Before life began, before the world had form, three golden goddesses descended upon the chaotic land of Hyrule. They were Din, the goddess of power, Nayru, the goddess of wisdom and Farore, the goddess of courage. Din, with her strong flaming arms, cultivated the land to create the Earth. Nayru poured her wisdom onto the Earth to give the spirit of law to the world. Farore's rich soul created all life forms who would uphold the law. These three great goddesses returned to the heavens, leaving behind the golden sacred Triforce. Since then, the Triforce has become the basis for Hyrule's providence. Where the Triforce stood became sacred land. In the vast, deep forest of Hyrule, the great Deku Tree served as the guardian spirit. The children of the forest, the Kokiri, lived with the great Deku Tree. Each Kokiri had his or her own guardian fairy, except one. His name was Link. Early one morning, Link was having a nightmare. It was the same nightmare he had every night, During a storm, Link would find himself standing in front of a mysterious castle. A rider on horseback, carrying a girl, would race by. The girl would look at Link as if to say something. Then, another rider would appear. This big man clad in black would look down menacingly at Link. Link would then awaken. 5 _________________________________________________________ "Link! Hey, get up, Link! The great Deku Tree wants to talk to you!" As Link opened his eyes, he saw a fairy floating in front of him. This fairy's name was Navi. Navi was sent to summon Link to the great Deku Tree. "Oh Navi, thou has returned!" Said the Deku Tree. "Thank you, Link, for coming. Thy slumber these past moons must have been restless, and full of nightmare. A vile climate pervades this world. Verily, ye have felt it. The time has come to test thine courage. I have been cursed. I need you to dispel the curse with your wisdom and courage. Art thou prepared?" Link entered the great Deku Tree and broke the curse. "Well done, Link! I knew that ye were worthy of carrying out my wishes. A wicked man of the desert cast this dreadful curse on me. Employing his vile, sorcerous energies, the evil one is searching for the Sacred Realm connected to Hyrule. For it is there that one will find the divine relic, the Triforce, that contains the essence of the gods. Whoever holds the Triforce can make their wishes come true. Thou must never allow the desert man to lay his hands on the sacred Triforce. Thou must never suffer that man to enter the Sacred Realm of legend. Link, go now the Hyrule Castle. There, ye will surely meet the princess of destiny. Present this stone to the princess. I have foreseen that she will understand everything." The great Deku Tree gave Link the spiritual stone of the forest. Before dying, the Deku Tree's last words were, "The future depends upon thee, Link. Thou art courageous." 6 _______________________________________________________ HYRULE Hyrule is a land rich in beauty.

This includes items you've acquired, number of hearts you've collected and dungeons you've cleared. If you quit while playing, you will be able to continue where you left off (see page 34 for more information). Name Registration Names cannot exceed eight characters. Use the Control Stick to select a letter and press the A Button to confirm. Press the B Button to delete a letter. When you have finished, press START to move the cursor to END. Press the A Button to finalize your name. Copying and Deleting Files On the File Select screen, select COPY, move the cursor to the file you wish to copy and press the A Button.

Remember, once a file is deleted, it cannot be recovered. 9 ________________________________________________________ Options Sound Select from four different sound modes: STEREO, MONO, HEADSET, AND SURROUND. Headset This allows you to enjoy the game with realistic sound. Surround This mode creates a pseudo 3D environment. To get the full effect, make sure you sit directly between the speakers when playing. Z Targeting Select SWITCH or HOLD mode for the Z Targeting system. Focus Cursor See page 11. Switch If you press the Z Button once, the Focus Cursor appears. Press the Z Button again and it disappears. When you turn the game ON for the first time, SWITCH is the default setting.

Make sure four shade levels are clearly distinguished on the screen. 10 _________________________________________________________ NAVI AND Z TARGETING Navi is Link's guardian fairy. Navi helps and supports Link during his adventure. She gives helpful hints such as enemy weaknesses. If Navi calls you during the game, press the C[up] Button to see what she has to say. When Link gets close to an enemy or object that Navi can help with, she flies in that direction. That enemy or object has a triangle mark next to it. If you press the Z Button, Link looks in Navi's direction, and the enemy or object is surrounded by the Focus Cursor. This is called Z Targeting. When you use Z Targeting, the Navi icon appears in the top right corner of the screen. Press the C[up] Button to read Navi's advice. When using Z Targeting on people or signs, the Navi icon does not flash. Instead, the SPEAK or CHECK commands appear. When Z Targeting is activated, a black band appears at the top and bottom of the screen. When using Z Targeting and the Navi icon flashes, press the C[up] Button to read Navi's advice. NOTE: The Navi icon occasionally flashes even when you're not using Z Targeting. When it flashes, be sure to press the C[up] Button. 11 _________________________________________________________ Using Z Targeting Z Targeting will not help you with Navi's advice, but it can also help your adventure go more smoothly. During the game, if you press the Z Button, the viewpoint centers behind Link. It also slowly centers behind Link if you don't press any buttons or move the Control Stick (see page 13). Talking to Faraway People To talk to people who are far away, use Z Targeting. If the person is surrounded by a cursor, press the A Button to talk. Aiming When using a shooting device, use Z Targeting to accurately target an enemy. Triangle Marks When using Z Targeting, a triangle mark may appear next to an enemy or object. Pay close attention to the color of the triangle mark (Navi's color changes to match the triangle mark). Each color has a different meaning. Yellow Navi knows the enemy's weakness. Green A hint is available. Light Blue A person or sign. Press the A Button. NOTE: It's important to use Z Targeting when battling enemies (see page 20). 12 __________________________________________________________ READING THE GAME SCREEN Game Play Screen Life Energy The heart is Link's life.

When you carry the maximum number of items, the number turns green. With some items, you can increase the maximum number. Deku Stick (Child Link) The Deku Stick works like a sword, but is much weaker. They break very easily. Deku Sticks can also work as torches. Find them after defeating enemies or purchase them in stores. Fairy Slingshot (Child Link) Use the Slingshot to shoot enemies or objects that are far away. Hold the C Button and Link's hands zooms in. Aim with the Control Stick and release the C Button to shoot. If you use Z Targeting before shooting, your accuracy will increase greatly.

It will start running by itself. If it hits an object, or runs for a while without hitting anything, it will explode. Once it starts running, you have no control over it. Magic Bean Place Magic Beans at certain locations and they eventually sprout. Z Targeting comes in handy when trying to decide where to plant a Magic Bean. 23 ________________________________________________________ Fairy Bow (Adult Link) Shoot enemies or switches with the Fairy Bow. It works the same as the Fairy Slingshot. As your adventure progresses, you will find three magic arrows each with different effects.

[ IMAGE: Map screen ] Link's Current Location Your current location appears here. Area Name The cursor points to the name of the area. If something on the Map screen is blinking, then Link should visit that place next. Viewing the Dungeon Map Screen While inside the dungeon, if you access the Map screen, you can view a map that gradually draws in as you explore. Dungeons are very complex, so check your map often. [ IMAGE: Dungeon Map Screen ] Dungeon Levels Dungeon level numbers appear on the left side of the screen. When you select the desired level with the cursor, the layout of that level appears on the right side of the screen. The Link icon indicates the level you are currently on. The Skull icon indicates the location of the boss (you must have the compass for this icon to appear). Room Colors Blue - Rooms that you have already visited. Blinking - Your current location. No color - Rooms you have yet to visit. Skull Mark Skull marks indicate the location of the dungeon boss. Square Mark Treasure chests are represented by a square mark. If the square mark is red, then the treasure chest has never been opened. Dungeon Map Maps you obtain appear here. 31 _______________________________________________________ What is a Dungeon? If you want to restore peace to Hyrule, you need to journey into the dungeons. Each dungeon has its own boss. Defeat each dungeon boss to complete the dungeon. Treasure Chests/Dungeon Items Treasure chests come in various sizes. Big chests hide important items such as maps and compasses. Dungeon Map A dungeon map shows all the rooms in a dungeon, including your current location. Until you get the map, you can only see rooms that you've been in. Compass The compass shows you the location of all treasure chests. It also shows you the location of the dungeon boss (indicated by a skull mark). Boss Key You need this to open the door to the boss's room. Small Keys and Doors Use small keys to open locked doors. The number of small keys in your inventory appears on the game screen. Once you use a small key, it will disappear. You can only use small keys in the dungeon sections where you find them.

If your game ends . . . Your game will continue . . . in the field (Child Link) at Link's house outside a dungeon (Adult Link) at the Temple of Time in a dungeon at the dungeon entrance When you continue, you only have three hearts full in your Life Energy. Quitting During Gameplay If you want to quit during your adventure, make sure to save your progress first. Turn the power OFF when you are done. If you save and quit during your adventure, the game saves the number of hearts in your Life Energy. *Do NOT turn the power OFF while saving. This may cause saved data to disappear. 33 ________________________________________________________ TIPS FOR YOUR ADVENTURE This section provides you with some helpful hints for your adventure. It is the hope of all people of Hyrule that your wisdom and courage will bring peace back to Hyrule. While you are playing the game, you discover that Link has aged seven years since his adventure began. During that seven-year span, the atmosphere of Hyrule has changed dramatically. Things Link does in his childhood affects him as an adult. In the village of Hyrule, if you do something at the Temple of Time, you will be able to travel between these two time periods. This time travel is necessary for you to progress through your adventure. Make sure to visit the people you met as a child. You never know what has happened to them in seven years. 34 ________________________________________________________ TIPS FOR YOUR ADVENTURE The Passage of Time in Hyrule Time passes in Hyrule. Day turns regularly to night. There are enemies who only appear at night, many stores that are closed at night and people who only appear during the day. Make sure to visit places during the day and night. Time stands still in Kakariko Village and Hyrule Castle Town Market. It's a good idea to travel to other areas in Hyrule, where time passes, before going to these places. Don't Waste Rupees! There are many stores in Hyrule. In the stores, many helpful items are available for purchase. Some items are very expensive. If you have enough Rupees, you can buy these expensive items. In some stores, you can obtain these valuable items without paying or in exchange for certain things. Try to think about other ways to obtain items without wasting Rupees. Some items cost more than the maximum number of Rupees you can collect. 35 _____________________________________________________ Cutting the Grass Grass can be cut with the sword (or picked up and thrown). When cutting the grass, you sometimes find Hearts or Rupees. When you find yourself short on items, try cutting the grass. You never know what you'll find. Make sure to check under rocks and inside vases, too. Collecting the Golden Skulltula When you defeat the Gold Skulltulas (spider monsters), they change into Golden Skull Tokens. Collect these Tokens and you can exchange them at certain places for helpful items. The number of Golden Skulltulas you've collected appear on the Quest Status Subscreen. The more Skull Tokens you collect, the more items you can obtain. If you defeat all of the Gold Skulltulas in a dungeon or area, a mark appears on the corresponding map. If the mark does not appear, then Golden Skulltulas are lurking somewhere nearby. Some Skulltulas cannot be defeated without obtaining a certain item. 36 ______________________________________________________ TIPS FOR YOUR ADVENTURE Setting the C Items You will obtain various items during your adventure. More than likely, dungeons hide important items. You should equip dungeon items immediately. Use items that you find not only in dungeons, but in other places around Hyrule. Use the C Buttons to assign these items. All Enemies Have Weaknesses Enemies are everywhere in the dungeons, and you can be sure that they will attack Link. Stay calm and keep an eye on your enemies with the Z Button. When you do this, if you press the C[up] Button, Navi tells you each enemy's weakness. Knowing an enemy's weakness is the best way to defeat it. If a sword doesn't work, try using an item in conjunction with the sword. 37 _________________________________________________________ Find the Fairy Fountains to Regain Hearts Fairy Fountains are found all over Hyrule, although some of them are hard to find. Visit these fountains to refill your Life Energy. Make sure to look everywhere. Ride the Horse Traveling by foot in Hyrule can take a long time. It's a good idea to use a horse. Horses can be found at Lon Lon Ranch. With a horse, you'll be able to cross the Hylian plains in no time. Although you can only ride the horse in certain places, it will always be waiting for you if you need to go somewhere. You must do something special before you can fide the horse, and you can only ride it when Link is an adult. the number of carrots on the screen indicates the number of times you can increase the horse's speed. 38 ________________________________________________________ TIPS FOR YOUR ADVENTURE Stone of Agony Get Help With the Stone of Agony! The Stone of Agony is an item you may find in Hyrule. When you are near treasure chests or hidden items, if you have the Stone of Agony, your controller rumbles (only with the Rumble Pak accessory). Let's Go Fishing! There's a pond near Lake Hylia where you can go fishing. If you catch a big fish, something good will happen. If you have the Rumble Pak accessory, you will feel a tug on your line. 39 __________________________________________________________ NOTES 40 __________________________________________________________ For further information or assistance, please contact: Nintendo Consumer Assistance Hotline 1-800-255-3700 (U.S. and Canada) Or your local authorized Nintendo retailer. 41
