Template:Location

Yoll Graveyard is a location in Present, located at the east portion of Labrynna in Oracle of Ages. It is one of the regions that Link will journey to along his quest. The first dungeon, Spirit's Grave is located deep within the Graveyard and it holds the first Essence of Time, the Eternal Spirit. Yoll Graveyard is also where Link first meets Moosh on his journey to Cheval's Tomb to acquire the Zora's Flippers and Cheval Rope.

Location

Yoll Graveyard is located at the east end of Labrynna in the Present time period. The Graveyard has just a single entrance and it comes from the Forest of Time to the west. The Yoll Graveyard borders the Rolling Ridge Base to the north and the Crescent Strait to the south, but there are no direct entry points to this region.

Features

After Link saves the Maku Tree in the Past and then returns to her in the future, Link will be awarded with the Seed Satchel and some Ember Seeds. The Maku Tree informs Link that he'll need to acquire the eight Essences of Time and she sense the first one at Yoll Graveyard.[1]

After traveling to the Forest of Time, Link will see a sign near a small bush pointing to the Yoll Graveard. Link will need to use an Ember Seed to burn the tree and gain access to the Graveyard.

Initially, Link will not have access to the full graveyard. There is a key lock near the north end of the Graveyard, preventing Link from passing.[2] Link will need to travel to acquire the Graveyard Key to advance further within the area. Near the south end of Yoll Graveyard, Link will find a trio of kids talking about a secret grave hidden beneath a tree. The three kids eventually get scared and will run off.[3][4][5]

The kids in the Graveyard are referring to a secret grave beneath a bush at the southeast corner of the Graveyard. Link can use his Ember Seeds to burn the southern tree and enter the secret grave. Inside, Link will need to light the two Torches, causing the Graveyard Key to fall. With the Graveyard Key in hand, Link can unlock the gate at the north end of Yoll Graveyard, which will eventually allow Link to access the first dungeon, Spirit's Grave.

Later in the quest, after Link has completed the second dungeon, the Wing Dungeon, he will return to the Yoll Graveyard. Here he will find one of the possible Animal Companion, Moosh. This giant blue bear is being tormented by three Ghinis and Link must help him out. After defeating the Ghinis, Link will be able to use Moosh as he navigates through the Yoll Graveyard. Using Moosh, Link can access Cheval's Tomb, located at the northwest corner of Yoll Graveyard.

At the southwest corner of Yoll Graveyard, Link will find a Piece of Heart. However, there is a stone that is blocking Link from acquiring it. After Link gets the Power Bracelet from Spirit's Grave, he can lift this stone and acquire the heart piece.

One screen south of the entrance to Yoll Graveyard, Link will find the lone Soft Soil location within the Graveyard. Here, Link can plant a Gasha Seed that will eventually grow to become a Gasha Tree and give off a Gasha Nut.

In the center of the Graveyard, Link will find the Clock Poe floating around near a grave. He cannot reach him until after he has acquired the Power Bracelet from Spirit's Grave. After Link is able to speak with the Clock Poe, he mentions that the headstone is blocking his pathway to the afterlife. After moving the headstone for the Clock Poe, he'll thank Link by giving him the Poe Clock, the first item in the Trading Sequence.

Spirit's Grave

Main article: Spirit's Grave

The Spirit's Grave is the first dungeon featured within Oracle of Ages and it is the main attraction found within Yoll Graveard. The dungeon is located deep within the graveyard, at its southeast corner. Link will need to acquire the Graveyard Key in order to access this portion of the Yoll Graveyard. Inside the dungeon, Link will acquire the Power Bracelet, giving him the ability to lift objects. Link will battle with the mini-boss in the form of a Giant Ghini and the dungeon boss Pumpkin Head. As a reward, Link will get a full Heart Container as well as the first Essence of Time, the Eternal Spirit.

Syrup's Potion Shop

Main article: Syrup's Potion Shop

Syrup's Potion Shop is located at the northeast corner of Yoll Graveyard. However, it is on the other side of a small area of water. Link will need to have the Zora's Flippers before he can access the shop. Inside, Link can purchase Gasha Seeds, Magic Potions, and one Piece of Heart.

Cheval's Tomb

Main article: Cheval's Tomb

Cheval's Tomb is located at the northwest corner of Yoll Graveyard. Link will need to use Moosh to fly over the pitfalls in this area in order to reach the grave. Inside, Link will find the Zora's Flippers, which will allow him to acquire Cheval Rope, an item needed by Rafton to build a Raft.

Past

In the Past, water had surrounded this region, isolating it from the main landmass of Labrynna. The area is not a Graveyard at all and instead, it is the Sea of No Return. This region isn't accessible until late in the game, after Link travels through an underground cave on Crescent Island.

The Sea of No Return is one of the only areas in the entire game where Link is unable to successfully play the Tune of Ages. If Links attempts to play the Tune, he will start to transition to the Present, but will be brought back by a Mysterious force, preventing him from entering the Yoll Graveyard in this fashion.[6] Similarly, Link cannot use the Tune while in the Present.
