A Long Time Ago...
Before life began, before the world had form, three golden goddesses
descended upon the chaotic land of Hyrule. They were Din, the goddess of
power, Nayru, the goddess of wisdom and Farore, the goddess of courage.
Din, with her strong flaming arms, cultivated the land to create the earth.
Nayru poured her wisdom onto the earth to give the spirit of law to the
world. Farore's rich soul created all life forms who would uphold the law.
These three great goddesses returned to the heavens, leaving behind the
golden sacred Triforce. Since then, the Triforce has become the basis for
Hyrule's providence. Where the Triforce stood became sacred land.
In the vast, deep forest of Hyrule, the Great Deku Tree served as the guardian
spirit. The children of the forest, the Kokiri, lived with the Great Deku Tree.
Each Kokiri had his or her own guardian fairy, except one. His name was Link.
Early one morning, Link was having a nightmare. It was the same nightmare
he had every night. During a storm, Link would find himself standing in front
of a mysterious castle. A rider on horseback, carrying a girl, would race by.
The girl would look at Link as if to say something. Then, another rider
would appear. This big man clad in black would look down menacingly at
Link. Link would then awaken.
"Link! Hey, get up, Link! The Great Deku Tree wants to talk to you!"
As Link opened his eyes, he saw a fairy floating in front of him. This fairy's
name was Navi. Navi was sent to summon Link to the Great Deku Tree.
"Oh, Navi, thou hast returned!" said the Deku Tree. "Thank you, Link, for
coming. Thy slumber these past moons must have been restless, and full
of nightmares. A vile climate pervades this world. Verily, ye have felt it.
The time has come to test thine courage. I have been cursed. I need you to
dispel the curse with your wisdom and courage. Art thou prepared?"
Link entered the Great Deku Tree and broke the curse.
"Well done, Link! I knew that ye were worthy of carrying out my wishes. A
wicked man of the desert cast this dreadful curse on me. Employing his
vile, sorcerous energies, the evil one is searching for the Sacred Realm
connected to Hyrule. For it is there that one will find the divine relic,
the Triforce, that contains the essence of the gods. Whoever holds the
Triforce can make their wishes come true. Thou must never allow the
desert man to lay his hands on the sacred Triforce. Thou must never
suffer that man to enter the sacred realm of legend. Link, go new to
Hyrule castle. There, ye will surely meet the Princess of Destiny. Present
this stone to the princess. I have foreseen that she will understand everything."
The Great Deku Tree gave Link the Spiritual Stone of the Forest. Before
dying, the Deku Tree's last words were, "The future depends upon thee,
Link. Thou art courageous."

-----------------
Z Targeting will not only help you with Navi's advice, but it can also help
your adventure go more smoothly.

surrounded by a cursor, press the A Button to talk.
Aiming

Select Item Subscreen
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As you guide Link
through his adventure, you will find various items. To use
an item, you need to assign it to one of the C Buttons.
Select Item Subscreen
---------------------
Here are a few items you can assign to the C Buttons.
(Magic Arrow)
You cannot use this when the Magic Meter is empty.
(Magic)
You will be able to use three kinds of magic. You cannot use magic if the
Magic Meter is empty.
(Bottle)
This is the number of bottles in your inventory.
(Event Items)
These are items you obtain through events. You may exchange some
items during the course of your adventure. The items on this screen
change as your game progresses (See "Event Items").
Setting the C Items
-------------------
Press START during the game to access the Subscreen. Press the Z or R
Button to access the Select Items Subscreen. Use the Control Stick to
place the cursor on the item you want to use and press the C<,v,> Buttons.
The item is now assigned.
In this game, you will watch Link grow from child to adult (See "Tips for
Your Adventure"). There are items in the game that Link can only use
in childhood or adulthood. Items you cannot use are black and white.
Intruducing the C Items
-----------------------Some items, those with numbers located next to them,
have limited uses. When you carry the maximum number of items, the
number turns green. With some items, you can increase the maximum number.
*Deku Stick* (Child Link)
The Deku Stick works like a sword, but is much weaker. They break very
easily. Deku Sticks can also work as torches. Find them after defeating
enemies or purchase them in stores.
*Fairy Slingshot* (Child Link)
Use the Slingshot to shoot enemies or objects that are far away. Hold the
C Button and Link's hands zoom in. Aim with the Control Stick and releasd
the C Button to shoot. If you use Z Targeting before shooting, your accuracy
will increase greatly. If you just hold the C Button, you can aim the
Slingshot without shooting it. Collect Deku Seeds to refill your ammunition.
*Boomerang* (Child Link)
If you throw it, it comes back! The Boomerang can stun or defeat enemies.
Use Z Targeting to improve your accuracy. Some enemies can only be
defeated with the Boomerang.
*Deku Nut*
Throw a Deku Nut on the ground and a bright light flashes, temporarily
stunning enemies (the Deku nut cannot stun all enemies). Deku Nuts can
be found practically everywhere.
*Ocarina of Time*
Play the Ocarina at certain times and special things may happen. With
the Ocarina, you can also warp to other place (See "Effects of the Ocarina").
*Fairy Ocarina*
This has the same effect as the Ocarina of Time, but disappears one you
receive it.
*Lens of Truth*
See which walls are real and which are fake with the Lens of Truth. Using
this item consumes magic.
*Bomb*
Damage enemies or blow up walls with the Bomb. Be careful not to get too
close to the blast or you may get hurt. Bombs explode approximately
four seconds after you pick them up (See "A Button")
*Bombchu*
Pick up a Bombchu and set it at your feet. It will start running by itself. If
it hits an object, or runs for a while without hitting anything, it will explode.
Once it starts running, you have no control over it.
*Magic Bean*
Place Magic Beans at certain locations and they eventually sprout. Z
Targeting comes in handy when trying to decide where to plant a Magic Bean.
*Fairy Bow* (Adult Link)
Shoot enemies or switches with the Fairy Bow. It works the same as the
Fairy Slingshot. As your adventure progresses, you will find three magic
arrows each with different effects.
-- Fire Arrow -- (2 MP)
-- Ice Arrow -- (2 MP)
-- Light Arrow -- (4 MP)
((MP Consumption))
Using magic, and some items, consumes Magic Points. Spin swings also
use up Magic Points. Watch your Magic Meter!
*Hookshot* (Adult Link)
There is a hook at the end of an expandable chain that can grab onto
certain objects. This is helpful when trying to get to hard-to-reach places.
A red dot marks the distance you can travel. The Hookshot can also be
used as a weapon (even underwater). When using, if you see a red dot,
your target is in range. As the adventure progresses, you can extend the
length of your chain.
*Megaton Hammer* (Adult Link)
Move big blocks or activate a rusted switch with the Hammer. You can also
use it as a weapon.
Somewhere in Hyrule are three Great Fairy Fountains. Here, you can learn
three different magic spells. When you meet a Great Fairy, the Magic
Meter shows the remaining number or Magic in the top left corner of the
screen. You need the correct amount of Magic Points to use magic.
*Din's Fire* (6 MP)
Fire wraps around Link's body, protecting him from harm. This is very
helpful when surrounded by a large number of enemies.
*Farore's Wind* (6 MP)
Farore's Wind surrounds Link's body with a green light, and the spot where
you first use it will be set as a warp point. If you use the magic again at
a different location, you will be able to warp back to the original warp
point. Select "Dispel the Warp Point" to set a new warp point location.
*Nayru's Love* (12 MP)
A blue light surrounds Link, protecting him from emeny harm. It wears off
after a short time.
Magic Power Recovery
--------------------
To refill your Magic Meter, find Magic Jars by defeating enemies, or looking
under pots and bushes. You may also consume the green medicine that you
buy in shops. There are two types of Magic Jars: large and small. Large jars
refill your Magic Meter completely. It is rumored that there is a place
somewhere in Hyrule where you double the size of your Magic Meter.
*Empty Bottle*
Bottles can carry medicine, milk or other important things. You can use
them whenever you need to. Your inventory cannot exceed four bottles,
and you cannot buy them anywhere. Look everwhere and talk to everyone
to find them. They are very useful.

shops, but you must have an empty bottle.
-- Green -- Completely refills Magic Meter
-- Red -- Completely refills Life Energy
-- Blue -- Completely refills Life and Magic

are Event Items. Use them at certain places or show them to certain
people during your adventure. Event Items can be set with the C Buttons.

Tips For Your Adventure
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This section provides you with some helpful hints for your adventure. It is
the hope of all people of Hyrule that your wisdom and courage will bring
peace back to Hyrule.
While you are playing the game, you discover that Link has aged seven
years since his adventure began. During that seven-year span, the
atmoshpere of Hyrule has changed dramatically. Things Link does in his
childhood affect him as an adult.
In the village of Hyrule, if you do something at the Temple of Time, you will
be able to travel between these two time periods. This time travel is
necessary for you to progress through your adventure.
Make sure to visit the people you met as a child. You never know what
has happened to them in seven years.
The Passage of Time in Hyrule
-----------------------------
Time passes in Hyrule. Day turns regularly to night. There are enemies who
only appear at night, many stores that are closed at night and people who
only appear during the day. Make sure to visit places during the day and night.
Time stands still in Kakariko Village and Hyrule Castle Town Market. It is a
good idea to travel to other areas in Hyrule, where time passes, before
going to these places.
Don't Waste Rupees!
-------------------
There are many stores in Hyrule. In the stores, many helpful items are
available for purchase. Some items are very expensive. If you have
enough Rupees, you can buy these expensive items. In some stores,
you can obtain these valuable items without paying or in exchange for
certain things. Try to think about other ways ot obtain items without
wasting Rupees.
Some items cost more that the maximum number of Rupees you can collect.
Cutting the Grass
-----------------
Grass can be cut with the sword (or picked up and thrown). When cutting
the grass, you sometimes find Hearts or Rupees. When you find yourself
short on items, try cutting the grass. You never know what you'll find.
Make sure to check under rocks and inside vases, too.
Collecting the Golden Skulltula
-------------------------------
When you defeat the Gold Skulltulas (spider monsters), they change into
Golden Skull Tokens. Collect these Tokens and you can exchange them at
certain places for helpful items. The number of Golden Skulltulas
you've collected appear on the Quest Status Subscreen.
The more Skull Tokens you collect, the more items you can obtain. If you
defeat all of the Golden Skulltulas in a dungeon or area, a mark appears
on the corrresponding map. If the mark does not appear, then Golden
Skulltulas are lurking somewhere nearby. Some Skulltulas cannot be
defeated without obtaining a certain item.
Setting the C Items
-------------------
You will obtain various items during your adventure. More than likely,
dungeons hide important items. You should equip dungeon items immediately.
Use items that you find not only in dungeons, but in other places around
Hyrule. Use the C Buttons ot assign these items.
Items that you find in the dungeon are more likely to be effective in
that dungeon.
All Enemies Have Weaknesses
---------------------------
Enemies are everywhere in the dungeons, and you can be sure that they
will attack Link. Stay calm and keep an eye on your enemies with the Z
Button. When you do this, if you press the C^ Button, Navi tells you
each enemy's weakness. Knowing an enemy's weakness is the best way
to defeat it. If a sword doesn't work, try using an item in conjunction
with the sword.
Find the Fairy Fountains to Regain Hearts
-----------------------------------------
Fairy Fountains are found all over Hyrule, although some of them are
hard to find. Visit these fountains to refill your Life Energy. Make sure
to look everywhere.
Ride The Horse
--------------
Traveling by foot in Hyrule can take a long time. It's a good idea to use a
horse. Horses can be found at Lon Lon Rance. With a horse, you'll be able
to cross the Hyrulian plains in no time. Although you can only ride the horse
in certain places, it will always be waiting for you if you need to go somewhere.
You must do something special before you can ride the horse, and you can
only ride it when Link is an adult. The number of carrots on the screen
indicates the number of times you can increase the horse's speed.
Stone of Agony
--------------
*Get Help With the Stone of Agony!*
The Stone of Agony is an item you may find in Hyrule. When you are
near treasure chests or hidden items, if you have the Stone of Agony,
your controller rumbles (only with the Rumble Pak accessory).
Make sure to look around when you feel the rumble.
*Let's Go Fishing!*
There's a pond near Lake Hylia where you can go fishing. If you catch a big
fish, something good will happen. If you have the Rumble Pak accessory, you
will feel a tug on your line.
