RPGClassics.com - Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

	The game beings and you see a story of the Kokiri. You then see a boy who has no fairy to call his own. This is Link, the hero. He is haunted every night by a terrible dream. Just then, the Great Deku Tree summons Navi, a fairy to find Link.
Navi finds Link and explains that he must see the Great Deku Tree. You then take control of Link. Exit the house.
	Once you exit, you see the Kokiri Forest. Then, a young Kokiri runs and greets Link. This is Saria. She says that she will wait for you to see the Deku Tree. Go to the east side and talk with Mido (the Kokiri blocking the path to the Deku Tree. He will not let Link go by without a Sword and a Shield.
Well, problem one is solved quickly. In the southern part of the Forest is a little Maze and the Kokiri Sword. Make sure that once you get it, to equip it. Exit the maze.
	Hunt around the forest a bit until you build up 40 rupees. Then go to the Kokiri Shop and buy a Deku Shield. Now you can go back to Mido. He will finally let you through. Make sure you are equipped and head through the path, watching out for Deku Babas, and to the Great Deku Tree.
The Deku Tree will speak and say that he is cursed, and that Link must break the curse with his courage. He opens up and Link and Navi can now enter the Deku Tree. Enter the Deku Tree.
	Kill the Deku Babas and climb up the vines or the ladder. Start walking around and you will reach a chest with a Map inside of it. Take it. Keep going around and you will reach a door, which Navi will explain about.
When you enter the door, a Deku Scrub will show up and attack by shooting Deku Nuts a Link. Press the R button as it attacks to raise the shield and deflect it back to him. If he is hit, he will run. Catch him and he will give you a clue. The door will open. Go and open the door.
	You have to be quick here. Jump across onto the platform and to the other side. Grab the Fairy Slingshot. But now you have a problem. How do you get out?
Turn around and you will see a ladder. Shoot the ladder to knock it down. Jump down and climb the ladder to exit the room. Now go back to where you got the Map. Kill the Skulltulas with the Slingshot and climb the vines to the top. Once you make it safely there, ignore the Big Skulltulas and make your way to the door.
	Open the door and walk in. Press the button to make the platforms rise. Jump onto each one of them before the time runs out to the other side and pick up the Compass. Once you have the compass, go back across to where the button is. You will notice that the door is barred. Take a Deku Stick and light it up with the torch. Move over to the unlit torch and light it up, thus removing the bars.
Go to the east side and kill the Big Skulltula. From there, jump off, reaching for the heart. When you get the heart, do not go forward any more, just fall. You will go right through the web and to the bottom levels.
	Once at the bottom, make your way over to the button. This will ignite a torch. Light up a Deku Stick and run over to the web over on the other side (remembering to jump onto the platform underwater, not the water itself). Light the web up and it will burn up, allowing you to pass through the door.
On the other side, you will meet another Deku Scrub. Do the same thing to him and he will give you the secret for entering the Queen's Lair. He says the code is 231 'Twenty-three is number one' (must be a Michael Jordan fan). Anyways, looks like you are stuck again. No you aren't. Shoot the eye switch and the door will open.
	This next part is pretty tricky. Go to the left side of the room. Underwater, there will be a button there. Dive down and press the button. Quickly head to solid ground and jump onto the floating platform. It will move under the spiked log to the other side. Jump to the other side. Kill the Big Skulltula and go to the block. Follow Navi's instructions and pull the block backwards. Climb up it and jump onto the ledge and open the door. In the next room, light the torches with the Deku Stick to open the other door.
Stay away from the middle circle. Moving into it will cause Gohma Larvas to fall and attack. Light up the Deku Stick and burn the webs. One web leads to a dead end. Ignore this for now. The other one leads back into the main room. Go there.
	Ok, you have a block, a web, and a torch. How do you solve this puzzle? Push the block over the edge. Jump over to the torch, light a Deku Stick, jump back onto the block, and burn the web. Jump down.
Once down, you will notice 3 Deku Scrubs. Remember the code? 23 is #1? 231. Deflect a nut to the middle Scrub first, then to the right one, then to the left one. Catch the first one, and he will tell the secret of Queen Gohma. He says to strike her with your sword when she is stunned. Ok, so how does that help? Anyways, heal up on any hearts and enter Queen Gohma's Lair.
	After you walk in, the door will shut from behind. Walk up a bit and Gohma will fall from the ceiling. This is not a real tough battle, although if this is your first time playing it, it can be a bit hard. First off, get close to her and hit her with a Deku Nut. This will stun her. Then hit her with a Jumping Slash (2x damage). She will retreat to the ceiling. Keep an eye on her. Once she gets above you, step back a bit and aim for her eye with the Slingshot. Hit her and she will fall, stunned. A few jumping slashes and she will die. Grab the Heart Container and take the portal.
The portal will take Link outside the Deku Tree. He will talk about a man in black armor, who put the curse on him, the Triforce and then tells Link that he must go to Hyrule Castle. Before the Deku Tree dies, he gives Link the Kokiri Emerald. Head back to the Forest. Link will run into Mido again. He blames Link for the death of the Deku Tree. But now, you are allowed to exit the town.
	As Link is about to leave town, Saria finds him. She talks about their friendship a bit and then gives Link the Fairy Ocarina. Without saying a word, Link runs off, leaving Saria.
