Graveyard (The Legend of Zelda)

The Graveyard is a location in The Legend of Zelda. This is the first appearance of a recurring place in the Legend of Zelda series. It is full of small, white gravestones with blue crosses on them. If pushed against they will emit a ghost, or sometimes a secret cave. The area is colored a concrete gray, and the surrounding rocks are colored white. It is inhabited only by the ghosts that dwell near the gravestones and an old man.

Location
The Graveyard is located on the far eastern side of Hyrule. It can be accessed from two different entrances. The first is by Link finding his way through the Lost Woods, leading to the southern entrance. The second can be accessed once Link has obtained the Ladder and can cross the river over to Death Mountain. Once at Death Mountain, if Link continues to navigate east, he will find the western entrance to the graveyard.

First Quest
In the first quest, Link can uncover an old man who will reward him with an upgraded sword, once Link has made it past a certain point in the game. It is also the location of the sixth dungeon if Link exits from the west and heads north. The Magic Rod can be acquired in this dungeon, along with another piece of the Triforce. Although this dungeon is technically outside the Graveyard, it consists of the same terrain and is assumed to be part of the Graveyard as well.

Second Quest
In the second quest, the Graveyard houses the sixth dungeon within one of its gravestones. It is here that Link can obtain the Ladder, as well as another piece to the Triforce. If Link continues to "dig" around the gravestones, he can also acquire a Heart Container or a Red Potion.
