The Old Lady from the Bomb Shop,(MM)[1] also known as the Old Lady from Bomb Shop,(MM)[2] is a character in Majora's Mask.

Biography

The Old Lady is one of three people Link can meet at the Bomb Shop in West Clock Town, along with her son, who is the Owner of the Bomb Shop, and a Goron, who sells Powder Kegs. On the night of the First Day, the Old Lady enters North Clock Town, carrying a sack full of Big Bomb Bags. At midnight Sakon appears and robs the old woman.[3][4] Link can attack Sakon with his sword to make him drop the sack. Attacking him with any other weapon makes the sack explode. After he has left, the Old Lady will thank Link and reward him with the Blast Mask.[5] A Big Bomb Bag will also be up for sale at the Bomb Shop the next day if she is saved, otherwise it will go up for sale at the Curiosity Shop for a higher price on the Final Day.

The Old Lady is a firm believer in the Four Giants. After Link helps her, she credits the Giants for having looked out for her.[6]
