The '''Clock Tower''' is located in the center of [[Clock Town]]. It plays a key role in the events of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', as it is where the climax of the game takes place. It is composed of a giant [[Termina Clock|Terminian Clock]], and it also emits a ray of light from atop the tower during the night, serving as a lighthouse of sorts. Every time [[Link]] plays the [[Song of Time]] to return to the dawn of the [[First Day]], he will always start in front of the entrance of the Clock Tower regardless of where he was prior to playing the melody. | The '''Clock Tower''' is located in the center of [[Clock Town]].

The inside of the tower, which can be accessed through a set of double doors at the foot of the tower, holds the only known portal between [[Hyrule]] and [[Termina]]; however, once the portal is entered in the beginning of the game, it remains inaccessible afterward. The inner part of the tower consists of two floors which are connected by a long ramp. The bottom floor contains a waterwheel propelled by a small river, and the waterwheel in turn helps mobilize the inner workings of the tower, including the part of the tower that functions as a lighthouse as well as the Terminan Clock itself. | The inside of the tower, which can be accessed through a set of double doors at the foot of the tower, holds the only known portal between [[Hyrule]] and [[Termina]]; however, once the portal is entered in the beginning of the game, it remains inaccessible afterward.

The Clock Tower is the main attraction during the [[Carnival of Time]]. Every year at midnight on the day of the [[Carnival of Time]], the tower itself "falls over", causing the clock face to be level with the ground. Along with this, the tower reveals stairs to the roof, allowing people to climb to the top by using the ramp leading up to the clock located to the side. This permits the citizens of Termina to stand on the clock face as they make their prayers and sing ceremonial songs to the [[Four Giants|gods]].<ref>{{cite|The centerpiece of the carnival is the clock tower, and on the eve of all the festivities, the doors to its roof are opened...

When [[Link]] first arrives to Termina, he stumbles into the inside of the tower via the portal. It is here that he meets the [[Happy Mask Salesman]] for the first time, and it is also here that the young hero is charged with the task of recovering [[Majora's Mask (Object)|Majora's Mask]] from the Skull Kid. | When [[Link]] first arrives to Termina, he stumbles into the inside of the tower via the portal.
