The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/Arrival

The Triforce calls Link to Hyrule Castle and warps him to the land of Holodrum. Link wakes up in an open field and soon meets a dancer named Din. She wishes to dance with Link. Suddenly, lightning strikes and an evil voice booms from above. The evil has found Din...

A tornado appears, knocking everyone far away and revealing an armor-clad figure: General Onox of Darkness. He kidnaps Din and imprisons her, knowing that he can send Holodrum into chaos by doing this and destroying the Temple of Seasons. Then, he sends the Temple of Seasons sinking into the earth, wreaking havoc over all the land!

The Adventure Begins
After General Onox imprisons Din, Impa tells Link of the secret quest to deliver Din to Hyrule, and asks Link to take a message to the Maku Tree in Horon Village.

The way to the village is blocked, so first Link must find a sword to clear the path. Head west, then south along the coast, avoiding the Octorocks along the way. Look for a cave entrance in the cliff wall near a dock. This is the entrance to the Hero's Cave.

The Hero's Cave
Once inside the cave, head through the door to the east, avoiding the Keese. Once inside the next room, all of the doors will close. Push the block in the center of the room to open the doors again, then head through the door to the north.

Once in the next room, push the block north to access the path. Across the path, push the left block south and the right block east. This opens the way to the key chamber.

Inside the key chamber, avoid the Keese and Gels and step on the round floor switch next to the chest. Walk up to the south side of the chest and press to open it, retrieving the Small Key.

Return to the second room (the one with the doors that close when you enter), and head south after pushing the block to reopen the doors. Pick up the Wooden Sword and Link will be sent back to the entrance.

Now Link can return to Heron Village. Heading east across the village will bring him to the blocked path, which can now be cleared with the Wooden Sword. Once he arrives at the Make Tree, he'll need to swing the sword again to wake the tree and deliver the message from Impa. The Maku Tree asks Link to Save Din and gives him the Gnarled Key.

The First Dungeon
With the Gnarled Key, go to the giant root up by the lake as the Maku Tree said. It doesn't look like much, but there's a very peculiar keystone next to it. Go up to it and use the Gnarled Key.



Suddenly, the root rises up to reveal a large tree! And inside it is the entrance to the first dungeon: Gnarled Root Dungeon.
