Moon

The Moon is the ominous object that threatens to destroy Clock Town in. By the power of Majora's Mask, it is destined to crash into Clock Town, which will obliterate the town along with the rest of Termina.

Majora's Mask
Before the events of Majora's Mask, the Skull Kid ambushed the Happy Mask Salesman and took one of his precious masks, the Majora's Mask. Even though the Skull Kid was unaware of it, Majora's Mask gradually began to take control over him, turning his harmless pranks into acts with malicious intents behind them. Eventually, the mask completely embraced the Skull Kid's mind, and using him as a puppet, Majora's Mask set the Moon on its course to crash into Clock Town. Once Link arrives in Termina, he finds out that he just has three days to prevent the Moon from extinguishing all of Termina.

Along with his Fairy companion Tatl, Link sets out to free the Four Giants in each of the temples found all over Termina. With the Giants free from their curse, the young hero and his Fairy climb atop the Clock Tower on the Final Day to call upon the Giants using the "Oath to Order." One by one, the Four Giants appear and stop the Moon from its path of destruction.

Majora's Mask eventually realizes that the Skull Kid has become useless, so it abandons the imp's body and transports itself inside the Moon. With the Moon now being possessed by Majora's Mask, it becomes too strong for the Giants to hold it back and it threatens to continue with its plan of obliterating Termina. While the Four Giants use all their might to restrain the evil menace, Link and Tatl follow Majora into the Moon. Inside, Link defeats Majora's Mask and afterwards the Moon disintegrates, returning peace to Termina.

Dungeon
Once Link and Tatl successfully summon the Four Giants to halt the descent of the Moon, Majora's Mask discards the Skull Kid's unconscious body and enters the Moon's mouth, once more driving it down toward Termina. To stop this, Link and Tatl follow the cursed Mask to the Moon.

Link and Tatl transport to a serene, hilled landscape known as the Grassy Playfield. Several Moon Children appear in this field, wearing the remains of the four previous bosses as masks. If Link decides to play with any of these Moon Children, they will transport him to a special dungeon. If Link decides to play with the Moon Child wearing Majora's Mask and sitting under the tree in the center of the field, he will initiate the battle with Majora's Mask.

Super Smash Bros. Melee
In, the Moon appears in the background of the Great Bay stage. As the match progresses, the Moon slowly descends until the Four Giants appear and push it back up. The Moon also appears as a Trophy.

Hyrule Warriors
In, the Moon appears in "The Shadow King", where it is constructed by Fairies and summoned by the Great Fairy to knock Argorok out of the sky. The Moon can also be summoned when using the Clawshot into the air, pulling a smaller Moon down to crush enemies. Link can also summon the Moon when using the Great Fairy weapon as a combo attack. Young Link wearing the Fierce Deity's Mask can also summon the Moon, which is pulled by the Skull Kid and then sliced in half by the Fierce Deity. Skull Kid as a playable Warrior kicks a miniature Moon at his enemies to attack.

An 8-bit version of the Moon also appears on the Termina Map in Adventure Mode, which will crash and destroy Termina if the map is not cleared in time. The Moon will crash in 72 moves, similarly to the 72 hours in Majora's Mask. However, if the Four Giants Item Card is used and the hidden battle is completed on the Moon itself, the Moon will not fall down. The Moon can be prevented from crashing by using the Song of Time Item Card, however this also resets the map.

Trivia

 * During the development of the game, the Moon had no face on it.
 * In, the Nintendo Gallery has a sculpture of the Moon in the background behind the counter.
