- As soon as you enter, head forward to- DOH! It's that stupid owl again!
Kaepora Gaebora assures you that you are going in the right direction, then
explains that in some areas, like towns and inside houses, time stands
still, while outside (in areas like this or Hyrule Field) time will move
regularly. So if you want to wait until day or night, you'll have to leave
town. Good to know I guess.

- After he flies away, roll into the tree that he was perched on to make a
Gold Skulltula pop out of its branches! Collect the token, then round the corner and you'll find a gate blocking
the way through the rest of the area. The guard refuses to let you in, so
we'll have to find another way. Back near the beginning of this area,
there's some vines against the wall. Climb up the middle of them to get on
top of the nearby cliff. This gets us past the first obstacle.
- Now, rather than trying to go all the way, go get caught by some of the
guards. Just walk up to them until they see you. You'll be tossed out at the
gate from earlier. Lame. Head back to the vines and- hey! There's a red
haired girl here by the name of Malon. Talk to her to learn that she's from
Lon Lon Ranch, that round thing in the center of Hyrule Field. Her father,
Talon, went to Hyrule Castle to deliver some crates of Lon Lon Milk, but she
assumes he fell asleep. As long as you're on your way there, you could wake
him up if you find him, right? The obvious conclusion is to give you... an
egg...

Hyrule Castle (Past) |
|
 As soon as you enter the area, roll into the tree at the corner. |
Quest Item:
Weird Egg |
Hyrule Castle (Past) |
|
Feels like there's something moving inside! Set it to (C) and see what happens! |
|
|
|
|
- With potential omelette in hand, climb up the vines again and follow the
cliff until you get to the end, then jump off on the other side of the gate
(rather than go towards the guard). Once down there, turn to face the
castle. You'll see that there's
two guards on the path to the right, so we can't go that way. Instead, climb up between the two guards on the right and the
single guard up top on the left. You should easily be able to make it
between them without being noticed.
- Stay to the left (don't go on the bright road) and you'll come to
another gate with two guards at either side. On the left, however, are some
suspicious looking stones sticking out of the cliff here. Walk up to them
and you'll find their climbable. Get up top then jump down on the other
side.
 |
 |
- In this final area, there's still those two guards at this gate to deal
with... Jump into the moat instead and swim along, collecting Rupees along
the way. Once you get to the far corner, climb out and continue the rest of
the way until you find Talon sleeping away.
|
- Most likely, it took you longer than a day to do this, in which case,
the Weird Egg would have hatched into a Chicken. If it hasn't hatched yet,
just wait around until it does. Put it on a C button and use it while
standing next to Talon to wake him up. Speak to him after he gets up to
verify what Malon told you earlier about the milk delivery and the fact that
he fell asleep. Upon learning that Malon asked you to find him, he runs away
screaming out of fear of his own daughter. Strange, strange man. |
Quest Item:
Chicken |
Hyrule Castle (Past) |
|
Look!
A chicken hatched from the egg you were incubating! It's the miracle of
life! |
|
- Once he's gone, grab the crates and push and pull them into the water.
The second one will snap right on top of the first, giving you the added
height you need to jump to the water flow coming from within the castle.
From here, you can crawl through this hole into the inner walls!
- This area is littered with guards. Surely they could find better ways of
keeping watch than making circles around the topiaries and flowers... I can
see it now, one turning to the other and profusely declaring: "No way in
HELL are people taking these royal blooms!"
- Obviously, the goal is to make it through without getting caught. You can
stand behind them, but not to either side. Wait until they are either on the
opposite side of a fountain, statue, topiary, or are simply walking away
from you to make your move.
|
|
 The first area is just a single guard around a large square. Easily done. |
|
 The second has two guards, each patrolling a separate fountain. One walks swiftly, so if it looks awkward to avoid being caught, just wait until the things look a little less "iffy" and go for it. |
|
 The third has a single wooden pillar with Rupees around it. The guard's line of sight is pathetic, but it's really not worth the risk to snag the yummies. It's also possible to walk over the wooden part entirely, but that's risky as well. |
|
 The next area has two guards patrolling a giant statue. Once again, one moves faster than the other, so wait for a good chance to make your move. |
|
 The last area is simply a long topiary area with two guards who both move quickly. They're easily avoided. |
|
- After you've passed the final obstacle, simply turn left and head on
into the quiet part of the gardens.
 |
 In the window on the right side, there's pictures of characters from the Mario series. |
 She says as she looks at you seductively... Go Link... |
|
- In this new area, there are no guards at all, so you can relax. Before
talking with Zelda on the other side of the area, check out the cameo
pictures in the window on the right side. =D
- Anyway, go speak with the princess to engage the perhaps the lengthiest
conversation in the history of the Zelda series. After a quick exchange of
names, she'll give away her family's deepest secrets. As we already knew,
after the goddesses left the land of Hyrule, a portion of the power remained
in the form of three magical triangles known as the Triforce. What she
reveals now is that whoever gains the Triforce will be granted any wish they
desire, which could change the fate of Hyrule for the next hundred years.

Zelda:
I had a dream...In that dream,
dark clouds were billowing
over the land of Hyrule.
But suddenly, a ray of light shot
out of the forest, parted the
clouds and lit up the ground...
The light turned into a figure
holding a green and shining stone,
followed by a fairy...
I know this is a prophecy that
someone would come from the
forest...
Yes, I thought you might
be the one... |
|
The three goddesses hid the
Triforce containing the power of
the gods somewhere in Hyrule.
The power
to grant the wish of the one who
holds the Triforce in his hands.
If someone with a righteous heart
makes a wish, it will lead Hyrule
to a golden age of prosperity.
If someone with an evil mind has
his wish granted, the world will
be consumed by evil... That is what
has been told...
So, the ancient Sages built
the Temple of Time to protect the
Triforce from the evil ones. |
|
That's right... The Temple of Time
is the entrance through which you
can enter the Sacred Realm from
our world.
But the entrance is sealed with
a stone wall called the
Door of Time.
And, in order to open the door,
it is said that you need to collect
three Spiritual Stones.
And another thing you need...is
the treasure that the Royal Family
keeps along with this legend...
The Ocarina of Time! |

Quest Item:
Zelda's Letter |
Hyrule Castle (Past) |
|
Wow!
This has Princess Zelda's autograph! |
|
The other element from my
dream...the dark clouds...
I believe they symbolize...
that man in there!
What happened? Did he see you?
Don't worry.
He doesn't have any idea what
we're planning...yet!
........ Yes.
I told my father about my dream...
However, he didn't believe it was
a prophecy...
But...I can sense that man's evil
intentions!
What Ganondorf is after must be
nothing less than the Triforce
of the Sacred Realm. |
|
He must have come to Hyrule to
obtain it!
And, he wants to conquer Hyrule...
no, the entire world!
Link...now, we are the
only ones who can protect Hyrule!
We must not let Ganondorf get
the Triforce!
I will protect the Ocarina of Time
with all my power!
He shall not have it!
You go find the other two
Spiritual Stones!
Let's get the Triforce before
Ganondorf does, and then defeat
him! |
|
- After being allowed a peep show at the creepy Gerudo man she was spying
on, she will recruit you to retrieve the remaining Spiritual Stones to get
to Sacred Realm with her before Ganondorf does. She also gives you a
"letter," which you can use to get past the guard at the base of Death
Mountain in Kakariko Village.
|
- When you're ready to go, head for the exit, where you'll be greeted by Zelda's nursemaid, a ninja of sorts who's loyal to the royal family. She believes the young lady's visions and will help you throughout your quest. For the start of this meeting, she teaches you your first song: Zelda's Lullaby.
New Song:
Zelda's Lullaby |
Castle Garden (Future) |
|
- This is the melody of the royal family. Play it whenever you need to
prove your connection to them or you see a Triforce symbol (three triangle
pattern). |
|
- After that, Impa will then lead you outside the castle and point you
towards Kakariko Village. After a quick flash of light, you are left to seek
out your next objective. Unfortunately, before we really do scale Death
Mountain, there's a few other things we need to accomplish that she didn't
mention...
