The Legend of Zelda Orcarina of Time 3D Walkthrough

The Walkthrough

If you're reading this guide, chances are, you already own what is possibly the most highly anticipated game of all time - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The fifth in the legendary series, Zelda has been hailed by many as the greatest game ever made. At the very least, it's a monstrous quest filled with tons of objectives, ingeniously designed puzzles and traps, unique enemies that require careful planning to defeat, and plenty of friends to meet along the way. It's a rewarding game and a breathtaking experience, provided you actually finish it. Keep in mind, Zelda is no walk in the park, but a little knowledge goes a long way, and we're here to give you the tools you'll need to get through the game.

Consequently, we'll steer away from the obvious stuff like basic fighting techniques and weapon use (the in-game tutorials will walk you through these things quite well). We'll also refrain from revealing too much about the storyline, since that would take away from the thrill of discovery. What we will provide is a handy traveler's guide to help steer you along the correct path through your exploits in Hyrule. After all, saving the kingdom is no easy task for a child (or an adult year old for that matter!), and Link will need all the help he can get. So, with controller in hand, get ready for the adventure of a lifetime.

Every adventurer, no matter how wise and knowledgeable about the ways of the world, will get lost from time to time. Hey, it's bound to happen at some point, and that's why we've sewn together this neat little walk-through for the novice and seasoned-pro alike. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is one of the biggest games you'll ever experience in both scope and size. What this walk-through will do is serve as a guide to keep you headed in the right direction. Keep in mind that there are tons of little mini-games to play, items to find, and hidden places to explore that won't be mentioned here, for two reasons:

  • We want to leave as many surprises in the game as we can, for you to find by yourself, thereby preserving the sense of discovery.
  • We want to provide you with the most straight-forward path through the game.

You are obviously free, at any time, to fulfill any mini-quest or to go exploring as you see fit. We're here, mainly, to point you in the right direction, for when you want to complete the game.

Kokiri Forest

After watching the opening cinemas, you'll awaken in your tree-house. Your first mission will lead you to the ancient Deku Tree, the sage plant that watches over Kokiri Forest. Unfortunately, a punk by the name of Mido won't let you up the path unless you have a sword and shield. Buy a Deku Shield from the merchant with coins found in houses and bushes. The Kokiri Sword can be found in a small hole in a rock wall. Kokiri Forest isn't too big, so take a look around, and you should find it in no time. Once you've got these things, go back to where Mido was guarding the path and show him a thing or two!

I'm having problems killing the Armos in Dodongo's Cavern.  Any tips?

Why is it that I'm going through this game step by step, doing what you're telling me to, but you're still at a completely different part than I am. Where the hell am I?

One More tip, Use Nerus love spell only in the fight with Gannon, and you won't lose a lot of hearts, this can be done twice, and speaking of hearts, I have been able to obtain all but 3!

a little tip for first time players, when you reach Gannons castle, remove the spell on the Shadow sage first, but get the gold gauntlets  before finishing that , and do all the others, saving the Fire stage for last!

"After finding all the keys and whatnot" is an incredible example of how you don't write a walkthrough. Usually, even a vague level of detail is required. Talk about half-assed, Gamespot.

I played this on my Nintendo 64. It's the first game I ever completed - 100% of everything. I haven't had access to my original game for several years, and I am surprised at how much I remembered! I finally got stumped when I tried to get to Zora Fountain, so looked for a walkthrough. This one is pretty good - points me in the right direction without a lot of detail. This lets me figure out the challenges for myself. For those of you needing more detailed help, I agree that GameFAQS is a good bet. It's no fun when you are stumped and frustrated, so go get help when you need it, and enjoy the game!

 When I first played was on 3ds, and had a hard time defeating the anemone, then after I finally did it, The water temple was tricky, I did pretty good with some of the mini games, like gettng the large quiver of 40 arrows,, same for deku seeds, the large bomb bag, and 9 out of 10 Poes, I found almost all of the fairy fountains, but never could beat the grave keeper a second time to get  the prize for that one!

The main problem I have with this game is knowing where to go next, so this walkthrough is totally ok with me :)

Kocelot, walkthroughs do sometimes give you those kind of pointers, but generally walkthroughs are designed for people (like me) who walk around aimlessly sometimes not realizing where to go, as maybe I wasn't paying attention or went back to the game after not playing for a while and forgetting where I was. I'd suggest looking at GameFAQS, as usually people will create a separate walkthrough that's just for boss battles, skulltula locations, etc. That's probably your best bet!

A really good walkthrough can be found on zeldadungeon.net. It includes every heart piece and gold skulltula location, plus so much more.

@almossbb Yeah, when you hear that particular squeaky sound you know they are nearby, but there's some that you don't hear the sound, these ones are the tricky ones to find, I remember the location of some but not all of them.
