What is preserved when playing the Song of Time?
In The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, gameplay spans three in-game days; however, completing everything necessary within just those three days is impossible, and so one must regularly play the Song of Time to time-travel back to the beginning of the three-day cycle. In doing so, some progress is kept, but many other things are reset.
