STORY
Once upon a time, there were three goddesses that created the earth. They were
Din, Nayru, and Farore. They all created the earth and the spirit of
the law so the creatures could live respectably to the law. As they
left the dimension to another, they left behind a mark... That mark is
the Triforce.
The Triforce contained three virtues: Power, Courage, and Wisdom. The
Triforce protected the land for years to come. However, the Triforce
could be possessed by an individual. If that individual has a good heart,
the land will see an era of prosperity. If the heart is evil, the world
would suffer a long drought of peace.
A myth said that when an individual finally capture the Triforce, it will
split into three pieces. The person who touched the Triforce will get the
virtue he believed in most. The other two pieces will go to its best
host. If an individual collects them all, he or she will reign supreme.
The five races that Farore created, the Gorons, the Zoras, the Gerudos,
the Kokiri, and the Hylians, all respected the Triforce with all of their
hearts. However, as a popular saying goes, whenever there is good, there
will always be evil. Therefore, Triforce will never be safe from the
evil.
One day, a Gerudo man with an evil heart trekked the vast deserts of
Hyrule. He had heard about how powerful the Triforce could be and he
really wanted it to rule the land. He knew nothing on how to get it...
until recently. He found out about a mythical Ocarina of Time. He walked
down the horizon of the storming sand. He looked up. He knew that item
must have some connection to the Triforce. Oh, how badly he wanted it!
Ganondorf went to the Hyrule Field and devised his evil plans to capture
the Triforce. First, he went to the Kokiri Forest and snuck in a spider
in the Great Deku Tree, the protector of the Forest. Then he went to the
volcano of the Gorons and awakened the Dodongo. Finally, he went to the
Zora's Domain and made Jabu-Jabu jabby.
Back at the Kokiri Forest... The Great Deku Tree suddenly realized that the
time was now. The boy without a fairy time must leave...

Alright... the reason I took my Walkthrough for Master Quest to N64 is
just that there are more people GOING to the N64 FAQs instead of the OoTMQ
FAQs for Gamecube. This is easily proved by going to 'Top 50' FAQ Pages.
Just after I wrote for OoTMQ, that game was easily the number 1 FAQ Page,
beating out the great GTA:VC. However, after a few weeks, it has dwindled
down to number 39 (last time I saw) while the OoT for N64 stays at about
25 or so. It is obvious that OoTMQ is going to get out of the Top 50 or
even the Top 100 maybe as time moves on. That means My guide would reach
out to less people. Besides, I hate the idea of having TWO guides in ONE
file, the people who want to use the OoT guide would prefer to use the one
made specifically for that game.
Adios, amigos!

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here begins your adventure as a elf clad in green. Anyway, you wake up as Link
after a long sequence involving a fairy and a tree. First of all, I
want you to get used to the controls here on the Gamecube version
because Gamecube's controls are a bit clunky compared to n64's (if you
ever played the n64 version, you'll understand).
First of all, I want you to get familiar with the jumping. The jumping
in this game is automated when you reach a edge. Try it on some wood
blocks across your house. If you made it to the other end, you get 5
rupees. Don't buy anything yet! Go to Mido, the little boy guarding the
path to the Great Deku tree. Speak to him, and he will tell you that he
won't let you pass him unless you have a sword and shield! Now time
for some hunting!
Go to the left of your house and go up a hill. You should see some
fences with some grass around. Go through the fences to the other side,
where a hole resides. Go up to the hole and press A to crawl through.
Go left and wait until you see a giant boulder rolling after you! Now
don't move and the boulder will go to the right of you. Follow that
boulder and take the first right path you see. Ah-ha! Your first
treasure chest! Go up to it and press A to see how lovable Link looks
like trying to get that item outta the big chest! ^_^ Guess what's the
item? Your first SWORD! The sword is KOKIRI SWORD. Go to the item menu
(start button) and go to the equipment menu. Move your cursor to the
sword. Press A to equip. Now, back to the overworld. Practice with your
sword with some grass and signs. Familiarize yourself with the
Z-targeting.
Your next objective: to get the shield! This time, there's no hunting!
:-( All you have to do is to find 40 rupees and buy the shield in a
store. You should have some already. If you don't have 40 yet, go to
the house down the hill and enter it. There are some chests with rupees
inside. Go back out and go right and you should see a little cliff. Get
up on it. Go right and take the blue rupee between the larger cliff and
the house. Take the rupees from the chests! Also, walk around in the
patches of tall grass, you might find some rupees. If you STILL don't
have 40 rupees, try picking up some rocks and throw them. There might
be some rupees there.
When you've had enough, go to the store (the house near Mido) and buy
your first shield! It's DEKU SHIELD! Equip it, I trust you know how to.
Go back out and talk to Mido. He will let you through to the Great Deku
tree, after all that bickering!
On the way to the Deku tree, you will encounter your first Deku Babas.
Use the Z-targeting to lock on them and use the B button to use the
sword. When you've defeated one of them, pick up the wood stick it left
behind! Now you have your first DEKU STICK! Equip it to one of your C
buttons. Proceed to the Deku Tree when you've defeated all of the Deku
Babas.
The Deku Tree will speak to you and you will be given an option, select
'Yes'. Then enter the opening the Deku tree created for you. Here begins
your epic adventure as Link!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I N S I D E   T H E   D E K U   T R E E
----------------------------------------------------------------------
INSIDE THE DEKU TREE
Alas, you first dungeon of the Ocarina of Time! The dungeon is made to be
easy so the new-comers can learn the basics without any trouble. If you're
new, don't worry, the dungeon is a cakewalk.
First, use the Z-targeting (so you can be familiar and comfortable with
it) on the Deku Babas and kill them all. You will receive some DEKU NUTS.
Then go up the ladder to the left. Walk up the path until you see a gap.
In this game, you don't have to press any button to jump. The jumps
are made AUTOMATICALLY. Just run to the edge and Link will jump.
Go ahead and open the chest for your first DUNGEON MAP. It is a... map!
Just a map of the dungeon! What did you expect? Ha. Now, continue on
to the door. Open it to find a Deku shooting some nuts at you. Z-target
him and hold R (shield). The nuts will reflect off the shield and hit
the Deku. He will run around the room, so chase him. He will beg for
mercy and tell you a secret. Now, open the next door.
Drop down to ground floor and climb up the vines. Open the chest for...
the FAIRY SLINGSHOT! Yay! Equip it! Whoo! Stop celebrating, dammit! Go
up another set of vines for a chest with a RECOVERY HEART. Go back
down to the platform with the Fairy Slingshot. Jump to the floating
platform and to the door. If you failed, just use the slingshot to make
the ladder above the door come down.
Go back to where you found the Dungeon Map. Now, use your new treasure
(Slingshot, to you slow people) to shoot the skulltulas on the vines.
There are three so don't miss one. Then climb up the spider-free vines
to 3F. Ignore the skulltulas and enter the door.
In the new room, stand on the switch to raise the platforms. Jump onto
them to the other side of the room (with a chest). When you're successful,
open the chest for a COMPASS. The compass shows all of the chests that
haven't been opened yet in the dungeon. Go down to the ground level. Stand
near the west alcove and wait for the Skulltula to come down. Kill it.
Go back to the original platform. Now, you have to use your Deku Stick
to light up the unlit torch. What you have to do is: bring out your
Stick and put it on the lit torch (causing the Stick to get on fire)
and bring the Stick over to the unlit torch, causing the torch to get on
fire. Now quickly press the switch and jump to the west alcove (don't
forget to kill the Skulltula beforehand) and open the chest for... a
RECOVERY HEART. Behind that chest is a Gold Skulltula. Kill it and
take the token. (You will find out what it is for later)
Go back to the previous room and drop to 1F. Make sure you aim at the
CENTER of the web below and DO NOT move up to roll! Just stay still and
make sure you hit the center. If you do it right, the web will break,
leading you further down to B1F.
When you're on B1F, get on the lowest platform and kill the Deku Baba.
Then go to the middle platform and step on the switch. It will trigger
the torch, causing to light up. Open the chest for a RECOVERY HEART.
Now, light up one of your Deku Stick. Jump to the water, but make sure
you land on the shallow part of water so the fire won't go out. Jump
to the lowest platform again and burn down the web. Enter the door.
You meet another Deku again.  You know what to do: Z-target him and
hold up your shield. Chase him down and he'll tell you some numbers:
2, 3, 1. Remember those numbers. Use your Slingshot to hit the eye
above the door. It will open the door.
Go into the water and look for a switch underwater. When you find it,
press A to dive down to it. Pressing the switch will make the log move
up. Get back onto the platform and jump on the moving platform.
When you get on the other side, kill the skulltula and pull/push the
block to the other end. Climb the block to the door.
Kill the Baba in the middle of the room. Use your Deku Stick again to
light up both of the unlit torches in the room to open the next door.
Of course, go into that door.
Kill the Skulltula and the spiders (might be tough, just use your
shield to block their attacks). Again, use your Stick to burn down the
webs. You should be able to see a tunnel where you can crawl through.
Go ahead and crawl through it.
Kill all three Babas if you like. The first thing you should do in
this room is to push the block all of the way to the water. Then you
should have access to the middle-level platform with a torch lit. Use
that torch to light up your Deku Stick. When you've done that, run
and jump over to the block (don't fall into the water) and jump again
to the highest platform. Get on the web and ROLL! To roll, run and press
A. Your stick will hit the web. Guess what happened? Yeah, the web got
burnt to a crisp. Drop down to B2F.
Collect the hearts in the water if you need them. Then get on the
solid ground. There are 3 Deku Scrubs shooting seeds at you! You have to
defeat them, of course, but... remember that tip the Deku gave you
earlier? The 2, 3, 1 thing? Let's try that! Z-target the MIDDLE Deku and
reflect a Seed back at him. Then do the same thing to the RIGHT one.
Finally, do it to the LEFT one. Then the last Deku will run around. Chase
him down and he will give you a tip for the Boss. Also, the door to the
Boss will open! Refill your health before going in.

*~B O S S~*
Q U E E N   G O H M A
This boss is pretty easy, even for the first dungeon. If you listened
to the Deku's advice, you already know how to beat her. First, go to
the First-Person View and look for her eye. Then the battle begins.
All you have to do is avoid her until she climbs to the ceiling. Then
Z-target her if you haven't yet and get your Slingshot ready with a
Seed. Wait until her eye is red and shoot! She will come crashing down,
exposed for attacks. Immediately go to her eye and MASH, I repeat, MASH
your B button!!!!!! If you mashed your B button fast enough, you won't
have to hit her eye again with a slingshot! It's that simple! If you
didn't kill her on the first try.... Try again! She's not that hard.
Superkyle1991@cs.com sent this tip:
"To quickly kill Queen Gohma, throw a Deku Nut when she's on the ground.
Her eye will be red. Also use Z-Targeting forward and B to kill her quick."
This makes the boss even MORE EASIER! What a boss! :P
_______________________________________________________________________
Take the heart container when you've defeated your first boss. Then use
the blue warp to go back to...

K O K I R I   F O R E S T

Congrats! You have gotten your first Spiritual Stone, the KOKIRI
EMERALD! The next objective: go to the Goron Mountain and get the
second spiritual stone.
Leave the Kokiri Forest by going to the other end of the little town,
out a tunnel. Then your long-time friend, Saria will call you and say
good-bye and give her treasure, the FAIRY'S OCARINA. Then you will be
at...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
H Y R U L E   F I E L D
----------------------------------------------------------------------
(Ocarina of Time)
This field is probably the most memorable and the most well-known
location in the entire kingdom of video games. Cherish the moments in
this field, for they are always magnificent to remember.
Proceed and you will be encountered by an owl, Kaepora Gaebora, and he
will tell you some tips for your journey. Also, he will tell you where
to go next. Your next destination: Hyrule Castle. Go to the north. You
will see a majestic castle. Enter it via the draw bridge. If the
bridge's up, that means it's nighttime. Wait until its daytime
shouldn't take long) then enter the castle.
Also, if you want to explore the field, you can go to Lon Lon Ranch and
check it out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
H Y R U L E   C A S T L E
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Before entering the ACTUAL Castle, I suggest you look around the
Market. Check out the stores, the slingshot mini game (if you get all
10 rupees, you get a bigger Seed package!), and talk to people! Have
fun in the market! After you've done that, go north to the Castle.
After entering the Castle's area, you will be confronted by Kaepora
again. He explains to you that time flows normally only in the fields
and the time stops in the towns and the Lon Lon Ranch.
Then go to the tree where Kaepora was on. Roll to the tree and crash. A
gold skulltula will come out. Kill it and take the token. Then go up
the gate and talk to the guard. He will say you can't enter. What to
do? Go back and look for some vines to climb up. Climb up and go to the
top of the gate. Jump off the gate and maneuver Link through the blind
spots of the guards. By the way, if you get caught, go back to the
vines to find Malon, the Lon Lon's owner's daughter. She will ask you
to find his father in the castle. For your trouble, she will give you a
WEIRD EGG. Now, try again and avoid the guards. it's basically all
trial and error.
Here's some tips on avoiding the guards. Use the slope to avoid the
first guard then sneak past the two guards up ahead. Then go left,
across the field. Don't take the road to the Castle! Go left and look
for a rough surface on the wall. Climb up and jump off to the moat.
Swim down the moat and climb up using the slope on the corner. Then go
left and you're done!
You will see a guy in blue sleeping near the river. It's Talon, Malon's
father! Yay! Now wake him up! You can't? Oh... I know! Wait until your
egg hatches into a chicken, and when it does, equip it to one of your C
button and use it when you're near Talon. Talon will wake up and say
"What the tarnation?" ^_^ He will get mad and storm off.
Now, you have to do a little puzzle. You see the blocks? Push the
nearest block to the end and push the block off the platform onto the
water. Then do the same thing with the other block. The puzzle should
finish up looking like a block onto another one. Then get on the top
block and jump to the waterfall. Crawl through the hole.
You come upon the Castle Courtyard. You have to maneuver among the
bushes to avoid the guards. This one is more difficult because if you
miss, you'll start over in the beginning (where you found Talon, the
father). My tip: be PATIENT! Take your time, don't rush anything. The
first part has only one guard so you should have no problem getting
past him. Then there's two guards... Just be patient and time your
movements. After that part, you will see a guard with some vines and a
walkway above him. Use the stairs to get on the walkway and walk over
him. Easy said, easy done.
The next parts has several guards, but you know what to do. In the part
with a big bushes that makes the area look like a hedge maze, wait
until BOTH guards goes down the left side of the area. Then follow the
guards and stop when they stop. When both of them goes right, go out
of the area and enter the sacred fountain to encounter the holder of
the title: Zelda.
Before you talk to Zelda, I suggest you to use your Slingshot to shoot
Seeds at the windows (one at each side). The left one has a picture of
Mario and Daisy! Shooting it will give you a red rupee! Then do the
same thing to the other window and a old lady will get mad and throw a
bomb at you! Hilarious! Now go talk to Zelda.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
K A K A R I K O   V I L L A G E
----------------------------------------------------------------------
She will speak to you about... nah, I don't want to spoil it to you.
After the lengthy cut scene, take the ZELDA'S LETTER and go talk to
Impa. She will teach your first Song, the ZELDA'S LULLABY. Impa will
tell you to go to Kakariko, the town between Hyrule Field and the Death
Mountain. Go to Kakariko. Then go up the stairs to the left and talk to
the guard. Show him the Zelda's Letter. He will let you pass through,
but he asks you a favor: buy a mask for his son. You don't have to, but
I suggest you do. Also, he gives you a tip: go to the Bazaar in the
Market (Hyrule Castle) and buy a better shield. If you go there and
tell the shop that the guard told you about this, you get a discount!
It's up to you if you want to do this. Also, wait until nighttime to
find a Golden Skulltula on the back of a house in the southwestern part
of the town. Roll into the tree in the middle part to find a Golden
Skulltula.
***NOTE*** This is the time to do the Side Quests... The Side-Quests I
recommend you doing are: Collect the Seven Chickens (Kakariko), Learn
the Saria's Song (Kokiri Forest-Lost Woods), Find the Super-Cocco (Lon
Lon Ranch), Learn the Epona's Song (Lon Lon Ranch), and Grave-Digger
Tour (Kakariko). Refer to the Side-Quests section if you want to know
how to beat them. ***END-NOTE***
Back on the track, go up the path to the Death Mountain Trail. Ah, the
classic Zelda enemy, the Tektite! You can kill them or just run from
them. Doesn't matter. Follow the path until you enter the huge Goron
City.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
G O R O N   C I T Y
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Talk to the Gorons around the City. They will tell you that the
Spiritual Stone was taken away by the boss, Darunia. One of them also
said that Darunia is waiting for the messenger of the Royal Family...
that's you! The room Darunia is in is at the bottom of the city.
All you have to do is stand on the mat and sing the Zelda's Lullaby.
Then the door will open. Enter.
You meet Darunia... he's mad at you because you're just a little kid and
he expected somebody more bigger. He wants you to sing him a tune
that's from out of the mountain, something green, whatever that means.
So you have to go back to the Kokiri Temple and look for Saria. She
will teach you the Saria's Song. *sighs* Time to go back.
Go back to the Death Mountain Trail, then to Kakariko, then to the
Hyrule Field, and finally to the Kokiri Forest.
Or you could go from the Goron City to the Lost Woods via a shortcut!
Here's how: (from Alan Tareholt, thanks a LOT!)
"After you access Darunia's room, use the flames to light the lower level
torches right away. Get out another Deku stick. Then, since the torches
will keep burning, bring the flame up to the second level torches. Put
the Deku stick away again. Finally, touch the flame to one of the bomb
flowers on the wall by the rocks. If done correctly, the bomb should
fall out, start counting down, and start a chain reaction, blowing up
all the rocks. Follow the walkway and you are in the Lost Woods!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
L O S T   W O O D S
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Go left when you arrive the Kokiri Forest. Climb the vines, follow the
path up to a tunnel. Enter the tunnel. Now you are in the Lost Forest,
where Saria resides. The forest is a maze. If you enter the wrong
tunnel, you go back to the beginning of the forest. You could do this
by trial & error but I didn't. You could see if the tunnel is the right
one by standing VERY CLOSELY to the tunnel, just before the dark part
of the tunnel. If you can see the other side of the tunnel, it's the
right one. If you can't it's the wrong one. Here's the directions:
Right, Left, (meet Kaepora), Right, Left, Forward, Left, Right
You will arrive at a Sacred Forest Meadow. Fight the wolflos (use the
Z-targeting and the shield. Wait until he attacks you and strike him
with your sword. Make sure you have your Deku Sword up to stop the
attack.) and enter the maze. There are Dekus around them, and I
trust you know how to beat them. Go up the stairs at the end of the
maze to find Saria. She will teach you the SARIA'S SONG. Leave the
Meadow and talk to Kaepora. Then leave the Lost Woods. I suggest you go
back to the Lost Woods and go left.
Get on the wood stump and play the Saria's Song. You will be awarded a
Piece of Heart. Simple as that. Go back and take the right path. You
should see a tree and a underlying floor. Jump down to the bottom
floor. Get on the wood stump. You will be playing a mini-game. Just
follow the buttons the guys gives you. If you get it for the first
time, you get a green rupee. If you get it again for the second time,
you get a blue rupee. Better yet, get it for the third time to get a...
Piece of a Heart!!!!!!!!!!
Then get back up to the higher platform. Aim your Slingshot at the
middle of the piece of a wood hanging from a tree. If you hit 3
'bull-eye's in a row, you get a bigger bag for your seeds! (You know if
you got a bull-eye if you see a '100' rising from the tree.
After all that, go back to the Goron City.
***NOTE:*** I suggest you go to the Lon Lon Ranch and play the Cucco
mini-game and win a bottle of milk and learn Epona's Song from Malon.
***END NOTE***

----------------------------------------------------------------------
When you finally arrive to the Goron City, immediately sing the Saria's
Song. Then Darunia will go CRAZY!!! Hahaha.. After some chit-chat, he
will give you the GORON'S BRACELET. It allows you to pick up the bombs
from the bomb flowers. Now, do not leave the Goron City. I suggest you
get a Stick aflame from a torch inside the Darunia's room. The quickly
get out of the room and light all 4 torches in the bottom level of the
City. The large vase in the middle will spin. Go to the next floor.
Take a bomb from a set of stairs and try to throw it into the spinning
vase. If you're successful, pray. That's because when the vase stops
spinning, the face of the vase shown is your treasure. If the face is
flat or stoic, you get nothing. If the face's sad, you get 3 rupees. If
the face's happy, you get a Piece of Heart and a red rupee and a blue
Rupee. This may take you a few tries.
Now, go out to the Death Mountain Trail. Go right to see a Goron and a
bomb flower. Take the flower and throw it over the fence. If you did it
correctly, the rock blocking the Dodongo's Cavern breaks. Now you can
access the second dungeon!

DODONGO'S CAVERN
The fiery temple... the challenge here isn't 'fiery' that's for sure.
Probably one of the easiest dungeons in the whole game, if not THE
easiest. At first, you will depend on your Goron's Bracelet heavily,
but when you finally get the Big Treasure (Bomb Bag) you will depend
on that instead.
Use the bombs on either sides to bomb the wall. Now you are OFFICIALLY
in the cavern. Anyway... just go up to the middle platform with a Beamos
on it. ***A tip on the Beamos: use a Deku Nut to stun them. Then you
can walk around it freely.*** Go left and pick a bomb flower, use that
on the wall to the left of the bomb. When you bomb that wall, it
reveals an alcove with a chest inside. The chest's content: the DUNGEON
MAP.
Now go ALL of the WAY over to the other side of the room! *pant* When
you're finally on the right side, pick up the bomb flower and run past
the Beamos and bomb the wall. Enter that newly found hallway.
Kill the baby dinos with a single hit of your sword, but they will
lay there and explode after a while so get out of the range after
killing them. Go over to the higher platform. Pull one of the statues
to the blue switches, making the door STAY open. Enter (duh) the door.
Kill the bats if you wish, but you don't have to. Just move on to the
next door. In that room, you will encounter your first Lizaflos. They
are tough IF you don't know how to defend yourself. What to do: Use the
Z-targeting to lock on them and get your shield up (Deku) and wait until
a lizard attacks you. When the sword hits the shield, it's the time for
you to strike! Repeat until both Lizards are dead.
Then you will meet another new enemy: Baby Dodongo. My suggestion is to
avoid them since they're not worth the trouble of fighting and you don't
have to kill them this time. Just take out a Deku Stick and light it up
with a nearby lit torch. Light up all three unlit torches in time to
open the door. (If you need some Deku Sticks, bomb the wall that you
saw when you came in the room... it has a Deku selling some Sticks for
15 rupees)
Step on the switch and the door on the OTHER SIDE will open! *sighs, runs*
When you arrive the opened door, you will see some bombs surrounding a
large wall. Don't worry about now, just go in the other door.
You will see three weird-looking statues... For your info, the middle one
is ALIVE! Yes, ALIVE! Just go up to it and it'll wake up. Run to a bomb
flower and drop it. Lure the statue to the bomb. If the bomb's explosion
hits it, the statue will dieeeee away. Whoo! Open the chest for a
COMPASS. Now return to the previous room.
Pick up a bomb (don't pick one from the set) and place it on the stone
platform where there's no bomb. The bomb will trigger a chain reaction
and clear the platform from bombs. The stairs will come down... hmmm...
now what do we do? Oh! How about going UP the stairs! What a good idea!
When going to the door, don't forget the Gold Skulltula on the vines.
In the room with 4 statues, kill the flaming bats first (2). After that,
DO NOT touch any statues yet! Go around the statues and look for a ladder.
Pull/push the statue that's front of the ladder. The other statues are
alive so if you touched them, they'll give you some trouble. Press on the
switch and go out the door.
Go across the bridge and drop down to the ground floor when you reach a
new room. Be aware of the spikes here. They're not really a hassle,
but still be aware of them. Use the block underneath the ladder to get
on a platform with a bomb flower. Pick the bomb and wait until the
bomb's flashing rapidly and throw it at the wall! If you timed it
correctly, of course, the wall will break open.
Aww... a circle of fire is blocking your path... awww.... You want a
solution??? Ah ok... Here's how: See that eye? Shoot it, duh! The
fire will go even HIGHER! No, I'm kidding, the fire will go out. Just
proceed.
Ignore the Baby Dodongo in the hallway. As you enter the new room, the
door will lock behind you. Yes, you have to fight the Lizaflos again.
If you still have your shield, good for you. If your shield's gone...
too bad. You have to use your skills to dodge the attacks. Kill them
both and the door will unlock.
Ah, you see yet another circle of fire... However, this time, there's
two! What you have to do is: shoot the eye that you can see. Then jump
on the first platform and look LEFT. You should be able to see an alcove
with an eye inside. Of course, you know what to do. The path should be
clear now.
Jump over the chasm and open the chest... It's the Big Treasure, the
BOMB BAG! Now you don't need to use the Bomb Flowers! Now you can get
a bomb any time you want! Whoo!
Move on, move on. Step on the switch and a platform will be moved to 2F.
Now you can access 2F and 1F anytime! Anyway, go across the bridge and
bomb the wall for a chest with a DEKU SHIELD. That is, if you don't
have a Deku Shield! If you had a Deku Shield, you will get a BLUE RUPEE.
Thanks Bary Witteveen! However, mathieucantinhalpin told me that this chest
contained a RED RUPEE! I'm not sure what's up, two different rupees.
Who cares, you get a rupee anyway! ^_^
Go back to the middle of the bridge. There should be two holes in the
bridge. Guess what's directly below the holes? The skull's eyes! You
have to drop the bomb through the holes to the eyes. Do it for each eye.
The mouth should open. Drop to 1F and enter the mouth!
In the mouth, go right (kill the bats if you want) and you should see some
more bats. They will be a threat to you so kill them. Then walk all of
the way to the other side (ignore the blocks for now). Bomb the wall
and enter. In the room, DO NOT touch the statue! Just use your Slingshot
to kill the Gold Skulltula behind it. Then carefully pick up the
token. If you touched the statue... it's your problem. You can kill him
or go back to the previous room and try again.
Back in the previous room, (don't forget to kill the bats again) go back
to the ledge with some blocks around it. Pull the lower block to the
point when it's underneath the upper block. Then get on the lower block
and push the upper block until it falls down. Pull the fallen block all
of the way to the OTHER block. Use the block get over the upper block.
mathieucantinhalpin: "I just wanted to say that all you really have to
do is jump on the ledge, jump on the block then jump on the higher
ledge and follow it down to the door. (Its just an easier way to do it)"
-Why didn't I think of that? :P
Walk up the ramp and push the block down to the ground floor. Kill both
bats and push/pull the block to the hole in the middle. It will open
the door to the BOSS! Open the chest for BOMBS and bomb the black part
of the floor and drop down to...

Meh. I don't know why the dungeons were so challenging... yet the bosses
are nothing.
Anyway, just throw a bomb into his mouth when his mouth is open (duh).
When the bomb explodes inside him, he will collapse. Hit him once with
your sword. Then stick to the wall. Dodongo will roll and miss you
completely. When he went past you, follow him. He will crash into a
wall. He'll turn toward you can open his mouth again. Throw another
bomb into him. Slash. Stick to the wall. Repeat. I think 4 or 5 hits
will do it. Pathetic, indeed.

Don't forget the heart container and step into the light...

Dodongo comes out of nowhere and calls you his Sworn Brother. :P  He
also mentioned Ganondorf. That dorf! He also gives you the second
Spiritual Stone: GORON'S RUBY. Dodongo recommends you to go to the
fairy at the top of the mountain. Go up the path and you should see
three boulders to the left. Go up the path and run all of the way
across the molten lava pit, and up the vines. Then you should see a
false wall. Bomb that one away and you will be able to enter a hole.
Enter the hole and play the Zelda's Lullaby on the Triforce. A fairy
will come out and award you a Magic Power. Now you can do a Charged
Attack! Try it out, it's pretty useful in the future! Then Kaepora will
take you to the Kakariko Village...
When you finally arrive the Kakariko village, you will be on a rooftop.
Now don't move! Go right and DROP, not JUMP from the roof to the
another ceiling below (above the chicken pen) and enter the small
doorway. While you're inside, you can take a HEART PIECE!
Call Saria with the Saria's Song. She will tell you that the next
Spiritual Stone is at Zora's Domain. So go there. Get out of the
Kakariko Village and into the Hyrule Field. Go left and jump into the
river. Swim all of the way to the next patch of grass. Then walk
to the sign. Finally, you're in the Zora's River portion of the Zora's
Domain!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Z O R A ' S   R I V E R
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Cut open the grass if you don't have many bombs left. Then you will be
confronted by Kaepora yet again. He tells you to sing the melody of the
Royal Family. Don't sing it yet! Crash into the tree and kill the
Golden Skulltula.  Use the bombs to blow the boulders apart. Grab the
chicken, it is very important to get ahead in the river. Use the
chicken to get across the river. Then throw the chicken to the higher
platform and quickly jump to it and grab it again. Do this again when
you face a problem like that.
Work your way upriver. When you get to a point where there's 2 path
overlapping, get to the highest point and use the chicken to fly to a
small indent in the wall to get a HEART PIECE. Then fly back to the
overlapping paths. Throw out the chicken and get on the stone portion
of the path. Play the Zelda's Lullaby. The waterfall will open up.
Enter the hole in the wall.

Z O R A ' S   D O M A I N
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You are officially in the Zora's Domain. Take your time and look around.
Play the diving mini-game (go up the stairs to the king and go left).
If you beat it, you get a SILVER SCALE. Your underwater breath
increases from 3 seconds to 6! Use that extra breath to your advantage
and dive down to a hole underwater. If you made it, you arrive at Lake
Hylia.
The first thing you should do at Lake Hylia is to look for the bottle
that's on the bottom of the Lake Hylia. Use your new-found ability (6
second dive) to grab the bottle. Then go back to King Zora. Show him
the bottle. He will read the bottle. Princess Ruto is inside the Jabu
Jabu! The Zora summons you to go to Jabu-Jabu to get Princess Ruto out.
Before going to Jabu-Jabu, go down to the body of water and capture a
fish with your empty bottle. Then go back to the King and walk through
the opening behind him. Then put the fish to the front of Jabu-Jabu.
Then Jabu-Jabu himself will suck the fish and.... you!!!!!!

INSIDE THE JABU-JABU'S BELLY
This dungeon is probably your first 'challenging' dungeon in this game
if you're a new-comer. This is your first dungeon that requires some
back-tracking, unlike the other two which you just go along the path
and end up beating it. Good luck!
The enemies you see in the first room are called Octoroks. To kill them,
you can use your Slingshot OR reflect the seeds they shoot at you with
your Deku Shield. It's up to ya. After that, Z-target the thing sticking
down from the ceiling. It's a 'switch' for this dungeon. Shoot it with a
Seed. Naturally, the door will unlock. Enter the door, you silly boy.
Ignore the jellyfishes and go to the next door. Don't worry about this
part, you will come back later. In the next room, you will find the
girl you were looking for: Princess Ruto! Yay! Your quest's over!
Wait... it can't be this SHORT! Ruto tells you to go away and walks
into a hole. Follow her through the hole.
Talk to Ruto TWICE and you will be permitted to pick her up and carry
her around. Pick her up and enter the door near her. Avoid the bubbles and
get into the water. Go to the other ledge and throw Ruto over to the
platform. Go back to the switch and press it. The water will rise, so
swim to the ledge where Ruto is and get onto it. Pick her up again and
throw her by the door. Shoot the switch above and enter the door.
Dan %&$@#!% Octorok! If you don't see any platform front of you, don't
jump into the water and dodge the seeds the Octorok shoots at you. When
the platform FINALLY come down, jump onto that platform and ride it
to 1F. Open the door to the right and you will be at the place where you
met Ruto. This time, don't fall into any pits! Go over to the other side
of the room and open the door, of course.
Go right (avoid any monsters you see) and step on the yellow switch. Drop
Ruto on the switch and enter the door. The enemies here are some flying
stingrays. To get them out of the floor, attack them or use a Deku Nut.
When they're in the air, use two Seeds for each one to finish them off.
When you've killed all four, a chest comes out. Guess what's inside?
Yes, the great BOOMERANG! I love this weapon! Get out of here.
Oh man! Ruto's gone! No need to worry. Just return to the room where you
first met her. She's there but a bit mad! :P Pick her up again and
return to the previous room. This time, go left. Again, leave Ruto on the
switch and open the door.
You will meet you first 'tail' enemy. There are many of these in this
dungeon but they're all the same. To kill it: Z-target it and throw
the boomerang when it's out of its position and swinging (to lure it
out, get in close). Hit it about 4 times and it'll die. Simple
enough. A chest will come out: DUNGEON MAP.
Go back to the previous room and head left. The red slimy thing's gone!
Yeah the tail is connected to it... so what? let's go into the room!
There's a timer for this room. If you want a prize, you have to break
all bubbles here in 40 seconds. My suggestion is to Z-target one of them
and walk up to it. You'll take some damage but it's pretty worth it
because it's faster and the damage is MINIMAL. However, if you're a
sissy and want the safe way... ok... you can use the sword to break
them. The prize: a COMPASS. Return again.
Go over to the other side of the fork, to the door left of the room where
you got your Boomerang. In that room, you will fight another 'tail'.
You know what to do, so kill it. Return YET AGAIN! This time, to the
MIDDLE door. Guess what? Yes, you have to kill another tail. Well,
there's also some jellyfish around. Kill them first with your boomerang.
After you've killed the tail, leave (don't forget Ruto!) to the room
with the pits.
Drop down the right-most pit (when you enter from the fork room) and you
should end up on the highest platform of B1F. Don't forget the Gold
Skulltula and enter the door down the hall.
WHOOOOOO! The Third Spiritual Stone! Let's throw Ruto over to it! She
got it... Uhhh? She suddenly went up and here comes a Giant Octorok!
To beat the Giant Octorok, just use the boomerang to STUN him. It won't
hurt him at all, but to STUN him. If the Octorok's running after you,
use the Boomerang to stun him. After a while he will regain the control
to his body. He might spin, and if he does, throw the boomerang again.
If you're lucky, his rear end will face you! ^_^ Attack his ass if this
happens. If the face shows up, not his ass, then... try again! 4 hits
will do it.
An amazing tip that would GREATLY help you by Tapam N:
"When you get him in damageable position, pull out a Deku Stick and jump
attack him with it. He'll die in one hit."
Go on the platform and you will go up to 1F again. Go down the hall
and enter the door. Use the boomerang to stun the slimy red stuff
and use them as platforms to get to the next door. Get on the isolated
platform and it'll go down to B1F again. Take a crate and place it on
the switch. The door will stay open.
Kill all five jellyfish just to be safe and look at the left side of the
vines. There's a Gold Skulltula. Kill it and take the token if you
want. Go up the vines to the top. Z-target the switch and hit it with
your boomerang. The door to the boss will open!

This boss is very cool, because this boss makes you move like there's
no tomorrow. Remember to move, move, and always have the boss or its
friends Z-targeted.
First, Barinade will just stay in the middle while the electrical
jellyfishes revolve around it. Immediately Z-target the boss and throw
