User:Killerpixel/Walkthrough

This is my first Zelda Walkthrough. I create(d) it while playing the game, so some points might not be optimal... but it sure works. This walkthrough will include all Heartpieces and golden Skulltullas (though i have no idea, why to collect all of them, for the reward being nearly useless at that time -_-)

By the way: If you see a pot or a bush I did not mention: do whatever you want. If I don't want you to do something I will tell ya.

Oh, and OHKO means "One Hit Knock Out" - a one hit kill

Controls
This walkthrough is made from the N64 version of the game. Thus i will use the N64 buttons.

If you are using another system, substitute the named buttons accordingly.

The main controls are as follows:

Walkthrough (the actual thing)
In the game Navi (your faery) will act as an cursor. Therefore, she will fly to points of interest, like enemies, persons you sould or want talk to, objects you have to check etc. When there appears a triangle over that target, you can lock onto it by pressing or holding Z, depending on the selection in the options menu.
 * Switch
 * Lock onto a target by pressing Z. If other targets are available (more triangles on the screen), subsequent pressing on Z will cycle through the targets. To exit targeting, press Z while moving the analog stick down (or away from the targeted enemy?).


 * Hold
 * Lock onto a target by pressing and holding Z. If you let go of Z you will exit targeting.

I, personally, prefer "Switch", so i don't have to hold that damn button all the time. If you use Z targeting without a target, the camera will turn so you can look straight forward. When Z targeting without a target, you have to hold Z, regardless of your selection.

For this walkthrough iI will use the term "Z targeting" for both, targeting with and without a target.

Kokiri Forest
After the introduction of the Deku Tree, Navi and Link (or however you named him), Navi wakes Link and tells him to go to the Deku Tree. Leave your house through the door and Saria will run to you. Climb down the ladder (Alternative: turn Link back to his house, Z target, run backwards, and press A to backflip over the fence.) Talk to Saria if you want (she will congratulate you to your faery), and head left (on the minimap) for the tree. You will be blocked by a Kokiri named Mido, the elder oder mayor or whatever of the village, who won't let you through unless you have a sword and a shield. So head back toforest training center, which is to the left of your home on the minimap (your home is where the red arrow is). the crawlspace and exit on the other side. When you carefully turn to the left, you will see a rock rolling around. Follow it to the right, then go left, right and open the chest to get your Kokiri Sword. (yay!) Obviously, you should equip it. Before you head back through the crawlspace make sure you have collected all the rupees in the dead ends of the rolling stone "maze" (and cut the bushes for more, if you are lucky). Back on the training ground you can practice how to use your sword. Just the signs and  with the Kokiri boy near the crawlspace. Since you have to buy your shield for 40 rupees, you have to earn that money now. Rupees exist in different colors. Blue rupees are worth 5, red ones are worth 20, violet ones are worth 50 and golden rupees are worth 200 green rupees. (you only find green and blue ones in Kokiri Forest, though)

To earn money you can: When you have collected at least 35 rupees, go to the shop and a girl sitting on it's balcony will tell you something about Z targeting. Go in and grab the 5 rupees behind the shelves. Oh, and buy a Deku Shield, now that you're here *g*. (this is the only thing you HAVE to buy to complete the game) Equip it as instructed and go back to Mido and he will let you through. Follow the middle of the path, because there are 3 Withered Deku Baba's emerging from the ground. Grab the Deku Stick.
 * Climb onto the third fence at the training center and jump towards the crawlspace to get a blue rupee
 * go inside the house down the ramp from the training ground (Mido's House). There are 4 chests you can to find a total of 11 rupees and 1 Recovery Heart
 * collect the blue rupee behind Mido's house
 * throw the stones next to Mido's House. Sometimes they leave a rupee behind.
 * go through the high grass
 * jump over the platforms in the water to your left if you leave Mido's House in one go. To jump simply run (don't walk) over the edge of the platform. Link will jump automatically
 * jump over the platforms in the water outside the twins house (the one with 2 "towers")
 * cut the bushes before saria's house (between your's and the twins', with the hearts on the roof)
 * go up the ramp to the left of the entrance of Saria's house, follow the path to another Kokiri and a blue rupee (she tells you that you can look around in first person view by pressing C-Up)
 * enter and exit any house to reset some of the aforementioned rupees

Kill each Deku Baba twice to get 6 Deku Sticks, then follow the path to the Tree. Story follows: Link = Hero, Deku Tree cursed, blah, blah, blah. Answer Yes and enter his... mouth.
