The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Epsiode 20

Where art thou sword? I spent part of this episode trying to find a clue as to the whereabouts of my sword. This eventuated into nothing, the sword remains missing at the start of the episode and at the end... I did manage to get back to the Bean Seller and buy two beans though. So, theres that.. I used one of the beans at the Doggy Race Track, the plant grew to full size immediately because of the rainfall that was happening at the Ranch! Apparently the Cows of the Ranch are all gone! Romani has lost her mind and her words. She refuses to communicate and only looks back at me with a dumbfounded look upon her face. She's no help at all. Something clearly happened at the Ranch which has everyone in a tizzy. Creamia is not making much sense either, she did however manage to commicate to me that the Romani Cows have all gone. Whatever the case, the fact is my Horse Epona remains locked up in the stables and no matter what I do I cannot get it out. Turns out I will need the horse to jump the fence to get to Ocean Road. Without the horse I am boned... Meanwhile back in Clocktown everything proceeds as normal but with one difference. Upon leaving the town gates a Guard gave me a hint as to the possible wehereabouts of my sword. Apparently the Curiosity shop may hold the next secret, the only issue is that the Curiosity shop doesn't open its doors until 10 pm. I went back to Romani Ranch and allowed time to pass until night came. I was hoping this would change the events but not much changed. Romani was now asleep and completely unresponsive. I ventured back outside to see if anything had changed and nothing did so I decided it best to head back to Clocktown to save game...
