Labrynna
After you arrive, head up two screens and you'll hear a woman named Impa calling for help. After you chase the Moblins away she'll follow you. Head north and then west. Impa points out a rock marked with a ▲ symbol. Push it aside and head north two screens.

Talk to all the animals, then talk to the red bear again and it will move aside so you can fit through. Stand in the gap and you'll see another cutscene. A guy in blue, Ralph, will identify you as being from Hyrule and then introduces you to Nayru. She tells you that she feels that danger is approaching the land.

Impa then laughs and reveals she is possessed by Veran, Sorceress of Shadows. She says an age of darkness will begin and escapes through a time portal. You then see some scenes of various changes caused by Veran altering the past.

Impa will then explain some more details and give you the Wooden Sword. She tells you to meet the Maku Tree in Lynna City. Head south three screens, slash the bushes, and enter the town. In the Shop you're in front of now you can buy a Wooden Shield for 30 rupees if you want. Head north from the shop you're currently in front of.

On this screen, enter the building marked with a. Vasu will give you a L-1 Ring Box. He'll also give you an unidentified ring and teach you how ring identifying works. Once identified it turns into the Friendship Ring (#01). Most ../Rings/ will have some sort of power, but they can only be equipped after being identified. Go back outside and continue north. Head through the marked door into the Maku Path. Keep heading north until you reach the stairs, then go up them.

You've found the Maku Tree! She'll explain more of what's going on... and then she vanishes! Head east. Ralph jumps into the portal Veran left. Follow him when you're ready.

The Past
Head south, then east, then south again. Notice the right-hand door on the building. If you're playing on a Game Boy Advance you'll be able to enter (otherwise it's locked) and buy two rings ( Heart Ring L-2 and GBA Time Ring) and a Gasha Seed for 100 Rupees each. Keep digging until you have enough rupees. Enter the left door to play a minigame for 10 rupees. If you score more than 350 points there, you'll get the Octo Ring. Anyway head west three screens then north one screen. Enter the house and talk to the man there for aGasha Seed. Head back outside and then south one screen. Hit on the bordered square of soil and plant the seed. It will now progressively grow the more you do. Keep checking it now and then to see if it has grown a nut. When it does you will get an unidentified ring, or maybe even a Piece of Heart!

The Black Tower
Now head south two screens and follow the path around until you reach the entrance to the Black Tower. Talk to the man in the doorway and he'll explain the origins of the tower. He then moves aside, so go on in.

Follow the path anti-clockwise until you see some holes and a guy reading something. Talk to him to get theShovel! Now you can dig holes and clear piles of rubble. Start with the ones to the right: break through them and then head south to exit. Go back outside.

Dig through the rubble to claim your first Piece of Heart. The Shovel enables you to dig in soft earth in search of Rupees and other treasures.

Now go back out of the tower, then head north, east three screens, and finally north. You're now back at the entrance to the village (a screen to the west of where the father and son were playing ball). You can now dig your way into the Maku Road.

Maku Road
Head north, push the block up to open the door and continue north. Push the block to the left or right. Now you're facing your first enemies, bats known as Keese. They'll eventually land, making killing them easier. Anyway, head east. Kill the Gels and the doors open, so head north.

Push the block up and head left. Push the left block up and the right block right. Step on the button and a chest appears. Head back to the doorway and then follow the path left to reach the chest, which contains aSmall Key. Key in hand, return to the room with the Keese and unlock the west door.

Go between the two formations and push the center-left block inwards, the one above it up, and the one below the button to the right. After stepping on the button the door opens. In this room are some Stalfos (skeletons). Kill them, push the bottom-left block up and the bottom-right block left to claim your second Piece of Heart. Now go right and push the solitary block in any direction to open the door.

Continue east, then north and up the stairs.

The Maku Tree
You find why the Maku Tree died in the future: two Moblins are attacking it. Kill them and she'll thank you. Head south. She'll tell you she wants to marry you. Okay... continue south. When you're ready, step into the time portal in front of you. Head north. Talk to the now adult Maku Tree. She tells you you need the eight Essences of Time in order to beat Veran. She'll also drop you the Seed Satchel, enabling you to pick seeds from trees dotted around the land.

From the Maku tree first go south and burn the tree to get to the east and find 30 rupees in a chest. Afterwards go back to the tree again. Your first destination is Yoll Graveyard. To get there from the Maku Tree, head east, south, south, east, south, then use the The Ember Seeds to burn down the bush in the way. Head east and burn the next one.

Yoll Graveyard
Head east, south, then west. Pay attention to what the boys say about a grave beneath a tree. There's a patch of Soft Soil here for later. Anyway, head south, east, east, and burn the bottom tree. Go on in.

Drop an Ember Seed in the lamp above you, then head east for a second. TheGraveyard Key drops from the ceiling. Head back outside and to the stairs you went down to see the boys. Notice the Gasha Seed spot there. This time head north and push against the gate to open it. Head east, south three screens, and then head into ../Spirit's Grave/.
