Ocarina Of time Walkthrough.

{After the Deku Tree SIDE QUESTS.}

CONGRATULATIONS! YOU BEAT THE DEKU TREE! {@a1-shroom-spores/ocarina-of-time-walkthrough-the-great-deku-tree } The game is really going to start getting exciting and the map is going to get much larger!

First you have to watch some more exposition that basically explains the Zelda lore. Don't worry if you get bored ... you get to play for a REALLY long time after this without another cut scene.










You got the Kokiri's Emerald! It's not an item you can equip or anything ... so don't worry about it for now. It basically just shows you beat the level. There are 2 more spiritual Stones you must find {as a child.} We are going to find the next Dungeon/stone right now. Head away from the dead :( Deku Tree.


You will warp right to the entrance of Kokiri forest. mido will block your way and you will have to talk to him. He is VERY angry with you; and accuses you of killing the Great Deku Tree! {Rude} He will then let you go: Keep walking forward though the map until you come to a portal in the side of the wall.




Once you enter the portal you will watch a very short cutscene with a Kokiri girl named Sarah who sees you off very emotionally and gives you an ocarina.



You are going to use this item a lot. Equip it with a "c button." You are now in a new area called Hyrule Field! This area is GIANT field it leads to a bunch of other area in the game. Head forward though the path.


Now you have to talk to this owl for.... some unknown reason. He tells you to go to the Hyrule Castle and see the Princess. Head straight once you hit the open field.


Just keep heading up the dirt path. You will notice the sun start to set at this point. When the sun sets you will have to battle some monsters {FINALLY!} so get ready to whip your sword out. At the top of the hill you can see Hyrule Castle.

These skeletons are pretty easy to kill .. but you can also just run past them. They will just keep rejenerating anyways until its daytime so go ahead and keep walking to the castle. They can't walk very fast so don't worry about that.

You need to wait for daylight until the drawbridge comes down. If you stand on the middle of this concrete platform you can't get hit and you can just wait a minute.


When you enter the Hyrule Castle you will be in a long walkway which leads to the MARKET. We are almost to the castle but there's a side quest to complete first. Enter the door to the right immediately when you enter the castle.

Head to the wooden boxes in th back by the guard. Roll into them to break them apart. What's that?! A gold Skulltula?


Collect the gold Skulltula and break some pots if you need hearts. now head down the pathway into the castle. you will end up at the MARKET.


Okay we are going to do a quick SIDE QUEST before we see the princess. We are going to win the Bigger Deku Seed Bag from the shooting gallery. Look for the building with the big arrow logo.


This shooting gallery contest is pretty difficult when you first play... It's really good practice though. Its NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE with the "WASD" keys so ... if you are on a PC you are going to want to get a joystick or n64 controller. You should anyways it makes the game easier.

Now head down the path to the right of the Shooting Gallery.

Now you are at Hyrule Castle! This is the outer area/front entrance of the Castle. It is a large lawn that is covered in soldiers that stand patrol 24/7. Go ahead and walk down the path and then you will talk to that pesky owl. {AGAIN?! ... REALLY?!}


Do a roll attack on the tree that the owl was on. You will unlock a secret Gold Skulltula! This is our first Gold Skulltula that is on the ground. BE CAREFUL. If you walk right into it you will take damage. Slash it like normal from a distance.

Next you actually need to head back to the MARKET and then back to HYRULE CASTLE. Yes I know its strange ... but this makes time pass .... for some reason. When you come back this girl names Sarah is standing there.


She asks you to find her lost dad and gives you a WEIRD EGG. Now you should climb the vines you are next to. Head forward over the fence.

There are guards all over the grounds here. The all stand still at attention. You must take a very specific path. You might need to try several times.

First start by heading right towards those first 2 guards on the path. You need to be within eye sight of them. Then head up the hill.

WOW! TALK ABOUT CUTTING IT CLOSE! You are going to head right behind this guards back. Head right between the 3 trees and you won't get caught.

After you pass the 3 trees you need to veer left a little to avoid the next pair of guards. Then there is a wall you can climb up!



There are actually more guards ... so head forward {along the wall} then jump down. You will see a small moat of water that you are going to want to jump into. If you DONT and walk on the sidewalk you will get caught and start over.


There is a mound of earth you can walk up on. HEAD LEFT. If you head right you will be caught by the guards and will have to start over.

It's Sarah's Dad! He is fast asleep. {Strange place to sleep!} Walk right up to him and then take out the WEIRD EGG which should be hatched by now.



Sarah's dad runs away scared because he overslept. It's a good thing he moved because he's actually blocking a small puzzle area to ... basically sneak into the castle through the moat system.

Remember in The Great Deku Tree Dungeon when we moved that block to climb up it? We are going to move blocks again. Walk up to the closest wooden box and hold A. Then hold backwards while holding A.

Now you need to grab the box again from THE SIDE BY THE FENCE and push it TOWARDS THE WATER.

Once you push the box towards the water it will fall down and lock into place. It's pretty obvious what to do next. Push the other box onto the one that dropped down.



NOW YOU CAN CLIMB ONTO THE BOX AND JUMP INTO THE MOAT HOLE! You are inside Hyrule Castle now. Be careful there are more guards here.


The Castle Courtyard guards are REALLY easy to get past because they walk around slowly. Once you pass the guards you will FINALLY meet Princess Zelda.



Walk up to princess Zelda and talk to her. She will tell you ANOTHER STORY {Exposition overload anyone? Don't worry theres a dungeon soon.} You will learn all about Gannondorf and some more about the Triforce.






After the cut scene Princess Zelda will give you a letter. You don't need to use that for a while. When you leave the area with princess Zelda: You will meet Zelda's Guard who is in on the plan to defeat Gannondorf.

Now it's time to learn your first song: ZELDA'S LULLABY. After you learn the song you will take a "shortcut" out of the castle {you just warp onto Hyrule Field}.

When you warp back onto the field you are pointed into the direction you need to head towards: So just go ahead and walk towards that big volcano in the background with the ring of smoke.

SIDE QUESTS.

There's some side quests you can do at this point. YOU HAVE TO LEARN THE EMPONA SONG AS A KID TO BEAT THE GAME: So you really might as well do these side quests now.

First we are going to head to Lon-lon Ranch. This area is located right in the middle of Hyrule field. YOU CAN SEE IT FROM THE CASTLE DRAWBRIDGE.


When you enter Lon-lon Ranch: Enter the first door on the left.

You can play a mini game here to get a very excellent item: a bottle! You will understand soon how important this item is. THIS MINI GAME IS DIFFICULT. Luckily you can cheat. Throw as many chickens as you can between the stairs and the table.

Pay 10 Rupees and Malon's dad will throw 3 "super chickens" into the air for you to find. Luckly they are easy to find with the other chickens hidden away! You will earn your first Bottle! Put the bottle away so when you get hurt later you can drink the milk for energy.

After collecting the milk bottle hed outside and head into the main corral area of Lon lon Ranch. Head left when you reach the open field and roll attack the tree there. Hey! Another gold Skulltula!

Talk to Malon in the horse corral. She will introduce you to her pony: Who runs away. Talk to Sarah again until she teaches you EMPONA'S SONG. You need this song to beat the game.


Now you are going to want to walk to the far end of the corral: Where there is a giant stone tower. Open the door and walk into the small milking room.

Here is another box moving puzzle. It's easier to solve if you climb up onto the boxes. All you need to do is move that box in the right corner and you can pull the two other ones on that last row. If you look closely you can see the hole the whole time.

Now there is a tiny hole next to you. Climb through and you can see a heart piece!

Alright now we are going to head to another area to do a few quick side quests. Go ahead and leave the Lon lon ranch and head left. Veer left along the dirt path.

You should see some raised up flat dirt plateaus with low fencing. You will talk to the ... #$%^ing owl again. Talk to him and then head right {head away from the grass towards the dirt.}


Okay... at this point you are going to do a few weird nonsensical things. FIRST DRINK YOUR MILK. Equip the milk with a "c button" and then press the button. Now your bottle is empty. LEAVE IT EQUIPPED. You will see three rocks. Pick them up and see if theres bugs underneath. If you see bugs run up to them {quickly} and press the bottle button.

Alright now walk forward and you will see a chicken near the end of a cliff. Get next to the chicken and press a to pick it up.


Head all the way to the right of the cliff and jump off towards the river.


Grab the piece of heart and then pick the chicken back up. Jump out of the waterfall on THE RIGHT SIDE. You will land on the ledge.


On the ledge is a cow, a woman and a hole in the ground. Stand right on the hole and press the button with the bug in the bottle. A Gold Skulltula will pop out!


Alright now we are going to actually jump over the edge. We are taking a shortcut to a new area. jump into the water. The current will carry you. Go ahead and swim if you want to move faster.

You will see a freaky looking humanoid fish. DONT WORRY! Its a good person not a monster. Head left out of the water.

Right away you will see another hole in the ground. Find more bugs to bottle up and get the Gold skulltula here!

Near the hole is a small garden with 2 scarecrows. Pull your ocarina out next to the lower scarecrow. Now you can make up a new song that you will use later.

Now you are going to head into the fishing hut. You need to catch a very large fish and you can get another piece of heart!




Exit the fishing hut when you get the heart piece {or rage quit.} Now swim to the far left corner of the lake. There is a small platform with a Gold Skulltula.

Okay we can FINALLY HEAD TOWARDS THE NEXT DUNGEON so go ahead and turn around and swim back towards the scarecrows. Keep heading forward and go between the two valley walls.


There's a large gate coming up so climb the latter on the left and then jump off. Keep heading forward and look for that volcano from earlier.

You will end up at a large staircase that leads to KAKARIKO VILLAGE.

Now we are going to head to the graveyard to find a SHIELD UPGRADE! You are trying to become a proper warrior... So you need to ditch that ghetto wooden Shield. Keep heading forward and you will reach the Graveyard.


Make sure you head up the staris towards the giant well and then take a left. The graveyard is through the giant arch by the wooden sign with the arrow.

Head forward through the graveyard. There is a giant grave marker in the back {with the Zelda family logo}. Talk to one of the tumbs NEXT to this giant tombstone. You will then have to fight a ghost.


Beating a ghost is really easy. You just attack them once while Z targeting and then back away from them when they go invisible.


Talk to the other tombstone and you will fight the other ghost/brother/composer. Then he will tell you to go onto the zelda family crest and play Zelda's Lullaby.


When you play Zelda's Lullaby the giant tombstone explodes! {THAT HAS TO BE BAD LUCK!!.} Go into the tombstone. You will be inside a locked room. You need to kill all the bats to unlock the door.



Once you kill all the bats the door will unlock. Enter the room and you will see toxic green slime and two zombies! Zombies are a powerful enemy. DONT GET CLOSE TO THEM. In fact. just run straight through the green slime it does very little damage.



Now that you learned the SUN SONG go ahead and leave the tombstone. It should be nightime now. If it is daytime still play the sun song and it will become night.

Go forward and you will see a tombstone with three flowers in front of them. Grab the tombstone and drag it back {IS THIS LEGAL?!} A hole will open up. Drop into the hole. Inside you will find the HYLEAN SHIELD! This is a HUGE UPGRADE!

Now look for the Gravekeeper who will ask for 10 rupees to dig in a random hole for you. One of the holes will have a heart piece! Now head out of the Graveyard.

Now use the sun song to turn the night into day right when you leave the Graveyard. See the lady with the Chickens? Talk to her and then find all the Chickens and throw them into the fenced off area.

Now that you have another Heart Piece: Head to the entrance of the village. You will see a large staircase next to the tree by the entrance {where you found the Gold Skulltula}. Head up both staircases.


Equip that letter you got from princess Zelda. Walk up to the guard by the big fence and show him the letter. He will recognize the seal from the royal family but he will accuse you of being in on some joke with the young princess {RUDE.}


The guard tells you to equip a "Proper shield." Go ahead a equip the new shield you got inside the Graveyard. Then start heading up the mountain path. There's only one direction to go the whole way up.

At the top of the hill is a red flag you are going to want to head towards.



Now that you are inside GORON CITY go ahead and walk to the edge and jump off. Just keep jumping down until you reach the bottom. You can also walk down the staircases but it takes longer.


At the bottom of the city is a big door with a mat by a goron. Play ZELDAS LULLABY on the carpet. The door will open.

Inside is the head goron and some lit torches. Remember in the Great Deku Tree you had to light all those torches? We are going to do that one more time. IF YOU ARE OUT OF STICKS GO EXPLORE GORON CITY AND BREAK SOME POTS OPEN.

Go ahead and light the first couple torches and then slash your sword. This way your stick actually doesnt go away. {If the stick burns out on its own it goes away.}

When you light the next two torches: You will see a 5 second cut scene of the giant pot in the center starting to spin. Don't forget to slash your sword again to save your stick. Light the stick again and head up the stairs to the next set of torches.

The final set of torches are permanent. {THANK GOODNESS} Now: light your stick again with the final set of torches and head into the "room" right in front of you.

Take your lit torch and touch it onto one of the bomb plants. It will drop down then explode! {make sure you aren't too close or you will take damage.}The bombs will blow up the boulders. THIS IS A POWERFUL SHORTCUT. It leads right to the beginning of the game! {THE FOREST}

The lost woods is a maze area in the forest that leads to several different important areas. From here you need to head: LEFT LEFT FORWARD LEFT RIGHT.

Now you will enter SACRED FOREST MEADOW. You will have to fight a wolf. This enemy can be annoying. I recommend slashing it with your sword the second it attacks. Otherwise it will dodge everything.

Ahead is what looks like a maze: But there is only one direction to go. Be careful because the Deku Shrubs here can do a lot of damage ... however; you can slash these ones with your sword!

When you reach the two large pillars: Head up the staircase ... this is the only area you could get lost. There are two more Deku shrubs ahead. If you are almost dead you might want to equip the Deku shield and kill them without taking damage.


ITS YOUR OLD FRIEND SARAH! She will teach you a song called SARAHS SONG.

Go ahead and head back to the LOST WOODS. The owl is waiting for you {SIGH} He tells you some weirdly unnecessary information like how you might need to play more ocarina songs {REALLY?!} After you talk to him head back to GORON CITY. {LEFT RIGHT FORWARD RIGHT RIGHT}

Once you are back in GORON CITY head to the bottom where you lit the first torches. Take out your ocarina in front of the head Goron and play SARAHS SONG. He starts dancing like crazy! He is so happy he gives you a bracelet to pick up bombs! USING BOMBS UNLOCKS A LOT OF THINGS IN THE GAME!






Alright time to leave GORON CITY. Head outside but dont go too far.

Once you are outside: Head right instead of forward down the hill. There is an open area by a fenced off cliff with a bomb flower.



Pick up the bomb and throw it over the fence. The camera will pan down to the ground where there is a giant wall that needs to be blasted away. The bomb will explode opening the next dungeon.

End of side Quests.
