The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/The Beginning

The Journey of a Lifetime Begins!


A great tree, a surreal and disturbing dream, and an eternal forest--these are the beginnings of an adventure beyond imagination. In this tale, a young hero named Link must journey from the woodland home he has known all his life into the great world in order to save all he knows from destruction. Does he have the power to change an uncertain future? Does he have the wisdom to know what to do? Does he have the courage to endure? Perhaps the most important question of all--will he be able to survive the evil that awaits?



Welcome to the Kokiri Forest!
Link, our young hero, is the only boy in the Kokiri village without a fairy. Suddenly he is awakened from a particularly disturbing nightmare to find a fairy in his room. The fairy, exasperated, becons Link to come with it to the, in order that he would hear important, if not urgent, news.

The young boy bursts through the doors of his home, only to be greeted by, his childhood friend. She is overjoyed that Link has finally gotten a fairy of his own, but Link knows deep inside that this was not to be the happy day his friends would expect it to be.

The jealous, in fact, will do his best to make sure of that too. Shocked inexplicably by the apparent favor that both Saria and the Great Deku Tree have shown to Link, he will do everything in his power to prevent you from seeing the great tree. He insists that you must have both a sword and a shield before you can pass. What a jealous fellow, indeed!

Getting the Sword
First order of buisness for getting past Mido is to get yourself a sword. Run to a large clif and look for a small hole using the action button crawl into it and into a small area. Theres a large boulder rolling around so you have to be careful. The best strategy is to wait for the boulder to pass then runn after it there will be a small enclave with a chest. Walk up to it and pres the action button. You'll watch link hop into the chest and pull out the Kokiri sword. You've take your first step towards getting passed Mido. Wait for the boulder to pass then go back through the crawlspace into the kokiri village.
