The Jam Session is an event from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. It is a musical recital between Japas and Zora Link in Japas's bedroom at Zora Hall. The Jam Session actually began prior to Mikau's death, and consequently, Link does not know what to play at first. To find the score of Mikau and Japas's last Jam Session, Link must go into Tijo and Mikau's bedroom and use the Hookshot to get himself to the tree on the upper floor, where he will find Mikau's journal. As the journal is written in Zora script, Link can only read it while in Zora form. After learning the correct notes for the Jam Session from the journal, Link heads back to Japas's room and takes out the Guitar of Waves. Japas then asks Link to participate in a Jam Session.

  • Japas begins the Jam Session with the notes Right-C, Right-C, Down-C, A.
  • Then Link plays his first set of notes from Mikau's journal: A, Down-C, Right-C, A.
  • Japas continues with Left-C, Left-C, Right-C, Down-C.
  • Link ends the session with Down-C, Right-C, Left-C, Down-C.

The song they play is actually the basis for the "Ballad of the Wind Fish", which Link can later play for Toto in the Milk Bar.

If Link plays this song to Evan while not wearing the Zora Mask, he will be impressed, and claim the work as his own. He then rewards Link with a Piece of Heart as thanks. If Link tries to play the song while wearing the Zora Mask, Evan will ignore the song and get mad at him for writing a song behind his back, saying that he himself should be the one writing all the songs as the bandleader.
