'''Dimitri''' is one of three animal companions that Link can get in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'' (the other two are [[Ricky]] and [[Moosh]]). Dimitri is a friendly, red [[Dodongo]]. He can swim up waterfalls and through currents without being pulled along. Unlike [[Moosh]] and [[Ricky]], Dimitri can bite and eat enemies. Link can also pick Dimitri up and throw him with the [[Power Bracelet]] when he is not riding him.

Link can use [[Dimitri's Flute]] to call him.

In {{OoT}}, the graveyard lies behind Kakariko Village. During young [[Link]]'s time, the gravekeeper [[Dampé]] oversees the graveyard at night to promote his [[Digging Game#Heart Pounding Graveyard Tour|Heart-Pounding Gravedigging Tour]] mini-game, while in the daytime, a little kid roams around the graves instead.<ref>{{Cite|Heart-Pounding Gravedigging Tour! / From 18:00 to 21:00 Hyrule Time / --Dampé the Gravekeeper|A sign|OoT}}</ref> While Dampé is not out patrolling, he is sleeping inside his hut, which is located in the east corner of the graveyard. Within it Link can find [[Dampé's Diary]], which talks about a [[Hookshot|treasure]] that he found while digging around.<ref>{{Cite|When I dug a hole, I found a treasure that stretches--BOING! and shrinks--BOING! It's so fun, I'll never give it to anybody!|Dampé|OoT}}</ref>

[[Poe]]s of many fallen [[Hyrulean]]s, [[Royal Family of Hyrule|Royal Family]] members, and the [[Sheikah]] tribe who founded Kakariko rest in the graveyard, and it is said that the latter watch over the spirits in their eternal slumber.<ref>{{Cite|R.I.P. Here lie the souls of those who swore fealty to the Royal Family of Hyrule / The Sheikah, guardians of the Royal Family and founders of Kakariko, watch over these spirits in their eternal slumber.|A sign|OoT}}</ref> The gravestones that have flowers in front of them can be pulled back to reveal a secret room or underground chamber. These often contain a chest with a few [[Rupee]]s, and one contains a chest with a [[Hylian Shield]].
Depending on which animal helper Link befriends, the landscaping of some areas in either [[Holodrum]] or [[Labrynna]] will change. If Link had Dimitri join him, then some areas within these regions may resemble a large lake or river with many waterfalls, which will require the use of Dimitri's help.
 
   
  +
At the back of the graveyard rests the two famous [[Composer Brothers]]: [[Composer Brothers#Flat|Flat]] and [[Composer Brothers#Sharp|Sharp]], whose tombstones are separated by the [[Royal Family's Tomb]]. This tomb, which can only be opened by playing "[[Zelda's Lullaby]]" on the [[Ocarina]], houses the Composer Brothers' "[[Sun's Song]]" as well as a poem to go along with said melody.<ref>{{Cite|The rising sun will eventually set, A newborn's life will fade. From sun to moon, moon to sun... Give peaceful rest to the living dead. This is an interesting poem... huh?|N/A|OoT}}</ref>
==''Oracle of Seasons''==
 
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'', Link will eventually have to venture into [[Spool Swamp]] for the next [[Essence of Nature]] after completing the [[Snake's Remains]] dungeon. During this time, Link can find and acquire a [[Strange Flute]]. One of the Strange Flutes can be acquired by winning a mini-game round in the [[Subrosian Dance Hall]] after Link completed the second dungeon, Snake's Remains, yet only before Link helps Ricky the kangaroo. While heading into Spool Swamp, Link would encounter one of the pontential animal helpers, Ricky. [[Blaino]], who lives nearby, had taken away Ricky's [[Ricky's Gloves|boxing gloves]], and the game requires that Link goes to Blaino, fight him in a boxing round for a total of 10 rupees, and defeat him to win back the gloves. When the gloves are returned, Ricky will offer to help Link by transporting him to [[Spool Swamp]], where Link may later meet one of the other animal companions depending on certain requirements.
 
   
  +
After Link becomes an adult, he returns to the graveyard only to discover that Dampé has passed away. Link reads the gravekeeper's diary inside his hut, which beckons anyone who reads the text to come to his [[Dampé's Grave|grave]] to receive the treasure he found seven years ago.<ref>{{Cite|Whoever reads this, please enter my grave. I will let you have my stretching, shrinking keepsake. I'm waiting for you.|Dampe's Diary|OoT}}</ref> The young hero can uncover Dampé's Grave on the west side of the graveyard to race the deceased gravekeeper and receive the [[Hookshot]] from him.
If Link won the Strange Flute from the Subrosian Dance Hall, he will eventually encounter Dimitri being attacked by the [[Great Moblin]]'s henchmen. When Link paid the green henchmen 50 rupees and another 30 rupees, thus requiring at least 80 rupees to complete this event, the henchmen left them alone. Dimitri will then thank Link and join him, turning the Strange Flute into Dimitri's Flute.
 
   
  +
Even farther back, in a ledge high above the graveyard, is a small, concealed room with several torches and a sealed door decorated with the [[Eye Symbol|Sheikah symbol]]. Link can only access this chamber once he has learned the "[[Nocturne of Shadow]]" from [[Sheik]]. By using [[Din's Fire]] in the middle of the room, the torches will light up, opening the sealed door and granting access to the [[Shadow Temple]].
Dimitri has a second event in [[Sunken City]], but can only be seen if Link has [[Ricky's Flute]] or [[Moosh's Flute]] instead. In the bottom left-most corner of the city, Link would eventually encounter a group of children harassing Dimitri. By giving one of the children all of the [[bomb]]s that Link has, the children will leave. As thanks, Dimitri will temporarily allow Link to ride him, which is necessary to maneuver the flooded city until Link gets the [[Flippers]]. The city has a couple of waterfalls which only Dimitri can climb up. One of the waterfalls leads to [[Master Diver|a man]] who will test Link in getting the [[Master's Plaque]], with the reward being the Zora's Flippers. Shortly after Dimitri will leave.
 
   
  +
===''Twilight Princess''===
If Link does have Dimitri's Flute however, all Link needs to do is call Dimitri into the city rather than saving him from the city's children.

In {{TP}}, the graveyard is also located behind Kakariko Village, accessed by entering the gate behind [[Renado]]'s [[Sanctuary (Twilight Princess)|Sanctuary]]. At first sight, the graveyard seems smaller than its ''Ocarina of Time'' counterpart; however, in the northern portion of the graveyard is a small opening leading into a wide open area with a small pond. At the end of the pond is a small patch of land where the [[King Zora]] is buried. According to [[Queen Rutela]], the Kakariko Graveyard is also where various members of the [[Zora]] race take their eternal rest.<ref>{{Cite|You were right to bring him here.

  +
The entrance to King Zora's tomb is sealed off by a stone bearing the [[Symbols#Race Emblems|Zora Emblem]] when Link first visits the graveyard. Once Link takes the mortally-injured [[Prince Ralis]] to Kakariko Village, Queen Rutela appears to him as a ghost just outside of Renado's house.

The Kakariko Graveyard in Ocarina of Time

In Ocarina of Time, the graveyard lies behind Kakariko Village. During young Link's time, the gravekeeper Dampé oversees the graveyard at night to promote his Heart-Pounding Gravedigging Tour mini-game, while in the daytime, a little kid roams around the graves instead.[1] While Dampé is not out patrolling, he is sleeping inside his hut, which is located in the east corner of the graveyard. Within it Link can find Dampé's Diary, which talks about a treasure that he found while digging around.[2]

Poes of many fallen Hyruleans, Royal Family members, and the Sheikah tribe who founded Kakariko rest in the graveyard, and it is said that the latter watch over the spirits in their eternal slumber.[3] The gravestones that have flowers in front of them can be pulled back to reveal a secret room or underground chamber. These often contain a chest with a few Rupees, and one contains a chest with a Hylian Shield.

At the back of the graveyard rests the two famous Composer Brothers: Flat and Sharp, whose tombstones are separated by the Royal Family's Tomb. This tomb, which can only be opened by playing "Zelda's Lullaby" on the Ocarina, houses the Composer Brothers' "Sun's Song" as well as a poem to go along with said melody.[4]

After Link becomes an adult, he returns to the graveyard only to discover that Dampé has passed away. Link reads the gravekeeper's diary inside his hut, which beckons anyone who reads the text to come to his grave to receive the treasure he found seven years ago.[5] The young hero can uncover Dampé's Grave on the west side of the graveyard to race the deceased gravekeeper and receive the Hookshot from him.

Even farther back, in a ledge high above the graveyard, is a small, concealed room with several torches and a sealed door decorated with the Sheikah symbol. Link can only access this chamber once he has learned the "Nocturne of Shadow" from Sheik. By using Din's Fire in the middle of the room, the torches will light up, opening the sealed door and granting access to the Shadow Temple.

King Zora's Tombstone

King Zora's tomb in Twilight Princess

In Twilight Princess, the graveyard is also located behind Kakariko Village, accessed by entering the gate behind Renado's Sanctuary. At first sight, the graveyard seems smaller than its Ocarina of Time counterpart; however, in the northern portion of the graveyard is a small opening leading into a wide open area with a small pond. At the end of the pond is a small patch of land where the King Zora is buried. According to Queen Rutela, the Kakariko Graveyard is also where various members of the Zora race take their eternal rest.[6]

The entrance to King Zora's tomb is sealed off by a stone bearing the Zora Emblem when Link first visits the graveyard. Once Link takes the mortally-injured Prince Ralis to Kakariko Village, Queen Rutela appears to him as a ghost just outside of Renado's house. She beckons him to follow her to her husband's grave, where she thanks him for saving her son in his time of need.[7] As she had already promised Link, Queen Rutela bestows the Zora Armor upon the young hero, which he needs in order to enter the Lakebed Temple.[8][9] Queen Rutela then joins the King Zora in his eternal slumber.[10]

Later on in the game, after Link receives Ashei's Sketch, he returns to King Zora's tombstone and shows the sketch to Prince Ralis, who had been praying for his mother.[11] Prince Ralis recognizes the Reekfish on the drawing and gives Link the Coral Earring, the item necessary to catch a Reekfish in Zora's Domain needed to proceed to Snowpeak.[12]

The graveyard is home to two Poe Souls as well as a female Golden ant.[13]

Trivia

  • In Ocarina of Time, there is a mountain range which can be observed behind the Graveyard in the direction of Zora's Domain. The mountains seem to be that of a snowy range, which may be the origin of Twilight Princess's Peak Province, which lies in the same general location.
  • In Twilight Princess HD, some of the Gravestones with Modern Hylian inscriptions have the Hylian mirrored.
