Then along came Marshmallow and his 300+K ass, and I decided to give up hope on that. Of course, there was always the Boss Guides, which were, at the biggest, 21K. HA. This sucker has to be AT LEAST 25K, and I wrote it all in a few hours. Anyways, I hope this provides as some sort of a tool for some of you who got the game and haven't quite beaten it yet, or just want something to read. Have fun, or don't, hippy pieces of crap. Oh yeah, how's my logo? It looked twice as good at first, but it was aligned right, so I had to move it, and splice it up. Too bad, huh? -------------------------------------------------------------- Update History -------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.4 (April 5th?, 1999)- Make my Young Link Walkthrough, upping the size of this FAQ to the triple digits. I added a few things here and there as well. If this is still referred to as a Boss FAQ, I'm gonna be pissed. Version 1.3 (February 21, 1999)- Added the rather extensive and detailed equipment section. Fized my Table of Contents too! This should up the size of the FAQ to around 75K, and maybe it won't just be called a Boss FAQ now, eh? Version 1.2 (February 18, 1999)- Added Golden Skulltula locations. Man, that was. tough. I wrote them up as I could remember them, and then I tried to categorize and alpabetize them. I decided the Dungeons could be seperate from the other areas, since they somehow wound up mostly in order while I tried to alphabetize it. Version 1.1 (February 16, 1999)- Added Heart Piece Locations, and a Mini-Game Review. Gold Skulltula locations are coming soon. Version 1.0 (February 12?, 1999)- Did the Boss FAQ. I don't know what day it is. -------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents -------------------------------------------------------------- I. Walkthrough 1.

Equipment/Weapon/Clothing -------------------------------------------------------------- Walkthrough -------------------------------------------------------------- **************************** Getting The Kokiri Emerald **************************** -------------- Kokiri Forest -------------- Necessary Itmes To Get: Deku Shield, Kokiri Sword, 40 Rupees, Deku Sticks You start off with the games opening sequence, ending in your hut. Walk outsied and Saria will run up to your house and want to talk. If you want to, go talk to her. She congratulates you on getting your fairy, among other things. See the big area on the right side of your map? That's where you have to go, but mean old Mido is blocking your way. You need a sword and shield to make it past here. OK, let's go get them then! Go to the triangular area at the bottom of your map screen, it's the training area. See the little hole in the wall? Go crawl through it. Take a left up here, and you'll find a boulder going round and round. Get behind it and walk with it, and you'll be at the other side. An advertisement for the Know-It-All Brothers is in front of a big chest. Open the chest to recieve the Kokiri Sword! Now you'll need 40 rupees. Look inside tall grass, slice little grass, throw rocks, and look around. Jumping on platforms over water gets 5 rupees, and jumping off the fence near the hole in the trainging center gets major rupees. Also, Mido's house contains several chests worth looking into. Once you have the necessary cashola, go to the shop. It's the little building next to the Deku Tree's area. It's striped red on the top, and a Kokiri is sitting on the roof. Go in, and buy the Deku Shield. Equip it, and the sword if you haven't already, and go talk to Mido again. He yells at you some more, but then realizes you've got weapons, so he let's you pass. Of course, I'd suggest talking to everybody beforehand, since they won't say the same thing once you've gotten the Kokiri's Emerald. Alright, walk to the Deku Tree, and you'll be ambushed by some Deku Baba. They won't attack you, but if you touch them, it hurts. Slice them up, and you'll recieve Deku Sticks. Yay! Go up to the Deku Tree, and a cut-scene ensues. It's about Ganondorf's desire for the spiritual stones, and how he's being destroyed from the inside. He opens his mouth and invites you to go in. Well, collect your senses, save your game, and go inside. --------------------- Inside The Deku Tree --------------------- Necessary Items To Get: Fairy Slingshot, Kokiri's Emerald Other Items: Map, Compass, Deku Nuts First off, slice the Deku Baba in this room. Tak a left and climb up the ladder. Make the jumps across this area until you find a big chest and some Skullwalltulas. The spiders can't hurt you if you don't climb the wall, so open up the chest. It's the map, and that's a very good thing. Keep jumping until you get to a door at the end. Iron bars lock the door behind you, and you have to square off against a Deku Shrub. No toughie, just check the Enemies Section for that. Once he's destroyed, he gives you a tip about jumping, and the doors unlock. Proceed through the next door, and jump on the platform in the center. Quickly leap to the chest, which turns out to be the Fairy Slingshot. In case you didn't notice, the platform you jumped off of fell. Just turn around, and look at the ladder above the exit. Z-Target it and hit it with the Slingshot. It falls, and you can exit. Cut the grass below for supplies. Another way through this room is to not use the platform at first. Just fall down and climb up the vines to the other side. Then you can use the platform on your way back. Just a little creative thinking on my part. Go back to the Skullwalltulas and kill them with Z-Targeting and the Slingshot. The third one cannot always be targeted, so just take him out manually if necessary. Climb the vines, crawl right at the top, and drop down. Go forward to the next door, ignoring the Giant Skulltula looming overhead. He'll get his later. In this next room, go stand on a switch to activate some platforms. Jump across to the other side, and open the chest there. It's the Compass, so be happy. You can now see where all the treasure chests are in this level, and exactly where you are. To exit, go back to the beginning, and pull out a Deku Stick. Put it in the fire from the lit torch, then walk over to the unlitl torch. There ya go, just be sure to hit B to get rid of the Stick before it burns away. Go back and find a Giant SKulltula. Tough for the first timer. I went after it with my sword. Just let it come down, then use the SLingshot when it reveals its belly. Now, look over the ledge. See the spiderweb? Navi no doubt talked to you about it earlier. Get a good running start, and jump. You can somewhat control yourself in midair, so toggle the stick. Normally, you'll hit the sides, and have to try again, but if lucky you'll land in the center and break through it. Take a left and a deep breath. There are two spiders in this room, but they're Gold Skulltulas. You can't miss these things. I'd put 'em in my Gold Skulltula section, but you could get hurt if you don't kill them. There are 3 platforms here. #1 is the one you're standing on, and #2 is right in front of you. #3 is across the water and can't be reached. Go to #2 and step on the switch. Now, there's a lit torch. Get a Deku Stick lit and jump to platform #1. Part of the water is shallow enough to stand in. Run to the web at the end, and is your stick is still burning, it'll melt away. Go through the door to meet a Deku Scrub. If you want to, kill him. But if not, stand on his grass so he goes away, and use your Slingshot on the gray eye above the exit door. It closes, and the doors open. Now, get out of here and prepare for more. You're in a room filled with water, a platform on either side, and platform on the water, and a spiky log in the water. Dive in the water, go to the left side, and dive down. There's a switch there, so keep diving until you hit it. Go back to your original platform and wait for the floating one to come to you. Jump to it, and since the switch lowered the water level, you can pass under the spiky log. You'll hear strange noises during all of this, it's your timer. It'll speed up and then stop soon. On the other side, you have to kill a Giant Skulltula. Now, go to the block against the wall and push it as far to the right as you can. Climb up on it, and enter the door above. Three torches in this room, and some Deku Babas. Ignore them, they grow back anyway. Get a stick lit, and run like mad lighting all the other torches. Once that's finished, you can leave the room in peace. In this next room there are two spiderwebs. One leads to a Deku Baba, the other to a tunnel. Find the tunnel, and enter it. You're now on platform #3 in that water room again, so DO NOT JUMP OFF!!! See the spiderweb on the ground? Well, we'll get that in a moment. Push the block into the water, and jump to platform #2. Get yourself lit up on the torch over here, and make a clever jump back to the block, and thne onto platform #3. To burn the spiderweb, either swing the stick, or use my way and roll over the web. Either way is fine, and you wind up in the same place. There's three Deku Scrubs in this room, and if you listened to the other Deku Scrub a while back, he mentioning killing his brothers in a 2-3-1 order, twenty-three is number one (Jordan reference?). Do so, which is pretty tricky, except they freeze when hit, so you don't have to chase after them. The last one must be caught, and he'll tell you Queen Gohma's secret. Then they leave, and you have access to Queen Gohma's chamber. I have a section for details on these things, and I bet you can guess its name. Once Gohma's dead, collect the Heart Container she leaves behind, and enter the blue light. You're back outside now, and the Deku Tree talk about the Triforce. You now know everything you need to know, and I believe Din, Nayru, and Farore were described as well. Oh, the Deku Tree is dying, so take this. It's the Kokiri's Emerald!!! Cool, now he's dead. ************************** Getting The Goron's Ruby ************************** -------------- Kokiri Forest -------------- Necessary Items: Fairy Ocarina Well, as I said before, everyone says different things since the Deku Tree is dead. Mido yells at you, heh heh. Notable is her absence is Saria. Take the exit on the left side, by the Know-It-All Brothers' House. You'll enjoy (or maybe you won't) a cut scene featuring Saria handing over the Fairy Ocarina to you. Man, the way Link exits this scene is PRICELESS! He sort of slowly backs away from her, then runs full speed away, like she's some poisonous snkae or something. Hehe. -------------- Hyrule Field -------------- Necessary Items: Map Of Hyrule Walk forward and Kaepora Gaebora the owl will give you a map of Hyrule. He also talks about using the map subscreen and stuff. Stay on the main road, and head towards the castle when you see it. At night, the drawbridge goes up, so you're screwed if that happens. Just wait on the road until day, or Stalchilds will jump you. Once the drawbridge is down, go inside the castle. --------------- Hyrule Market --------------- In here, look around for a red-haired girl named Malon. Talk to her, and she says her dad is missing. Apparently, he went to Hyrule Castle to drop some milk off, but hasn't come back yet. Check out the shops, but don't buy the Hylian Shield, since you can get it later for free. Well, run through this area to..... --------------- Hyrule Castle --------------- Necessary Items: Weird Egg Go forward, and you'll meet Kaepora Gaebora again. He talks about time I believe, but I could be wrong. Look on the right wall by some vines. If Malon isn't there, go back to the Market and come back again. Anyways, when you find her, talk to her. She whines about her dad some more, and gives you a Weird Egg in exchange for you finding him. Now, climb up those vines and walk along the area up here. Jump off when you get to the stone thing. There's a hole in it to climb down, but jumping across is faster. You'll see a boulder with a sign in front of it. Ignore them, go a little further, and break left up the hill. Run to the far wall, and climb the stone area. Jump into the water and let the current sweep you away. You'll see a man sleeping. If your Egg has hatched, use it to wake him. If not, wait until it does. Once you wake him, you find out that it's Talon. A funny cut scene ensues, with him running back to find Malon. Find the two crates of milk behind him, and push them along the path into the water. Hop on top of the second one, and jump into the small hole the water is coming out of. In this next area, you'll have to run around, dodging guards like crazy. Don't worry, you'll make it on the first or second try. Just remember a few things: Guards can't see behind themselves or through bushes, they're not as good as the guards outside, and when you see a guard making a tight circle through some rupees, use the overhead bridge. Finally, you'll wind up in..... ------------------ Castle Courtyard ------------------ Necessary Items: Zelda's Letter, Zelda's Lullaby Well, look in the right window at first and you'll spot Mario and friends. This disgusts me, since Mario has no place in a Zelda game, but I digress. Go talk to Princess Zelda, and she speaks of a great many things. Say no to one of her questions, and she repeats it idiotically. God, what a retard. Oh well, you see Ganondorf, and are told you must do something to stop him. You get Zelda's Letter, which we soon found out was written in all of five seconds. Afetr that, go backwards and speak to Impa, Zelda's nanny. She teaches you Zelda's Lullaby, and escorts you out of the castle. She also says to go to Kakariko Village, but that ain't happening yet. -------------- Hyrule Field -------------- Necessary Items: None Other Items: None Once you get control, look on the map. See the circle in the center? That's Lon Lon Ranch. Go there. --------------- Lon Lon Ranch --------------- Necessary Items: None Other Items: Epona's Song, Bottle w/Lon Lon Milk Go straight through this area at first until you get out into the corral. Go in the center and talk to Malon again. Talk to her three times, and after that show her your Ocarina. She'll teach you Epona's Song, and Epona will hump your leg like all loving animals do ;) Now, go backwards and take the door on your right. You'll see Talon sleeping with bunches of Cuccos around him. You can now play the Cucco-Finding Game [See Mini-Games Section] and win a Bottle with fresh Lon Lon Milk inside. Sadly enough, he's just joking when he asks about Malon. Trust me, you'll find out later. Go back outside to..... -------------- Hyrule Field -------------- Necessary Items: None Other Items: None Sadly, I have to keep this as a section or people will get lost. Suffice to say, go back into Kokiri Forest. Happy? --------------- Kokiri Forest --------------- Necessary Items: None Other Items: None Man, I hate doing these little parts, but alas, I must include them. Anyways, take the exit at the north end of the map. It leads to the Lost Woods. ------------ Lost Woods ------------ Necessary Items: None Other Items: None What, is that like three sections in a row with no items? Yikes! Anyway, from the start go right, left, right left, straight, left, right, or just listen to the music, or my other way described elsewhere to get to..... ---------------------- Saceed Forest Meadow ---------------------- Necessary Items: Saria's Song (THANK GOD!) Well, go straight forward and take out the Wolfos that attacks. The gate opens and he leaves behind a purple rupee (50). There's a little maze-type thing ahead, with Mad Scrubs (automatic Deku Scrubs) at every corner. Once you get to the end, you'll face a bunch of Mad Scrubs in a hallway. When they're dead, go forward and a cut scene ensues with Saria. She will teach you Saria's Song if you show her your Ocarina. Once you've got that, head on out. In case you're low on life, and didn't kill the Scrubs, save and reset. You'll be back in your house. Great trick I must say. --------------- Kokiri Forest --------------- Necessary Items: None Other Items: None Leave. Back to Hyrule Field. 'Nuff said. -------------- Hyrule Field -------------- Necessary Items: None Other Items: None Go to Kakariko Village, which is next to the castle as Impa already pointed out. ------------------ Kakariko Village ------------------ Necessary Items: None Other Items: Bottle, Sun's Song (At least, I don't THINK it's necessary), Hylian Shield Talk to the Cucco Lady [See Mini-Games Section] for the bottle, or go to the graveyard (bottom right) for the Sun's Song. Now, the way to get the Sun'sSong is to go to the back of the graveyard and play Zelda's Lullaby. The game's best Young Link cut scene occurs, and you've got a hole. Drop down. Take out all 5 Keese in this room, and the door will unlock itself. Go through the door and make a mad dash straight through this room. Run through the green muck, because it hurts less than if you go near a ReDead, trust me. After this, you'll see an inscription on the wall. You learn the Sun's Song from it. Go back to the ReDead's and play the Sun's Song to freeze them. Then leave. To get the Hylian Shield here for free, pull on the grave with flowers in the first row, and open the chest below. This is a good find, but don't equip it yet. It was made for Adult Link, really. The entrance to Death Mountain is at the top, but a guard blocks your way. Just show him Zelda's Letter, which reads (god this is lame): This is (your name), he is under my orders to save Hyrule. Well, that was dumb, and the guard has his appropriate laugh. He also wants a Mask from the Happy Mask Shop, which is now accessible in Hyrule Market. Go through the now opened gate. ---------------------- Death Mountain Trail ---------------------- Necessary Items: None Other Items: None Well, just walk forward and kill the two Red Tektites you meet along the way. Kill the third that jumps down at you, and head up the ledge he was on. Those boulders you saw cover up the entrance to Dodongo's Cavern. Now, just keep going straight (can't go the up route) until you get to a circle of stones. Go forward, not left, and you'll be in Goron City. ------------ Goron City ------------ Necessary Items: Goron's Bracelet Well, talking to people, you will discover that Ganondorf has sealed up the entrance to Dodongo's Cavern (duh), the Goron's main food supply. Dodongo's have invaded it, and Ganon won't help out the Goron's until he gets the Goron's Ruby. Oh, and Darunia has locked himself in his room, waiting for a royal messenger. Well, either by jumping straight down, or transversing the paths, get to the bottom. You'll see a door with a plush carpet in front that Navi flies to. Stand on the carpet, take out Le Ocarina, and play Zelda's Lullaby. The door opens, so go inside. He is very unhappy if you talk to him, but using the Ocarina cheers him up (and makes him look like a total psycho in the process). He talks about Ganondorf some more, and gives you the Goron's Bracelet. You can now pick up those funny looking Bomb Flowers lying around. ---------------------- Death Mountain Trail ---------------------- Necessary Items: None Well, take a right coming out of the cavern and you'll see a Dodongo and a Bomb Flower. Now, what you've gotta do is pick up that Bobm Flower, get a running start, and throw it. After a few tries, you'll be able to blast open Dodongo's Cavern. Um...go in there dude. Hey, since this is a small section, I just had a thought. If it's _really_ the Goron's place, why is it called Dodongo's Cavern?? Answer me that, will ya!?! Oh wait, got a (bad) walkthrough to do. ------------------ Dodongo's Cavern ------------------ Necessary Items: Bomb Bag, Goron's Ruby Other Items: Map, Compass, Deku Shield CAUTION: You should equip the Hylian Shield whenever you see a fire enemy (Fire Keese, Dodongos, probably etc.) because the Deku Shield will be burnt by these guys if they hit you. Of course, when they're not present, feel free to use the Deku Shield, because child Link can actually manuever with it. Oh, and there are verious Deku Scrubs around here who'll sell you replacement Deku Shields. On with it already? No, screw you, I think I'll make a random comment here. Ummm...Is it just me, or...nope, I got nothing. Oh, doesn't it seem odd that there's a Map and Compass in every dungeon? Why is this I ask you, and who put these here? On with it _now_? OK. First off, look to your left and pick up a Bomb Flower. Run over and set it down by the odd-looking part of the wall. It will explode, revealing the main area of the dungeon, and giving the cavern its proper intro. Go forward, wait for the moving platform to be at its highest, then jump onto it and onto the center platform. Avoid the Beamos and go either left or right. If you go left, destroy the Beamos with a Bomb Flower, and bomb the odd sections until you find the Map. If that doesn't interest you, head right. Kill the Beamos you see, and then bomb the odd section of the wall furthest away from you (and the Bomb Flower). Go in, and you'll be in a hallway with Dodongo Larva. Hack them, or use the Hylian Shield to cover yourself from their attack. Once you make it to a rise in the ground, they can't attack. The switch here is blue, so push/pull a statue on top of it, then go through the door. Uh-OH, it's a pair of Lizalfos. Luckily, they fight 1 at a time. Pull out your Deku Shield if it wasn't equipped and take these idiots out. I found this very tough, seeing as how you only have 4, maybe 5 hearts right now. The door unlocks, so proceed. You'rein a dark room with torches and Dodongos. Wipe out the Dodongos first if you don't wanna risk getting hurt. Now, if you don't have any Deku Sticks (and why would that happpen? You never use 'em anywhere!), bomb the odd part of the wall and kill the Business Scrub you find there. He'll sell more to you. Now, get a stick lit and go light the other three in the room. Viola, insta-exit! You're in the center room of the dungeon again, but this time in an area you previously couldn't reach. Simply stand on the switch, and the door on the left side unlocks. Scamper over there by way of platform, and get the Map if you haven't already. Oh yeah, there's a Business Scrub willing to sell you a replacement Deku Shield if it's gone around here. Now, once you've got your supplies, head through the unlocked door. You'll be in a room with a bunch of Bomb Flowers. Ignore that for now, and blast away the odd section of wall to get to the other room. There are three statues, one of which is an Armos. Just pick up a Bomb Flower, hurl it at him, and repeat. You can get the Compass while he's chasing you if you wish. COOL TRICK: If you just can't kill him, snag the Compass, save, and reset. There ya go, and you barely lost any time. Anyway, get back to the last room. Uh, you see that pillar in the center of the room? See all the Bomb Flowers lying around it? Well, there's an obvious gap between two Bomb Flowers where another one should be. Find one lying on the floor around here and put it there. They all explode, and a sequence ensues. One thing's for sure: You've got stairs! Take either direction on the wooden ledge up here and get out of this room. Look, it's the return of the Skullwalltulas right before the door!! OK, that was dumb. In this next room you'll see some Fire Keese and about seven Armos. Yikes! I'd equip Mr. Hylian Shield and kill the Keese first, then circle around the Armos. Don't touch them, because one is only a statue. It's the one in front of the ladder. Pull him out of the way and you'll have easy access to the top. Hit the switch, and then leave this friggin' place! You're in the main room, sorta. You're on the second floor now. Just run across the bridge, and if a Keese comes near you, slash the retard. In the next room, drop down and Navi informs you to watch your step in these tight corridors. Look for a ladder with a blue block at its base. Climb the ladder, then jump off onto a platform with a chest. Open it for some rupees, then grab the Bomb Flower next to it. When it's about to explode, throw it at the explodable (word?) wall. I mean, when it's REALLY about to explode. Also, you can get it stuck on the ladder if you've got good hand-eye coordination. Just blast it and go through the passageway. There are three platforms in this room, but the center one is on fire. Just use the Slingshot on the yellow eye atop the third platform, and the fire will go out. If you run out of Deku Seeds, there's some regrowing grass in this room. Aw man! Just when all was going well, another freaking Lizalfo fight! Kill them I suppose, just like last time. In the next room, there are 4 platforms, and the 2 center ones are on fire. Hit the eye at the end again, hop onto the second platform, and turn left. Hit the eye there and proceed to exit the room. Watch out, the fire WILL grow back. In this next room, you can find a Bomb Bag inside of a large chest. Isn't that nice? Now, go through the passageway and you'll see a switch. Save the game, as the switch creates easy access from the first floor to the second floor via a pillar. Jump across the bridge and bomb the wall at the end for a chest. If you're missing your Deku Shield, that's what you get. If not, it's 20 rupees. Now, go back and stand right next to a gap in the bridge. Pull out a bomb and drop it. It'll land in the Giant Dead Dodongo's eye. Do the same with the other one, and he opens his mouth, allowing you to get to Dodongo's chamber. Or closer at least. If you've got full hearts, jump down there, but if not, use the pillar to get back down. Now, enter the door in the Dodongo's mouth (WTF? A door in his MOUTH!?!?!) Equip the Hylain Shield and kill or avoid the Fire Keese flying around. Jumping in the hole shows you that there's a blue switch down there, since it won't stay down. Take a right from this room, and you'll be in an area with Fire Keese and blocks. Just scramble through this room, you'll have to climb to higher ground near the end. You'll see a tunnel, but smash the pots to the left. They contain Red Fairies, and you've probably got at least 1 bottle to keep one in by now. OK, go through the tunnel, and push the block at the end. It'll fall off, so push/pull it onto the switch, watching out for the Fire Keese, who will sucker punch you while you pull it (well, they would if they had arms). Great, the door to Dodongo is open. Proceed!!! Open up the chest in here for some Bombs, which you may or may not need. Bomb the odd part of the floor, and drop down to square off with Dodongo. See the appropriate section, which believe it or not ISN'T the Mini-Game Section. God I hate you people. Once this guy's killed, take your Heart Container and leave. Enjoy the suquence with Darunia at the end, and get the Goron Ruby. This one just might be funnier than Koume and Kotake's death scene. My sister says Gorons look like bears, and this only proves it, hehe. ---------------------- Death Mountain Trail ---------------------- Necessary Items: Magic Meter Other Items: Spin Slash Alright, remember when there was that flag when you went up the slope en route to Goron City? Yeah, take the up path there, and blast the boulders away with Bombs. Jump across the gap, and equip the Hylian Shield. Run to the far wall, and boulders start to fall. If you see a shadow on you, press R to duck and cover until it goes away. Either that or run like hell until it stops, my method of choice. Kill the two Skullwalltulas you can see, then try to get positioning on the third one, or just run past it. At the top, don't go down with the damn owl, Bomb the area on the left. Look, a Great Fairy Fountain. Play Zelda's Lullaby on the Triforce symbol, and the fairy appears. My god, could she possibly be wearing any less? Not that I'm complaining though. She teaches you the Spin Slash attack, and now you have a Magic Meter. Good for you. Technically, the Spin SLash isn't necessary, but you need to gain it in order to speak to the other Great Fairies, and one of them gives you Din's Fire, which IS necessary. Get my drift? ------------------ Kakariko Village ------------------ Necessary Items: None that I haven't already described Other Items: None that I haven't already described Use a ride from the owl to get here, and then leave. Nothing else to do. Go through Hyrule Field and go to Hyrule Castle. --------------- Hyrule Castle --------------- Necessary Items: Din's Fire Proceed past the gate like you did last time, but look at the sign and the boulder this time. Blow up the boulder and go inside. You know the drill. This time you recieve Din's Fire which is necessary WAY later in the game. Now, from here go to Zora's River, it's to the right of Kakariko Village in Hyrule Field. ************************* Getting Zora's Sapphire ************************* -------------- Zora's River -------------- Necessary Items: None Other Items: Magic Beans First, walk forward and blast the rocks, duh. You can buy Magic Beans from the fat kid, which are necessary to get some Heart Pieces, and some Gold Skulltulas, but not vital to your quest. Anyway, there is a point where the gap in the river is very small, so jump across it. You can also use a Cucco to float over the wider parts, but I think it takes too long. Just jump through this level, making sure not to stay in the water too much, and avoiding the Blue Tektites. At the end you'll find a waterfall with a grate in front of it. Play Zelda's Lullaby on the grate, enjoy the swank cut scene, and jump through the now opened waterfall. That thing will close fast though, so don't stand around for too long. --------------- Zora's Domain --------------- Necessary Items: Silver Scale, Fish (you don't need to get it HERE though) Well, stay on the path and make your way upward to King Zora's Chamber. Talking to him reveals that Princess Ruto is lost. Take a left and play the Diving Game. Refer to the Mini-Game Section for this relatively easy game. Once you go back up to her and get the Silver Scale, dive down again. Look for an underwater hole in the ground; it's a shortcut to Lake Hylia. ------------ Lake Hylia ------------ Necessary Items: Bottle W/Letter Other Items: Fishing Pond w/Lots O' Stuff, Scarecrow's Song Just go forward a little bit and Navi will turn green and fly underwater. Dive there, and when you come up you'll have the Not-So Empty Bottle. Equip it to a C Button, and use it to read Princess Ruto's Letter. She's trapped inside Jabu-Jabu, and wants you to save her. Oh, and don't tell her daddy. Go back to Zora's Domain now. Oh, the Fishing Pond is on the far side, left of where you entered. To finish half of the Scarecrow's Song sequence, just go up to the scarecrow who claims to be a musical genius, and play an 8-note song. --------------- Zora's Domain --------------- Necessary Items: Fish, if you didn't already get it Well, show King Zora the Letter in a Bottle, and he'll tell you to go fetch Ruto. Man, he takes like a week to move out the way! When he's done, walk around on the lower level of the Domain until you spot some fishies. Catch one in a bottle, or buy one from the shop for 200 rupees (yikes!). Now, go past where Zora was originally blocking. ----------------- Zora's Fountain ----------------- Necessary Items: None Other Items: Farore's Wind Well, if you want Farore's Wind, read this. If not, just skip to the next paragraph. It's unnecessary, and I never use it either. Alright, go behind Jabu-Jabu until you find an island with a tree, a silver boulder, and a Gossip Stone. Bomb behind the silver boulder (I think there's a crack or some other boulders there) and you'll open up a passageway. In here is another Great Fairy Fountain, and you get Farore's Wind. Now, go up in front of Jabu-Jabu an dget right up in his face. Realease the fish, and he'll open his mouth. In you go, along with the fish. Man, Link has a girly voice, I wanna kick him square in the nuts. -------------------------- Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly -------------------------- Necessary Items: Boomerang Other Items: Map, Compass Run forward, avoiding the enemies, and stand against the...I guess we'll call it locked for now. The locked door. Turn around and look up. Navi flies green toward a switch, so pull out your Slingshot and peg it. Just walk through this next room, nothing of interest really. Hey look, Princess Ruto in this room! She's angry, and doesn't want any help. God, what a putz, she walked right down a Sucky Thing Of Doom! Follow her, and then talk to her. She again says no, but don't give up hope. Talk to her one more time and she says that you may carry her. OK, do so. Link is carrying around a naked girl??? Um..this isn't G-Rated!!! Take the door behind you (yes behind), and jump into the water in the center. Toss her over to the other side and get ready for some pain. Bunches of enemies like Bubbles and Stingrays inhabit this place. Just touch Mr. Center Switch to raise the water so that you can go to the other side with Ruto. Oh, if Ruto dies, just go backwards, and she will be waiting. I always lost her my first time around. Get to the exit door an dshoot the switch on the ceiling to leave. Wait in this room until the elevator platform comes down. Ride it up to the top, it takes you to the room before the Holy Room (get it???). Um, go forward and run through the pits in the next room. Also, go at full speed so Beris don't drop down on you. Take the door at the end. Scamper through this next room, and take a quick right. Put Ruto on the blue switch and enter the door. Now, wipe out anything with a pulse in this next room (using the best damn weapon in this level, Deku Nuts), and your reward is the Boomerang. Now, go out, and walk around this next room until you find another blue switch. Set Ruto down on it again and go in. Whoa, it's a Parasitic Tentacle. Just fight it like you would a Skulltula basically. Keep the Boomerang ready, walk forward until it comes down, and release it. Repeat until dead. When it dies, a chest will appear out of nowhere (amazing!), and it contains the Map. Remember the hallway with a red tentacle in it? Well, go through that hallway, because the tentacle ain't there anymore. Navi reminds you in case you never saw it. Well, dispatch of Bubbles in here in 40 seconds or less. Deku Nuts are the weapon of choice, but the Boomerang is capable. Kill them all in time and you get the Compass! Yay? Go back into this room and go through the door which I believe WAS NOT HERE BEFORE! Man, freaky. Uh, inside is a blue (I think it's blue) Tentacle. Kill it, and you get.....nothing. Oh well, the tentacle blocking your way earlier is gone. Go into that nearby hallway and you'll do battle with the last tentacle, a green one! You already saw the tentacle it's gonna get rid of earlier, in the hole room. Kill this thing. Work your way back to the hole room (which takes all of ten seconds, hehe. Fall down the hole the tentacle used to cover (from where you just came in, it's the farthest one on the right side). You'll fall onto a section of land (well, flesh) that you've no doubt tried to access before. Go through the door, and you'll see Zora's Sapphire. Throw Ruto to it since you can't reach it yourself, and the platform rises. When it returns.....RUTO'S BEEN TURNED INTO AN OCTOPUS! DEAR GOD SAVE US ALL! Oh wait, that's just BigOcto. Kill it. Once he's dead, climb onto the platform elevator in the center, and you'll be led to an area with wiggly wobbly thingies and an Octorok. It's tough to kill him, so just stick it out. Boomerang the jello impersonators, and hop on them to the exit. Jump across the gap to a platform, and it lowers to that circular room before the Holy Room (come on, it's funny, admit it!). There, now you can reach the far side, the Boss Area. Uh-Oh, there's a blue switch, but no Ruto. No problem, just walk to the other side and grab a wooden box. Place it on the switch and enter the door. Kill the Jellyfish in this room with your Boomerang, and then climb the vines. I suggest killing the Gold Skulltula. I'm sorry, but look man, I can't just not say anything about it! Um, get to the top, and you'll see a switch blocked by a plate of glass. Z-Target the switch, get a little bit away from the glass, and let a rip. Go walk through the unopened door. Or hang yourself, whatever feels right. Slaughter Barinade and get your Heart Container. Enter the light Link, the light! Um...I don't feel like giving any information on this cut-scene, so here's some random thoughts. Link gets scared too easily. Wouldn't his clothes and stuff get wet being in the water so much? Man, if Ruto calls this friggin' stone her most precious possession ONE MORE TIME...OK. Link is engaged at age 8? Man. Hey, I just noticed something. Saria, Ruto, Malon, and maybe Zelda all want Link. Lucky piece of crap. Proceed to make your way back to Hyrule Market. -------------- Hyrule Field -------------- Necessary Items: Ocarina Of Time Upon nearing Hyrule Castle, you'll see a cut scene in which Zelda flees with Impa. She tosses the Ocarina Of Time into the moat and up comes Ganondorf on a sweet-looking black stallion --------------- Hyrule Market --------------- Necessary Items: None Other Items: None This is tricky. You've gott find the Temple of Time. Hard with all the junk cluttering this area up. Just look for a churchlike thing with some steps. Coming from the field, it's to the right of the Happy Mask Shop. ---------------- Temple Of Time ---------------- Necessary Items: Master Sword First, walk up to the little alter thing and read the inscription. It says something about the Hero Of Time playing the Song Of Time. Well, whip out your Ocarina and play that thing! The door opens up, allowing you to pass. Walk through and Navi will fly up to the Master Sword. Go pick it up. You will see a LOOOOOOOONG cut scene which I might describe in my next update. For now, I bid ye adeiu! -------------------------------------------------------------- Heart Piece Locations -------------------------------------------------------------- There are 36 Heart Pieces scattered throughout Hyrule, some easily attainable, some almost impossible. I got about 30 of these on my own, the rest were from people at Game FAQs. Here they are..... AL= Adult Link YL= Young Link EL= Either Link Hyrule Field (2 Hearts) 1. EL- You see that fenced-in area near the entrance to Lake Hylia? You know,the one with two white, jumpable fences, and two black, unjumpable ones? Yeah, that's the place. Put a bomb in the center, back off, and drop in the revealed grotto. You need 10 rupees to buy the Heart Piece from the Business Scrub down there. Good deal? 2. EL- Exit Hyrule Market. Now, out in the field, take a 90 degree turn right until you see a little stream and a bunch of trees. One of the trees isn't particularly close to any other trees. Bomb it, and go in the revealed grotto. You need the Golden Scale or the Iron Boots to obtain this Heart Piece. Lon Lon Ranch (1 heart) 3. YL- Go into the corral area, outside, where all the horses are running around. You see that little building in the far corner? It shows up as a little square on your map. Go in there. Now, those crates are blocking a hole in the wall. It's tough to pull them out, but you can. When you reveal the hole, crawl through, grab the Heart Piece, and go worship me! Kakariko Village (8 hearts, geez!) 4. YL- Go into the graveyard at night. Remember, time is stopped in Kakariko, so wait on the outside steps until you hear a wolf howl. Now, ask him to dig, but only in the soil spots, not the grass spots. The heart is always in different places, so dig on all those spots. I spent 200 Rupees last time I got it. 5. EL- Kill 50 Gold Skulltulas, pick up their tokens, and go to the house of Skulltula. Talk to the freed child, and he will give you a piece of heart! Yeah! 6. EL- After you have a magic meter, the owl is right outside where you obtained it, atop Death Mountain. Take his offer for a ride. Drop down onto the brown overhang, near the Cucco Lady. Walk into the hold in the wall, grab the heart, and maybe get some milk. 7. EL- Go into the graveyard. See that grave in the second row, with flowers on it? Near the large statue? Pull on it, drop down, destroy the ReDead, and play the Sun's Song. I discovered this, because that was my first killed ReDead, and I thought it was still alive :) 8. AL- Plant a COOL magic bean in the soft soil spot in the graveyard, and come back as an adult. The Heart Piece is in the crate, dum-dum. Roll into it, man! Oh, I found a totally kickass way to get it. As an adult, see those fences near it? Climb on top of one and Longshot to the crate, viola! As a kid, use a Bombchu to destroy it, and Boomerang the Heart Piece. 9. AL- Get the Longshot, and climb up to the lookout tower (not at night, or prepare to be suprised). Now use the Longshot on the roof with the guy on it. Talk to him, and he'll give you a Heart Piece. Well. _I_ sure wouldn't give someone a piece of my heart! 10. AL- OK, go back to where you raced Dampe the first time and won the Hookshot. Now all you have to do is win the race in under 61 seconds, not under a minute like everyone says. An easy way to do this is to strap on theHoverboots and roll all the way through. You can EASILY beat a minute doing this. Also the torches, at the end, after the spiral ledge you run up, can be used as Longshot targets. 11. EL- Well, you have two choices, you can either use the long way that everybody seems to recommend, or you can use this genius plan of mine (well, not really genius, or a plan, or even MINE, but whatever)! The long way is beating Dampe's Spirit in the race, going out the back door, and using the windmill platforms to jump to it. However, I say, go into the windmill as a child, and use the boomerang to retrieve it. Death Mountain Trail (1 Heart) 12. AL- As a chils, plant a Magic Bean in front of the entrance to Dodongo's Cavern. Come back as an adult and climb it, you furry weasel! Zora's River (4 Hearts) 13. YL- First, you need to have the Song of Storms. As a kid, go to Zora's River. There is a log which comes out from a part of the land. When you step on it, Navi mentions some frogs are staring at you. Now, whip out your Ocarina and play the Song of Storms for them. Good boy, you get a heart. Anything else, and you get puprle rupees. 14. YL- After attaining Heart Piece #12, go back ot the frogs again. Play every song on the top row (i.e, all that don't warp you) and they'll talk about how fat they are. Now, you get to play their bug-catching game. You simply play the proper note when a bug flies over a frog. The pattern is always the same, so just find out which button activates which frog, and memorize it, or write it down. 15. BL- As young Link, go to the end of the river, near the waterfall. Take a Cucco from the bean-selling guy with you. See that heart on the ledge over there? Do you? Good. There are 3 ways to snag this heart. You can use the Cucco to fly/jump to it. However, it is MUCH easier as an adult, when you can use the Hoverboot to get to it. The easiest is to use the boomerang to grab it, IMO. 16. BL- Look for a ledge like the one in Heart #14. Use the same strategy. I believe you need to use the ladder in the middle of the area to climb on a big big piece of land to get near it. Zora's Domain (1 Heart) 17. YL- I recommend getting the all-powerful Din's Fire before trying this. First, go look BEHIND the waterfall and you'll find two torches. Use Din to light them simultaneously. I recommend standing in front of the right one, with a Deku stick on the C-menu. Now, get the stick lit, run through the SHALLOW area of the water so you don't fall in, and light the third torch. Keep running without relighting, and you'll find the fourth and final one outside the shop. Now, go back to the first two torches and open up the treasure chest to reveal your prize..... A red rupee! Um... it's actually a Heart Piece. Zora's Fountain (2 Hearts) 18. As an adult, there are several large ice blocks in the water. One has a Heart Piece. Well, get onto that block doing anything possible! Now, I tell you, now! 19. As an adult, strap on the Iron Boots and go walking around underwater until you see rupees. Well, in there somewhere is a heart piece. GET IT YOU RETARD! Oh yeah, the Zora Tunic isn't even remotely necessary. You should be in and out in under 30 seconds. Come to think of it, the Tunic is NEVER necessary. Don't bother. I beat the Water Temple without it. Ice Cavern (1 Heart) 20. AL- It's in a block of red ice. Simply use blue fire to get through the red wall in the room with the helicopter blade. The compass is in here as well. Hyrule Market (3 Hearts) 21. YL- You remember that back alley, the one with the shop that sells Bombchus and the locked door? If you go there at night, the door is unlocked, and inside a woman will tell you about her lost dog, Little Richard. Go back outside, and look near the Bazaar. He is the white one. Hit him a few times to get him to follow you, then go back to the lady. Try not to pick up any strays along the way. 22. YL- Go into the Bombchu bowling shop- the one where the lady said they were closed earlier in the game. Pay rupees to play {See Mini-Games}. If you win, you get a prize. Sometimes it'sa Piece of Heart. I got the heart on my first game, so it shouldn't take too long. 23. YL- Go play the Treasure Chest Game {See Mini-Games}. If you use the Lens of Truth, you can see inside of them, making it oh so much easier. Anyways, you get a Piece of Heart the first time. Lost Woods (2 Hearts) 24. After obtaining Saria's Song, enter the Woods and take a left. Jump on the tiny stump and play it. Atta boy! The Skull Kid gives you a Piece of Heart for your "troubles." 25. Keep going into the Lost Woods, and you'll find another little stump that you can jump on. Whip out your Ocarina and play with the Skull Kids {See Mini-Games}. After you win enough, you'll get a Piece of Heart. Um... yeah? Death Mountain Crater (2 Hearts) 26. OK, this is pretty simple. See that climbable wall over there? There is a good sized hole in the side. Climb in it. You see that heart piece? Don't get it, it's bad. Instead, backflip into the lava, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! 27. As a child, play the Bolero of Fire. Go plant a bean in the soft soil spot pretty near where you warped to. Come back as an adult, and VIOLA! A magical platform. Ride on it, and you'll be able to jump down and collect the heart piece you've seen many times before, no doubt. Goron City (1 Heart) 28. YL- See that big vaselike thingamajig on the ground? Light all the torches on the lower level using a combination of Din's Fire and Deku Sticks, or just the Deku Stick. Now it starts spinning. Get up to about the second level and toss a bomb in there. Way to go, something now pops out. It might be a Heart Piece, it might be something feeble. Keep at it, ya never know when it'll come out. Lake Hylia (3 Hearts) 29. YL- Catch a ten-pounder. That is the biggest fish in there at the time. No easy task, indeed. Not at all. 30. AL- Two ways to do this. 1)Go to Lake Hylia as a child, and plant a bean in the soft soil spot right next to the lab. When you come back, you be able to reach the roof. Now, climb the ladder to get to your heart. Guay are everywhere though, so watch out. 2) Use the Scarecrow's Song as an adult, and Hookshot using Pierre. This is also pretty good to keep the birds off of you. 31. Once you have obtained the Golden Scale, go to the lab as an adult. Dive to the bottom of his pool (no Iron Boots don't work) and talk to him. He rewards your skillz with a Piece of Heart. Gerudo Fortress (2 Hearts) 32. AL- As an adult, use Epona and go to the shooting range. Score at least 1,000 on the Horseback Archery game and this Herat Piece is yours! 33. AL- Get onto the roof of the fortress, highest level. Up there you'll probably see a large chest. Either use the Longshot to get to it or use the Scarecrow's Song. Either way a Heart Piece is still in there. Gerudo Valley (2 Hearts) 34. AL- Go to the other side of the bridge, near the carpenters. Look down, and you'll see a ledge with a cow and a lady. Drop down there if you have the health to lose, grab a Cucco if not. Get near the Giant Waterfall and jump in.Iron Boots help. Go behind the fall and climb the ladder. You get a Heart Piece. Oh yeah, the ladder can also be Longshotted. 35. EL- Don't cross the bridge, but instead get to the left and look down. Get to the ledge. There should be a silver rock here. Look across, and Longshot the crate over there. Inside it is a Piece of Heart. I suggest not using a bomb. Desert Colossus (1 Heart) 36. AL- Go there as a kid, and plant a Magic Bean near the entrance. When you come back, you have a ride. You can jump off early to kill a Gold Skulltula, or wait to get HeartPiece #36!!!! Phew, it's FINALLY done. -------------------------------------------------------------- Mini-Game Review -------------------------------------------------------------- Man, this game sure does have a LOT of Mini-Games. I'm trying to talk about all of them, but odds are I missed one or two. Who cares? It's not anybody reads this anyway. 1. The Diving Game Location Of Game- Zora's Domain, as a wee lad. Simply go into King Zora's Chamber and take a left. Now, talk to the Zora you meet there. Cost- Twenty Rupees, but you can gain back much more. How to win- She will throw the rupees down into the water below. Dive down there, and just keep diving to snag the rupees. Once you've got them all, if time isn't up, she'll tell you to come see her for your reward. They're all silver rupees this time, but once you win and come back, you get real ones, like red ones :). Your Prize is- The Silver Scale the first time, rupees all subsequent times. 2. Archery Games Location- Hyrule Market as a kid. Simply look for the building with the target on it. Also found in Kakariko Village as an adult, again it's a building with a target on it. Cost- A mere 10 rupees. That's chump change. How to win- You have to use B to fire this time. 10 large rupees will pop-up/come from different location on the screen. Simply time it right and shoot them. As a kid, they always appear from the same locations, but as an adult it is different. Your Prize Is- If you hit eight or nine of them, you get a free retry, but if you nail all ten, you get a Deku Seed upgrade, or a quiver upgrade, depending on the weapon you used. After that, it's rupees ahoy. 3. The Treasure Chest Game Location- Hyrule Market as a child. I don't know exactly where, nor do I care. Don't bother telling me about it. Price- I dunno, let's say 10 rupees? How to Win- You are put through a series of room- 5 to be exact. There are two treasure chests in each room. One holds a key, the other holds a rupee. This may just be a coincidence, since I've only played it once, but the rupee color seems to match the color of the room. Anyways, with the Lens Of Truth, you can see INSIDE the chests. Keep on getting the keys until you reach the end. Your Prize Is- A nice, shiny Heart Piece. Aww, isn't that nice? After that, you just keep getting purple rupees. Nice money source, IMO. 4. Racing the famous Ingo! Location- The Lon Lon Ranch, the ONLY place Ingo ever is, and the ONLY place you find horses, you! Oh yeah, be an adult. Cost- 60 or 70 rupees, if you've ridden before it's 60, if not it's 70. How To Win- Back as a child, you showed Malon your Ocarina, learned Epona's Song, and played it for her, right? Good, now go to Lon Lon Ranch, and Ingo has taken over. That's nice. Ask to ride. Gte in, and play Epona's Song, to get her to come over to you. If u race with the other horse, you CAN NOT win. Ride for a while, and quit or wait until time is up. Ride again, and talk to him while on horseback. He says that you are getting better, and challenges you to a race. Accept. The way to win is to stay on the inside, and use carrots until you only have one left. Every time one grows back, use it, but using that last carrot will REALLY slow you down. You have to win twice. On the second, he could be a problem. Use yourself to block him. I once finished the second race in 32 seconds and still won using that technique. Your Prize Is- Epona. Just get a BIG running start and jump over the back fence to escape the corral. 5. Obstacle Course Location- As an adult, go to Lon Lon Ranch after beating Ingo and getting Epona. Talk to Malon while on horseback. How To Win- Remember, the little fences don't need a runnign start. You've gotta use a carrot a few steps before a fence if you wanna jump it, using them close up won't work. Two laps, and you have :50 seconds to do it in. Not too hard, not too easy. Your Prize Is- Go back to your house and you'll find a COW. Play Epona's Song to collect milk from it whenever you want it. 6. Bombchu Bowling Location- Hyrule Market as a child, like so many other Mini-Games. Price- 30 Rupees How To Win- You have to break down three walls, hitting the center target on all three on them. The first one is straight ahead, and easy enough. Just don't get in the blade's way. The second is either straight ahead, or off to the right side. The straight ahead one is the same, just farther, and you have a tiny chicken to avoid. The one on the right requires you to get pretty far on the left, turn diagnolly, facing the hole, and let a rip! The third is usually just another straightaway shot, but you have the blade, the little chicken, a hole, and a big chicken. Line yourself up properly and fire while the blade is off to one side, the little chicken is far away, and the big chicken is in the center. You should get past all of them, dip into the hole, come up, and win! Your Prize Is- Sometimes Rupees, sometimes a Piece of Heart, and sometimes a bigger bomb bag. 7. Fishing Location- Lake Hylia, both as an adult and as a child. How To "Win"- Read the man's instructions and follow them, because I have better things to do than to rewrite them. I will say this, go to the far end of the pool, where the water comes out, and cast. Big lunkers there. Your Prize Is- Rupees for anything that breaks the current record. Also, a Heart piece for a 10-pounder as a kid. Golden Scale for a 15 20 pounder as an adult. -------------------------------------------------------------- Boss Guide -------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- Boss of the Deku Tree: GOHMA -------------------------------------------------------------- Difficulty Rating: * 1/2 Necessary Items: Fairy Slingshot w/Ammo and/or Deku Nuts Alrighty then, you've reached Zelda's first boss. Trust me, this thing is pretty easy, as long as you're used to Z-targeting and using your slingshot. Before you go in, at least have 5-10 Deku seeds, and full life (3 hearts at the time). When you first walk in, use C-up to spot a light on the far wall. I advise you to get away from the door you came in when you do this. She should come down, but if she doesn't, keep looking at her, and even fire a few Deku seeds at the light to get her down. She'll get her little opening sequence, and get very close to you in the process. Now,Z-target her, and walk slowly away. Now, when the eye turns red, quickly pull out your slingshot and fire a Deku seed at her. A Deku Nut works just fine, but I prefer the Slingshot. Now, run up and slash like crazy. A jumping attack (A+forward) is useful. You should get in 3-4 hits before she retreats to the wall. Now, manually aim the slingshot and hit the eye again before she drops the eggs. If you succeed, she'll come back down, just waiting to be pegged with another Deku seed. If you fail, 3 eggs will come down, and if not destroyed right away, will turn into baby Gohmas. Don't worry, slash away, each takes 2 hits, and the eye must be red. Now, GOHMA will come down. Repeat process as necessary, and she'll be dead. Grab the heart container and leave. HAHAHAHAHA! Um... OK. -------------------------------------------------------------- Boss Of Dodongo's Cavern: KING DODONGO -------------------------------------------------------------- Difficulty Rating: ** Necessary Items: Bombs Helpful Items: Hlyian Shield If you're like me, you played the original Zelda, and can beat this big goof already. If not, you'll need this. OK, first, make sure you have quite a few bombs, and full health (just in case that fire catches you) You're in a circular shaped room, with lava in the center. Starting out, Dodongo will immediately try to breathe fire on you. 2 options here: 1. Pull out a bomb, throw it in his mouth, and haul a$$ AS FAST AS YOU CAN! Or try 2. Run away. I chose number 2, but if you're adventurous, try number 1. Anyways, after getting a bomb in his mouth when he opens it up, he'll fall to the ground. Start slashing, and he'll begin to get up. Again, two options. You can either get out of his way, 'cause he's about to turn into a rolling ball, or keep slashing. The second idea will get an extra hit or two off on the King, but you'll lose 1/4 heart energy. Your choice. After he stops rolling, go chuck another bomb into his mouth. You all know what to do now. Oh geez people, pick up the freakin' Heart Container and enter the blue light! For Christ's sake! -------------------------------------------------------------- Sub-Boss of Jabu-Jabu's Belly: BigOcto -------------------------------------------------------------- Difficulty Rating: ** 1/2 Necessary Items: Boomerang This one shouldn't be too hard if you read Navi's hint. Without it, it could take a while. Simply hit it with the boomerang and stand close to it on one side. It will start spinning, and has about a 70% chance of going away from you. If it does, nail it with the boomerang, and slash up his backside. If he comes toward you, oh well. You can attempt to jump up to the platform if you'd like a quick escape, but normally the side spikes'll cut you up. Keep on doing this, and very soon he'll be dead. I do believe he leaves you a key, elevator, or whatnot. -------------------------------------------------------------- Boss of Jabu-Jabu's Belly: BARINADE -------------------------------------------------------------- Difficulty Rating: ** 1/2 Necessary Items: Boomerang Actually, I THINK you can beat this thing without boomerangs, since jellyfish are vulnerable to bombs. Who cares, you have to get the boomerang anyway. I don't know about you, but to me, this doesn't seem like a prize for your efforts. Alright, key thing to remember here is that all the pots in the room contain hearts. No need for potions if you are any good. Don't fool around with this baby, trust me. It is hanging by 3 tentacles to the ceiling at the beginning of the fight. Try and Z-Target them, then take them out with your boomerang. Try and Z-Target the center one first, because it might allow you to take out all three with a single shot. Oh yeah, forgot to mention, electrical blasts are coming at you all the while J. Run around the perimeter while throwing. Next, freakish Beri's (jellyfish) come swinging at you. Electrical blasts AND jellyfish, ouchies! Stand against a wall to avoid the jellyfish, and keep throwing that boomerang. You may actually hit a few if you do. Eventually, they'll stop, and so might the blasts. Take out enough with your boomerang to expose the core. Get close (easier said than done) and boomerang it. It's stunned. Run in there and slash like crazy man until something knocks you back out. The jellyfish grow back, so just keep repeating this. It IS possible; I did it on my first try, only getting about 2 or 3 extra hearts from the heart pots in the room. Go to the Temple of Time now. It's in Hyrule Market. Get the LOOOOOOONG cut-scene. -------------------------------------------------------------- Boss of the Forest Temple: Evil Spirit From Beyond: PHANTOM GANONDORF -------------------------------------------------------------- Difficulty Rating: ** 1/2 Necessary Items: Bow and Arrows Anybody wanna know something funny? You don't need the sword for this fight. You can substitute the bottle for part two and arrows for part three. Heh heh, oh that's stupid. Long name, quick fight. Step into the center of the platform, in-between all of the paintings, then try to get back out. Door closes, boss intro time. OK, he jumps into a painting. Pull out your bow, to get the view. You'll see him charging out of two different paintings. One is the real him, and the other is, well, you know. The one that turns back is a fake, the one who gets a huge purple energy cloud is the real one. Nail him FAST with an arrow. If you miss, stand somewhere on the perimeter. This increases your chance of avoiding the energy blast from 5% to about 50%. Watch out, it takes away two hearts. After three successful shots, he floats in the air. Z-Target him, and keep swinging your sword. He shoots a blast at you, and you bounce it back at him with your sword. He might hit it back, so look out. You may find yourself playing ping-pong with him for about 45 seconds sometimes. Longer it bounces, more it hurts. If it hits him, he goes down. Start slashing. You may not get a hit off if it didn't bounce very long. Repeat this process, and the punk is dead! If you don't know the drill by now you aren't worthy of an explanation damnit! -------------------------------------------------------------- Sub-Boss of the Fire Temple: Flare Dancer -------------------------------------------------------------- Difficulty Rating: * Necessary Items: Either bombs or the Hookshot How easy! When it comes out in flames, Z-Target it, and use the Hookshot to pull the black ball out. Slash the black ball as much as possible. Chase it around, because now it has no attack or defense. Go one way, then the other, to catch it good. It'll hop back into the flames after a while. A good way to hurt it while it's in the flames is to use a bomb to get it out. Bombs also work well when it's in its black ball form. Again, very easy. -------------------------------------------------------------- Boss of the Fire Temple: Subterranean Lava Dragon: VOLVAGIA -------------------------------------------------------------- Difficulty Rating: *** Necessary Items: Megaton Hammer Helpful Items: Arrows, Hookshot But this guy isn't! You need the Megaton Hammer to face off with him. Best intro for a boss in the game so far, IMO. Volvagia? Actually, I like to refer to him as Puff The Flamethrowing Dragon, or The Big Red Retard, but whatever. Man, that mighta been the first good joke of this FAQ. Alright, when you see lava spewing from one of the holes, get close. Not too close, as it comes out and whips it's head. Now, charge, and hit it with the hammer. Make sure not to miss, as you only get one swing. After that, do a normal attack, or back up just out of sword range. Swing, and set up for a light charge attack, get close, and nail it. All of this must be done very fast, or else it won't work. It goes up and starts chasing you, shooting fire. Just run circles around it. Actually, I like to run half circles, rolling under his body when necessary. You can get him back underground the by Z-Targeting and shooting arrows, or the less-effective Hookshot. When he goes back down, repeat the hammer/sword process, and he leaves. HUGE rocks start falling. Two choices, one being running around like mad, and avoiding any rock particles, and two being standing still on a certain spot on the perimeter. I've tried #2 three times, and it's worked all three. Also, after a while, he'll fake you out by spewing lava out of one hole, then going to another. Be careful. Keep repeating this crappy process, and sooner or later the little monkey dies. -------------------------------------------------------------- Sub-Boss of the Water Temple: Dark Link -------------------------------------------------------------- Difficulty: 1/2 (with Din's Fire) *** 1/2 (without it) Necessary Items: None Helpful Items: Deku Nuts, Din's Fire, some potions Well, his name depends on your name. If your name is Buttmonkey, he'll be Dark Buttmonkey. You've probably tried your weapons, and found that none of them work. He blocks the sword attacks, backflips or front rolls away from the Hookshot and the arrows, and even had your lunge attack sidestepped. Well, there are four different approaches to this chowderhead, all of which I've tried. The first, and best, is to use Din's Fire against him. Bring at least two green potions with you if you are going to try this method. You can also throw Deku Nuts at him, but odds are you will run out before he is dead. If you do, just finish him off with Din. Two other methods require precision and timing. You can just sit there and let him wail on you, holding your shield up, then swing right after he does. The strike will get past his shield if done perfectly. Also, you can swordfight him, swinging as rapidly as possible, then ever so slightly, move forward and to the right, then swing QUICK. Note: The last two methods require some potion, because he freezes you quite often when you are close and swinging. After fighting him, you at least get the Longshot, a hookshot upgrade. It allows you to reach the boss's chamber in this devilishly tricky maze. -------------------------------------------------------------- Boss of the Water Temple: Giant Aquatic Amoeba: MORPHA -------------------------------------------------------------- Difficulty: * 1/2 (using my idea) **** (not using it, but I haven't tried any other ways) Necessary Items: Hookshot This is, by far, the game's easiest boss. No, scratch that, it's the game's easiest ENEMY period. When you walk in, after Navi says some crap, get on a platform. Nice intro by MORPHA, now jump into a corner of the room. There is nothing more relieving after hours of playing the Water Temple than to see the water tentacle lunge at you, and stop a few feet short. It can't reach you from here! Joy! Now, Longshot the nucleus out, and nail it with your sword. After doing this quite a few times, it will leave the tentacle, and a second one will form. While the tentacle tries to get you (and misses, thank God), keep Longshotting the nucleus and hitting it. COOOOOOL death scene, where the nucleus explodes, and the water evaporates. BTW, the nucleus doesn't turn red when it gets hit, so it doesn't look like you caused damage, but you did. Phew , that level is finally over. After a meeting with Shiek (or Impa?), go to Kakariko Village. Cut scene time, baby! Next, you'll need to become a kid, and go to Kakariko Village's windmill. Play the Song of Storms, and go into the well. Wait, this ain't a Walkthrough! -------------------------------------------------------------- Boss of the Kakariko Village Well: Dead Hand -------------------------------------------------------------- Difficulty: * 1/2 Necessary Items: None Quick level, easy boss. You'll be in a room with four hands sticking out of the ground. Well, as strange as it might sound, let one of those hands grab you. The main monster will pop up. Now, tap any button repeatedly to get back out. Charge up your sword for a heavy magic attack. When it lowers its head, attack. He'll run back into the ground, creating an explosion of dirt. Now, keep repeating that process (I'm getting sick of saying that) to defeat Dead Hand and gain the unneeded Lens of Truth. Well, it's technically unneeded, but I dare anybody to try and beat the Shadow Temple Without it. Great, now you get the Nocturne of Shadow (I think). Use it to go to the graveyard. Walk into the hole behind you and use Din's fire while standing on the platform to light the torches and open the door. (Hey, this isn't a Walkthrough! Wait, I said that before.) -------------------------------------------------------------- Boss of the Shadow Temple: Phantom Shadow Beast: BONGO BONGO -------------------------------------------------------------- Difficulty: *** 1/2 Necessary Items: Arrows or Hookshot Helpful Items: Lens Of Truth (you don't need it!), Quiver Upgrade, almost all other items (seriously Man, you went through hell and a half, and this is what you get? Man, this sucks! Oh yeah, put on your Hover Boots before dropping onto the drum, it looks cool. Um. yeah. First of all, strap on the UNNEEDED Lens of Truth, and pull out the arrows. Z-Target one hand, and use 2-3 shots, hoping at least one hits. It's now paralyzed, but the other hand will probably hit you now. Let's see, there's the punch, ouchies. The Bitch Slap, which could knock you off thedrum into green poisonous crap. The squeezer also hurts badly. If both hands are active, there' the clapping, and the shove. Anyways, if you paralyze both hands, Bongo Bongo's face comes into the screen. Keep swinging the sword, or peg it with any item you have. When it falls limp, run up and slash like hell. Anywhere from 1-10 hits are possible, so make it count. If fast, you can kill it with Biggoron's sword only knocking it down once :). After you repeat this process (there's that phrase again!) many, many times, or very few times, the Bongster goes down for good, and you get a funny-looking death scene. Oh yeah, betcha can't guess what else you get? No, I won't tell you, you monkey. You silly little monkey. -------------------------------------------------------------- Sub-Boss of the Spirit Temple (3 Times!): Ironknuckle -------------------------------------------------------------- Difficulty: ** (If equipped) *** (if not) Necessary Items: None Helpful Items: Bombs, Bombchus, Slingshot Well, basically this sucker is just a big knight with an oversized, double-bladed axe that he likes to swing at people. If you are equipped with a load of bombs and/or Bombchus, then just stay a safe distance away, using those things on him. When he speeds up, it makes it more difficult to use bombs, so switch to Bombchus. If you're not equipped, you're in for a toughie. Z-Target him, get in close, and right when he starts to swing, GET THE HELL OUTTA HIS F***ING WAY!!!! Um, I'm better now. The axe will get stuck in the ground, allowing you to nail him a few times before he can get it back out. Lather, rinse, repeat. This guy appears before the Mirror Shield, before the Silver Gauntlets, and before Twinrova. -------------------------------------------------------------- Boss of the Spirit Temple: TWINROVA -------------------------------------------------------------- Difficulty: ** 1/2 Necessary Items: Mirror Shield This one has some cheesy sound effects, but that's cool. No, actually it's lame, but what do I care? The are two of them, so I'd suggest getting on one of the outer platforms and using twisted Z-Targeting to pull this one off. Put on the Hover Boots, just incase. Alright, you need to bounce the fire attack at the ice sister 3-4 times, or vice versa. I suggest Z-Targeting the one firing at you, and right before you block it, switch your targeting to the other sister. You gotta time it right, based on speed, movement, and distance. No, I don't know what I'm talking about, but I had you fooled. After the first few hits, they "get serious" and turn into a woman with HUGE breasts. Link's face upon her, um, "showing off" to him is priceless :). Alright, she fires 3 fireballs, 3 Iceballs, etc. Absorb the first three shots she throws at you. Absorbing is done by blocking with the Mirror Shield, you dummy. Once you absorb number three, she falls, you use the Hover Boots to get to her, you slash away. And then, guess what you do? That's right, you REPEAT! Then you leave, because I said to. No, don't get the Heart Piece, because then you can't get the Triforce, duh!!! -------------------------------------------------------------- Sub-Boss of Ganon's Tower: GANONDORF -------------------------------------------------------------- Difficulty Rating: **** 1/2 Necessary Items: Light Arrows Helpful Items: Bottle (for light-fighting, but I suggest the sword) Hardest boss in the game, by far. When he smashes, to start off the fight, run straight backwards and pray. Yeah, you'd probably better keep the Hover Boots on as well, since you're about 100 feet up, on a circular ring around Ganondorf's square platform in the center reading me type one of the longest sentences in the history of the world and wondering if it will ever end which it probably will right about now. Alright, when he shoots that ball of condensed energy at you, hit it back with whatever you wanna. These Ping-Pong games can last LOOOOOONG, but you probably won't notice it anyway. When it finally hits him (hopefully), pull out a Light Arrow, and quickly hit him. Anywhere. If he falls, hover on over to him and wail with Biggoron's Sword, or the Master Sword if you don't have it. Guess the freak what? You repeat the process! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! OH yeah, two notes on Ganondorf's surprises. If you wait around on the platform he's on, he'll do his best M. Bison fist slam into the ground move. WTF? Does Bison even do that? My god, I need sleep. OK, also, his dreaded black hole throw. If you're waiting for the next energy ball, and you see him float higher, and blackness forming over his head, Charge up your sword. Once things come at you, release. WHAM, he doesn't bounce that back often. If you have no magic, fall. Take the heart or so away, instead of the major damage that will inflict. If you're low on life, you could try to jump to the climbable wall on his platform, or just quickly roll around on your circle and hope you don't get hit. I would suggest bringing in green or the ultimate blue potion to this fight, if it's available. -------------------------------------------------------------- Boss of Ganon's Tower, The Game, The Series, and all else: GANON -------------------------------------------------------------- Difficulty: ** 1/2 (with potions) *** 1/2 (without) Necessary Items: Light Arrows, Megaton Hammer Helpful Items: Every other weapon on the C menu that you CAN use Well, you've finally made it here, and if you're playing at night, you're probably thinking "Whoa." And nothing else. Yes, it's you and Ganon surrounded by a ring of fire. Also, you don't have the Master Sword. HAHA, you silly little fool. Pull out those Light Arrows after the shock wears off, Z-Target his face, and peg him. Run around to his tail, whip out the Megaton Hammer or the Biggoron's sword, and smack him. For the very last time, REPEAT! Sooner or later, he falls, unconscious. Go to Zelda and get The Master Sword, then rejoin the fight. Oh yeah, if you A: Fail to get the Master Sword quick enough or B: Use other weapons, the fight will never end. Anyways, the Light Arrow trick still works, and you can finish him off this way, if you have enough MP, and arrows. Also, bust open the pillars like with Ironknuckle to get some Magic and Arrows. Enjoy the awesome game-ending sequence, and sit at the end to hear, if you got it, the Scarecrow's Song, six times, 1 minute apart each time, in different instruments. I really think that the Master Sword thing with the bells should have been the end. That is the greatest scene from a video game ever. Seriously. Oh yeah, in case you run out of Magic/Arrows, three other tactics. 1. Simply roll under his legs, Z-Target the tail, and hit it. Right when he raises his swords up, hit a to roll through. Perfect. With a little timing and good luck, you'll soon be able to do this with ease. If not, you're screwed. Sorry, I can't help you there, now can I? 2. Z-Target the face, and do a bunch of quick sidesteps to get around to the back of him. Then open up a can on the big blue beast. Hehe, I kinda like that name. Anyways, it's pretty easy, just as long as you don't screw up when you near his swords. BIG ouchies, especially the extra heart that comes when you hit the fire. 3. Desperation drove me to this, the first time I beat him. Pull out something, ANYTHING that can reach his face, and use it as a substitute for the Light Arrows. Granted, he'll only be stunned for about half of a second, but keep firing while slowly moving towards his tail. I got a few hits this way. -------------------------------------------------------------- Gold Skulltula Locations -------------------------------------------------------------- Well, I found about 80-something of these little golden dudes on my own, the rest I owe to RCarlos and Marshmallow. I'll try to be as detailed as possible, but you should have a general feel for the areas already. In case you don't know, the Skulltula Family, in Kakariko willage, was very rich. Then, one day, they were cursed due to their greed and sentenced to live as spiders until someone destroyed the Golden Skulltulas and collected their tokens. Of course, since Link loves helping out evil people in return for bribes, he's finding 'em. Every time you have enough tokens for a prize, go to the House Of Skulltula and talk to the person you meet there. At the beginning, there are no people, only spiders. Your prizes are as follows: 10 Tokens= An adult's wallet (Holds up to 200 rupees) 20 Tokens= The Stone Of Agony (Your Rumble Pak Rumbles when near secrets) 30 Tokens= Giant's Wallet (Holds up to 500 rupees) 40 Tokens= Ten Bombchus (Bomb-creatures that run up walls) 50 Tokens= A Piece of Heart 100 Tokens= A gold rupee (which you can get over and over!) Bottom of the Well (3 Gold Skulltulas) This one is worthy of a mini-walkthrough, such as Marshmallow gave it, but I was WAY too lost to do that. Suffice to say you should treat this like a normal level, opening chests and getting keys. Use your Lens of Truth sparingly. Oh, and remember, those yellowish piles in the corners. Some can be blown up. As a Child... 1. In the cage with the Like-Like. That, my friends, is a very scary thought. If you let it take your gear, and get swallowed up again, both while OUTSIDE of the cage, he'll bring you inside. Hehe, what a trick. 2. Put on your Lens of Truth to find a hidden path to an aclove with a Skulltula inside. 3. In a room with a Deku Baba and flying pots. It's on the wall, lame brain. Death Mountain Crater (2 Golden Skulltulas) As a Child... 4. Play the Bolero of Fire as a child, and you should be very near a soft soil location. I hope you know the drill by now, and if not, you aren't worthy of an explanation! 5. At the summit of Death Mountain, use the entrance to the Crater. There is a crate on the left side of the little hallway you come in. Roll into it/bomb it/sledgehammer it/shoot yourself and kill the Skulltula that pops out. Death Mountain Trail (4 Golden Skulltulas) As a Child... 6.When you first enter the trail, examine the right siide of the wall. A patch of it looks a little strange. Obviously, it can be bombed. Once you DO bomb it, you can kill the Gold Skulltula inside. Later on the trail, there is more of this. 7. See the soft soil spot in front of the entrance to Dodongo's Cavern? Well, guess what? You plant a bug in there, and kill the Skulltula which pops out! As an Adult... 8. At night, Go to the wall where the Skullwalltulas are guarding the summit. You'll probably hear the noise if you walk around enough. Anyways, behind one of those boulders is a Golden Skulltula. 9. Also at night, go back to where you through the bomb off the ledge to open up Dodongo's Cavern. Remember, just take a left before Goron City. Same thing as described above. Desert Colossus (3 Golden Skulltulas) As a Child... 10. Right next to the Temple's entrance, there is a spot of soft soil. The next person to ask what to do next gets a swift kick in the nuts! As an Adult... 11. Look up in one of the palm trees. There is the little bugger. Simply use Public Enemy #1, The Hookshot. 12. If you plant a magistical bean at the soft soil spot (well, where ELSE?) near the entrance to the Spirit Temple, as an adult you can ride it to pick up a Skulltula or a Heart Piece. Gerudo Fortress (2 Golden Skulltulas) As an Adult (Well, DUH!)... 13. Go to the horse archery range and look on I believe the northernmost big target. Nearly impossible to miss. I think it stays there if you play the game. Silly Skulltula. 14. Hard to describe. You know how when you first walk in, if you turn right, you're facing the fortress? This Skulltula is somewhere on the wall straight ahead from there. Get high up, and employ the Hoverboots to reach a close platform. Gerudo Valley (4 Golden Skulltulas) As a Child... 15. Get on the board bridge and take a looksie to the right. There it is, right behind the waterfall. 16. Grab a Cucco, and get to the right side of the big gap before the bridge. Jump, and try and land on a ledge with a cow and a Gerudo. Soft soil can be found there, which means... well, you know. As an Adult... 17. Look behind the tent where the carpetners are hanging out. There it is, plain as day and not to easy to miss. 18. Right in front of the entrance to the Gerudo Fortress. Look up high, and I think this sucker is hanging around on a stone pillar or something. Not easy to overlook. Goron City (2 Golden Skulltulas) As a Child... 19. Once you have obtained bombs, look around on the uppermost level until you run into a room full of rocks. Destroy the ones you can with bombs until you make it to the end. Some rupees, and a crate. Betcha can't guess what's inside. As Either Link... 20. Remember that platform way high up suspended by ropes? If you look carefully, you see a Skulltula just hanging on the outside of it. You can use bombs, Din's Fire, the Slingshot, Boomerang, Hookshot, arrows, or sword attack to kill it, and the boomerang, hookshot, or your body to get the token. Haunted Wasteland (1 Golden Skulltula) As an Adult... 21. You know the building where the invisible Poe Guide speaks to you? Yeah, that's the one. Drop down in there and wail mercilessly on one of the last surviving members of the endangered species, the Golden Skulltulas. Hyrule Castle (2 Golden Skulltulas) As a child... 22. Right when you enter, you'll see a tree in front of you. Roll into it, and VIOLA! A Skulltula pops out. I suggest rolling into it from the side. The last time I did it, the thing fell on my head. 23. Go to where you woke Talon up, and turn around. See that tree over there in the corner. Go up to it and play the Song of Storms. Fall in there hole revealed. Atta boy, now just hunt down the Golden One. As an Adult (The place is now Ganon's Castle)... 24. You see that stone arch? Yeah, the first guard was there as a child. Well, go through it, and you'll hear the all too nnoying "Shoosh shoosh shoosh shoosh" of the Skulltula. Turn around and blast its ass! Hyrule Field (2 Golden Skulltulas) As Either Link... 25. Go to the steps near Kakariko Village. Now, take a left, and you should see a lone tree and Hyrule Castle. Now, take out a bomb and place it next to the tree, and back up. Go into the hole that appeared, and destroy the Spider down there. 26. See that silevr rock in front or the entrance to Gerudo Valley? The one with a circle of stones around it? Become an adult, and use the Megaton Hammer on it. You can go in the hold revealed as a kid or adult though. There's a cow in there. And a Giant Skulltula too. Hyrule Market (1 Golden Skulltula) As a child... 27. Go to the area inbetween Hyrule Field and the actual Market. enter the door on the side. See the crate next to the guard? It had a Skulltula in it. Bust it open, and kill the darn thing. Kakariko Village (8 Golden Skulltulas) As a child... 28. At night, look on the ladder of the tremendously large lookout tower. The Golden Skulltula should be on there. 29. At night, it's on the back of the House of Skulltula. Obviously, you're supposed to kill it and get the token, nimrod. 30. At night, Look for a house near Death Mountain Trail. On the side is your Golden Skulltula. For some reason, the door to this building is locked. Why? 31. At night, look for the big construction site, near the well. On the back of one of the stacks of bricks is a Golden Skulltula. 32.At night, look on the wall of Dampe the Gravekeeper's House, in the graveyard. There it is, my friends. 33. There is a patch of soft soil in the graveyard. Plant in the bug, and slap the Skulltula that pops out. 34. When you first come in, at night, roll into the tree that is dead ahead. Guess what pops out? No, it's NOT the Triforce. As an Adult... 35. Look on the roof of Impa's House at night. Requires the Hookshot. Impa's House is just right of the entrance, and has a guard standing in front of it. Kokiri Forest (3 Golden Skulltulas) As Young Link... 36. Let loose a bug on the patch of soft soil here. Obviously, after a few seconds, out pops Mr. Skulltula, just waiting to be killed. Yippe! 37. At night, look on the back of the Know-It-All Brothers' House. You need the Boomerang to get the token, and the Slingshot or Boomerang to kill it. I think. As Adult Link... 38. Look on the back of the Twins' House at night. Way up there, isn't it? You need the Hookshot if you are to collect the token from the poor dead one. Lake Hylia (5 Golden Skulltulas) As a Child... 39. At night, look on one of the tiny islands out in the distance. I believe there are about three. Good, who cares, kill the damn spider and get it over with already! What did it do to you, anyway!?! 40. Look on the hard-to-reach back of the science lab. Since it's on the waterside, you need to get far away to view it. Hence, the boomerang is a necessity to capture the token. 41. There is a patch of soft soil in front of the science lab as a Child..........no, I'm not going to elaborate on that. As an Adult... 42. Use the Serenade of Water to warp here. At night, use you freaking Longshot or Din's Fire to wipe out that Gold Skulltula way high in the tree. Keep Longshotting up there now, just trying to get at the token. 43. After you've got the Iron Boots, go into the science lab and use them to sink to the bottom. In the crate down there, you'll find a Gold Skulltula. The Lon Lon Ranch (4 Golden Skulltulas) As a child... 44. Come in at night, and look on the second-story window of Talon's House. See the Skulltula. You'll need the Boomerang to retrieve the token. 45. Go to the one and only tree in the entire ranch. It's right at the beginning of the corral. Just roll right on into it. 46. Remember where you (might have) gotten the Piece of Heart? Way in the back, that little shed with the cows in it? Well, now there's a Golden Skulltula hanging around there. Kill it, you vile fiend! 47. You know the circular fence that sort of keeps the horses inside of it? On the "back, there is sort of a wodden thing. Kill the Skulltula you find there. Well, you don't HAVE to, but you know. Lost Woods (3 Golden Skulltulas) As a Child... 48. Remember the bridge that goes from Kokiri Forest to Hyrule Field? In the room below is a soft soil spot. Plant a bug and watch it grow up. I believe this is left, left from the entrance. 49. Deeper in to the Woods is another soft soil spot. Plant another bug in there. Just be careful of the Deku Scrubs constantly firing at you. As an Adult... 50. Go back to where you found Lost Woods Golden Skulltula #2 as a child. Hear that noise. As a kid, you can plant a bean in the soft soil, and ride the platform up to the Skulltula as an adult. However, using Din's Fire to kill it and the Longshot to retrieve it is possible as well, but very hard. Sacred Forest Meadow (1 Golden Skulltula) As an Adult... 51. When you get near the end, close to the Moblin with the club, take a left and look up. There it is, BABY! Zora's Domain (1 Golden Skulltula) 52. Go to the top of the now-frozen waterfall. The place where you played the Diving Game {See Mini-Games} as a kid. Look to your left. Now, get the right angle and blast it with your Hookshot. Zora's Fountain (3 Golden Skulltulas) As a Child... 53. Alright, at night, look around until you find a "meaningless" log in the water. It's big, so hop onto it. Follow it to the wall, and kill the Skulltula you find there. 54. Go to that island way in the back. See the lonely tree over here? Guess what you get for having the ingenuity to roll into it? As an Adult... 55. Go back to that lonely island which you got the LAST Golden Skulltula at. Pick up the rock if you have the Silver Gauntlets, or just dispatch of it with a few blows from the Megaton Hammer (can you do that?). Down below, kill the 3 invisible Skulltulas (not golden, not giant, not wall, just normal) and proceed to wipe out lil' Mr. Golden down there. Zora's River (4 Golden Skulltulas) As a Child... 56. As usual, there is a tree at the entrance which you can roll into. And, as if I NEEDED to tell you, inside of it is a Golden Skulltula. 57. Get to the very end, and then just simply drop down. Yes, it's shallow enough to stand in. At night, there is a Gold Skulltula on the ladder. You know what to do, right? As an Adult... 58. At night, go all the way to the wooden bridge near the entrance to Zora's Domain. Look up. It's WAY HIGH on a wall. Oh yeah, and watch out for the Octorok spitting at you. 59. Get up to that large piece of land where I believe you can also obtain a Heart Piece. Anyways, a wall up there at night hols JUST what you want. Well, I ran into some alphabetizing problems. Anyways, I was moving things around, and the levels ended up here, at the end somehow. Almost in perfect order, too. Strange. Here, take 'em! Inside The Deku Tree (4 Golden Skulltulas) As a Child... 60. Go to the Compass room, where you raise the three plaforms. One of them leads you to an aclove with a You-Know-What inside. Be careful, heh heh heh. 61. When you break spiderweb number one, look on the vines which are the way back up. There's what you're looking for, baby! 62. In that same room, look for a hole with wooden bars across it. I suggest the Boomerang, if you haven't already gotten the token. As Either Link... 63. There is a room with a torch, and two burnable spiderwebs. Now, a Deku Baba is behind one of them, and the exit to the room is behind the other. Go to the Deku Baba, kill him, and bomb the wall behind him. Please note that this is only possible as Child Link once you have defeated the Forest Temple, since the Great Deku Tree shuts after that. Dodongo's Cavern (5 Golden Skulltulas) As a Child... 64. Go to the room where you had to detonate many bombs at the same time to create a staircase? Go there, get on the walkway, walk around to find some bombs, and kill the Golden Skulltula. Also, kill the Skullwalltula just because. 65. This is sort of a toughie. Go in, and climb onto the elevator. Go into the room with the switchblades and make your way to the ladder that DOESN'T have a blue block at its base. You're now in the room where you had to make the stairs with bombs, but in an odd location. Go left on the path and lcimb up the vines. Now, kill the Skulltula you find up there and take its precious token. Ever wonder how they carry these things around? Or how they can stay in 1 spot for 7 years? 66. Take a right when in the main room. Alright, now you should be in a hallway with a bunch of Dodongo Larva. Examine the right side wall, and either use your own bomb, or detonate a Larva near the funny-looking part. Circle the Armos to find the hidden Skulltula. 67. Go through the Dodongo Head and into the room with the blocks. A section of the right wall looks a wee bit funny. Bomb it, and you have the same Armos/Skulltula setup as in the previous spider. As an Adult... 68. Go back into the Dodongo Larva hallway where you got the third Skulltula in here as a kid. Look up and left until Navi turns green. Play the Scarecorw's Song and Hookshot your way up there. Now how easy was that? Oh yeah, KILL THE SPIDER! Inside Lord Jabu-Jabu's Belly (4 Golden Skulltulas) As a Child... 69. Look in the holes where Princess Ruto was first seen. One of them leads to the area that this thing is on. Just Boomerang to kill it and get the token back 70. Basically just a few mere feet away from the previous one. Kill it in the same fashion, I suppose. These 2 look abnormally large for some reason. Eh. 71. The room with water between two pieces of land, with the switch on the water. Some vines on the right side of the room. Just kill it via boomerang or slingshot and climb the vines to retrieve the token. You just CANNOT miss this. 72. Room before the boss, where you've gotta flip the switch to open the door. Climbing up the vines, you'll probably at least hear this one. Seek and destroy my friends, seek and destroy. Forest Temple As an Adult... 73. In the very first room, dispatch of the Wolfos and use the climbable vines on the right side. Remember, Gold Skulltulas don't move. Climb to the platform and Hookshot it to death, then pick up the token. 74. In the main room, with the torches and ghosties and crap, he's right there on the wall. Man, even if you WANTED to you couldn't beat this level without killing it. That "Sheesh sheesh sheesh sheesh" noise would drive you insane. 75. Go to the high up plant rooms, and drop down off of a balcony. Well, that was quite easy, now wasn't it. 76. You've seen this one by now, I'm sure. The room with the well in it? Well, you should use the treasure chest as a Hookshot target, then look up on the wall and kill it. Silly me, I never thought of that at first, and didn't come back to kill it until I got the Longshot. 77. In the room in front of the Boss Room, push the wall until you find a Giant Skulltula. Kill it, go inside, and blast the Golden Skulltula. Fire Temple (5 Golden Skulltulas) As an Adult... 78. Go to the huge room with the bridge leading across it. Find the blue block and play the Song Of Time. Go into the now-accessable room, and kill the Golden Skulltula inside. 79. There are two rooms with spinning tiles flying at you and a Like-Like at the end. One leads to the Boss Key. Look behind the Like-Like in this one. Hi Mr. Skulltula. Bye Mr. Skulltula. 80. Go to the boulder maze room type thing, lower level. You know how there are some overhangs, and the camera will change to normal view when you get in these? Most lead to a door, one leads to the freakin' Skulltula noise. Bomb the floor, and kill the Skulltula you find. 81. On the upper level of the boulder maze, look for a place to play the Scarecrow's Song. Do that, and follow the platforms in the sky to get to the next victim on your Skulltula list. 82. Go to the room where you found the Megaton Hammer. Look for the island which seems to be floating in midair. Any further instructions on my part would only serve to insult your intelligence. Ice Cavern (3 Golden Skulltulas) As an Adult... 83. Go to the room with the helicopter slicing blade. Go to the side with icicles and the Golden Sklltula. Smask the icicles and hug the wall so you can use the Hookshot without worrying about the blade. 84. Find the odd room where you have to manuever the large blacks of ice around. I believe you know what to do now, and if you don't, tough luck. 85. Remember where you went into that aclove to get the Piece of Heart out of the Red Ice? In the Compass room? It's around there somewhere. You have more red ice to burn, if memory serves. Water Temple (5 Golden Skulltulas) 86. Face the area where Princess Ruto used to be, but take a left and go in that hallway. The water must be lwoered so you can use a bomb on the crack in the floor. When you get to the grate, use a spin slash (or Din's Fire, or whatever) Kill the SKulltula inside. 87. When you get the Longshot, drop into the hole behind it. Above the third vortex (one is at the beginning and easy to miss) on the wall is GS. 88. After acquiring the Longshot, go into the central pillar and get way high up. Atta boy! Now, kill the Skulltula and retrieve its token with the Longshot. Now, wasn't that easy? No. 89. Remember that waterfall that spit out boulders? It was before the Boss Key, remember? Yeah, put onthe iron boots and get near the waterfall. On the wall is the ruthless, cunning, savvy, immobile Golden Skulltula. LoL. 90. In the room before you face Dark Link (I think) it's a waterfall type thing. Platforms going down into the center, you've gotta get from one side to the other. Look on the right wall. Longshot must be used to get the token. Shadow Temple (4 Golden Skulltulas) 91. It the room with the Iron Maiden type contraption coming down form the ceiling, block it with a blokc first of all. Exploring the cages will find you a Golden Skulltula. Ain't that just dandy? 92. Look behind those large, blue, spinning skulls. Not much else to say about this one. 93. In the area with the Wallmaster, guillotines, and Stalfos, turn left when you beat the Stalfos and use the Lens of Truth to follow the invisible path. Collecting Silver rupees in this next room opens the door to a Golden Skulltula. Put the Lens of Truth on in this room, trust me. 94. Stand on the Triforce symbol where you would normally play Zelda's Lullaby to get the ship moving. Look to your left and play the Scarecrow's Song. Longshot to Pierre and kill the Golden Skulltula you find up there. Sprit Temple (6 Golden Skulltulas) As a Child... 95. Go to the room with the Sun Icon on a block, that wants to see the light. Walk into the room that contains that Iron Knuckle. Look at the door behind you. Youch! 96. Go through tunnel numebr one, next to Nabooru, and go right. Use the Boomerang to destroy it, since it's on the grating. 97. Go through the second tunnel, then the locked, door, and then climb the wall, knocking out those pesky Skullwalltulas. Turn around, and you get an ugly sight. As an Adult... 98. Go into that big area with the large female Egyptian statue. Go up the stairs and search for a spot to use the Scarecrow's Song. When you find it, use it. Duh. 99. There is a big, rotating skull here, like there was in the Shadow Temple. And, once again, lurking behind it is a Golden Skulltula. 100. Go to the room with the boudlers rolling about where you have to jump in acloves to get silver rupees. Play the Song of Time to move the blue block. Behind it is a Gold Skulltula. -------------------------------------------------------------- Weapons/Equipment/Clothing/Items -------------------------------------------------------------- YL= Only usable as Young Link AL= Only usable as Adult Link BL= Take a wild guess :) Swords: Kokiri Sword (YL)- Your worst sword. However, it's the only sword usable as a child, so you're stuck with it for then. At least most of the enemies are too weak to withstand more than a few shots. It's found in the Kokiri Training Center, on the southern area of the Kokiri Forest. Master Sword (AL)- Probably the games most well-rounded sword. Twice as powerful as the Kokiri Sword, and a great Z-Targeting swordfighting weapon. Found in the Temple of Time after beating the Jabu-Jabu's Belly dungeon. Biggoron's Sword (AL)- IMO, the games best weapon. Twice as powerful as the Master Sword, and most enemies go down after just one shot. The one and only downside to this weapon is that it takes two hands to use, therefore your shield can't be used while the sword is out of its sheath. Obtained from Medigoron atop Detah Mountain. Boots: Kokiri Boots (BL)- You start the game off with these things. Standard boots, nothing special. Good speed, good traction, but nothing else. Iron Boots (AL)- These boots are great for sinking. Step into the water with these on, and you can examine the bottom. Of course, on land they slow you down quite a bit. Hover Boots (AL)- These are pretty damn cool. You can hover above water or thin air for short periods of time. If you want to move faster on land, use the forward roll continuously with these on. Found in the Shadow Temple, obviously. Tunics- Kokiri Tunic: Standard tunic that you start the game off with. Well, you odn't think he started naked, now do you? It's good for...nothing. Really, except maybe to avoid freezing to death or being laughed at. Goron Tunic: You get this Tunic by stopping the tiny, rolling Goron in Goron City as an adult, using a bomb. Talk to him for a while, and eventually he gives it up. Also available at the Goron City shop for 200 rupees. It's a good, heat-resistant tunic, and necessary unless you are extremly fast (like me). Zora Tunic: You get this, the last tunic, by unfreezing King Zora as an adult. Also can be bought at the Zora's Domain shop for 200 rupees. This is only good if you're real slow, since you never need to be underwater for over a minute. Shields- Deku Shield (YL)- This is purchased for 40 rupees at the Kokiri Forest shop. Standard defense for Yound Link. If you touch fire while this is equipped, it burns, and you have to purchase/find a new one. These can be found anywhere. Hylian Shield (BL)- Purchased at Hyrule Market for either 80 rupees, or you can talk to the Death Mountain Trail Guard and get it at a reduced price. OR, you can go into Kakariko Graveyard, and search inside the graves for it. As Young Link, you hold it over your head. Good for falling boulders. As an adult, you use it properly, and can Z-Fight with it. Mirror Shield (AL)- This is the games strongest shield, which is it's upside as well as its downside. You cannot deflect Deku Nuts back anymore, they will shatter when hitting your shield. Tough. Found in the Spirit Temple as an adult. Looks great with the Goron Tunic. Arrows (All AL): Normal Arrow: Duh, it fires a standard, untouched arrow. Can be turned into a fire arrow if shot through a torch. The first arrows, along with the Bow to shoot them with, are found in the Forest Temple. Necessary to kill those pesky ghosts in there. Fire Arrow: This sets your arrows on fire before they hit your enemy. Costs 2MP. Does double damage as far as I can tell. Also, it melts white ice. Found in Lake Hylia. Warp there (or don't), and read the plaque near the Triforce symbol. Come daybreak, shoot the sun. You should thne see what to do. Ice Arrow: This makes your arrows very icy. This also costs 2MP, but ti's worth it. Some enemies will shatter into many pieces if you hit them after freezing them. This is the big treasure of the Gerudo training center. Worth it? Maybe. Light Arrow: Ouchies! 4MP to use just one of these ultra-powerful arrows. Necessary to beat Ganon's Tower (used on him and those weird thingies in the barriers). Given to you after beating the 5th Temple, whether it be the Shadow or Spirit. Silver n' Gold Silver Scale (BL): Necessary to beat the game. This is gotten by winningthe Diving Game {See Mini-Games} at Zora's Domain. It allows you to diver for 5 seconds. Golden Scale (BL): You can get this by catching a large fish as an adult. It allows you to dive for a seven count. Man, Link sucks at diving. Anyways, try it in the Lakeside Lab as an adult, hehe. Silver Gauntlets (AL): By now, you've runinto one of those stupid blocks that says something about silver hands, right? Well, at the end of the children's version of the Spirit Temple, after beating Ironknuckle, you get these. Only can be used as an adult, however. Golden Gauntlets (AL): Unlike the Golden Scale, you DO need this to beat the game. Found in the Shadow Barrier of Ganon's Tower. Allows you to lift and HURL objects so heavy it's ridiculous! C Items: Hookshot/Longshot (AL): Retrieved by racing Dampe in the Kakariko Village graveyard as an adult. The upgrade to Longshot is found in the Water Temple after killing Dark Link. This sticks to wooden things and targets, and pulls you to them. Great, since it works on treasure chests. Megaton Hammer (AL): Found in the Fire Temple, this mythical Hammer has the power to crush some rocks. Use it on the Gossip Stones for laughs. Necessary to activate rusty switches and to kill Volvagia. Bombs (BL): Obviously, you use them, and they blow up, wiping out any enemies and bombable walls nearby. If you swing your sword at a wall, a bombable section sounds different than the others. It also looks different in most cases. Deku Nuts (YL): Used as a weapon, and only that. Ineffective on most creatures, but wreak havoc in Jabu-Jabu's belly. U don't really need them, but whatever. Deku Sticks (YL): Great device for lighting torches. Can also be used as a formidable weapon, but snaps too easily. Burns out if on fire too long, so be careful. Bottle (BL): USed for two purposes. One is to catch and carry things, such as bugs, fish, potions, etc. Another is versus Ganondorf or his Phantom, use it to deflect the energy bursts back at him. Bombchus (BL): A cool, necessary weapon. Great for squaring off against Ironknuckle in case you're low on life (heh, that's pretty funny) or just plain suck. Magic Beans (YL): As a kid, go find a soft soild spot, and plant a bean in there. As an adult, come back and lookie there, a platform that you can ride. Crucial in getting a few Golden Skulltulas. Bought from the fat boy in Zora's River. Starts at 10 rupees, then 20, then 30, etc. Bottled Bugs (YL): Buy these, or catch them. They're usually under rocks. Plant them in a soft soil spot, and a Golden SKulltula will soon pop out. Remember, 3 bugs come out, and you can recatch one, and he'll turn into 3. Repeat as needed. Lens Of Truth (BL): Found in the tricky Kakariko Village Well. Used to "See the truth" Really, you just use it to see invisible things and fake things. Fairy Ocarina (YL): This Ocarina is used to play the first couple of songs for the beginning, but it disappears once you retrieve the..... Ocarina Of Time (BL): Comes with 1 free tune, the Song Of Time, which is used to open up the secret door in the Temple of Time. Mask (Of Truth, Gerudo, Goron, etc.) (YL): Use it to talk to people and get strange responses. Once you've gotten the Mask of Truth, use it to talk to the Gossip Stones (1-eyed statues). Weird Egg (BL): As a kid, when hatched it is used to wake Talon at Hyrule Castle. When you're an adult, it is the first step in your side quest for the Biggoron's Sword. Magic/Potions Red Potion: It refills all of your life, no matter how badly injured you are. Only one dose though :( Green Potion: It refills your entire migic meter, regardless of how much needs to be refilled. Necessary to beat the game, unless you can kill Ganondorf with very few Light Arrows. Ultimate Blue Potion: Available at the back potion shop in Kakariko VIllage after you give the old hag there a mushroom. Refills and hearts and magic meter. Too bad it costs 100 rupees, isn't it? Lon Lon Milk: Ah, this is a double doseage! Available from cows by playing Epona's Song, and it and a free bottle can be won by playing the Super Cucco finding Game at the Lon Lon Ranch. Din's Fire (Cost: 6MP): Gotten from the Great Fairy at Hyrule Castle, this melts ice and kills enemies. It also activates switches. Necessary in the Shadow Temple when the wooden boards attempt to crush you. Farore's Wind (Cost: 6MP): Only usable in dungeons, this magic is obtained from the Great Fairy in Zora's Fountain. It sets up a warp point, allowing you to go from Hyrule to a specific spot in a dungeon quickly. You don't realize just how great it is until when you need it. Nayru's Love (Cost: 12MP): This is a great defense for when you're almost dead and you've got nothin' left to fall back on. Can be a life saver. Found in the Desert Colossus from the Great Fairy. It creates a shield around you which enemies can't penetrate. Keep in mind that you will ACT hurt, and will fall off a wall if touched. Non C-Menu Items: Stone of Agony: If you have your Rumble Pak equipped, when you stpe near secrets, such as a bombable area, it will shake. Helpful if you're into secret hidden areas. Gerudo Card: After you rescue all four carpenters from the Gerudo Fortress, this card is given to you by a Gerudo. Now you may wander around the Fortress undisturbed, and talk to the Gerudos. -------------------------------------------------------------- Special Thanks -------------------------------------------------------------- Obviously, I have to thank the Nintendo Corporation and of course Miyamoto. Oh yeah, a shout out to Marshmallow and Pika and RCarlos, whom I couldn't have gotten 100 Gold Skulltulas, 20 Hearts, the Hylian Loach, and everything else without. Thank you everybody. Now I want some freaking e-mail for this!
