Zelda Ocarina Of Time Master Quest on N64 - Ocarina of Time
save

The 3 stones are now in your possession, you must return to see Zelda at the castle. But upon arriving near it, the sky darkens, thunder rumbles over Death Mountain and clouds roll in over you. The rain begins to fall and the drawbridge opens. A horse comes galloping from the castle and you see Princess Zelda pass before you, led by Impa on her white steed. Zelda sees you and throws an ocarina to you (which lands in the moat) before disappearing into the distance. You turn around and come face to face with the vile Ganondorf riding his black steed with red eyes. He asks you for the direction Impa and Zelda took, but Link remains silent and draws his sword. Ganon sends Link flying with an energy ball and disappears into the plain after introducing himself and telling Link that soon the world would be his.

All this is not very encouraging, but you can still retrieve the Ocarina of Time from the moat. As soon as you take it, Zelda contacts you via telepathy and apologizes for not being able to wait for you. She teaches you the Song of Time and tells you to go play it before the Altar of Time and protect the Triforce.

Before going to play music at the Temple of Time as Zelda asked, go and get the few skulltulas that you can take thanks to the boomerang to reach 30 symbols and thus obtain the Giant's Wallet in their house (Kakariko village) and possibly the bombchus if you have killed 40 skulltulas. Also go and get any hearts you might have forgotten and then finally head to the castle. --In the save game proposed above, I have already retrieved these items and skulltulas--.

After this short interlude, I advise you to carry out the Mask Quest which will allow you to obtain the Mask of Truth as well as the possibility of carrying more sticks and more nuts by showing the Skull Mask and then the Mask of Truth (3) to the Dekus in the Forest Stage located in the Lost Woods in a hole under the grass, where butterflies fly (2). One last important thing to do before growing up is to buy and plant Beans in the holes scattered throughout Hyrule. If you don't want to plant them all, at least do the first 3 on the list (Lake Hylia, Death Mountain Trail, and Cemetery) which will yield a 1/4 heart when you are an adult.

The Temple of Time

Now that you are well prepared, go to the Temple of Time (you know, the church-like building in Hyrule Town) and play the Song of Time in front of the altar. Your ancestral stones take flight and place themselves in the recesses. The Triforce lights up and the Door of Time opens. Go through this door. The purifying blade is there, on the pedestal. Go and remove it from its socket. Barely in possession of the Master Sword, light flashes and Ganon appears. He thought you had the key to the Doors of Time and followed you to the temple. You made a big mistake by opening the way for him to the Sacred Realm. The light disappears with Ganon and you faint.

The Chamber of Sages

You wake up in a strange place. An old man named Rauru speaks to you, calling you the chosen one. Rauru is one of the sages who built the Temple of Time to protect the entrance to the Sacred Realm. He explains that you are in the Chamber of Sages, in the Temple of Light located at the center of the Sacred Realm. This temple is the last bastion against Ganondorf's evil influence. The Master Sword that you pulled from the Pedestal of Time was the key to the Sacred Realm. You were able to remove this sword because you are the chosen one, the Hero of Time. This sword, forbidden to the forces of evil, was destined for you. But you were too young to be this hero and your spirit was sealed in the sanctuary for 7 years. You are now grown up and must fulfill your destiny. As you know, Ganondorf also crossed the Doors of Time. He also stole the Triforce from the Temple of Light and crowned himself the Great King of Evil. He transformed the world into an unspeakable chaos, perverting the temples of Hyrule. Rauru is too weak alone but with the 6 other sages, he can stem the evil powers thanks to the Seal of the Sages. You are the Hero of Time chosen by the legendary sword! You must guide Hyrule towards the light! Rauru entrusts you with the Light Medallion and disappears by shouting to you: "Find the Sages and save Hyrule!".

You find yourself in the Temple of Time, in the same place where you pulled the sword. The moment you leave, a young Sheikah named Sheik appears and explains that when evil arrives, the sages take refuge in the 5 temples: in a deep forest, on a high mountain, in a vast lake, in the house of the dead, and in the sand goddess. The Hero of Time will wake them up and they will bring peace and justice to Hyrule. You must comply with this Sheikah legend and wake up the 5 sages. The first is a young forest girl you know, but you must first go to Kakariko Village to equip yourself. Exit the Temple of Time and Hyrule Town, which has changed a lot; the world must be saved. Hyrule has become dark, the sun no longer shines on the market square, the royal family's castle has been replaced by Ganon's castle, a kind of large black tower overlooking a lake of lava.

Before going to Kakariko as Sheik advised, go to Lon Lon Ranch during the day. Talk to Ingo in front of the enclosure and pay to ride a horse. Play Epona's Song and climb on her back, then do a few laps of the enclosure jumping over the fences to practice and understand how the horse works. When the minute is up, you find yourself back outside the enclosure. Talk to Ingo again, pay 10 rupees again, and get back on Epona. Then talk to Ingo who will offer you a race for 50 rupees. Win it, then race again and win again to obtain Epona. Ingo then closes the entrance gate. Get some speed and face the gate directly to jump out of the Ranch with the mare. To win the race, I advise you to try to stay on the inside track from the start and never eat all your carrots. Except in exceptional cases, always leave at least one and when they start to recharge, let them fill up to the end.
