If you ask any Zelda fan what’s their favorite side quest in all the franchise, it’ll probably be any of Majora’s Mask’s side quests, more specifically, Anju and Kafei’s side quest.
As we all know, Majora’s Mask is a side quest based game. You can’t beat the game without doing the mandatory ones that lead you to the four main dungeons, but the true magic and charm of the game lays within the residents of Clock Town and their problems ready to be solved by you. It’s kind of a shame that you can’t solve and/or help everyone during a single 3-day cycle (because some side quest’s required times conflict with one another), but your reliable Bombers’ Notebook keeps track of all the people you’ve helped on your past cycles.
Regarding Anju and Kafei’s side quest, it’s recognized as one of the lengthiest and probably hardest to get around your first time playing blindly (if you like to play on your first run of any game blindly like me), because each little requirement has a really specific time to get done.
The first time I saw Kafei go to the post box with his Keaton mask, my curiosity was peaked because seeing a young boy with a yellow fox mask just check the post box and then running away to the Laundry Pool was just odd. But I decided to let it pass until I had beaten the first dungeon, little did I know that he was part of a bigger and heartwarming side quest.
Playing through this side quest without a guide was HARD. Really hard. I had little to no idea what to do and had to redo it several times, it was kind of a trial and error thing for me. But when I finally got it done “right”, I was really satisfied. My second time playing, now with a guide, was such a breeze! I found out of easier ways to get through it but still, the always handy Inverted Song of Time made everything less cardiac because time went half as slow. (Because of the Scarecrow I had the knowledge of the Inverted Song of Time but I always messed it up and never used it because I got frustrated…)
But in the end, I got to understand why this side quest was so renowned by many fans, it definitely tugged on my heartstrings. It was difficult the first time, but I would play it many times more now that I have an idea of what I’m doing just to see Anju and Kafei happy together.

I totally agree with you.And also I think Nintendo wanted us to notice that boy with the Keaton Mask(It refers to Pikachu,isn’t it?).Unfortunately I couldn’t play Majora but I saw gameplays and it feels so good to see those lovers together before the moon fall even if you are not playing ypurself.I can’t tell the happiness you fell when the wedding scene takes place.You are just…happy for them.

This is one of the best Zelda moments ever! Not to mention that you have to complete this quest several times doing different things, in order to get the full experience. While the Couple Mask is the ultimate reward, there are several other masks and pieces of heart that you get while completing this side quest. And I do agree on the timing: if you miss an event, you failed the quest!

I just wanted the mask, so I searched about how obtain it to complete all the game. Anyway, it was so difficult and boring to make, because like you say, you need making it in specific day, in specific time and in specific place. and you can´t change the hour, just you can making it to pass faster than normal, just that. This quest taked me a lot of attemps, and I felt angry a lot of times when I was failing, but when I did all the specific petition, and seeing the final video, I felt so good, like I made two real persons happy (but they are codes in the program). I just have passed this game 3 times, and two of those three times, I have made this love petition just to see this couple happy together again.
