- The game starts with a lengthy introduction where Link is speaking with his mentor, Rusl. Rusl talks vaguely about the world of Twilight and then asks Link for a favor. He has to deliver a letter to the royal family of Hyrule the day after tomorrow and asks Link if he will do it instead. He goes on to speak about Hyrule castle and the community around it. Rusl then tells Link that it is getting late and that they should head back to the village.

- Link sees Rusl patting his son Colin on the head. Alongside Colin is Uli, who is Colin's mother and Rusl's wife.
- The next scene takes place later on and Ilia, a girl from the village, is seen walking Epona, Link's horse, into the woods. Another man named Fado, runs up to Link's house and shouts at him to wake up. Fado needs help herding the goats and takes notice that Epona is missing. You finally gain control of Link just outside his house and the man says to bring Epona with you. There are only ways two to go and one of the ways the man won't let you go unless you have Epona. So run through the area at the top-right of the screen.

- Just head north and enter the area that is marked with water on your map. Ilia is standing here and she says that she has washed Epona for Link. If you speak with her again she will ask you to play Epona's theme again. Just walk right by the grass in on the floor, pick it up, and blow on it to play Epona's theme. Saddle up on Epona and ride him back in the direction of Link's house.

| 1.2 Goat Herding |
|
|
- Back by Link's house, take the other path to get to the main part of Ordon Village. At this point you could jump off Epona and speak with many of the residents of the village. Just to the right you will see Beth, Hanch, and Sera. Sera is the mother of the family and runs a shop in Ordon known as Sera's Sundries. Her husband Hanch assists her by collecting various items and materials to sell in the shop. Beth is just one of the children of Ordon.

At the southern portion of the village you will see the Mayor of Ordon, Mayor Bo, who is also the father of Ilia. Once you are ready ride Epona to the south side of the village and enter the Ordon Ranch.

- Speak with Fado and he will ask if Link can help herd the goats into the barn. There are 10 of them in all and it really isn't too hard. Just ride around with Epona and when Link gets near a goat while on his horse they will run away. Link can press A to do a whoop, which gets the goats moving quicker. Use this technique when the goats are moving towards the barn. Do not follow the goats individually into the barn, but just guide them towards the barn first. If Link follows a goat for a long time, it will get riled up and knock Link off of Epona. Now finish the job and lead the goats closer to the barn and they'll go inside.

|

|
- Afterwards Fado will give his thanks and says he will cover tomorrow. He then he asks Link if he wants to practice with the fences. He sets up a few fences along the ranch which Link can easily jump over with Epona. Just ride around the ranch and press A to pick up speed. Jump over the fence to head back into Ordon Village. The game will ask you if you'd like to save at this point, so do so.

| 1.3 Children of Ordon |
|
|
|
- The next scene of the game takes place just outside of Link's house. Three kids are yelling from outside for Link to awake. You'll then gain control of Link inside his house. (Where exactly was Link sleeping anyway? There is no bed or blanket to be found.) Climb down two sets of ladders and then leave the house through the door. There is actually a cellar within Link's house, but it is too dark down there for now, so just avoid it and go outside.
|
|
