RPGClassics.com - Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

You have finally reached Hyrule Field. Right now, you have to go to Hyrule Castle.
	After you make your first turn, you will meet up with Keepora Gabora (the wise owl, or wise guy). Listen to what he has to say and continue. Now, on to Hyrule Castle. Chances are, you will not get there before dark, so you have to spend the night fighting Stalchilds. Not too tough, just try to make it through the night. Hyrule Castle is at the northern part of Hyrule Field.
This is Hyrule Castle. Enter when you get there. There are plenty of things to do here. A few games to play (make sure to play the Sling Shooting game, if you think you are good enough). Also, talk to Malon, the little girl by the well. She says that her father (who owns the Lon Lon Ranch) has gone to the castle but has not returned. Enter the castle.
	The owl will appear again soon after you enter. Talk with the guard and he will reject your request to see Princess Zelda. So try to sneak in, but get caught on purpose. Reason being is so that Malon will appear. She requests that you find her father, and gives Link a Wierd Egg. Climb the vines again and sneak into the castle successfully (stay a good distance from the guards to do this).
You will find Malon's father, Talon asleep inside the castle walls. Wait until dawn and the Wierd Egg will hatch into a Chicken. Use the chicken to wake up Talon. Realizing that Malon might be mad at him, he runs off. Now, if you look to the right, you will find a few milk crates. Move one into the drop before the moat, and the other on top of it. Climb it and jump onto the ledge on the other side. Crawl through the hole and enter the courtyard.
	This part can be frustrating. You have to make your pass across the whole courtyard, without getting caught by the guards. The courtyard consists of 5 areas to pass. Hide behind walls until guards pass. Study their movement and make your move. After the last long pass, you are home free.
After you pass the courtyard, walk up to the girl standing at the window. This is Zelda. She will ask Link if he has the Kokiri Emerald. Say yes and she will tell her dream to Link. She tells more of the Triforce and the Sacred Realm, which can be entered through the Temple of Time. She says that in order to get to it, you need the 3 Spiritial Stone and the Ocarina of Time. She will then show you Ganondorf, the King of Gerudos. Zelda then gives Link a Letter and tells him that her attendant will escourt him out. Go back and meet Impa. She will teach Link Zelda's Lullabye on the Ocarina.
	Impa will escourt Link out. She tells him to go to her hometown of Kakariko Village. She also says that the Gorons of Death Mountain have the Spiritial Stone of Fire. She then disappears. Now, I recommend that you take a detour to the Lon Lon Ranch in the middle of Hyrule Field.
In the middle of the ranch, you will meet Malon again. She will introduce you to her horse, Epona. Talk to her a bit more until she asks you to sing a song with her. Take out the Ocarina and she will teach you Epona's Song. Once you learn it, Epona will take right to Link. There is not much else here. A few Gold Skulltulas, a Piece of a Heart, and a Bottle. Refer to each section for where each of them are. You will also meet Talon's jellous Farmhand, Ingo. Keep him in mind for later. Keep an eye for Navi. She will mention Saria. Now it is time to look for her. Back to Kokiri Forest.
	When you get back to Kokiri Forest, you have to start looking for Saria. They will say that she is in her secret place. This is the Lost Woods. Climb the vines at the northern part of the forest and continue until you reach the entrance to the Lost Woods.
Ok, this part can be tricky. You have to take the right routes or else you will end up back at Kokiri Forest. From the start, go right, then left. You will then run into the Owl again. Go from there right, left, straight, left, and right.
	You will notice that the gate is up. Get close to it and a Wolfos will attack. Not too tough. As he attacks, do a backflip than a jumping slash and that should kill him. After you kill him, the bars will go down. Now you have to make your way around to the back. Keep your shield up, as Mad Scrubs will attack.
After the final stretch, you will reach the Sacred Forest Meadow. Saria is there waiting for Link. She says that this place will someday be important to both of them. She then teaches Link Saria's Song. After you learn it, exit the Sacred Forest Meadow. You will, yet again, run into that stupid owl. In my words, you should ask the owl how many licks it takes to the center of a tootsie pop (just a joke). Anyways, take any route and you will exit the Lost Woods (unless you go left).
	Now you have to head to Kakariko Village. It is just a bit to the east of Hyrule Castle, so it is not hard to locate. Like in Hyrule Castle Town, there are a few things to do here. A few pieces of heart to earn, another bottle, a few Gold Skulltulas. Remember to refer to each section for details on each. Also, the house of the Skulltula is here. When you get 10 Gold Skulltulas, come here to get a prize. Each time you get 10, you get a prize until you get 50. Then you have to get the last 50 to get the last prize.
Go to the guard at the gate to Death Mountain. He will refuse to let Link enter Death Mountain unless you have Royal Permission. Well, you have Zelda's Letter. Show it to him and he will let you in. But, he mentions 2 things. 1: Link should get a better shield. After all, Death Mountain is an active volcano, and a Wooden Shield would not stand up well against it. He says that if you go to the Bazaar in Hyrule, he will give you a better shield with a discount. He also mentions something about the Happy Mask Shop. Read about that in the Side Quests Section.
	First things first, head to the Graveyard to have a little fun. Read one of the graves beside the big one. A Poe (or ghost) will appear and attack. Remember not to target it, or else it will disappear. Once you have hit it 4 times with the Slingshot, it will die and leave a spirit. He says that he thought that Link was one of Ganondorf's men. It tells of Ganondorf and their research to control time. Anyways, stand on the Triforce symbol in front of the big grave and play Zelda's Lullabye. A quick storm will come and open the grave to Link. Go inside the grave.
I hope you have some Lon Lon Milk, or else this will kill you. First off, you are in a room with a bunch of Keese (or bats). Kill all of the Keese which will open the door. Go through it and you will be in a large room, full of Re-Deads and a lot of Ooze. The ooze does damage, but it is a lot better than running into the Re-Deads, who can freeze you with their eyes and then drain the life out of you. Go right through the middle of the room (through the ooze), and hopefully make it out the other side.
	Once you are on the other side, you will see this. Read it and it you will see a song. This must be the song the poe was talking about. Learn it and you will notice that if it was day before you went in, it is night now, and vice versa. This is the Sun's Song, which can control time. It also can freeze the Re-Deads right in their track, which will help a lot. But it only lasts a short while, so be quick with them. Exit the Grave.
Make sure it is night out before doing this. Find the marked grave. Go behind it and pull on it. It will reveal a hole. Go down into it. There is nothing here but a small chest, so it must be unimportant, right? Well, open it anyways. You will find a Hylian Shield! Remember the one the guard told you to get at the Bazaar for a discount? Well, you couldn't ask for a cheaper shield than that. Now you are ready. Head into Death Mountian.
