Sakon's Hideout is a location in Ikana from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. When doing the sidequest involving Anju and Kafei, Link, along with Kafei, infiltrate the hideout on the Final Day to retrieve the Sun Mask.
[edit] Overview
This lair consists of eight rooms, two of which have Deku Babas, one of which contains a Wolfos, and three containing block puzzles. You play as Link and Kafei. As you go from room to room, the Sun Mask is being transported on a conveyor belt. At the end of the conveyor belt is a hole. If the mask falls in the hole, Link and Kafei lose the mask to Sakon.
The Hideout (only fully playable during the night of the Final Day and after completing the beginning of the Anju/Kafei sidequest) has six puzzle-type rooms and one very new feature: Play trades off between Link and Kafei, a first for Zelda players (this would be explored more in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker). As play switches, Link is given the tasks of fighting Deku Babas or Wolfos in three successive rooms, and Kafei is given three block/switch/timing puzzle rooms. Kafei must move the blocks over either a pressure switch (to open the next door), a gold switch (to slow the movement of the conveyor belt), and avoid stepping on red switches (which accelerate the conveyor belt).
If Link and Kafei fail, the hideout's doors seal shut. Link and Tatl must use the Ocarina of Time to escape or reset the three-day cycle, but not before Tatl tells Kafei that Anju has already fled to Romani Ranch and that he should try to find any way out possible.
If Link and Kafei succeed and retrieve the Sun's Mask, Kafei runs to Clock Town and Link and Tatl witness a hasty and short wedding ceremony between Anju and Kafei in the Employees Only Room of the Stock Pot Inn, after which Link receives a Couple's Mask for his collection.
