Hey everyone! I’m a long-time fan of Majora’s Mask and I’m currently playing it again using the Nintendo Switch’s N64 pass. I remember loving this game as a kid on the GameCube! Now that I’m in the Great Bay section, I’ve encountered something strange: some characters are acting like I’ve already spoken to them, even though I haven’t. For example, when I approached the beavers, one of them said ‘Are you ready to race again?’ which confused me.
I shrugged it off as a glitch, but then I ran into a bigger issue while working on Anju and Kafei’s couples mask quest. I was supposed to go back to Kafei’s hideout after seeing a scene between the shopkeeper and the thief, but the door was locked every time I tried to enter. I checked many different in-game hours to see if it would unlock after getting the Keaton mask or the letter from Kafei’s mom, but it never worked. I did manage to complete some parts of the quest and get the couples mask, but I can’t progress to get the items from the shopkeeper or the postman.
I’ve attempted this a couple of times; the first time I thought I messed up, so I reset with the Song of Time. The second time, I followed a walkthrough closely, yet still couldn’t get into Kafei’s hideout. Has anyone experienced this issue? Any tips on how to get around it? I’d really like to complete the quest! Thanks in advance!

It sounds like you might have missed a step in the quest! Make sure you talk to Anju wearing the Kafei Mask after she interacts with the postman, then go through the whole sequence: talk to her in the kitchen at midnight, drop her letter in the mailbox before the postman rounds up, and so on. If you didn’t help the bomb shop lady on the first night, that could also be causing problems. Just be aware of the timing, especially trying to get in after 1 PM on Day 3! Good luck!
I gotta say, I went through a similar hassle. I didn’t help the bomb lady and thought I was fine, but then realized if you don’t have space for another quest item, it can cause weird issues. So, restarting could fix things! It’s annoying, but I’ve found that redoing quests sometimes does the trick.
Ugh, sounds like a pain! I didn’t help her either and everything went smoothly for me. Hopefully, it’s just a random glitch. Good luck!
Regarding the beaver dialogue, it seems they’re mistaking you for Mikau, which isn’t a glitch! As for the lockout from Kafei’s hideout, sometimes it’s just about timing. Make sure you’re trying to enter on Day 3 after 1 PM. If you’ve done everything else right, it might just be a bug. Keep trying, and don’t hesitate to take another shot on a fresh day!
That actually helps clarify the beaver thing! I was confused too until I remembered that detail.
I actually went through the same thing. I did all of that, but still had trouble getting into the hideout. I ended up starting a new cycle and replayed the quest, and it worked that time.
