You start in Link’s home town. He thinks he’s a Kokiri, but, unlike the others, he’s a lonely boy with no fairy. Until the Great Deku Tree awards him with Navi, one of the highest fairies. The tree summons you, but first, explore Kokiri Forest!
Talk to all:- There are people in almost every part of Hyrule. They all have something to say. What they say might seem useless now, but it’ll be useful later on.
Remember all:- You may even find people you’ve talked to before in different places! Talk to them again- they will probably have something else to tell you. Almost everyone will have more things to tell you later on.
Sword and shield:- To get the Kokiri Sword you must go through the hole at the end of the Kokiri Training Course (this is near to the Know-It-All brothers’ house). Go left, and go straight forward until you come to the chest. Watch out for the rock that is rolling around this area. To get the Deku Shield you must find 40 rupees around the forest.
The great Deku Tree, guardian of the Kokiri, has been cursed. Gannondorf has poisoned it. It has called on Link to stop him from taking over Hyrule.
Inside the tree:- Equip yourself with the sword and shield. Central passage on map, kill Triffids and get Deku Sticks. Enter the tree. Go up the red ladder. Then go to the chest with Dungeon Map along ledges. Go through door at same height. Beat Deku Scrub by reflected the nuts he fires at you back at him. Go to next room. Jump across rocks for the slingshot. Slingshot red ladder above door you entered through. Exit. Slingshot the skulltullas and climb up. Go through door on the same level. Stand on stepping stone, and jump across pillars to chest with compass. A gold skulltulla is here, too. Light a deku stick with fire from the torch, and light the unlit torch. Exit.
The basement:- Three skulltullas here. Use slingshot on their tummies. Stand on edge of ledge, and jump down to cobwebbed hole in floor. It’ll break. Go down, light deku stick and carry it through shallow part of water to burn cobweb. Open door. Kill Deku scrub and slingshot eye above door. Enter. Dive, and touch switch to lower water. Stand on stone and ride across. Push block to door. Enter, then light torches. Kill all three spiders in next room. Burn webs, through the gap, and push the block into the water. Light stick, run across and press up and R to burn web on floor. Go down. Defeat Deku scrubs in this order- middle, right, left. Go through.
Large Arachnid Gohma:- Watch cut scene. Watch out for when spider swings down for you. Sword Gohma’s eye. She’ll climb wall and drop three eggs. Sword them before they hatch. Repeat until she’s dead. Grab heart container and walk into light. You’ll get Kokiri’s Emerald, the first spiritual stone. Sadly, the poor Deku tree dies from Gannondorf’s poison curse.
The palace where Zelda lives, and Gannondorf is secretly trying to take over. At the moment, you are unknown as an enemy to Gannondorf, but Zelda recognises you from a dream.
Saria:- Leave Kokiri Forest for Hyrule Field. You meet Saria. She gives you the Fairy Ocarina. Go to Hyrule Castle. The drawbridge’s only open in daytime.
Hyrule Market:- First door on right is a room full of rupee pots. Return to here when you are short of rupees. This becomes the ghost shop when you grow up. Second on right is the Bazaar. Buy a Hyrule Shield. You’ll need this for later. Third door is the potion shop, which isn’t too useful at this early stage (I recommend using Lon Lon Milk when still a kid), and fouth is the Temple of Time, which will be very important later on, though you can’t use it at this early stage. Straight on is the Happy Mask shop. First on left is the Treasure Chest game (only open at night). Next is Bombchu Bowling (also only open at night) and the back alleys (there is a Bombchu shop around the back alleys somewhere).
Malon and Guards:- On path leading to Hyrule Castle gate you’ll meet Malon. She’s the daughter of Talon, who is the Ranch Keeper. Talk to her twice, and you’ll get a weird egg. Climb up vines beside her. Avoid guards, and get to moat. Jump in, and swim along to small slope on corner. Climb up it.
Talon:- Run along and you’ll meet Talon. Wait until daylight and give him the chicken which hatched from the weird egg. He’ll run off. Push crates into water, and jump across to gap. Crawl through.
Guards:- Avoid guards in courtyard by running past bottom or left of screen when they’re not looking. Don’t let them see you. Then, go through the archway at the end and you’ll meet Zelda. View Cut scene. When over, walk away from Zelda and talk to Impa, who’ll teach you Zelda’s Lullaby, which is the royal theme, and your first tune. Listen to what she says.
Here’s how to get all the masks! You do this as a kid.
Keaton Mask: Get egg from Malon near Castle, go to Princess, get letter, show letter to guard at entrance to Death Mountain, wear mask, he’ll buy it.

A set of stables right in the middle of Hyrule Field. Talon has returned to the ranch after falling asleep delivering milk to Hyrule Castle, and so has his daughter, Malon.
Ranch Buildings:- Building in far corner of ranch contains crates that can be moved for a heart piece. Meet Talon again in the Chicken Shed, and play the chicken game to get Lon Lon Milk.
Malon and Epona:- Malon is now back in the ranch, find her by the stables. Speak to her until she teaches you Epona’s Song. You’ll now see Epona, the wild, fast, but loyal, horse. You will be able to ride her in the future.
The home of Saria, the Lost Woods is a dark and mystical forest that, unless you know your way, can have you walking around for ages. There is lots of things here, like a pond and a man sitting on a tree trunk that don’t do anything now, but will later.
Dangerous Pathways:- Go to the Sacred Forest Meadow- to get here go right, forward, right, forward, forward, left, forward, forward. Listen out for an Ocarina tune. It means you’re going the right way.
Top of route:- When you see a wolfos, use sheild and sword to kill it, and open the gate. Then, in the next section, kill Deku Scrubs to get to top of map screen. The ladder at the top of this map leads to a Fairy Fountain, where you can boost your health and catch a fairy if you need to.

Next room, push statue on stepping stone to raise bars in front of door. Go through and run past bats to next room.
