since it moves to East Clock Town during the night.

The Carnival of Time

 * Main article: The Carnival of Time

Every year, people gather from all over Termina for the Carnival of Time. It is celebrated when the sun and the moon align to pay homage to the never-ending 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, the guardian spirits of Termina.
