When you exit the forest, you will be in Hyrule Field. An owl named Kaepora Gaebora will stop you and explain the map subscreen to you. Anyway, continue forward to a drawbridge. As a kid, you can only enter during the day. If it turns to night, wait patiently. The Stalchildren come out to bug you, but they are quite easy to ignore or beat. When it's daytime, enter the market and go through the door on the side. This area is more important when you're an adult, but you can enter if you need rupees and to get a *Golden Skulltula*. Once inside the market, you can explore by entering doors, talking to people and playing games. For your final Deku Seed Upgrade, enter the Shooting Gallery and win for the *Biggest Deku Seed Bag*. The Bombchu Bowling and Mask Shop won't be open for you yet, so that’s basically it for games. Find a small redheaded girl who says her dad went to the castle to deliver milk but hasn't come back yet. Take the path where you can see a castle in the distance. The owl will appear again to explain time passing by in some areas and not in others. A guard is blocking the area and you can't enter. You have to wait to see the redhead again anyway (her name is Malon). Exit to the market and she’s gone. Come back to the castle area and wait a day or so (time passes here, but not in the market). Bang into the tree at night for a *Golden Skulltula*. Malon appears by the vines on the wall across from the tree. When she appears, she'll give you an egg. Climb the vines beside her and fall down the hole further up. Enter the door and you're on the other side of the gate. Wait until nighttime to sneak past the guards as they can't see as well. When it's nighttime, walk along the side of the hill a bit, then walk up to where a couple of flowers are. Walk across to a stone portion of the wall. Climb up and jump down into the water (strangely, the guards don't react to water splashing!) Make your way around and you'll see some boxes and a guy sleeping. This is a dead end until your egg hatches. When it does, equip it to a C-button, then stand next to the sleeping guy (Talon). Take out the rooster and he'll wake up (make sure you're standing slightly above him near his head.) Talk to him and he'll run back to the ranch. Pull the box closest to you all the way forward and then push it all the way onto a ledge. Pull the other box all the way forward and push it on top of the other one (you'll hear a chime.) Climb on top of the box and jump over to a little hole in the wall. Crawl through to the Castle Courtyard. This is fun! Sneak past the guards in each little area of the courtyard. Make your way to a new room with nice music playing. Go forward to a girl looking out the window. Behold Princess Zelda in all her glory :o) She'll talk to you about Ganandorf and all about Hyrule's legend, plus give you a letter to show the guard blocking Death Mountain's entrance. When she's finished talking, you can exit, but do you really want to go through all the guards again? I didn't think so and neither did the game's creators, because Zelda's guardian, Impa, will lead you out of the castle and also teach you your first Ocarina song, Zelda's Lullaby. This song is quite important in the game. When she leads you outside, she'll mention that the Spiritual Stone of Fire is in Goron City and she'll show you Death Mountain, where the city is located. Before we go up Death Mountain, we need a few things. First, go southwest to Lon Lon Ranch. Enter the door on the left and you'll meet up with Talon again. You can play the cucco game with him to get your first *Empty Bottle* (see the mini- game section for details.) You can also go to the door on the right from the ranch entrance and talk to Ingo, a disgruntled employee :o) Finally, enter the ranch and go in the fenced-in area. Talk to Malon and she shows you Epona, the horse you will use in the future. Stand in front of her and pull out the ocarina. She should teach you Epona's Song. If that doesn't work, talk to her a few times and then try again. While here, enter the stone building in the back of the ranch. Inside, move the boxes to the right and crawl through the hole to collect a *Heart Piece*. Within the ranch, bang into the tree off Talon’s area for another *Golden Skulltula*. Exit to Hyrule Field and go back to Kokiri Forest. Climb up to the higher level and into the Lost Woods. Go right to where you got your seed upgrade and drop down in that area. Stand on the tree stump to summon two Skull Kids. Use your Fairy Ocarina and mimic the notes they play. You may need to write them down as they become more complicated. Continue playing until you win a *Heart Piece*. Climb back up and continue left (facing the target behind you), right, left, forward, left, right to the Sacred Forest Meadow. Beat the Wolfos to open the gate and go through the maze (go right, left, left, right, right, forward over grass, left over a little water hole, right, left over more grass and up the stairs). Watch out for the scrubs along the way. Finally, you're with Saria! Talk to her and she'll teach you Saria's Song. When you're finished there, use the ladder against the maze and walk across the top of the maze to exit out easily. Come back inside the Lost Woods and go left to find the Skull Kid. Stand on the stump and play Saria’s Song to him to get another *Heart Piece*. Exit the Lost Woods and Kokiri Forest to Hyrule Field. Go to the right of the market entrance over a small bridge to Kakariko Village. Cute town :o) Here you’ll talk to many people and discover many things. Before using Zelda’ letter, let’s do some errands for neat goodies. You may be able to collect a *Heart Piece* now. Climb the tower’s ladder to the top and hold Z while hugging the left side. If you sidestep and push the Control Stick right, you should dangle and pull yourself up to a roof. Talk to the guy there for the Heart Piece. If you fail, you can wait until you’re an adult. Just remember to come back for it! Now, talk to the lady by the cucco pen to start a cucco search. Check out my Side Quests page for a list of where and how to find all 7 cuccos. Put them all in the pen, then talk to the lady to get a second *Empty Bottle*. Next, head outside the village to Hyrule Field and wait until the wolf howls to indicate nighttime. Head back inside and into the graveyard in the back area by the cucco pen. Follow Dampé around and have him dig at each soft soil spot (it makes a scratching sound when you walk over it). A random spot will turn up a *Heart Piece*. You may also get rupees or absolutely nothing. At 10 rupees per dig, have a lot of cash on hand. Now, a series of Golden spiders are waiting in the village. One *Golden Skulltula* sits on the back of the brick structure in the middle of the village at night. Another *Golden Skulltula* is on the tower’s ladder. Another *Golden Skulltula* waits on the left side of the House of Skulltula. Another *Golden Skulltula* hides in the tree near the village entrance. Bang into it to make it fall. Another *Golden Skulltula* sits on the back of the house left of the path to Death Mountain. Finally, collect bugs in one of your empty bottles (a rock between House of Skulltula and Impa’s house has some under it) and drop it on the patch of soft soil on the left side of the graveyard to get the last *Golden Skulltula* for now. Here’s a trick to preserve bugs. After dumping the bugs on the soil, scoop up the leftover ones crawling around to save a batch for the next soil spot (believe me, there are more). Every ten tokens nets you a prize at the House of Skulltula, so enter it and talk to the guy who is no longer a spider to get the *Adult Wallet*, which holds a maximum of 200 rupees. When you're ready to move on, go up the stairs left of the village entrance to a guard. Show him Zelda's Letter and he'll open the gate for you. He mentions the Happy Mask Shop and the proper shield you should wear. Okay, first we'll get the shield. Go to the graveyard near the Cucco Lady at night. Find the grave with flowers in front of it and pull the gravestone back. Drop down the hole and open the chest to get the *Hylian Shield*. You should only equip it if you're on Death Mountain, because as a kid, there isn't really any other use for it. Exit the grave and go to the back of the graveyard. Stand on the Triforce symbol and play Zelda's Lullaby. The gravestone explodes from lightning, revealing a hole. Drop down it. Shoot all the bats to open the door. Enter it and carefully pass the poison water and the Redeads. At the end, read the poem and song on the wall. You've learned the Sun's Song. It's quite useful in speeding up time and freezing the Redeads and Gibdos (see enemy's list.) While in the graveyard, pull out the second gravestone left of the path to the one you just entered and enter that grave. Play the Sun’s Song to freeze the Re-Dead and defeat it, then stand at the back wall and play the Sun’s Song again to collect a *Heart Piece*. Exit the grave and go back to the market during the day. If you entered the Happy Mask Shop before, there was only a guy and a sign inside. Now, it's open for business. Borrow the Keaton Mask from the owner. Before handing over the mask, play the Sun’s Song within the Market to make it night. Hey, look at that! You’re inside the market at night (*chuckle*). Look for a grey dog hanging around the left side of the window where the guy is looking out. Touch him to have him follow you and head into the back alley. Look for two doors close together and enter the left one. Talk to the lady in blue and she will reward you with a *Heart Piece* for finding her dog. Now, go back to the guard in Kakariko Village. He'll buy the mask from you. You can go back to the market now and pay back the rupees, or just do it later. If you want to trade more masks, see Young Link's Trading Sequence. When the gate is opened for you, enter. You're now on Death Mountain. Make your way up to a cave blocked by a big boulder. That thing in front of it is a Goron. Aren't they cute? Continue up the mountain and go right, past the red flag. Watch out for the rolling Goron! Go through an entrance up ahead to Goron City. When you carefully walk across the rope to the centre platform, Navi points out that the little stand there looks like it's missing something. The Goron there will tell you about "Big Brother." His real name is Darunia, and he's a pretty big guy. Let's talk to him. Make your way down or jump down (losing some health) to the bottom floor. Stand on the carpet that Navi turns green on and play Zelda's Lullaby to open the door. Enter and, whoa, big dude there! When you talk to him, he seems gruff. You should cheer him up! Stand in front of him and play Saria's Song (if Navi says, "Do you want to talk to Saria?" say no and maybe stand closer). When you play the song, you'll see a cool cinema of Darunia dancing! He he he :o) When he's finished grooving, he'll give you the *Goron's Bracelet*, which allows you to pick up and throw Bomb Flowers. Exit Goron City (go to the top floor). Go right from the entrance. Pick up the Bomb Flower and throw it over the fence. You'll see a cinema of the bomb dropping and, if your throw is accurate, the boulder will blow up, revealing a cave. Go down to the cave and enter Dodongo's Cavern. Dodongo is a dragon that is preventing the Gorons from eating minerals inside. They'll starve if they can't get their food, so let's help them out and you'll surely be rewarded!
