Finding Madame Aroma's Son: A Guide To Success

Madame Aroma is a character from Majora's Mask. She is the wife of Mayor Dotour and the mother of Kafei, who has gone missing. Madame Aroma is the leader of the Clock Town Carnival Executive Committee and is working with Toto and Gorman to arrange performances for the Carnival of Time. However, her son's disappearance has thrown a spanner in the works, and she has been trying to locate him. She hires Link to find her son and gives him Kafei's Mask, which she made herself, to aid him in his search. Link must speak to various characters and follow a series of steps to reunite Kafei and his fiancée, Anju, and bring them both back to Madame Aroma.

Speak to Madame Aroma in the Drawing Room

To find Madame Aroma's son, Kafei, you must first speak to Madame Aroma in the Drawing Room of the Mayor's Residence in East Clock Town. You can speak to her between 10:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on the First or Second Day. She believes that you are the expert person-finder she hired to locate her son, who disappeared about a month ago. If you agree to help, she will award you with Kafei's Mask, which she made herself, and ask you to wear it and speak to people around Clock Town to learn of Kafei's whereabouts.

Using Kafei's Mask, you can ask Anju, Kafei's fiancée, for information. She will tell you to meet her in the kitchen of the Stock Pot Inn at 11:30 p.m. on the First Day. At the meeting, Anju will tell you that she received a letter from Kafei and will ask you to deposit a letter of her own in a mailbox before 6:00 a.m. on the Second Day.

On the Second Day, follow the Postman to the Laundry Pool at 4:00 p.m. After he delivers a letter to a young boy wearing a mask, follow the boy inside. Speak to the masked boy, who will reveal himself to be Kafei. Kafei will explain that he was turned into a child and will ask you to keep it a secret. He will also give you the Pendant of Memories to deliver to Anju.

On the Third Day, return to Kafei's hideout at the back of the Curiosity Shop in the Laundry Pool. Speak to the owner, who will give you the Keaton Mask and the Special Delivery to Mama. Go to the Milk Bar after 6:00 p.m. and speak to Madame Aroma while wearing Kafei's Mask. Give her the Special Delivery to Mama, and she will reward you with a bottle of Chateau Romani.

Wear Kafei's Mask

To find Madame Aroma's son, Kafei, you must first obtain Kafei's Mask. On the First Day, head to the Mayor's Office in East Clock Town between 10:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. and speak to Madame Aroma. She will assume you are the expert person-finder she hired to locate her son and will give you Kafei's Mask, which she crafted herself.

Now, wearing Kafei's Mask, you can explore Clock Town and speak to its residents to gather information about Kafei's whereabouts. Here are some specific instructions for wearing Kafei's Mask and progressing in your quest:

First Day:

• At 10:00 AM, go to the Mayor's Office in East Clock Town. Speak to Madame Aroma through the door on the right and offer to help find her missing son, Kafei. She will give you Kafei's Mask.
• At 2:10 PM, travel to the Stock Pot Inn to witness the Postman deliver a letter from Kafei to his fiancée, Anju.
• After the Postman leaves at 2:15 PM, speak with Anju at the Stock Pot Inn. She may confuse you with a Goron of the same name and give you a room key.
• After 4:00 PM, speak to Anju again, this time wearing Kafei's Mask. She will instruct you to meet her in the Stock Pot Inn's kitchen at midnight.
• At midnight, meet with Anju in the kitchen. She will give you a letter to send to Kafei.

Second Day:

• Before 9:00 AM, deposit the letter to Kafei in any mailbox in Clock Town, ensuring it's before the postman makes his rounds.
• At 3:00 PM, head to the Laundry Pool. The Postman will arrive at 3:10 PM to deliver a letter to Kafei. While he is distracted, enter the back door of the Curiosity Shop.
• At 4:10 PM, Kafei will return. Confront him to learn the truth about his disappearance. He will give you the Pendant of Memories.
• Give the Pendant of Memories to Anju before 7:00 PM on the Final Day to ensure she stays and waits for Kafei.

Third Day:

• Around noon, return to Kafei's hideout at the back of the Curiosity Shop in the Laundry Pool. Speak to the owner, who will give you the Keaton Mask and the Special Delivery to Mama.
• After 6:00 PM, go to the Milk Bar and speak with Madame Aroma while still wearing Kafei's Mask. Give her the Special Delivery to Mama, and she will reward you with a bottle filled with Chateau Romani, premium milk that grants long-lasting stamina for your magic power.

Speak to Anju at the Stock Pot Inn

To find Madame Aroma's son, Kafei, you must first speak to Anju at the Stock Pot Inn. The Stock Pot Inn is the only commercial "rent-a-room" facility in Clock Town, located in East Clock Town. It is open from 8:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., but guests receive a room key that allows them to come and go as they please.

On the first day, head to the Stock Pot Inn around noon. You will see the Postman deliver a letter to Anju, the innkeeper. Speak to her after the Postman leaves, and she will confuse you with a Goron of the same name who has a reservation for the Knife Chamber room. She will give you the room key, allowing you to enter the Inn more easily.

After 4:00 p.m., speak to Anju while wearing Kafei's Mask. She will ask you to meet her in the kitchen that night. At midnight, she will give you a letter to send to Kafei. You have until 9:00 a.m. on the second day to deposit the letter in any mailbox in Clock Town before the Postman makes his rounds.

On the second day, head to the Laundry Pool at 3:00 p.m. and wait for the Postman to ring the bell for Kafei at 3:10 p.m. While he is distracted, run into the back door of the Curiosity Shop. At 4:10 p.m., Kafei will return, and you can confront him to learn the truth about his disappearance. He will give you the Pendant of Memories, which you can then give to Anju before 7:00 p.m. on the final day to ensure she stays and waits for Kafei.

By speaking to Anju at the Stock Pot Inn and following these steps, you will be able to find Madame Aroma's son, Kafei, and progress in the "Madame Aroma's Search" side quest.

Meet Anju in the kitchen

To find Madame Aroma's son, Kafei, you must first speak to Madame Aroma herself. She can be found inside the Mayor's Residence in East Clock Town, home to her husband, Mayor Dotour. She has her own office right beside her husband's and can usually be found there between 10:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on the First or Second Day. She believes that Link is an expert person-finder she hired and tasks him with finding her son, Kafei, who has gone missing. She awards Link with Kafei's Mask, which he can use to ask people for information about Kafei.

With the help of Kafei's fiancée, Anju, Link can track down Kafei. Anju is the innkeeper at the Stock Pot Inn and can be found in the kitchen. To meet her in the kitchen, Link must first speak to Anju at the front desk of the inn. After 4:00 PM, speak to Anju wearing Kafei's Mask, and she will tell you to meet her in the kitchen at night. At 12:00 AM, meet with Anju in the kitchen, and she will give you a letter to deliver to Kafei.

On the Final Day, Kafei leaves a letter for his mother with his trusted friend, the Man from the Curiosity Shop. Link can deliver this letter in two ways. He can either deliver it directly to Madame Aroma in the Milk Bar, or he can give it to the Postman, who will deliver it to Madame Aroma. If Link delivers the letter himself, Madame Aroma rewards him with a new bottle filled with Chateau Romani. If he gives it to the Postman, he receives the Postman's Hat instead as the Postman is relieved of his duties due to the impending moon fall.

Mail Anju's letter to Kafei

To mail Anju's letter to Kafei, you must first meet with Anju in the kitchen of the Stock Pot Inn. She will ask you to deposit the letter in a mailbox before 9:00 AM on the Second Day, as she is too frightened to do it herself.

You can deposit the letter in any mailbox in Clock Town. After mailing the letter, you can follow the Postman on the Second Day to watch him deliver it to Kafei at the Laundry Pool just before 4:00 PM.

If you wish to witness the delivery, you must enter the back door of the Curiosity Shop at 3:00 PM and wait for the Postman to ring the bell for Kafei at 3:10 PM. Once the Postman is distracted, enter the back door of the Curiosity Shop and speak to Kafei to learn the truth about his disappearance.

Mailing Anju's letter to Kafei is a crucial step in the "Reuniting Kafei and Anju" side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. It is also part of Madame Aroma's Search, a lengthy side quest in which Link helps Madame Aroma find her missing son, Kafei. By agreeing to help and wearing Kafei's Mask, Link can gather information about Kafei's whereabouts and eventually reunite him with his fiancée, Anju.
