Kokiri Forest

Where it all begins.

The start of Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time is in Kokiri Forest, Link’s home. You are about to embark on an incredible adventure, I hope you’re prepared!

First, you can talk to Saria, Link’s best friend. After that, you must find the shield and sword.

To find the Kokiri Sword :

1. Go to the training center ontop of the hill
2. Go past all of the fences until you get to the mountainside
3. Go into the small tunnel

   

4. Go to the left, then right. Be careful to not get hit by giant rolling boulders
5. Get the Kokiri Sword out of the chest
6. Exit the cave and start hunting for Rupees to buy a Deku Shield (40 rupees)

To find the Deku Shield :

1. Go to the house with the red roof (across the stream)
2. Go inside and talk to the guy at the counter
3. Look around at items and find the Deku Shield

• If you have enough money, then buy it.
• If not, go out and search for rupees. There are rupees in bushes, rocks, and inside a house.

  

Once you have your sword and shield, head for the Great Deku Tree. The entrance is blocked by Mido, a jealous guy who will not let you pass unless you have a sword and a shield.
