Beneath the Well

*For the mini-dungeon in Ocarina of Time, see Bottom of the Well*.

The Well's entrance

**Beneath the Well** is a vast maze-like mini-dungeon in *Majora's Mask*. It is located in Ikana Canyon, and must be traversed in order to obtain the Mirror Shield and be granted entrance to the Ancient Castle of Ikana.

## Entrance to the Well

The place is found to the right of the Spirit House, near where Tingle draws his maps. Although it can be entered at any time, full exploration is only possible after Link collects the Gibdo Mask.

## Themes and Navigation

Inside the Bottom of the Well is a maze of colossal size, guarded by many traps and enemies. In front of each door within the maze is a Gibdo. In order to advance through the maze, Link must speak to each Gibdo and fulfill any need they might have, which can only be achieved while wearing the Gibdo Mask. In each case, they will request an item. However, instead of asking directly, they will give a cryptic clue as to what item they want.

A notable enemy within the Well is a Big Poe, which is intended to be captured in a Bottle and given to one of the Gibdos in order to proceed. Most of these items can be found in the Well, though Link will need to get the Potion(s) and Magic Beans outside the well. At the very end of the maze lies the prize, the Mirror Shield, and the entrance to Ikana Castle.

The Gibdos' requests are as follows:

*Majora's Mask**Majora's Mask 3D*

### Minor Enemies and Traps

* Big Poe
* Black Boe
* Skulltula
* Blade Trap
* Deku Baba
* Dexihand
* Fire Eye
* Freezard
* Gibdo
* Ice Keese
* Mini Baba
* Rolling Spike Trap
* Wallmaster
* ReDead

## Trivia

* The sign next to the entrance reads "*Entry prohibited due to ghost sightings*."
* This is a unique area in the game in that it contains the only regular Fairy Fountain. This requires giving many items to Gidbos and moving along a path that will fail to bring Link to the Mirror Shield.
* It is heavily implied that Pamela's Father became a Gibdo after he entered the well.
