Yet Another Zelda 64 Guide (Yes, that is the real name): Version 1.1, Part 1 By Roland Carlos E-Mail: FongSucks@hotmail.com Web Sites: http://commander.geminisector.com (Page for Starcraft) http://members.xoom.com/pokedem (Page for Pokemon, GB Game) Hello, and welcome to yet another Zelda 64 Guide. Hopefully, you will find this one useful to you. I am making this so people who get the game on Christmas will find it useful. This guide lists many secrets not found on most internet based guides. If you would like to take from this guide, just give some credit to me. Now, on with the show! Table of Contents - Part 1 1. Introduction 2. Version Updates for Part 1 3. Game Controls 4. How to Start Off in the Game 5. Items 6. All 36 Hearts --------------- 1. Introduction --------------- Well, the reason I am making this guide is to help people in Zelda 64 (oh, BTW, the real name is Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, but Zelda 64 is a lot shorter). I have made only one other RPG guide. It was for Final Fantasy Tactics (a good game, get it!) for the PSX. However, I am refining my way of writing using this guide. I reserved the game and got it on Dec. 3, 1998. Yup, I remember when I got the game. I started playing and couldn't stop. I played many hours and had many sleepless nights. However, if I didn't do that, there wouldn't be a guide, now would there? I just beat the dang game recently (of the time I am writing this) with a game you should call "perfect". 20 white-bordered hearts, big magic meter, 100 Gold Skulltulas, a horse I call Epona, all 4 bottles, 3 magic spells and magical arrows. Sure, beating a game usually means it's death, especially in single ending RPGs. However, it did not for me. I am still playing it even though I have got the "perfect" game. Hopefully, you will benefit from the help I will give to you. If you don't, well, you just aint looking hard enough. -Roland Carlos (Confirmed Zelda 64 Master) ----------------------------- 2.

How to Start Off in the Game ------------------------------- Needless to say, starting the game in the beginning is hard. You usually won't know what to do for a long time, a time better spent playing the game more. I will help you up to leaving Kokiri Forest. You'll start in your house. Go out and go down the ladder. You will talk to Saria for some time and then you can walk around. If you try to go to either the Hyrule Field or Deku Tree exit, you will be stopped. However, Mido at the Deku Tree will say you need a sword and shield to pass. Getting the sword and shield are easy, you just need to know how. The shield is super easy. While browsing around the houses of Kokiri Forest, you will see the shop owner selling a Deku Shield for 40 Rupees. Open the chests in Mido's House for some Rupees. Go to the House of Twins to get a few Rupees. You can go back and forth in the Twins House to get the Rupees in the pots. You can also jump on the blocks near the shop without falling for 5 Rupees. Buy the shield whenever you get enough Rupees. Now, go to the Know-It-All Bros House. Talk to them for some helpful beginner's information. When you are done with them go into the fence maze and talk to the Kokiri at the end for some information. When you are done, go to the little hole and stop. The Blue Button (representing A) will say "Enter". Press A and enter. Use Up to go forward. You will be in a secluded part of Kokiri Forest. A boulder will go around in a circle around the column. Just follow behind it and when you get to the to north-western part, take a right. Open the chest there for a Kokiri Sword! Go out the way you came. Now, go back to Mido. He will let you pass. On the way to the Deku Tree, you will be "attacked" by Deku Babas. Well, all they do is stand there, you can slice them for Deku Sticks, but they will just regrow, so kill enough for 10 Deku Sticks or practice your swords play. When you get far enough you'll talk to the Deku Tree and he will let you inside him. You will be in a large room. There are some Deku Babas that attack. To beat them you can either attack like crazy (not recommended) or let them attack, block with your shield and counter. Climb either the ivy or ladder. If you use the ladder just run off the edge so you can get to the other side. You will jump automatically and land. Keep going on the ledge and you will reach a chest. It will contain the Dungeon Map. The Dungeon Map allows you to see the whole map in the Subscreen. Now, enter the door after the chest. You will see a Deku Scrub. It shoots Deku Nuts at you. If you get close, it will run away, so you need a different tactic to beat it. You can Z Target it and when it fires a Nut, stand still and use your shield. The shield will reflect it back to the Scrub and he will get hit. It won't die, but it will stand there. Go up to him and talk. Listen to what he says and remember it. It will help you. Go into room behind him. Jump off the ledge and climb the ivy so you can get to the chest. Open the chest and recieve the first real useful item, the Slingshot! Now, you are probably wondering how to get out. People who have a real tough time would just save and reset now, so they can go back to the beginning of the Deku Tree. The way out is real simple. Aim the slingshot and the ladder above the door you came in. Fire, and the ladder will fall down. Climb the ladder to get out. Go back into the large entrance room. Keep going forward on the ledge. You will reach some ivy. There are some Skullwalltulas on the ivy. If you trying climbing it while they are on it, if they hit you, you will be knocked down. It is possible to climb while they are on the ivy, but I just Z Target them and Slingshot away. Go up the ivy when they are dead. If you try go off any of the log ledges, you will be attacked by a Big Skullwalltula. They are hard for the beginner and require patience. Now, don't get close to it when it is facing you. It will use the un-blockable spin attack and send you flying back with some damage. Wait till it is turned away and attack with the sword or slingshot. Don't jump off yet though. Open the door nearby and go into the big room. Step on the switch to your right and three pillars will rise. Jump onto them and keep jumping until you get to the chest on the other side. Open it for the Compass. It will allow you to see where the Boss (marked by a Skull) and the Chests are in the dungeon on the map. Jump back, but stay on the 2nd pillar. Face the alcove and jump in. You can get a recovery heart and you will see a Skullwalltula type enemy on the wall. When you try to kill it, you see it takes two hits and it leaves a big skull behind. That my friends, is a Gold Skulltula. Get the token. There are 100 Gold Skulltulas all over the world, and you have one. In order to get out of the big room, you must use your Deku Sticks. Take one out and have its tip touch the torch on fire. The Deku Stick will catch on fire. Bring the fire to the other torch. The door will open, and you should put away the stick before it burns out (just stand still and the A Button should say, Put Away). Go onto one of the log ledges (make sure to watch out for Big Skullwalltulas) and jump off. Land on the web and you will crash down onto the water below. There are two Gold Skulltulas in this room. One is on the small gate. Use the slingshot to kill it and jump off the ledge to get it. The other is on the ivy leading back up to the entrance. Kill it and climb up to get it. Use a Deku Stick and grab some flame. Go over to the door covered by webs. Make sure you walk on the shallow part so the flame will not go out. Use the flame on the web and it will burn out so you can go into the room. Beat the Deku Scrub and remember what he says (2,3,1). To go to the next room, use the Slingshot on the eye above the sealed door. Jump into water, but avoid the spiked log. Dive a little bit when you get to the switch so you can touch it, barely. A platform will be raised, but only for a limited time. Use it to jump onto the other side and watch out for the Big Skullwalltula there. Go into the next room. The room is very easy, just light all the torches. Go into the next room. Walk around the edge until you get to the door. If you go into the center, you will attacked by some Gohma Larvae. Also, the wall that looks weird, it is a bombable wall, but you need bombs to open it. The bombs will gained later in the game. You will end up back into the place where you entered the basement. Get some flame and roll onto the webbing while the flame is still going. The web will burn and you will fall into the next room. Remember 2,3,1 from that scrub? You use it here now. There are 3 scrubs in the room. You must kill them in this order, middle, right, left (get it?). Nuts from other scrubs may hurt you so watch out. Move around after you send a nut back at its attacker. When you kill them in the right order, the door to the boss opens. Make sure you are ready because there is no turning back. If you want to know how to kill the boss, go to the How to beat the bosses section. I want you to look at the rest of this guide! After you win, make sure to grab the heart somewhere on the battlefield. Then, step into the light so you can be taken out of the Deku Tree. Make sure you have everything you need before you leave Kokiri Forest. You can now since you beat the Deku Tree Dungeon. You can come back, and you should, but there is a whole world to explore. After you leave Kokiri Forest, the whole world is yours. It's up to you from here. Good luck! -------- 5.
