How to Use Items in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

Majora's Mask uses a **quick-slot belt system**, not a traditional equip screen. Items are assigned to buttons for instant access.

Button Assignment (by Platform)

How to Assign

1. Press Start / + → Item Subscreen.
2. Highlight item → Press target button.
3. Item icon appears on HUD slot.

Masks — Special Mechanics

• Transformation Masks (Deku, Goron, Zora, Fierce Deity): Assign to slot. Press to transform; press again to revert. Grant passive abilities (Goron roll, Zora swim) + unique movesets.
• Standard Masks (Bunny Hood, Stone Mask, Great Fairy, etc.): Assign to slot. Press to wear; press again to remove. Effect active only while worn.

Passive Items (No Slot Needed)

• Upgrades: Larger Wallet, Bomb Bag, Quiver, Magic Meter.
• Dungeon Items: Map, Compass, Small Key, Boss Key.
• Songs: Played via button combo (no slot).

Pro Loadout Tips

• Keep **Lens of Truth** & **Hookshot** on quick slots (puzzle frequency).
• Swap masks situationally: Stone Mask (stealth), Bunny Hood (speed), Gibdo Mask (ReDead stun).
• Bottles: Assign one slot, cycle contents (Fairy, Blue Potion, Chateau Romani) via Subscreen.

Think "utility belt," not "equipment screen."
