You wake up as Link after a long sequence involving a fairy and a tree. First of all,
get used to the controls here on the Gamecube version
because Gamecube's controls are a bit clunky on this original N64 game.
Use the automated jump to get across the wood blocks and get 5 rupees
Don't buy anything yet! Go to Mido, the little boy guarding the
path to the Great Deku tree. Speak to him, and he will tell you that he
won't let you pass him unless you have a sword and shield! Now time
for some hunting!
Go to the left of your house and go up a hill. You should see some
fences with some grass around. Go through the fences to the other side,
where a hole reside. Go up to the hole and press A to crawl through.
Go left and wait until you see a giant boulder rolling after you! Now
don't move and the boulder will go to the right of you. Follow that
boulder and take the first right path you see. Ah-ha! Your first
treasure chest! Go up to it and press A to see how lovable Link looks
like trying to get that item outta the big chest! ^_^ Guess what's the
item? Your first SWORD! The sword is KOKIRI SWORD. Go to the item menu
(start button) and go to the equipment menu. Move your cursor to the
sword. Press A to equip. Now, back to the overworld. Practice with your
sword with some grass and signs. Familiarize yourself with the
L-targeting.
Your next objective: to get the shield! This time, there's no hunting!
All you have to do is to find 40 rupees and buy the shield in a
store. You should have some already. If you don't have 40 yet, go to
the house down the hill and enter it. There are some chests with rupees
inside. Go back out and go right and you should see a little cliff. Get
up on it. Go right and take the blue rupee between the larger cliff and
the house. Take the rupees from the chests! Also, walk around in the
patches of tall grass, you might find some rupees. If you STILL don't
have 40 rupees, try picking up some rocks and throw them. There might
be some rupees there.
When you've had enough, go to the store (the house near Mido) and buy
your first shield! It's DEKU SHIELD! Equip it, I trust you know how to.
Go back out and talk to Mido. He will let you through to the Great Deku
tree, after all that bickering!
On the way to the Deku tree, you will encounter your first Deku Babas.
Use the L-targeting to lock on them and use the B button to use the
sword. When you've defeated one of them, pick up the wood stick it left
behind! Now you have your first DEKU STICK! Equip it to one of your C
buttons. Proceed to the Deku Tree when you've defeated all of the Deku
Babas.
The Deku Tree will speak to you and you will be given an option, select
Yes. Then enter the opening the Deku tree created for you. Here begins
your epic adventure as Link!
I N S I D E T H E D E K U T R E E
Go left and up the ladder. Go down the path, and jump across the gap to
another path. Watch out for the bat, use the L-targeting to track him
down and kill him. Jump again to the other platform. Go up the path and
kill the monster (I call him the Spider, alright?). Open up the chest
and you will get the DUNGEON MAP! Now you can see all of the rooms that
you wasn't in before! Very useful, indeed.
Go up the vines and walk around the walkway until you see a switch. Go
on the switch and the fire will ignite on the torch, causing the web to
burn out. Go through that door that is now accessible. In the room,
there is a switch with a fire next to it. Don't worry about it right
now. Go down to the bottom platform and kill all of the monsters that
resides there. You should get your first DEKU NUT! Now, get back up to
the original platform, use the vines to get back up. Get your Deku
Stick out and start a fire by putting the Stick next to the fire. Then
go back to the bottom platform and make the cold torch touch the flamed
Deku Stick. Now a treasure chest will come out. It's on the other side
of the room. Press the switch and jump to the other side. Open the
chest. It's a BLUE RUPEE. Now, make sure you've killed every monster in
the room because if you didn't... you're still locked in the room. Kill
every monster then the door will unlock and a big treasure chest will
come out. Get to it and open it. Its.... the FAIRY SLINGSHOT! Equip it!
Also, practice with it so you can aim without using the L-targeting.
Go back to the second floor and roll to the crate near the vines. You
will uncover a GOLD SKULLULTA. Destroy it and take the token. Now, get
one of Deku Sticks on fire and burn that spider web to the right. Enter
the door.
You will see a GIANT BABA lunging at you. Stay back at the edge of the
room and fire Deku Seeds (use the Slingshot) at the Baba. It will need
4 hits to dieeeee. Then destroy both spiders. now take out your
Slingshot and aim at the open eye above the other door. If you did hit
it, the door will unlock.
Use your Slingshot to destroy the spiders and the Skullultas. The get
on the other side (use the vines) and open the chest. It's your first
COMPASS! Whoo! Turn back and immediately jump onto the floating
platform and again, _IMMEDIATELY_ jump to the original platform. If you
didn't make it (Skulltula hit you), then shoot a Seed at the ladder
above the alcove. It will come down, allowing you to use it. Exit the
room.
Go back to the main floor. It's down to 1F, the place where you began
this dungeon. You should have a lit torch near a web. Light up your
Stick and roll on the web. The web will burn out. You'll FALLLLLL to
the B1F. Now swim to the higher platform and get on it. Kill off the
Babas and press the switch. Go to the lit torch and light up your Stick
again. Burn the web and press the switch that was behind the web. A
chest will come out on the other platform... :P Get to it and open it.
it's a BLUE RUPEE or a DEKU SHIELD if you lost it earlier. Go back to
the lower platform and use the Slingshot to close the eye above the
door. Enter the door.
A Deku himself will be firing some Nuts at you. You have to L-target
him or the Spiders and press R to use your shield. The Nut will bounce
off your shield and toward your target. Chase down the Deku and kill
him. Go back to the pervious room and light up your Deku Stick. Go back
in again and light up the two torches. The bars will go out. Enter the
new door.
Take the chest and the RECOVERY HEART.
This portion is a bit tricky, especially if you have never played a n64
Zelda before. You have to press the switch to bring out the fire and
light up your Deku Stick. Then you have to get on the moving platform.
While on the platform, get to the near side and roll (use A) when the
spiked log comes close. So, press the switch when the moving platform
is at the farthest away. Then do what I just said. When you've gotten
past the log with your fire on the Stick still intact, jump to the next
platform and light up both torches. The door will unlock. Kill the
skulltula by standing in the northwestern corner and fire some Seeds at
it. The get up on the cube and exit the room.
JyHw1234@cs.com adds: "There is a MUCH easier way, and very simple.
Just jump on the platform and hold R. Then while Link is crouched the
log will just go right over him." He was referring to the log portion.
You can just hold R and go under the log! Thanks, man!
Kill absolutely ALL of the enemies here and there are many of those! A
Deku, 4 Spiders on the floor, a few more Spiders on the roof and a Bat!
Use the Deku's Nuts to kill the ground Spiders (use the shield) then
kill the Deku. Then all of the spiders will come crashing down. Kill
them all, and don't forget the bat. When you've killed them all, exit
through the new door.
Don't move any further when you enter the room. Stay where you are and
fire Seeds at the bats on the torches. There are 4 in all, and when you
kill them all, stand on the switch. Use the torches to light up your
Stick. Burn down web to the right of the door you just entered. (The
other door has nothing valuable for now, wait until you have Song of
Time) Crawl through the hole.
Don't worry about the Giant Baba. GO right and reflect a Nut back to
the Deku. The Deku will surrender and ask you if you want to buy a Deku
Shield for 50 Rupees. Your decision. Then use the Seeds to kill the
Baba. Go to the block and Navi will tell you that you can push the
block! Do so by pressing down A when the Action Button says 'Grab'.
Press up to push the block. Push it until it falls off to the water.
Jump off to the next platform with the fire. Yes, the LOWEST platform!
Light up your Deku Stick and immediately jump to the shallow part of
the water and climb up to the middle platform. Now, jump from here
to the block. Then climb up to the upper platform. Quickly go to the
web and roll! If you was fast enough, the web will burnnnnnn! Drop down
the new hole.
Take the hearts if necessary. Then go on the dry ground. You will be
facing 3 Dekus! However, you have to defeat them in a certain order. I
found this out by trial and error, but I've heard that you can get the
info from somewhere else, but I don't know where. The order (from left
to right) is: 3, 1, 2. Then track down the 2nd Deku and he will tell
you the secret of Queen Gohma and unlock the door. Enter the door
refresh your health and seeds first).
*~B O S S~*
Q U E E N G O H M A
This boss is pretty easy, even for the first dungeon. If you listened
to the Deku's advice, you already know how to beat her. First, go to
the First-Person View and look for her eye. Then the battle begins.
All you have to do is avoid her until she climbs to the ceiling. When
L-target her if you haven't yet and get your Slingshot ready with a
Seed. Wait until her eye is red and shoot! She will come crashing down,
exposed for attacks. Immediately go to her eye and MASH, I repeat, MASH
your B button!!!!!! If you mashed your B button fast enough, you won't
have to hit her eye again with a slingshot! It's that simple! If you
didn't kill her on the first try.... Try again! She's not that hard.
Superkyle1991@cs.com sent this tip:
"To quickly kill Queen Gohma, throw a Deku Nut when she's on the ground.
Her eye will be red. Also use L-Targeting forward and B to kill her quick."
This makes the boss even MORE EASIER! What a boss! :P
Take the heart container when you've defeated your first boss. Then use
the blue warp to go back to...
K O K I R I F O R E S T
Congrats! You have gotten your first Spiritual Stone, the KOKIRI
EMERALD! The next objective: go to the Goron Mountain and get the
second spiritual stone.
Leave the Kokiri Forest by going to the other end of the little town,
out a tunnel. Then your long-time friend, Saria will call you and say
good-bye and give her treasure, the FAIRY'S OCARINA. Then you will be
at...
