How to Get the Postman’s Hat in Majora's Mask: A Comprehensive Guide

Introduction

If you’re playing Okochi no Kuruma (Majora's Mask) and are looking to obtain the Postman’s Hat, you have come to the right place. This guide will walk you through the steps necessary to complete the Kafei sidequest and obtain this unique accessory. The Postman’s Hat is not only a key component of the game’s storyline but also useful for uncovering hidden items within mailboxes, making it well worth the effort.

Getting Started with the Kafei Sidequest

To begin the Kafei sidequest, the first thing you need is the Mask of Truth. This can be acquired from Madame Aroma, who is located in the Mayor's Office in East Clocktown. Speak to her to receive the Kafei Mask.

Completing Key Steps for the Postman’s Hat

Proceed to the Stock Pot Inn during the evening of the first night (or skip to an appropriate time). Wear the Kafei Mask and speak to Anju in the kitchen. She will ask you to mail a letter before dawn. Make sure not to save the story immediately after the Bombshop Lady appears on the first night of the game. If you have a room key, use it to enter the front door of the Stock Pot Inn. If not, employ a Deku flower to fly to the second-floor entrance. Attain the letter from Anju and deliver it to any mailbox before the dawn. This step is crucial for progressing the sidequest. On the second day during the afternoon, the Postman will deliver a letter to the laundry area of the Curiosity Shop in South Clocktown. Once you receive the note, enter the shop and speak to the owner. Be prepared to receive the Pendant of Memories and, if necessary, a Keaton Mask. On the third day, return to the Curiosity Shop laundry area and speak to the shop owner inside. He will give you a Priority Mail, which is a critical item for obtaining the Postman’s Hat. This Priority Mail must be given to the Postman. The final step is to deliver the Priority Mail to the Postman. You can find him standing near the town gate, usually upon the Post Office. Once you deliver it, the Postman will thank you and reward you with the Postman’s Hat.

Final Notes and Utility of the Postman’s Hat

Though the Postman’s Hat itself is largely useless, its primary functionality is to check mailboxes. Most mailboxes will only contain a few rupees or 1-5 rupees, but one special mailbox will contain a Heart Container. In the latter stages of the game, the Postman’s Hat becomes even more useful, as you can exchange all the masks you have collected for a special prize.

Conclusion

Finding the Postman’s Hat in Majora’s Mask may seem like a challenging sidequest, but completing it will not only enrich your experience but also provide a functional item that will assist you in your journey. By following these steps carefully, you can successfully obtain the Postman’s Hat and progress through the game with a clearer understanding of the story and additional in-game benefits.
