The Stock Pot Inn is a location in East Clock Town in Majora's Mask.[1]

Features and Overview[]

The Stock Pot Inn is the only commercial "rent-a-room" facility in Clock Town. It is a small inn located on East Clock Town which is run by Anju[2] and her mother. The inn used to be a cafeteria, but after Anju's father passed away, the room rentals that were part of their service became their main focus.[3] Although the Stock Pot Inn only has two rooms, people from all over Termina go to stay at the inn as the Carnival of Time approaches.[4]

The Stock Pot Inn is open from 8 AM[5] to 8:30 PM;[6] however, people staying at the inn receive a Room Key that allows them to go in and out of the building before and after the doors close.[7] While the inn's main door is only open for roughly twelve hours, there is another entrance on the second floor that is unlocked at any given hour.[8] Link can reach this door as Deku Link by using the Deku Flower nearby.

The building is run by a friendly staff, and Anju is usually the one on the counter ready to serve customers. During the Second and Final Day, depending on the outcome thus far in the Reuniting Kafei and Anju sidequest, Anju's Mother will be the one at the counter instead.

As the Carnival of Time approaches, the Stock Pot Inn is known to get completely booked, usually having to turn people away as a result.[9] During Link's stay in Termina, he can only get a room if he talks to Anju during the afternoon before Link the Goron asks for his reservation at 3:45 PM. In Majora's Mask 3D, this can only be done while in Goron form. If Link claims the reservation before Link the Goron does, then the Goron will instead sleep outside in the streets.

There are two rooms available for rent on the second floor of the Stock Pot Inn, one of which Link is capable of entering only if he has the proper Room Key; the other room, however, can be entered with or without a key. This room houses the members of the Gorman Troupe, and it contains four bunk beds, a table, and four chairs, making it rather crowded. The second room, known as the Knife Chamber,[10] is more spacious, equipped with two beds, a fireplace, and a Treasure Chest containing 100 Rupees. The third room is for employees only, and is the first room seen going up the stairs to the second floor. It is otherwise known as Anju's room, and it is where Anju and Kafei reunite on the Final Day at the end of the Reuniting Kafei and Anju sidequest. The Couple's Mask is received here at the end of the sidequest. Like the Knife Chamber, this room also contains a Treasure Chest with 100 Rupees in it.

The restroom, the kitchen, and Anju's Grandmother's room are all located on the first floor of the inn. The kitchen, which is just behind the counter, is a rather ample room where Anju can sometimes be seen cooking, and it is also where Anju hands over the Letter to Kafei to Link during their night meeting.[11] The restroom has no door leading to it, and after midnight, ??? pops out of the toilet asking for paper.[12] If Link gives ??? paper (either any of the Title Deeds, the Letter to Kafei, or the Express Mail), he will receive a Piece of Heart in return. Link can also visit Anju's Grandmother's room to listen to her stories to earn two more Pieces of Heart.[13] This requires wearing the All-Night Mask however, as Link will otherwise fall asleep to her stories.

In Majora's Mask 3D, Link can obtain a Bottle by bringing Mystery Milk to Gorman during the Second Day.
