Exploring
Hyrule - A Long and Useful Journey
Lon-Lon Ranch
Allies here include:
Talon:
He
runs a game in the House where, for a R10 fee, try to win a Bottle full
of Lon-Lon Milk. You have to pick out three special chickens called
Super Cuccos from among normal Cuccos. You can try again for R5.
If you run out of Lon-Lon Milk, you can buy another Bottle full for R30.
Ingo:
This
disgruntled stable hand wants to be in charge of the ranch instead of the
lazy Talon. Watch out for him later on.
Malon:She
is tending the horses in the Corral. Her best friend is the red foal,
Epona. She will teach you Epona's Song so you can tame the horse.
Lon-Lon
Cows: These bovines appear practically everywhere to help you
out. If you play Epona's Song for them, they will refill your supply
of Lon-Lon Milk.
Foes here include:
Gold
Skulltula: You may get 2 of the
4 here at this time. One is in the tree near the House. Another
is behind the shed at the Corral. One is on the House's bedroom window,
but you can't reach. An-other won't appear until later.
Guays:These
crows appear at night. Slash before they can peck you. Their
razor-sharp beaks dam-age you one Heart Container per hit! These
purple birds are very common in later areas.
Items here include:
Hearts
Rupees
Deku Seeds
Skull Tokens
Bottle: This stores lots of nifty stuff. You may get one
from Talon full of Lon-Lon Milk.
Lon-Lon
Milk: This tasty milk is found on Lon-Lon Ranch or throughout
Hyrule. A Bottle full costs R30. Each of the two drinks per
Bottle restores 5 Hearts.
Heart
Piece 2: There is a hidden room in the Tower behind the crates.
This is there, in a bundle of hay.
Important locations here
include:
House: This is
where Malon and Talon sleep. Talon's Game will get you a Bottle full
of Lon-Lon Milk. At night, a Gold Skulltula is on the high window.
Bash the nearby tree to find another.
Stables: Two
Cows and Ingo are here no matter what. The horses are also here at
night.
Corral: This
is where Epona and the horses are by day, with Malon and Epona at the center.
At night, a Gold Skulltula is behind the wooden shed at the corner.
Tower: Inside
this are three cows and six crates. Move them to find Heart Piece
2 in a room.
New Ocarina song:
Epona's Song: Malon's mother composed this song. It will
draw Epona immediately to your side. It also convinces Lon-Lon Cows
to refill your supply of Lon-Lon Milk. It is C-up, C-left, C-right,
C-up, C-left, C-right. Remember this later on!
Area strategies include:
If it is day when you arrive, you can complete
several things unavailable at night. First among them is a mini-game
involving Talon. From the entrance, enter the house on your left
and toss the Cuccos into the gap by the stairs. Then, when you play
the game with Talon, you can complete it much easier, and it's not cheating.
Talon jokingly asks you to marry Malon and gives you a Bottle of Lon-Lon
Milk in any case. If you enter the stables across the way, you meet
a disgruntled stable hand named Ingo who wants to be in charge of the ranch.
If you enter the large, grassy field with
all the horses, there should be a tree immediately on your left.
You can bash it and reveal a Gold Skulltula, what should be your fifth.
Go into the walls of the corral and you will find Malon standing near a
red foal and singing. When you get close, the foal, called Epona,
will run off, scared. When Malon asks you to sing with her, pull
out the Fairy Ocarina and she will teach you Epona's Song. This tune
has a temporary calming effect on the horse, one you will need in the future
to ride her.
If you come back at night, Talon and Malon
are asleep in their bed, and Ingo is still working. If you venture
into the corral, you will find several flocks of evil crows called Guays.
You should fend off any of these birds that fly into you while you head
for the storage tower. You can pick up a Gold Skulltula from the
back of the Corral shed along the way. Inside the tower, you can
move around six crates to reveal a small tunnel. Take the Heart Piece
from the secret room and head out of Lon-Lon Ranch to the bridge from Kokiri
Forest.
Navi is by now telling you to go see Saria.
To do that, you will have to traverse a strange forest known as the Lost
Woods. Talking to Kokiri will inform you that she is waiting in "the
usual place," a meadow on the far side of the Lost Woods. The entrance
you need is the log tunnel on top of the hill above Kokiri Forest.
From the bridge, head left, by Mido's House, and clamber up onto the ledge
you see behind the house. Climb the vines there and you can finally
run up to the desired log tunnel entrance to the Lost Woods.
Lost Woods I
Allies here include:
Deku
Scrub: If you get 3 bulls-eyes in a row, he'll give you
the nifty Bullet Bag from his perch.
Skull
Kids: These kids have been lost in here for a long time.
The two at the Double Stump want your participation in their jam session.
Play three of their tunes back correctly for Heart Piece 3. The one
at the Single Stump will give you Heart Piece 4 if you play Saria's Song
for him.
Owl:He
appears twice here. The first time is near the Stone Arch.
The Sacred Forest Meadow is at the end of the Lost Woods. You will
reach it, and Saria, by following the music. He reappears after you
visit Saria. Saria's Song has a strange power, like other songs.
Play your Ocarina even when a staff is not shown. Melodies you know
are recorded on the Quest Status Screen.
Business
Scrubs: These Deku Scrubs sell you nifty items at inflated
prices once you beat them. You can get many of their items for free,
but some may let you carry more of certain stuff
Saria:She
is playing the music permeating the forest. She is sitting on a stump
just below the Forest Temple. Saria's Song lets you talk with her
over long distances.
Foes here include:
Wolfos: This wolf monster appears when you try to enter the
Hedge Maze. Strike while its guard is down or when its back is turned.
You'll soon learn a nifty sword technique that makes beating these guys
a lot easier.
Mad
Scrubs: These red Deku Scrubs are a little trickier to defeat.
When you hit them with their Deku Seeds, chase and slash once. They
inhabit the Hedge Maze.
Items here include:
Hearts
Rupees
Deku Seeds
Bullet
Bag: You get this from the Deku Scrub after getting 3 bulls-eyes
on the Target in a row. Its capacity is 40 Deku Seeds.
Heart
Piece 3: The Skull Kids at the Double Stump give you this if
you can beat their jam session 3 times without quitting.
Heart
Piece 4: Play Saria's Song for the solo Skull Kid to win this.
Deku
Sticks: A Business Scrub near the Wood Bridge will let you carry
up to 20 for R40.
Important locations here
include:
Target: This
is east of where you enter. The Deku Scrub gives you the Bullet Bag
when you get 3 bulls-eyes in a row.
Double Stump: This
is at the south end of the valley below the Target. The Skull Kids
here will give you Heart Piece 3 if you correctly play back 3 of their
tunes.
Stone Arch:
This is north of the area with the Target. The Owl is on a nearby
log. When you get to Goron City, unblock the hidden warp from their
side if you can.
Other important locations
here include:
Pond: This is
east of the Stone Arch. If you had a deeper dive, you could reach
the Rupees and the hidden warp to Zora's River.
Forest Stage:
This hole is northeast of the area with the Pond and marked by butterflies.
Its secret comes from the masks of the Happy Mask Shop in Hyrule Castle
Town, which isn't open yet.
Sacred Forest Meadow:
This
pristine clearing in the north of the Lost Woods is divided into the Hedge
Maze and the Upper Meadow by two staircases and a narrow passage.
Hedge Maze: To
enter this path, you must beat the Wolfos to unbar the gate. Mad
Scrubs are found all along the path. There is a mysterious hole in
the center, but walls surround it.
Upper Meadow: This
is the upper part of the Sacred Forest Meadow. It is connected to
the Hedge Maze by a passage and two staircases. Saria is playing
her Ocarina on the stump below the Forest Temple. Nearby is a mysterious,
hexagonal platform with a Triforce carved into it.
Forest Temple: This
immense dungeon is cursed. The ghostly foes there are way too strong
for you at this point. Besides, you can't get in due to the broken
staircase.
Single Stump:
Play Saria's Song for the Skull Kid in this area west of the entrance to
earn Heart Piece 4.
Bridge Area: This
valley is home to the Wood Bridge. At its south end is a Business
Scrub who will let you carry more Deku Sticks.
A nifty Ocarina song:
Saria's
Song: This lively Kokiri tune lets you talk with Saria when
you're not in the forest. This is quite useful later on. It
also allows you to talk with the forest spirits. Also, any angry
person you meet calms down when he or she hears this song. The tune
is C-down, C-right, C-left, C-down, and C-right, C-left.
Area strategies include:
When you enter this area, you have the choice
of going left, right or straight ahead. Take a left, and you will
find a creature called a Skull Kid playing a tune called Saria's Song.
If you can play along with him, he will become your friend. Going
straight ahead returns you to Kokiri Forest, as will almost all tunnels
with gold light shining in them. Taking a right lets you into a ledge
above a valley, with a target hanging from a tree. Shoot three bulls-eyes
(when you see 100 appear in blue three times) and you will receive the
Bullet Bag from a Deku Scrub.
The stumps at the end of the valley are home
to two more Skull Kids. Play along with three of their original tunes
without quitting and you will earn a third Heart Piece. In the glade
to the north, you will see an arch blocked by boulders and meet the Owl
again. The music in the forest is loudest on the way to Saria, he
says before flying off. Follow the music and you will end up in an
apparent dead-end passage. The way to Saria is through the log tunnel
into the top of the map display in the corner.
You emerge into the first stage of the Sacred
Forest Meadow, a grassy area with spikes block-ing the way ahead.
Approach the gates and you will meet a fierce wolf monster known as a Wolfos.
You can defeat the creature by tricking it into exposing its vulnerable
hindquarters and slashing twice. When you enter the Hedge Maze, you
will have to fend off several Mad Scrubs. When you hit these Deku
Scrub cousins with their own Deku Nuts, you must chase them and slash once
to destroy them. Two Mad Scrubs guard the long passage to the Upper
Meadow, but you can beat them easily.
When you emerge onto the Upper Meadow, you
run to Saria on her tree stump. She feels this place will be very
important for both of you in the future. If you want to talk to her
from far away, just play Saria's Song, which she teaches you then.
After you learn that, head out of the Sacred For-est Meadow and talk to
the Owl again. When he flies off, head back to the single Skull Kid
dancing on the tree stump and play Saria's Song on the stump reserved for
you. He gives you Heart Piece 4 then, bringing you up to 5 Heart
Containers.
That done, you should head down the other
exit from the glade. Head down below the bridge until you reach the
gray stone clock. Defeat the nearby Business Scrub and he offers
to upgrade your Deku Stick capacity for R40. Accept the offer if
you can, or note the location if you can't take the of-fer right now.
When you are done, head out to Hyrule Field via Kokiri Forest and walk
up the right side of the map. Across the river and up the stairs
is the burgeoning small town of Hylians known as Kakariko Village.
Kakariko Village
Allies here include:
Guard:This
man guards the Death Mountain Trail. He is guarding the Gate at the
north end of town. Show him the Letter to open the road. He
says the Bazaar Owner gives you a discount on the Hylian Shield if you
mention him. His son wants a popular mask from Hyrule Castle Town,
but he can't leave his post (ever).
Workers:
These four men work on improving Kakariko Village while their boss, Mutoh,
rests by a tree. Their advice (if you can catch one) is very useful.
Mutoh:
This old man is in charge of the Workers. He hates anyone who takes
entirely too long to do a simple job.
Anju:
This
woman raises seven Cuccos, even though she's allergic to them. Return
them all to the Cucco Pen for a Bottle.
Guru-Guru:
This
man playing a phonograph is trying to compose a tune based on his home,
the Windmill. He likes going around and around a lot. He'll
help you out later.
Man:This
Hylian lives in Impa's House. He tells you to help out Anju.
He hates intruders, but has a soft spot for kids.
Skulltula
Family: This family was transformed into Skulltula due
to their greed. If you get enough Skull Tokens, you can free them.
The central father is the only talkative one until the kids are freed.
They live in the House of Skulltula, just below Impa's House.
Kid
1: This member of the Skulltula Family gives you the Adult's
Wallet when you have 10 Skull Tokens.
Grog:
This strange young man sits under the tree at the front of the village
every night. He says that since all people disgust him, you must
be disgusting, too.
Foes here include:
Gold
Skulltulas: Five of these appear at night. They are at
the Tree, the Climbing Tower, outside the Skulltula House, in the Construction
Site, and behind the House at the Gate. For two of them, it is advised
that you use the Fairy Slingshot.
Items here include:
Hearts
Rupees
Deku Seeds
Skull Tokens
Bottle: Anju will give you this when you return all seven Cuccos
to the Cucco Pen.
Adult's
Wallet: This wallet holds up to R200. Kid 1 gives
you this when you get 10 Skull Tokens. You should have this before
leaving town.
Lon-Lon Milk: There's a Cow inside Impa's House. She'll
refill your supply if you used it between Lon-Lon Ranch and here.
Important locations here
include:
Tree: Mutoh is
here by day. Grog and a Gold Skulltula are here by night. It
is in the west part of town.
Gate: This is
at the north end of town, on top of the hill. Once you show the Guard
the Letter, it opens up. The road beyond is the Death Mountain Trail.
House: The Guard
lives here with his son. You can't get in until later. A Cucco
appears by day. A Gold Skulltula is along the sidewall by the pots
at night.
Empty Shop: This
building is across the road from the House. The shelves inside make
it look like a Potion Shop. The Worker here blocks the back exit.
Impa's House:
This is where Impa used to live. The Man is here. There is
a Cow in a stall with a Heart Piece, but you can't get in right now.
Rupees are upstairs, near the furniture.
Cucco Pen: This
enclosure behind Impa's House is where the Cuccos go. The Anju is
nearby in the day.
Climbing Tower:
A
Gold Skulltula is on the ladder by night. The view from the top is
excellent.
Windmill: This
building draws water from the Well. You can see a door and a Heart
Piece inside, but they're too high to reach. The Guru-Guru lives
here.
Well: If you
could find a way to drain it, you could reach the cave at the bottom.
Its water powers the Windmill.
Construction Site:
This building is under construction. A Worker is here by day.
A Gold Skulltula is on a brick pile by night.
Skulltula House:
The
Skulltula Family lives here. A Cucco is penned up outside by day.
A Gold Skulltula is on a sidewall by night. The children are along
the walls, and the father is in the center.
Red Shop: This
place near the Windmill is a Potion Shop that is closed because its owner
is on vaca-tion. She can brew a potion that refills both Life and
Magic Meters.
Area strategies include:
When you enter the village, be sure to speak
with everybody you can. You can play an Oca-rina song for Guru-Guru,
but none of the ones you know work right now. You can only open the
Death Mountain Gate by showing Zelda's Letter to the Guard at the gate.
There are seven Cuccos scattered around the village in various locations.
Here is a list of where they are and how to get them back to the pen below
Impa's House:
1. The first Cucco is running around near the entrance
from Hyrule Field. Just grab it barehanded and you can carry it home.
2. The second Cucco is running around near the Cucco
pen. Just grab it and throw it in.
3. Bust the crate at the foot of the big stairs
to reveal a third Cucco to carry to the en.
4. The fourth Cucco is running about near the gate
to Death Mountain atop the big staircase.
5. After grabbing #4, go to the building under construction
and glide to the ledge near the House of Skulltula. You can deposit
one or the other, but not both.
6. After grabbing #5, head to the door to the Windmill,
but make sure you have a Cucco first. The first Cucco you get on
the other side is in the valley below the closed-up potion shop.
Toss it over to the main part of Kakariko.
7. In the same area as #6, climb the ladder to find
the final Cucco beside the Windmill.
Return the Cuccos to their pen and you will
earn an Empty Bottle you can put stuff in. You are all done here
during the day, so leave and come back just after sunset. That allows
you to get five Golden Skulltulas, one of which is revealed by bashing
the tree trunk that Grog (the people-hater) is sitting at. Numbers
two and three are on the north side of the House by Death Mountain and
on the south side of the Skulltula House respectively. The next two
are on the Climbing Tower and in the Construction Site (use the Slingshot
for both). When you have all of these, you can go to the House of
Skulltula and get the Giant's Wallet.
You now have three possible
routes to take at this point. You who want to go onward in your quest with
no distractions can go to the Death Mountain Gate and walk through. You
who are into the spooky side of Hyrule can go east of the Cucco Pen to the
Graveyard. You who are into helping people out can go back to Hyrule
Castle Town and visit the Happy Mask Shop. The Happy Mask Trading Sequence
will help you the most, so that shall be covered next.
The Mask Game
Allies now include:
Happy Mask Salesman: This
man runs the Happy Mask Shop in Hyrule Castle Town. He will lend
you Masks that you sell on your own and collect the money when you return.
Chest Master: This man runs the Chest Game in Hyrule Castle
Town. If you get all five Room Keys, you will find Heart Piece 5
in a chest.
Shooting
Gallery Owner: He runs the Shooting Gallery. If you shoot
10 gems with the Fairy Sling-shot, you'll get the Giant Bullet Bag.
Guard: He'll give you R15 for the R10 Keaton Mask. He's
still at his post near the Gate.
Skull Kid: He'll pay R10 for the R20 Skull Mask. He wants
the mask so he'll look more fearsome and so he will not get made fun of
by the other Skull Kids.
Boy:The
Guard's son likes imitating Dampé the Gravedigger. He will
pay all of the R30 required for the Spooky Mask.
Marathon
Runner: This man is chasing rabbits around Hyrule Field.
You must find all three Spiri-tual Stones before you can find him.
He will pay you an amount of money that fills even the largest Wallet in
exchange for the Bunny Hood, which costs R50.
Deku
Scrub Tribe: These Deku Scrubs are peaceful and live at the
Forest Stage. They love some Masks (Skull), and will upgrade your
abilities if you wear them. Others they are okay with (Bunny Hood)
and will give you a lot of Rupees. They hate the Spooky and Keaton
Masks and will chase you off if you show them such masks.
Foes now include:
Stalchildren
Peahats
Peahat Larvae
Items now include:
Rupees
Hearts
Deku Seeds
Small Keys: These allow you to proceed in the Chest Game. An item you'll get
later will help you spot them.
Heart
Piece 5: Beat the Chest Game to win this.
Giant Bullet Bag: This is the reward for beating the Shooting
Gallery. Its capacity is 50 Deku Seeds. No bigger version is
available.
Masks to sell include:
Keaton Mask: This mask shows a popular fox-like character named
Keaton. The Mamamu Yan and Deku Scrub Tribe hate this mask.
The Guard will pay R15 instead of the required 10 for it.
Skull Mask: This mask looks
like the skull of a horned monster. The Deku Scrub Tribe will let
you carry up to 30 Deku Sticks if you show them this. The Skull Kid
will pay you 10 of the needed R20 because he wants to look tougher.
More Masks to sell include:
Spooky
Mask: The Deku Scrub also
hates this item. The Boy will pay you all R30 needed for it so he
can look more like Dampé the Gravedigger.
Bunny Hood: The Deku Scrub Tribe is okay with this Mask.
When you can find the Marathon Run-ner on Hyrule Field at night, he'll
pay you way more than the R50 needed for this mask. This mask makes
you feel in touch with nature and is very cute.
Mask of Truth: The Sheikahs donated this mysterious mask.
While wearing it, you may talk with the weird gray statues called Gossip
Stones that you see in the game. You get it after selling the first
four masks. The Deku Scrub Tribe pities you when you wear it so they
give you a Deku Nut upgrade.
Goron
Mask: This mask looks like a Goron from Death Mountain.
It makes you feel happy and cheerful. The Deku Scrub Tribe is okay
with it.
Zora Mask: This mask looks like a Zora from Zora's Domain.
It makes you look cool while diving. The Deku Scrub Tribe is okay
with it.
Gerudo Mask: This mask looks
like a Gerudo from Gerudo Valley. You feel like a thief while wearing
it. The Deku scrub Tribe is okay with it.
Locations to visit now
include:
Happy Mask Shop:
All eight masks come from here. It's to the right of the North Gate.
Chest Game: This
is to the right of the road from the Rupee House. The game is only
open at night. Each game costs R10.
Shooting Gallery:
This
is to the left of the North Gate. You can win the Giant Bullet Bag
here.
Forest Stage: The
Deku Scrub Tribe living here only appears if you wear a mask in the light.
Gate: The Guard
is here.
Single Stump: The
Skull Kid is here.
Graveyard:
The Boy is here. Return after you show the Bunny Hood to the Deku
Scrub Tribe.
Lon-Lon Ranch: The
Marathon Runner usually rests somewhere outside here.
Quest strategies include:
If you must wait for day to arrive, then wait
for day to arrive. You should now attempt the Shooting Gallery and
obtain the Biggest Bullet Bag. After you get that item, you should
head across the way to read the fine print inside the Happy Mask Shop.
You should then borrow the Keaton Mask and take it to the Guard at Death
Mountain Gate. He will pay you an extra R5 for the Mask, thus opening
up another mask. The Skull Mask is available now, and it goes to
a friend of yours in the Lost Woods.
When you reenter the Lost Woods from the ledge
above Mido's House, take a left and talk to the Skull Kid as a Kokiri.
Go to the Forest Stage and show the Deku Scrub Tribe the Skull Mask for
a free Deku Stick upgrade. Show the Skull Kid the Skull Mask and
he pays you R10 for it, so you have to make up the difference. Pay
R20 to the Happy Mask Salesman and pick up the Spooky Mask before you head
to the Graveyard (it must be day for this). Give the Boy the Spooky
Mask and you can pay back 30 Rupees to borrow the Bunny Hood. You
must be back in the Graveyard just after sunset just to be on the safe
side.
