RPGClassics.com - Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

	When you are at Zora's River, you will meet that owl again. After that, blow up the rocks and make your way to the end of the river. Not too tough. Also, there is a Magic Bean salesman here. They can come in handy later.
Once at the end, you will notice a plaque. Play Zelda's Lullabye, and the entrance to Zora's Domain will open. Jump across and enter the Domain.
	First things first, go up the long stairways and talk to King Zora. He will just talk about his missing daughter. Nothing you can do just yet. Go left from King Zora and talk to the guy on top of the waterfall. Play the game, dive off the waterfall, and collect all of the rupees. If you do it before time runs out, you will get a Silver Scale, which you DO need to continue.
Once you have the Silver Scale, dive under into that little cave (as seen in the pic). You will warp to Lake Hylia. There, near one of the pillars, is a bottle with a letter inside. The letter is from Zora's daughter, Ruto. She says that she is inside Lord Jabu-Jabu's belly, and not to tell her father. Bring the letter to King Zora, and he will let Link into Zora's Fountain. Before going, however, go back to the bottom and catch some Fish (you should see some swimming around). After you have the Fish, go to Zora's Fountain.
	There is not much here for now (besides Jabu-Jabu). There is, however, a Great Fairy Fountain to the right of Jabu Jabu (a gray rock indicated an false wall. The Great Fairy gives Link Farore's Wind, which is a Warp Spell. Anyways, go do Jabu-Jabu. Use the Fish in front of him and he will open up, swallow the Fish, and Link!
Destroy the Octoroks and then aim up to the ubula-like switch. Use the Slingshot and the door will open. On the other side, watch out for the Biris. Do not touch them or else they will send a shock through Link. Follow the path to the other side of the room (do not fall down the hole). Open the door.
	Move in a little bit and you will see a room with a lot of holes and the Zora Princess, Ruto. She will talk and then tell Link to go home. She then turns around and falls into a hole. Follow her down the hole then talk to her twice. After the 2nd time, you can carry her, but you cannot exit the dungeon. Pick her up and go out the door near where you are.
Cut through the path of Shaboms and into the shallow waters. Throw Ruto to the other side and defeat the monsters in the water. Step on the switch and rise the water. Go to Ruto, pick her up, and continue on. Near the end is another ubula switch. Hit it with the Slingshot again to open the door. Kill the Octorok in the next room and jump onto the elevating platform and ride up. You will be in the same room where you met the first Biri. Go back to the room where you met Ruto and open the door on the other side.
	You now have 3 choices. North, West, or East. You also have to worry about the Tailpasarans. Like the Biri, they sting. Take the East path and press on the Yellow button at the end (which you do need a 2 person weight to push down). Go through the door. Set down Ruto and kill the Stingers in there with the Slingshot. Kill all of them and you will get the Boomerang. Now go back and take the West path to the Blue Button. Jump on it and leave Ruto on it to weigh it down. Enter the door.
You will see a large swinging tentacle. Target it and get near it (but not too near). Throw your new Boomerang at it and it will retract into the ceiling. Get close again and it will come back down and try to attack. Continue throwing the Boomerang until it dies and leaves the Map. Take it and go back outside. Ruto will give Link a lecture. Now go back to the East side and take the path branching off. Navi will say that the Large Tentacle is gone (you have defeated the main one. Go through the door.
	Defeat that Tentacle the very same way. Grab Ruto and head to the North Path from the 3 way fork. Now you have to defeat the Tentacle and some Biris. Biris are no longer feared because you have the Boomerang. Kill them, pick up Ruto, and head back to the West path and the branch off from the West room. Kill the Shaboms in 40 seconds or less (with the Boomerang) and recieve the Compass. Now head back to the room where you met Ruto.
There used to be a Large Tentacle in the Northwest corner, but since you defeated it, the hole is now open. Jump down it and take the door right next to where you land. You will now be where the Zora's Sapphire is. Throw Ruto onto the ledge where it is and she will grab it. She then demands that Link take her home. Get close and just then, the platform lifts up and come back down, but not with Ruto, but with Bigocto!
	This fight is not easy. Bigocto is very quick. Target him and stun him with the Boomerang while he moves towards you. Back up a bit and wait for him to get un-stunned. He will now either run the other way or the same way. If he runs the same way, hit him again, back up and wait. If he runs the other way, hit him with the Boomerang quickly. A green spot will show up. Hit it with the Sword. Repeat a few times and it will die and the platform will lower again. Jump on it and it will raise up. Kill the Biris and go out the door.
This part is a bit tricky, and you need to be fast. First, kill the Octorok in the water. Go back up and the platform will start to move. Hit it with the Boomerang. It will freeze. Jump on it and do the same with the other one, quickly. Jump across to the door. You will then be above the room where you first met the Biri, and where you elevated from the basement. Jump to the other platform and it will lower to the main floor. Grab a box and run back over and place it on the switch. The door will open.
	Kill the Biris and clim the wall. Now you will have a web in front of you to prevent you from hitting the ubula switch. Use the Boomerang to hit the switch that will open the door to the Boss' lair. Once in, a bunch of jellyfish will come together and form an armor for the boss, Barinade.
Make sure you have a few bottles of Milk, even if you only have 5 hearts total. Make sure to keep moving while you target the 3 support tentacles and hit it with the Boomerang. It will then let go and release the armor. Target the center with the Boomerang. It will freeze long enough for you to hit the jellyfish with the Boomerang. After killing the Jellyfish, Barinade will release the closer armor. Do the same thing and then all that is left is the body. Keep moving and hit it with the Boomerang. Then do some jump attacks on it. Continue and it should pimple up and die out.
	Grab the Heart and then go to the portal where Ruto is waiting. Once outside, she flirts with Link and then decides to give him Zora's Engagment Ring, (aka Zora's Sapphire). Just be afraid and glad that you got all 3 Stones. Take this time to get any missed Skulltulas or anything that you can get. Also make sure to make a Scarecrow's Song at Lake Hylia. And also be sure to plant Beans at Death Mountain (before Cavern Entrance) in the Lost Woods (near bridge skull kid) and in Zora's River (where the guy sells his beans). When you are ready, go to Hyrule Castle.
When you arrive, the gates will open. A white horse gallops out an on it are Impa and Zelda. Zelda sees Link and throws something into the castle moat. When Link turns around, he sees Ganondorf (just like in the opening dream). See the scene and when you have control again, dive into where the object landed. It is the Ocarina of Time! Zelda then comes to Link in a vision and teaches Link the Song of Time, which can open the Door of Time. She then says that only Link can save the Triforce.
	Go to the Temple of Time. In front of the Alter, play the Song of Time. The Stones will land on the Alter and the Door of Time will open. Enter and there will be a huge room with one thing in the middle. The Master Sword. Go up to it and pull it. Link is then engulfed in light and Ganondorf appears. He thanks Link for opening the door for him and letting him have the Triforce. Looks like you are in some kind of trouble.
