How to get Majora’s Mask in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Majora’s Mask returns in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and wearing it makes it a little harder for enemies to spot you. The mask is much more difficult to get in Tears of the Kingdom than it was in its predecessor, Breath of the Wild, since you must defeat a whopping five Lynels in a row at the Floating Coliseum. This challenge may be one of the hardest in Hyrule, and requires a lot of preparation.

Keep reading to find out where to find Majora’s Mask, how to get it, and how to defeat all five of the Lynels in the Floating Coliseum.

Majora’s Mask is a reward for completing the Lynel challenge at the Floating Coliseum. The exact coordinates for the Floating Coliseum’s entrance are (-1134, -1202, -0499).

The Floating Coliseum can be found directly under the Coliseum Ruins, which is located in the Hyrule Fields on the surface. To get to the Floating Coliseum, enter the Great Plateau North Chasm, which can be found to the north of the Temple of Time Ruins in the Hyrule Fields. The exact coordinates for the Great Plateau North Chasm are (-0665, -1506, 0065).

Before heading into the chasm, place a pin on the Coliseum Ruins, similar to the image above. In the Depths, head in the direction of the pin until you reach a large circular building surrounded by water. Don’t take on the challenge without grabbing the Mu-ustust Lightroot, which can be found to the southwest of the Floating Coliseum at the coordinates (-1423, -1351, -0517).

If you have the Traveler’s Medallion, we recommend you place it at the entrance of the challenge in case you need to prepare more equipment and return.

To get Majora’s Mask, you’ll need to beat five Lynels in a row. After you defeat one Lynel, a gate will lift up revealing a stronger Lynel, who will immediately hunt you down. You’ll have a limited amount of time to get yourself together before the next Lynel kicks your teeth in, so make sure you’re prepared to take them all on!

Before you start the challenge, here is everything we’d recommend you do:

A few other tips that aren’t necessary include building your own killing machine with the Zonai devices and gathering all of the Sage avatars by completing each temple.

There are a total of five Lynels at the Floating Coliseum. After you defeat one Lynel, a stronger Lynel will challenge you with more attacks up its sleeve.

One way to defeat Lynels is to hold your shield up and dodge their attacks. On a well-timed dodge, you’ll be able to perform a Flurry Rush to deal a lot of damage in not a lot of time. Depending on how powerful your weapon is, it may only take a few flurry rushes to down a Lynel, but for those with weapons in the 30 to 50 attack range, be prepared for a long battle if you decide to go this route.

As a Lynel is winding up an attack such as their fireball, you’ll have a brief period to stun them with an arrow. Shoot an arrow at their head to stun them, and charge in to mount them, which allows you to get a few free hits in. If you’re having a hard time aiming at their head, attach an eyeball to your arrow, or try to enter “bullet time.”

Another way to defeat the Lynels is to make use of bullet time. Since there are no platforms inside the coliseum, you’ll need a way to get into the air. Equipping Zonai devices like rockets or springs to your shield is a great way to get airborne.

Keep in mind, if you go airborne or Ascend to higher elevation, the Lynel will bring out their bow and shoot arrows at you. Their arrows will go through the ceiling, but can be blocked with your creations and Zonai devices.

Once you’re in bullet time, Fuse a powerful material (such as Gibdo bones) to your arrow, and shoot it at the Lynel’s head to stun it. After you’ve stunned it, mount the Lynel to get a few good hits in. If you’re feeling a little risky, you can hit the Lynel a few times before mounting it to deal even more damage.

The first Lynel is a Red Lynel who comes equipped with a broadsword and a shield. This Lynel has five different attacks:

Once defeated, the first Lynel will drop a Lynel mace horn, Lynel saber horn, soldier’s broadsword, Lynel shield, Lynel bow, large crystallized charge, Lynel guts, two Lynel hooves, and 20 arrows.

The second Lynel is a Blue-Maned Lynel who comes equipped with a claymore. This Lynel has six different attacks:

Once defeated, the second Lynel will drop a Blue-Maned Lynel mace horn, Blue-Maned Lynel saber horn, soldier’s claymore, Lynel bow, large crystallized charge, Lynel guts, two Lynel hooves, and 20 arrows.

The third Lynel is a White-Maned Lynel who comes equipped with a halberd. This Lynel has six different attacks:

Once defeated, the third Lynel will drop a White-Maned Lynel mace horn, White-Maned Lynel saber horn, knight’s halberd, mighty Lynel bow, large crystallized charge, Lynel guts, two Lynel hooves, and 20 arrows.

The fourth Lynel is a Silver Lynel that comes equipped with a broadsword and a shield. This Lynel has eight different attacks:

Once defeated, the fourth Lynel will drop a Silver Lynel mace horn, Silver Lynel saber horn, savage Lynel bow, savage Lynel shield, large crystallized charge, Lynel guts, two Lynel hooves, and 20 arrows.

The fifth Lynel is a Silver Lynel who comes equipped with armor and a spiked-iron-ball hammer. This Lynel has seven different attacks:

Once defeated, the final Lynel will drop a Silver Lynel mace horn, Silver Lynel saber horn, spiked-iron-ball hammer, savage Lynel bow, savage Lynel shield, large crystallized charge, Lynel guts, two Lynel hooves, and 50 arrows.

In addition to the dropped materials from each Lynel, the chest in the center of the coliseum will unlock. Interact with the chest to receive Majora’s Mask.

Majora’s Mask is a head armor piece with +1 defense and an effect that reduces the chance to be spotted by enemies. Note that it does not work against named enemies such as Hinoxes and Gleeoks, but it will buy you some time before a Lynel attacks you. Unfortunately, Majora’s Mask can not be upgraded at the Great Fairies, but it makes up for it by allowing you to avoid some fights altogether.
