The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Jabu-Jabu's Belly

Magic Spell: Din's Fire
‎ The Great Fairy at the summit of Death Mountain mentioned that another of her kind lived near Hyrule Castle, so you make your way there. After going through the market, you climb the vines you see on the right just as before. On the other side of the gate and straight ahead, you see a sign. Beyond it you find a big boulder. After using one of your new bombs, the boulder is no more. You walk into the tunnel that was hidden behind it.

As with the previous Great Fairy, you go in and play Zelda's Lullaby on the Triforce symbol. This time the fairy grants you Din's Fire. This magic causes fire to erupt all around you, injuring enemies and starting fires. You then exit the area and return to Hyrule Field.

A Missing Princess
Your next destination is Zora's Domain which lies to the East. It is south of Death Mountain and Kakariko Village and north of the Kokiri Forest and the Lost Woods. From Hyrule Castle, look at the town's moat. The water for it extends to the East, so you follow it upstream. Eventually, you arrive at an area where you must leave Hyrule Field in order to follow it any farther. At this point you enter the area called Zora's River.

Making Your Way Upstream
As you enter, Kaborea Gaborea the owl is waiting for you once again. Once he is gone, use your bombs to get rid of the boulders blocking your path. Soon, you will find that you can not continue along this side of the river. You must use a nearby Cucco (chicken) to help you reach the other side.

You should notice some purple monsters constantly jumping out of the water to spit rocks at you, and then retreating into the river. They are called Octorocs. To defeat them, use your Deku Shield to bounce the rocks they spit back at them or use your slingshot to attack them. If you get too close to them, they will disappear into the water.

You should be able to reach the end of the river with ease. You should find a waterfall at the end. Stand in the middle in front of the waterfall, pull out your Ocarina, and play Zelda's Lullaby. Then jump through the opened part of the waterfall.

The Silver Scale
This is Zora's Domain, the residence of Hyrule's aquatic beings. Here you will need an item that will enable you to dive deeper, the silver scale. Stay on the path and follow it, until you have to choices, up or down. Go up to King Zora's Chamber. After talking to him, he tells you that Princess Ruto is lost. Afterwards, go to your left and you will see a Zora at the waterfall's edge. Talk to him to play the Diving Game. (See Mini Games Section) It costs 20 rupees and you have a minute to collect five rupees from the waterfall bottom. If you are successful, you will be awarded the Silver Scale. This will increase the depth you can dive from 3 to 6 meters. Dive down to the water and look for an underwater tunnel that leads to Lake Hylia. Once you find it, dive down and navigate through the passageway. You can also reach the Lake on foot. The path to it, from the field, lies in the southwest. There is a ladder on the right side that you will need to access to get past the gates.

Letter in a Bottle
‎ Once you get to Lake Hylia, go forward and Navi will spot a submerged bottle. Z-Target it. The cursor should turn turn green. Dive down there to get the item. You will find a letter in it. It is from the alleged missing princess, saying that she is waiting for you in the belly of Jabu-Jabu. (the Zora's deity) Return to Zora' Domain and show the letter to the King. He will allow you into Zora's Fountain, the dwelling place of Jabu-Jabu.

Fish Offering
Before accessing the fountain, you will need a fish. Go back down and go to the path that lead to the lower section and follow that until you reach some shallow water. You will see a few fish swimming around. They should be near an underwater circle of rocks. Use your empty bottle and catch one in. You can also buy one at the shop for 200 rupees. Go back to King Zora's Chamber and walk through the new path to enter into the next area. Upon entering Zora's Fountain you should see a humongous fish. That is Lord Jabu-Jabu. Release the fish from the bottle directly in front of Jabu-Jabu. He will suck it in, and you will be pulled in as well.

Princess Ruto
Once you get in run past all the enemies in this room until you see the locked door. It looks nothing like a regular door though. Turn around and look up. Then Z-target on the switch and hit it with your slingshot, and the door will unlock. Go into the next room. This next room is of no importance right now so just move on into the next room. You will see Princess Ruto in this next room. Talk to her and you will realize that she is in an angry mood. She will try walking away but will fall into one of the traps that are in the floor. Follow her through the trap. Talk to her, and she will allow you to carry her.

The Boomerang


Go into the door that is behind you. In this next room run, jump, and throw her onto the platform ahead. You will fall in the water. (Throughout this whole dungeon. If anything happens to Princess Ruto, just go backwards and she will be there.) Hit the switch in the center and wait for the water to raise then climb up to the next section. Carry her again and go into the next room. Wait for the platform to come all the way down and then jump on it to go to the top floor again. Now continue through the room where you first met Princess Ruto. Try not to fall in any of the small holes and go into the next room. In this room take the path to the right and put Princess Ruto on the switch and then go into the door. In this room there are Stingers, creatures that fly over and underground. Just step on them to provoke them and strike each of them with your sword to eliminate them. Once you kill them all a chest will appear in the middle of the room. Open it to receive the Boomerang. Put the boomerang on one of the C-buttons. You can now reach things from a distance.

Go back outside to where Princess Ruto is. If you took to long then she is back by where you first saw her. Go and get her and come right back. Go back to where you turned right and this time turn left. Place Ruto on the switch and then enter the room. This is a real easy mini-boss. Just go close and when you see him come out of the ceiling Z-target him with the boomerang and hit him. You should kill him in a couple of hits. Get the map and leave. Ruto will get angry that you left her put once again pick her up and go until you could turn left. Here there use to be something blocking the path. Go into this next room. In this room there a lot of bubbles just floating around. Use your sword to kill them in the time that you are giving to get the compass. Leave the room. Go down the hall and enter the new door. There is another one of those creatures that you killed two rooms ago. Do the same to kill this one and then leave. Go into the last and final hallway in this area and once again fight this creature. Kill the creatures around it first and then kill it and leave the room. With Princess Ruto go back to where you first met her. Once you get back in the room you will notice that the big tentacle that was covering one of the holes is gone. It is on the far right. Fall down and you will be on a platform that isn't reachable from any other way.

Sub-Boss: Big Octo
Go through the door that is now reachable and Princess Ruto will see the Zora's Sapphire. Throw her onto the platform and she will run and get it, but then the platform goes up and then back down but without Princess Ruto. An Octopus named Big Octo comes back down with the platform. His weak spot is his back. You have to stun him by using the boomerang and then hit him in the back with your sword. If the creature isn't facing the right way, hit it again with the boomerang when it's spinning when recovering from your boomerang hit. Repeat this a couple of times to kill him. This could get tricky at times.

Navigating to the Boss Room
Climb onto to the platform and you will be once again taken up. In this next room freeze the jelly looking thing so it becomes a platform and then jump onto it and cross it to the exit. Jump onto the platform and it will take you lower. If you remember this room it is the second room of the level. Now that there is that extra platform you can reach the boss area but it is locked. If you try to stand on the switch it will open but when you get off it will close. Just simply walk around the room and pick up a box. Place the box on top of the switch and enter into the next room. Jump down and then climb the vines. There is a switch but it is blocked by glass. Just simply move back away from the glass, Z-target and then unleash your boomerang to hit the switch. Jump down and then go through the door to enter into the boos room.

Boss: Barinade
The boss of Jabu-Jabu's Belly is Bio-Electric Anemone: BARINADE. First use your boomerang to break his connections to the ceiling. Afterwards, he will unleash hordes of Biri. Kill them by using your boomerang. Now the center of his body will be revealed. Hit it with the boomerang and then with the sword. Repeat these tactics until Barinade is defeated. Barinade will bloat up violently, then explode, turning to tiny drops of acid. You'll see the blue light appear, and Princess Ruto will be floating in it, and she will ask what kept you because she got lonely. Then the two of you will warp out of Jabu-Jabu's Belly.

Aftermath
After the battle, you will find yourself in Zora's Fountain, discussing the fate of the Spiritual Stone with Ruto. Her mother said that she must give the stone only to the man she must marry. Nevertheless, you will take it any ways.

The Scarecrow's Song
Near the underwater entrance to Zora's Domain, you will find two Scarecrows, Bonooru and Pierre. Bonooru will ask you to play a song for him, which he claims he will remember. The song you play will be listed as the game's "Scarecrow Song." It is your own creation but must be eight notes long. You can change the song as you please. If you forget it, Bonooru will give you the melody you last played. Remember the Song, as it will be very useful one day.

You can also create melodies in front of Pierre, but they don't have to be only eight notes long. They can even have special tunes in them if you wish. The song you create for Pierre won't become a new song when you play it.

Beans, Beans, the Magical Fruit
Near the entrance to Zora's River, you will find a man sitting over by a fence. He is eating something. It turns out that he's selling magical beans. Buy one! It's only 10 rupees. But wait! The next one you buy costs you 20 rupees. And the next 30. Despite the increasing price, you figure these beans will be useful later, so you buy as many as you can afford. After the 100 Rupee bean has been bought, the man is sold out. You will plant magic beans in ten patches of soft soil scattered throughout Hyrule. With the exception of the patch near the salesman, you can use a bug to dig up a Gold Skulltula from the soil. (That's almost 10% of the population there!) The patches are located:


 * Next to the Magic Bean Salesman. (Zora's River)
 * Behind the Kokiri Shop. (Kokiri Forest)
 * In the section of the Lost Woods where the forest stage is located. (Two Business Scrubs will also be there.)
 * From the entrance to the Lost Woods, head left and then head left again. You should immediately find a patch of soft soil.
 * Near the south end of the row of graves on the left. (Graveyard)
 * Near the entrance to Dodongo's Cavern. (Death Mountain Trail)
 * Near the entrance to the Fire Temple. (Death Mountain Crater)
 * Next to the Lakeside Laboratory. (Lake Hylia)
 * On the left side of the Gerudo Valley river. (Use a Cucco to help you reach it. A Gerudo and her cow will be there.)
 * A little ways off to the right of the Spirit Temple. (Desert Colossus)

Magic Spell: Farore's Wind
‎ There is a hidden Great Fairy Fountain in Zora's Fountain. Head due east from the entrance to the fountain from Zora's Domain until you see a small spot of land with trees and a gray boulder. Place a bomb next to the gray boulder. The wall behind will collapse and you will be free to enter. Once inside, play "Zelda's Lullaby" on the triforce symbol. The fairy will give you the "Farore's Wind" magical spell. It can only be used in dungeons. If you activate it in a certain spot, you will be able to warp to that spot at any time and at any location in the dungeon. You may dispel it at any time as well to create a new warping location.

Mask Trading Sequence
At this point, you will be able to finish the Mask Trading sequence. If you have not already, obtain the Bunny Hood from the Happy Mask Shop owner. There is a man running around Hyrule Field now. He is usually resting in the northwest area by early day and rests somewhere near the Kokiri Forest entrance at night. Wear the Bunny Hood and speak with him. He will pay you an huge amount of money that fill your wallet. Pay back the money at the shop. You are now free to borrow the following masks:
 * Mask of Truth
 * Goron Mask
 * Zora Mask
 * Gerudo Mask

Deku Nut Upgrade
Borrow the Mask of Truth from the Happy Mask Shop and head to the Lost Woods. Enter the Forest Stage. Put on the mask. The Deku Scrubs will stare at your mask for a brief moment, titling their heads. They will confront their leader about this. They think your face is hideous, but they will give you a "prize" anyway. You Deku Nut carrying capacity will be increased by ten.
