  • With Tears of the Kingdom coming soon, this might be my last chance to get a life for a long long time...so that's why I decided to get a life in every Zelda game.

    In Majora's Mask, you can actually pass time as the Deku Scrub by talking to the scarecrow at the shop in West Clock Town. I know this, because when I replayed it I had to make dinner, file my taxes, help the Amish build a barn, and take the provisional driving exam before picking my controller back up.

    It is possible to get a life in Majora’s Mask entirely in the first cycle, before turning back time.
    -One heart piece is at the clock tower where you showed it.
    -Give the Title Deed to the hand in the toilet for a second one.
    -You can get one by beating the Deku Scrub minigame (in a hole next to the Great Fairy’s Fountain) on all three days.
    -It’s difficult, but you can get one from the Postman’s game of counting exactly 10 seconds.

    You can get 4 heart pieces, and therefore a life, as a Deku scrub before having to reset to the first day. Deku Scrub mini-game in North clock town, playing the postman's 10 second game, trading the moons tear for the land deed and, finally, giving the land deed to the hand in the toilet of stock pot inn. I do this every time I play the original and 3ds remake.

    But, in most games, a life isn't health, but a 1-UP. The closest thing to a 1-UP in Zelda games, other than the 1-UPs in Zelda II, is a full health potion. It fully restores your health, as if to revive you, and therefore you need to see how fast you can get a full health potion, rather than a heart container, which merely extends your current life.
    Alternatively, you could also see how fast you can get a fairy bottle, which also counts as a life.

This takes no stamina and is pretty fast for when you don't yet have a horse or any transportation, maybe about as fast as a horse trotting

    2. Trade title deed with toilet hand
    3. Win the deku scrub mini-game in North Clock Town on all 3 days.

    In Majora's Mask, you can get a second piece of heart in the first 3 day cycle. There's a hole in North Clock town you can use Deku Link to fly over a fence and fall into. Completing the Minigame there for all 3 days yields a heart piece

      And you can get a third by playing the timing game with the postman and a fourth by trading the deed with the hand in the toilet on the final night. If you aren't opposed to exploits you can also get the one on the tree in the swamp by escaping clock town for a fifth. I always like to start get an extra heart (and the bomb bag and wallet) as deku link before the first cycle ends. Absolutely no reason to waste 25 minutes standing still doing nothing!

    It's actually possible to do it faster in Majora's Mask by doing the Deku Scrub minigame inside the wooden fence near the Great Fairy Fountain. You just need to collect all the rupees on all three days(which you have to wait out anyway) and they'll give you a heart piece.
    Then collect the slide one.

    And with the Clock Tower one that's four piece without ever needing to leave town.

    Tears of the Kingdom (with as few spoilers as possible):
    Follow Zelda into a dark spooky place where you meet a mummy who destroys your sword and takes 27 of your lives. Zelda falls down a hole and we end up getting saved by a disembodied hand. Then we appear in the sky where we go to not-the-Temple-of-Time to meet a furry ghost who tells us to go to all the shrines on the island. After getting three of them and learning how to make war crime machinee we go in the Temple to find a Tear of the Kingdom and get time travel abilities from Zelda. Then we find a door that requires us to have another life. So we go to the last shrine on the island and complete it before coming back and getting a -Stamina Vessel- life from the goddess statue.
