Save statues were located:1 in the town1 in each location (4 total)1 outside of every dungeon entrance (4 total)Each statue had 2 functions, it allowed you to save suspend your game and come back to it later or have you warp to it when you played 'The Song Of Soaring' learned after activating the first statue out of the town.Once you quit the game and continue your suspended save the save file is deleted so you have to suspend save again to keep playing on that 'cycle' that you were just playing on. If you played the song of time then all of your stuff would reset (rupees, items, dungeons, events) and you'd be taken back to the starting point of Clock Town. You do however get to keep persistent items.My only guess is that these new statues allow you to make a checkpoint that you can reload whenever you want, sure that would be easier but honestly Majora's Mask was the perfect curve of difficulty for me even with things like trying to climb Snowhead or locate the Zora Eggs, if you can't do that in the 3 days (Even with the song of slow time!) then you're bad at the game and should be punished for it.
