[[Image:oot_nightmare.jpg | [[Image:oot_nightmare.jpg|right|thumb|A horrible nightmare marks the beginning of an epic journey.]] | ||
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? | |||

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, beckons Link to come with it to the '''[[Zelda: Ocarina of Time/The Great Deku Tree|Great Deku Tree]]''', 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 '''[[Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Saria|Saria]]''', 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 young boy bursts through the doors of his home, only to be greeted by '''[[Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Saria|Saria]]''', his childhood friend.

The sword isn't very difficult to find. To reach it, you must first locate a hole in a fenced area up on a hill. Using your mini-map, head to the western side of Kokiri Village. The hill is on your left. Approach the hole and press the A button when prompted to begin crawling through it. Be careful—on the other side, you'll have to dodge a huge rolling boulder. You can do this by ducking into alcoves when it is rolling toward you. After the large rock has passed, simply run behind it. You'll easily locate the chest by running to the left, then to the right from the hole exit. Open it to get the Kokiri Sword! | The sword isn't very difficult to find.

A quick way to earn some rupees is by running and jumping across the square platforms in the water near the shop. Each time you successfully jump across without falling in the water you earn 5 rupees, and you can do this twice. After you get both just enter a nearby building and then go straight back out. The rupee rewards will be reset. You can collect the rupees as many times as you wish, so by doing this you are quickly approaching your target wealth while as getting used to the controls at the same time. | A quick way to earn some rupees is by running and jumping across the square platforms in the water near the shop.
