The Garo Tribe in Majora's Mask

Introduction to the Garo

• Majora's Mask incorporates many assets from Ocarina of Time, yet introduces a new race known as the Garo.

• The Garo are depicted as desert-dwelling spies who historically conflicted with the kingdom of Ikana.

• Players can interact with the Garo by wearing the Garo Mask in suspicious areas within Ikana Valley.

Combat and Traditions of the Garo

• Upon defeat, Garo adhere to their tradition of dying without leaving a corpse; most vanish by burning away due to their ghostly nature.

• A notable exception occurs when confronting a leader in Stone Tower, who uses a bomb to ensure no remains are left, suggesting they were alive at that moment.

• Defeating this captain rewards players with Light Arrows, essential for completing the dungeon.

Conflict with Ikana Kingdom

• The historical conflict between the Garo and Ikana suggests that the Garo oppose Ikana's ambitions regarding Stone Tower.

• Theories propose that a portal leading to Twinmold may actually transport players back to Hyrule, indicating that protecting this entrance is part of the Garo’s mission.

Questions Raised by Stone Tower Temple

• The existence and purpose behind creating Stone Tower Temple remain ambiguous and provoke further inquiry into its significance within the game.
