Chapter 1 - Ordon Village

Introduction

You will see a cutscene where Rusl, your mentor, is sitting with you by Ordon Spring. Rusl asks you to bring something to the royal family of Hyrule (I was never clear what exactly you were bringing). Rusl talks about Hyrule and Castle Town, places that you will see. You'll see a girl take Epona (your horse) down a path into the forest. A man, Fado, wakes you up and asks you to herd some goats for him. You agree.

When you finally gain control of Link outside your house, run down the forest path to the left to find your horse. Continue down the path until you get to Ordon Spring, where the girl who took your horse, Ilia, has your horse. Ilia asks you to play the grass that Epona likes. Near the spring gate, you'll see some grass that looks like horseshoes, this is horse grass, pick and play it. Epona should come to you. Get on your horse and ride it back to your house. At your house take a left to Ordon Village.

Goat Herding

Feel free to talk to the people around Ordon as you ride to Ordon Ranch. The lady shopkeeper will tell you about some troublesome monkeys and the swordsman, Rusl (remember him?) will tell you about his son, Colin, making you a fishing rod. Mayor Bo will tell you to finish up your chores. Continue to the Ranch at the south side of Ordon Village.

Ride your horse forward and accept to do Fado's herding. The goats won't listen to you unless you "whoop" them. Ride around, "whooping", until you have gotten them all in the barn. After you're done, Fado will tell you to take it easy and he'll set up the fences. To jump a fence, dash before running into it. Jump around and leave by jumping over the gate at the north end of the ranch.

The Ordon Children

You'll see the Ordon Children, Talo, Malo, and Beth, wake you up (where were you sleeping anyway? There is no bed or blanket in the whole house) Go outside and talk the kids. They'll say something about a slingshot (30 rupees at Sandra's Sundries, the shop in Ordon with a pink roof). Colin, Rusl's son, will tell you that he finished the fishing rod he working on but it's at his house. Go to Ordon.

Exploring Ordon

Talk to Rusl's wife, Uli, who is by the stream. She asks you if you've seen a cradle float downstream. You haven't. Climb up the vines on the islands to the right. Jump to the next island to the right and play the hawk grass. With the hawk in hand, turn around and fly the hawk to the bee hive. Jump to the shop roof and then 2 more times to the last island. Call the hawk and hit the monkey in the distance. The hawk should bring you the cradle Uli was looking for. Bring Uli the cradle and bring to her house. She'll give you the fishing rod.

New Items

With the fishing rod in hand, go over to the dock where the cat is staring into water. Catch 2 fish and follow the cat into the shop. The shop owner gives you half a bottle of milk (restores 3 hearts). You can reuse this bottle. Buy the slingshot while you're in the shop (30 rupees) and go back to your house. Talk with Rusl, he says he left something in your house. Talk to the kids and show off your slingshot. Before you go in your house, shoot down the spider on the ladder. In your house is the wooden sword :). Go show off the sword to the children. You'll see a monkey. Follow the kids into the forest path. Go past the spring and past the bridge into Faron Woods.

South Faron Woods

Walk forward down the path, there is some horse grass, pick and play it. Jump over the gate with your horse. Continue down the path past the Faron Spring and take a left. Talk to Coro, the lantern oil man, he'll give you the lantern (lantern oil is 20 rupees). Light the fire to be able to have Coro's soup (random effect). Turn around and take a left throught the cavern (watch out for the baba plant).

North Faron Woods

You'll need your lantern to go through to cavern. Light any huge spider webs in you way with the B butten. At the fork in the path go right for a yellow rupee (10). Turn around and take the right path at the fork. When you get to the big clearing go to the left target on you map. When you get there, light the torches to get a big chest. Open both chests to get a key (little chest) and a heart piece (big chest). Head to the southwest corner of the clearing and use the key to open the gate.

Continue to the target. There is a self serve potion shop on the right, you can steal potion without paying :). Continue to the target at the top of that giant tree slide. Kill the bad guys and attack the cage holding Talo and the monkey.  Talo apologizes and you go to Ordon Ranch.

Into the Twilight

Call Epona. Herd the goats for Fado a second time. Fado tells you to go to the Mayor. In front of the Mayor's house, Ilia gives you a mouthful for injuring Epona. Ilia takes Epona to the spirit's spring. Head to Ordon Spring. Let the kids borrow your sword so you can get through. In the small clearing in the forest path, look on the right wall for a hole. Crawl through the hole, take the left path.

Ilia apologizes for taking Epona. It's all good now. Oh no, monsters! One hits you and the others take Ilia and Colin. You get up and run to the huge, gaping, black wall. This is the Twilight. An invisible hand takes you into the Twilight. You have turned into a wolf!
