Walkthrough:The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks/Black Dragon Laguz/Part 1

Once you start playing your save file, there will be a prologue. The prologue tells of The Spirits of Good and the Demon King, Malladus. After the prologue, it is revealed that Niko is the one telling this story to Link, in his house. Alfonzo will come into the house to remind Link that he is going to his graduation ceremony at Hyrule Castle, to become a Royal Engineer. After this, Niko will tell you how to use the stylus to walk. Once you go outside, head east of Niko's house and talk to the kid standing outside of the house with rocks in front of the door. She will tell you how to pick up things and throw them. After throwing all the rocks away, you are rewarded a red rupee.
