- - - MARKET/HYRULE FIELD/KAKARIKO VILLAGE - - -

Items to find: Epona the Horse, Song of Storms, Hookshot

Hyrule is a _very_ different place now...Ganondorf rules all, and
everybody is against Link for some reason. Demons are everywhere,
monsters roam the land, and the people are frightened. You can
already
see Ganon's Castle, but you need the Six Medallions to open it up (and

what luck! You already have one...).

Run out of the Market and go into Lon Lon Ranch, it's time to get
Epona.
First make sure you have Epona's Song, which is learned by talking to
Malon in Lon Lon Ranch as Young Link AFTER talking to Zelda.
Then become
an Adult and earn AT LEAST 70 Rupees...Talk to Mr. Ingo and pay
10
Rupees to practice with a horse. Instead of riding the horse that comes
to you, play Epona's Song and she'll come. Run her around the course
(lots 'o fun!) until time is up. Get off, and then talk to Mr. Ingo
again and do the same. Instead of running around, talk to Mr. Ingo
while
on Epona (Z-targeting) and he'll ask you to race him with a 50 Rupee
wager. Beat him twice and Epona is yours! To get out of Lon Lon
Ranch,
simply get enough speed and hop over the fence. Hurray! Now you
can call
Epona anytime when you're on Hyrule Field (using Epona's Song). She
sure
does make travel a helluva lot easier than you on foot!

After this you'll want to go to Kakariko Village, the grave yard in
particular. Look at the left batch of tombstones, the one with some
flowers in front of it, this is Dampe's Grave. Pull on it to pull it
away, revealing a tunnel. Follow it down to meet Dampe's Ghost. Race
him
[See "Mini-Game" section] to earn the Hookshot. Oh, sweet
Hookshot...

At the end of the cavern is a blue block, play the Song of Time and it
will move away. Follow the path to find a windmill, talk to the guy and
he will mention a kid with an Ocarina from seven years ago. Show him
your Ocarina and he'll teach you the Song of Storms. Now head
out...You
can do a TON of things now. You can get Big Goron's Sword and a
few
Heart Pieces. But, that's in the other sections. Go to Kokiri Forest
now!

- - - KOKIRI FOREST/LOST WOODS - - -

Items to find: Entrance to Forest Temple, Minuet of the Forest

Go into the Kokiri Forest, it seems it has been over-run by monsters!
Then head into the Lost Woods. At one point Mido will block your
path,
play Saria's Song to prove you know her. He'll let you pass. Find the
Forest Meadow where Saria used to be (if you don't remember the
path
just use that one trick...). Defeating the Moblins in the maze can be
quite a hairy experience...They won't give you any time to defend
yourself, they'll just charge at you and spear you. To get past them
easily, use your Hookshot. Then there's the hammer Moblin...just
avoid
his shots, get behind him, and use your Sword! Also, you might want
to
catch a few Faries from the nearby Fairy Fountain, because a lot of
new
players die a lot in the next area. Continue, you will find Sheik at the
end, and he'll teach you the Minuet of the Forest. Behind him is the
Entrance to the Forest Temple...Look above it, there's a branch there.
Use your Hookshot to get over there and enter it...

- - - FOREST TEMPLE - - -

Items to find: Map, Compass, Fairy Bow, Forest Medallion

Go forward and kill the two Wolfos, then go to the side and climb the
vines there (after taking out the Skulltula with your Hookshot. Aren't
those things ANNOYING?!). At the top is a bunch of branches and a
chest,
in it is a Small Key. Drop back down and go through the door, the hall,

and enter the main room of the dungeon. After the cinema showing the
Poe
Sisters, go forward and through the doors. Kill the Flaming Skull by
bouncing it off your shield and then hitting it as it bounces around,
helpless. At the end you'll find two Stalfos! Kill them with your best
swordfighting techniques. Just remember that you can't block their
lunge
with your shield, so do a backflip (back and A while in Battle Mode)
to
avoid it, then do a lunge of your own to really hurt them. After they
are dead, break the pots, one of them has a Fairy if you need it. Your
prize is another Small Key. Exit back to the Main Room.

In a tunnel nearby is a blue block, destroy it by playing The Song of
Time. Go through the door it was blocking. Climb the wall to your
right,
but you might want to kill the Skulltulas first, but one will still be
left because it's out of the Hookshot's range. So when climbing, go
slow
and quickly go up when it looks away, since it won't charge if it can't
see you! Go through the door in the small aclove...Kill the Blue
Flaming
Skull to receive the Map in a chest. Go through the next door. Look to

your left, see that white target? That's a Hookshot target, if you can
hit it with your Hookshot you'll be pulled towards it! Do so, then hit
the switch that is there. It will drain the nearby well. Drop down into
the water (if you hit land it might hurt you - badly) and go inside.
After a long path you'll get another Small Key! Now climb back out,
then
return to the Main Room through the door that brought you here.

Go through the locked door that is in front of you, across the chamber.

Go through the hallway with the Giant Skulltula, then into the next
room. Climb the ladders, then pull out the stone block so it fits the
little area. Push it, following the arrows painted on the floor. Go to
where the block originally was, then follow that path to find the block
again. Now push it into place! You'll hear that chime that means you
got
a secret. Use it as a stepping stone to the above area. Alright, pull
the red stone as far as it will go. You can't pull it all the way out,
however, due to the lack of space. Go back to where the blue stone
originally was, there's a ladder. Climb it, then turn right to find a
little fence. In the wall, to the right, before the fence, is a small
aclove where you can push the red block totally out! Now return to the

red block via the blue block and push it into place! Whew...

Follow the path to the end where you will find a locked door, un-lock
it
then go through. Run across the twisted corridor, at the end is an area
with another locked door. You have one Small key left...well, guess
what
to do next! Now you'll fight a lonely Stalfo. Note that although he can
walk over the hole in the center, you CAN'T! When he's dead the hole

will be covered and two more will warp in. Unlike the last one, if you
kill one it won't disappear, it will just fall to pieces. If you take
too long (trying) to beat the last one then it will re-assemble itself!
Even if you're new to the game this shouldn't be THAT hard (ok, I
admit
I had some trouble with this, but...). Dispatch them and you'll receive
the Fairy Bow!! Woohoo! Now you're really dangerous...exit the
room.

See that Poe in the painting? Shoot it from afar with your bow. After
doing this to three different paintings (if you get to close, however,
it will go away to another painting) it will come out. Z-target it and
hit it with a bow! Then it will disappear. Cock your bow and get ready.

If it starts spinning wildly simply sidestep. When it re-appears, hit
it. Do this until it dies. An even faster way is to do a lunge with your
Sword...It will give you the Compass. Return to the Stalfos room, then
go through the next door. You'll repeat the same process, except this
time the Poe is red! Also, it will give you a Small Key instead.

Now, go back to the Twisted Hallway. Actually, the room BEFORE
it. See
the eyeball above the doorway? Peg it with an arrow, the resulting
effect will un-twist the twisted hallway. Now go through it and drop to
the floor, open up the purdy chest and you'll get the Boss Key. Now
drop
down into the hole in the ground. Kill the Blue Skulls, then go through
the un-locked doorway. The best way to defeat the giant Deku Baba is
to
stun it with the Hookshot, then use your sword (do a lunge for one hit
to kill! It's A in Battle Mode, duh). Go in the door to the right...Now
you must kill a Floormaster! Z-target it and wham it with arrows, then
it will break into three smaller pieces; do the same, or you could use
your Sword Spin, that is quite effective. Now after chopping it to
pieces, you will get another Small Key. Go back to the balcony and
through the door. Return to the area before the twisted hallway. Re-
twist it (Hey, I can make up my own words if I want to) then go
through
it, down the Poe Area, through the used-to-be-Stalfo room, and
through
another room. Fall down, then climb the ladder to the right. Go through

the hallway with green flaming skulls and un-lock this door with your
Key!

This room has a pillar with a torch on it at it's center, and four
platforms revolving around it. There is an eyeball near here, but it is
covered in ice. Solution? Whip out your arrow, get on a platform, and
shoot the arrow through the torch. The arrow will fly through the flame,

light on fire, hit the eyeball, melt the ice, and then activate the
switch. Sweet...That will cause the second hallway to be twisted, you
know, the one you just came from. Fall down the hole in the ground
when
you return...

This area seems impossible at first...but it's not. The ceiling will
fall, but there are several holes in it, which will allow you to slip
by. Here's how to get through it: First, run to the switch. Stand on it
to open the exit, and a hole is right over you. When the ceiling is at
it's highest, quickly run to the chest. Besides being safe, you'll pick
up a bundle of Arrows. Oh, I forgot to mention, you can take out the
Giant Skulltulas with your Hookshot! The neat thing about using the
Hookshot is that you DO NOT have to wait for them to turn around
(which
is a good thing, since they don't turn around until you get close to
them). Now, exit.

Look at the picture of the Poe. Look at it good...memorize it. Now hit
it with an Arrow, blocks will fall. They have pictures on them...you
have to arrange them to look like the Poe Sister, Amy, the one in the
picture. There's the eyes, bottom, and torch. It's a perfect block. You
get 60 Seconds, if you fail then they flip over and you must try again.
When you do finally complete it they will vanish and you'll fight Amy.
Use the same techniques as before. When the door unlocks, go
through it.
Now we're back in the Main Room...climb to the bottom and go to the

center of the chamber.

Now you must fight the last Poe...Meg. She will split into four and
encircle you. The one that does a quick spin is the REAL one. Quickly
Z-
target it and fire an arrow! Repeat this process until it's destroyed.
An elevator will appear in the platform. I'm sure you know what to do
now...

Now, this may sound strange (and it is!), but push on the wall. Yes, the

entire wall will shift positions. Fiddle around with this a bit and you
will eventually be able to get to the Boss Door! The fastest is to
continually push it counter-clockwise. Make sure to bring plenty of
Arrows for the Boss, or it will be a lot tougher. Check the Boss
Section
for details on that...

Now Saria is rescued, and you have acquired the Forest Medallion!
