This room has only a few platforms to keep you from falling into the bottomless pit below (which will respawn you at the beginning of the room). Wait until the platform has risen once more, then jump down and enter the newly opened door. At this point, fly over to the floor switch quickly and remove the Deku Mask to press it down. Now wait until the platform has fallen and then risen again. Put on the Deku Mask and dive into the flower. Hit the switch and run to the Deku Flower. You should easily get enough distance to make it. Wait for the platform to go back down, then jump over to the door. Quickly dive back into the flower and fly to the pillar to press down the switch and open the door.

Let the platform go all the way down and bonk it to rise it back up. Once you’re close to the skinny pillar, put on the Deku Mask and quickly dive into the flower on the orange tile (the closest one).

While it may be too much to ask that the Garo be revisited any time soon, their haunting presence in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is certainly a memorable one, and their story deserves some recognition.Hit the switch and run out to the middle of the floor. The story of the Ikana and the Garo is meant to be a sort of cautionary tale that hatred only begets hatred. While sad, this story keeps with the theming of Majora's Mask, a very somber sequel that often reflects on death and how desperate acts create additional suffering. While not as tear-jerking as Majora's Mask's best quests, the downfall of an entire civilization is certainly very depressing. The Garo attacked and, in Sharp's desperation, became their undoing. All in all, it is a very tragic story about how hatred can breed eternal torment. The Garo, having invaded Ikana as enemy spies, are unable to now move on thanks to the curse while the Ikana are eternally tormented to continue their war. Thus, the conflict was born anew, with the forces of the two sides now locked in a war in undeath. Due to their presence throughout the Ikana Kingdom, it is clear that they were very skilled ninjas and infiltrated deeply into the Ikana Canyon at the time of their deaths. After a defeat, the Garo will always commit ritual suicide, either by flame or by a bomb, following their laws. Befitting their roles as spies, the Gero spirits are very knowledgable about the land of the Ikana and divulge what they know when bested in combat by Link. The spirits of the Garo manifest in places where a " thirst for blood is looming all around." They may only be visualized when Link is wearing the Garo's Mask, sadly one of the least useful masks in Majora's Mask. However, by the time Link arrives, the only inhabitants are the undead and spirits, with the Garo being no exception. The Garo seen in Majora's Mask were originally spies sent to observe the Ikana Kingdom. Possibly keeping with the theory that Majora's Mask symbolizes the stages of grief, the Garo's haunting appearances and tragic lore lean well into the grim atmosphere that permeates the rest of the accursed Ikana Canyon. For those exploring the Ikana Canyon, the Garo are sure to be an intimidating and intriguing force despite their relatively few appearances. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask had many creepy and mysterious characters but some of the most obscure was the race of hooded ninjas known as the Garo.
