I wound up spending a lot of time on side quests. In particular, there's one quite involved quest line concerning a missing child named Kafei. He's one of the first characters you'll probably meet when you start the game, because as soon as you leave the clock tower on day 1 he will be visible placing a letter in a mailbox while disguised in a keaton mask.

Kafei's mother asks Link to look for him, and by following a chain of timed events that covers all three days, Link is able to meet him and learn that he has been cursed to look like a child by Skull Kid and then had his ceremonial wedding mask stolen by the same thief we need to stop for the Blast Mask and large bomb bag. He then writes a letter that we can deliver to his mother in exchange for a second bottle - on the night of the third day, while she stays in town and waits for him even as most others evacuate. Well, I say most, but I've found a noteworthy number of characters already who stay behind for one reason or another.

We will return to these characters later! First we need to make some plot progress.
