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 :
- Go to the training center ontop of the hill
- Go past all of the fences until you get to the mountainside
- Go into the small tunnel
Climb into this tunnel to find the Kokiri Sword - Go to the left, then right. Be careful to not get hit by giant rolling boulders
- Get the Kokiri Sword out of the chest
- Exit the cave and start hunting for Rupees to buy a Deku Shield (40 rupees)
To find the Deku Shield :
- Go to the house with the red roof (across the stream)
- Go inside and talk to the guy at the counter
- 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.
This house had 11 rupees when I played
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.
