Appearances

The Legend of Zelda

The Lost Woods in The Legend of Zelda appears in southwest Hyrule, and guards access into the Graveyard. Link can learn the secret to getting past the woods by paying the Old Woman in the waterfall, who gives Link information.[1] After paying her a decent amount, she tells Link the secret to getting past the Lost Woods, which is to get north, west, south, and west.[2] Link can then use this information to traverse through the Lost Woods, allowing him to reach the Graveyard, and subsequently, the hidden Magical Sword and Level 6: The Dragon. Alternatively, if Link collects the Stepladder from Level 4: The Snake, he can cross the river on Death Mountain and access the rest of the overworld without passing through the Lost Woods. However, since the Stepladder is found in Level 6 in the Graveyard during the Second Quest, Link must pass through the Lost Woods to access that area.

A Link to the Past

Main article: Lost Woods (A Link to the Past)

In A Link to the Past, the Lost Woods are located at the northwest portion of Hyrule within the Light World. After acquiring the three Pendants of Virtue, Link travels here to acquire the legendary Master Sword.

Ocarina of Time

The Lost Woods in Ocarina of Time are found in the southern portion of the Kokiri Forest. The woods are connected to Goron City and Zora's River which Link can use to warp to these places. Its inhabitants include Skull Kids, Deku Scrubs, and occasionally a Kokiri. Link first goes searching through the Lost Woods in search of Saria. Link eventually finds her in the Sacred Forest Meadow, directly under the entrance to the Forest Temple. It is here where Saria teaches Link Saria's Song, thus allowing them to communicate even when they are far away from each other. Link again visits the Lost Woods as an adult in search of the Forest Temple. The Kokiri believe that if a child gets lost, they turn into a Skull Kid. If an adult gets lost, they supposedly transform into a Stalfos.

Oracle of Seasons

The Lost Woods in Oracle of Seasons are found west from the Tarm Ruins and are located at the northwest corner of Holodrum. Its only inhabitants are a Deku Scrub. Link first goes to the Lost Woods to make it to the sixth dungeon, Ancient Ruins. The secret to getting past the Lost Woods is told to Link by a Deku Scrub, who says: "travel west, south, east, then north, taking each step in a warmer season than the last."[3] If Link follows these directions, he can make it past the Lost Woods.

Later in the game, Link returns here during the trading sequence. After acquiring the Phonograph from Guru-Guru, Link can enter a small cave southwest of the Lost Woods. Inside, Link finds a Deku Scrub who is singing.[4] If Link plays along with his Phonograph, the Deku Scrub loves it, and teaches Link the way to his "Secret Spot": "If temperatures rise as you go far to the west, you'll find it!" By following these exact directions, Link is lead to the resting place of the Noble Sword. This completes the trading sequence.

Spirit Tracks

In Spirit Tracks, the Lost Woods can be found in the wooded area to the immediate west of Whittleton. If Link attempts to traverse the Lost Woods without first learning information from the villagers of Whittleton, he will surely get lost and have to start over. By listening to the villagers of Whittleton, he can learn that the trees tell Link where to go, except for the fourth tree, which has no sense of direction.[7] Link can use this advice to get to the end of the Lost Woods and find the Forest Sanctuary.
