General Information
Anju's Grandmother lives in the lower bedroom of the Stock Pot Inn in Clock Town. While confined to her wheelchair, she serves as a storyteller. Unfortunately, her stories are unbearably long and the listener will often fall asleep in the middle of them. She also appears to be losing her memory, as she often refers to her granddaughterAnju and Link by the name of Tortus, her deceased son and Anju's father.[1]
However, at one point in the storyline, it seems as if Anju's Grandmother has been faking her senility all along, in order to keep from eating Anju's meals, which apparently are made poorly.[2]
On the final day, she flees to Romani Ranch with Anju and her mother.
The Bombers' Notebook
Anju's Grandmother is one of twenty characters in Majora's Mask who has an entry in the Bombers' Notebook. Anju's Grandmother's entry can be completed at anytime between 8am and 6pm on the first or second day.
In order to complete the entry, all that is required is to stay awake during each of her two stories and answer a question at the end. The reward is one Piece of Heart for each story. However, in order to stay awake during the two stories, Link will need to wear the All-Night Mask while listening to the tales.
The Stories
- The first story is the shorter of the two and takes two hours to tell. At the end, Anju's Grandmother will ask when the Clock Tower opens. Link must answer "On the eve of the carnival" to receive a Piece of Heart.
- The second story will take all of the time between when the story begins and the next morning. Thus, if the story begins at 6 am, it will not end until 6 am the next day. After listening to the story with the All-Night Mask, Anju's Grandmother will ask what the people do to call the Four Giants. Link must answer "I dunno" to receive another Piece of Heart.
In the Manga
Anju's grandmother is depicted much the same as she is in the game, with yet another hint that she may be faking her senility. This is ignored by Anju's Mother, who swiftly forces her out the door as they make their way to Romani Ranch.
Ocarina of Time
Anju's Grandmother's parallel character in Hyrule is Granny, the old Potion Shop Hag, who runs her shop in Kakariko Village.
Trivia
- Speaking to Anju's Grandmother with Kafei's Mask on would result in her saying "Oh, Dotour... If they pick on you, you come tell teacher, OK?" This may imply that she was a schoolteacher when Mayor Dotour was in school. Every other mask results in her normal response.
