Lon Lon Ranch
New Items/Weapons:
None
Use this map as a reference, if you need.
Once you exit the Castle Market, make your way over to Lon Lon Ranch. If you can't find it for some reason, consult the above map. Once you make it there, head to the middle area that has a fence around it.
Malon will be in the center of it. Talk to her. She will say a few words about Epona...then pull out your Fairy Ocarina. She will see it, then after a little bit of talking, she will teach you Epona's Song. We will need this later in the game. You can now exit Lon Lon Ranch, or you can stay here and play around with the Cuccos.
There is also a Bottle Sidequest that you can do. If you don't want to do that right now, then just leave Lon Lon Ranch, and head back out to Hyrule Field.
Zora's Domain
New Items/Weapons:
Use this map as a reference, if you need.
Once you're back in Hyrule Field, make your way to Zora's River. If you can't find it, use the above map. Once you reach Zora's River, you'll encounter Kaepora Gaebora once again. After he talks about random things, blow up the boulders with a bomb.
On the other side of the boulders, you will see a Cucco and a man selling beans. Grab the Cucco, and jump over the river, to the other side. The Cucco will fly you over. Don't let go of the Cucco, and just follow the path, using the Cucco to jump over big ledges. You will eventually make it to a section where the path goes in all sorts of directions. Just follow it up, and stand on the stone slab at the top.
When you're standing on it, play Zelda's Lullaby. A section of the waterfall will go away, allowing you to jump through. We are now in Zora's Domain.
Follow the path around, and make your way up to the King's chamber. Now take a left, and go through the tunnel. You'll now be at the top of the waterfall. There is also a Zora here. Talk to him. You have to complete his challenge(get all the rupees he throws down in a certain amount of time), and you will be awarded the Zora's Scale. Take his challenge. After he throws the rupees down, jump off the waterfall and quickly gather all of them. Once you do that, run back up to the top off the waterfall, and talk to the Zora again. He will give you the Zora's Scale! Now you can dive underwater for 6 seconds. Jump off the waterfall again, and land in the water. Now swim forward a little bit, and look in the water. You should see a tunnel deep in the water. Now that you have the Zora's Scale, you can dive down there and go through the tunnel. Do that. You will be warped to Lake Hylia. Swim forward a little bit, and look in the water for a bottle. Once you spot it, dive down and grab it. When you come back up to the surface, you will have the bottle--but it has a letter in it, so for now just equip it to a C button. Now go back through the tunnel warp, back to Zora's Domain. Make your way back to the King's chamber, stand on the altar, Z-Target the Zora King, and press the C button that the bottle with the letter is equiped to. The King will read the letter, and after a little while he tells Link that his daughter, Ruto, has been sucked up by Lord Jabu Jabu. He comands Link to save her. After a little video of him moving, the way to Zora's Fountain will be opened. But before we go through there, run back down to the main water arera, swim over to the shallow water with a circle of rocks, and catch a fish with the now empty bottle. Head back to the King's chamber, and go through the newly opened passage, into Zora's Fountain. Once you get to Zora's Fountain, make your way over to Jabu Jabu. Stand in front of him, and release the fish from the bottle. Seeing the fish, Jabu Jabu will suck the fish, and Link in.
Jabu Jabu's Belly
New Items/Weapons:
Use the above map for reference, if you need
Equip your Deku Sheild, it will be more useful in this dungeon than the Hylian Sheild. In this first room, reflect the Octorocks' projectiles back at them. Once they're defeated, pull out your Slingshot and shoot the tooth looking thing on the ceiling. The door will unlock, go through it. In this room, ignore the jellyfish and continue on to the next room. In here, Link will see Ruto. Go over to her. After a little bit of talking, Ruto will fall down a hole. Fall down after her[Point A]. In this room, talk to Ruto repeatedly until she sits down, and lets Link carry her. Pick her up, and continue on through the next room. Make your way through the hallway, until you reach the bigger section of the room. Jump into the shallow water with Ruto, then throw her to the higher part. Now step on the switch, and the water will rise. Swim over to the higher part, and get up it. Pick Ruto back up, move forward a little bit into the next hallway, set her down, pop all the bubbles, shoot the tooth looking thing by the door, pick Ruto back up, and head through the door. In this room, set Ruto down and kill the Octorock that is here. Then pick Ruto back up, and throw her onto the platform, and jump onto it yourself. Pick Ruto back up, and rise the platform back up[Point B]. You will now be back at the room with the jellyfish. Just ignore them and go back into the big room where you first met Ruto. Go to the other side of the room(note the green tentacle) and head through the door. In this room, take the right pathway, and step on the first switch that you see, and go through the door that it opens. In thsi room, set down Ruto, and run near the stingray looking things that swim under the shallow water. When they come up, Z-Target them and shoot them down with your Slingshot. Once all of them are defeated, a treasure chest will appear. Open it up, and you will get the Boomerang. Equip it to a C. Pick up Ruto, and exit the room. Now go back to the start of the room, where you turned right. Take the left route, and place Ruto on the first switch that you see. Enter the room. Here, Z-Target the tentacle, and throw your Boomerang at it repeatedly until it dies. Grab the Map, and exit the room. Ruto will be mad that you left her. Just pick her up. Now make a left turn, and enter this newly accessed room. In here, kill all the bubbles with your Boomerang or Sword, and grab the Compass. Pick up Ruto and exit the room. Now go all the way back to by the room where you got the Boomerang, only make a left turn and enter this newly accessable room. There is another tentacle in this room. Use the same method to defeat this one as you did the previous one. Once you beat it, grab Ruto and exit the room. Now head back to the entrance to this room, and head through the hallway straight ahead of you, and enter the door. Theres' another tentacle in here, but before you can attack it, you have to kill all the jellyfish that are surrounding it. Beat all the jellyfish with your Boomerang, the kill the tentacle with the same method as the last two. Pick up Ruto and exit the room. Leave this room and back into the large room where you first met Ruto. The green tentacle to your right is now gone! Go over there, and fall down the hole. On this floor, just make your way down the hallway, and go through the door. Theres the Spiritual Stone! Throw Ruto up to the platform where it lays, and she will get it. Just then the platform raises up to the ceiling, and Ruto screams. The platform lowers, and on it there is a Giant Octorock! It will jump off, and begin to run around the platform. There are two methods you can use to beat him: chase after him and hit his weak spot on his back with your Boomerang(which stuns him) and hit his weak spot with your Sword, OR you can let him hit you, then whenm he turns around and runs the other way, you will be able to stun him with your Boomerang faster, and slash at his weak spot with your Sword. Which ever way you choose, once you beat him you will be able to ride the platform up[Point C]. Once you get to the next floor, turn around and break the pots, and catch a fairy in your bottle. Run past the jellyfish and into the next room. In here, there are two wobbling pillars. Hit one with your Boomerang to stun it, jump onto it, and stun the other. Jump onto the other one and head into the next room. Jump onto the platform here, and it will lower you back to the second room of the dungeon. You are now able to access the other side, which has a door. Sadly its locked. Run to the other side and grab a milk box, then take it back over and set it on the switch. The door will now open. Go through it. In this room, kill all the jellyfish with your Boomerang. Now climb up the large pillar. At the top of it, you will see a tooth lokking switch, but theres a glass wall infront of it. Pull out your Boomerang, Z-Target the switch, and angle the throw so it goes around the glass wall and it hits the switch. A door will open. Hop off the pillar and go through it.
Boss Fight: Barinade
Once the battle begins, use your Boomerang to disconect him from the ceiling, while dodging his electrical attacks. Once hes' disconected, he will move around the room with jellyfish circling him. Kill off all the Jellyfish, and you will now be able to hit his body. Throw your Boomerang at his body, which stuns him, then run at him and slash him with your Sword. Repeat this long process until you defeat Barinade, and once you do, grab the Heart Container and enter the warping light.
It will now show a scene where Ruto gives Link the Spiritual Stone of Water. Once you get it, head all the way back to Hyrule Field.
The Master Sword
New Items/Weapons:
Once you're back in Hyrule Field, make your way over to Hyrule Caslte(don't worry about nightfall). Once you make it there, a cutscene will take place. I won't tell much for the sake of spoilers, but after the scene, jump into the river and retreive the Ocarina of Time. A cutscene will take place, with Zelda teaching Link the Song of Time. After the scene, Link will be right outside of the drawbridge instead of the river. Head into the Castle Market, and make your way into the Temple of Time. Once you enter it, make your way to the stone altar, and play the Song of Time infront of it. After a little scene, the Door of Time will open. Enter it. Navi will fly over to the Master Sword, and say a few things. Make your way up to it, and pull it from the pedestal.
