BS Zelda: Kodai no Sekiban/Printable version

From StrategyWiki, the free strategy guide and walkthrough wiki

BS The Legend of Zelda: Kodai no Sekiban is like a "second quest" (ala The Legend of Zelda) for Nintendo's famous The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. It was only available via download for the Satellaview, a Japan-only add-on for the Super Famicom. It has the same basic overworld of A Link to the Past but it is far more than simply a Master Quest, as there are now rental shops and timed events, as well as altered interiors for all locations (not just dungeons).

Items

	Name	Location	Description
	Big Bag	Each Week	This miraculous bag of holding is the first item you receive upon arrival in Hyrule, and is the most useful. Throughout your adventure you'll be handed several of these, each packed with goodies.
	L-1 Sword	Dungeon 1	This sword deals a terribly low amount of damage, so you'll need to upgrade if you're to face the tougher enemies of the later Weeks.
	Tempered Sword	Smithy, Rental	The twin smiths will be glad to renew your sword for you... but only when they're both around to do it.
	L-3 Sword	Dungeon 5, Rental Shop	Red and deadly.
	The Master Sword	Master Sword Grotto, Rental	The sacred blade left in Hyrule by Link when he went off adventuring. Deals a good amount of damage, and the only way to break through certain barriers. You can't face Ganon without it.
	Shovel	Rental Shop	With a shovel you can dig for treasure. It also allows you to find one hidden Piece of Heart in each week's gameplay area, but you have to rent it once from each of the four shops to achieve this.
	Tablet	Dungeons 1-8	The eight titular Ancient Stone Tablets are the ultimate treasures you seek to collect each week; once collected you can unlock the monolith and attempt to deal the death-blow to the Embodiment of Evil.
	Small Key	Dungeons 1-8	This is used to open locked doors.
	Big Key	Dungeons 1-8	This item is a master key allowing you to unlock specific doors in a dungeon that a Small Key cannot.
	Map	Dungeons 1-8	Allows you to see the rest of the dungeon mapped out, even the rooms you haven't visited yet.
	Compass	Dungeons 1-8	The Compass is used to show the exact room the dungeon's boss is in. Pretty much useless without a Map.
	Piece of Heart	Everywhere	The mysterious Piece of Heart will allow you to increase your number of hearts, but you'll need to find a set of four before this item is of any use to you.
	Heart Container	Dungeons 1-8, Piece of Heart ×4	This item allows you to instantly add another heart to your health. Collecting four Pieces of Heart will also make a complete Heart Contaniner.
	Bow	Dungeon 1	The bow shoots arrows.
	Silver Arrows	The Final Battle	The Silver Arrows are the item necessary to destroy Ganon. Without silver arrows to seal his fate he will merely regenerate his health and be unbeatable.
	Ice Rod	Dungeon 8	The Ice Rod allows you to freeze enemies or bosses.
	Fire Rod	Dungeon 6	The Fire Rod burns things.
	Boomerang	Dungeon 2	The Boomerang is useful for stunning strong enemies, instantly killing weaker ones, and collecting items from afar.
	Hookshot	Dungeon 4	The Hookshot is useful for stunning strong enemies, instantly killing weaker ones, and collecting items from afar.
	Bombs	Everywhere	Bombs damage enemies and open new paths…but don't get too close!
	Small Shield	Dungeon 1	This shield is small and basic, and can only deflect a few types of attacks.
	Fire Shield	Dungeon 4	This shield can deflect a few more types of attacks.
	Mirror Shield	Dungeon 8	The overall best shield, the Mirror Shield can deflect anything shot at Link as long as he is facing the attack when it happens.
	Green Mail	The Beginning	Has a defense rating of 1. You have this at the start.
	Blue Mail	Dungeon 3	Raises defense from 1 to 2.
	Red Mail	Dungeon 6	Raises defense from 2 to 4.
	Worn-Out Glove	Week 3	The Worn-out Glove allows you to lift light-grey rocks, but only one per screen.
	Power Glove	Dungeon 5	The Power Glove allows you to lift light-grey rocks.
	Titan's Mitt	Dungeon 7	The Titan's Mitt allows you to lift dark-grey rocks.
	Pegasus Boots	Dungeon 1	These are very useful for breaking into many secrets throughout the game world.
	Magic Cape	Cheats	This item was seemingly cut from the game during development. Its icon fills the final space in the icon screen. It makes the Hero of Light fully invisible, although it does this at the cost of around one portion of the unhalved magic meter per second. The cheat to add it is 7EF34A01.
	Cane of Somaria	Dungeon 7	This mysterious cane can create magic blocks to place on switches, as well as temporary platforms the Hero of Light can ride upon. Due to the game's currently broken state this item is not needed for normal gameplay.
	Magic Hammer	Dungeon 3	The Magic Hammer is used to pound wooden pegs and clams that can block/impede your progress.
	Lamp	The Beginning	The Lamp is used to light torches and see in the dark.
	Mushroom	Week 2	Take this to the Witch's Hut and she'll give you a bag of Magic Powder in return.
	Magic Powder	Witch's Hut	You get this in exchange for the Mushroom. Sprinkle this on enemies and they may change shape.
	Flute	The Beginning	The Flute (or Ocarina) allows you to travel around the world faster. When used in a dungeon it warps you to the entrance.
	Bug-Catching Net	The Beginning	You can catch bees and fairies with this Net. You start with this.
	Bottle	Various	Bottles can hold medicines you buy or things you catch with your Net.
	Book of Mudora	Cheats	Like the Magic Cape, the Book of Mudora was seemingly removed during development. It has no function but its icon fills the final space in the icon screen. The cheat to add it is 7EF35701.

Walkthrough

In Kodai no Sekiban the player will journey throughout the land of Hyrule collecting the titular ancient stone tablets. Will the Hero of Light succeed, or will time run out?

Week 1

Overworld part 1

Sahasrahla gives you the Big Bag full of items.

After Sahasrahla explains how you ended up in Hyrule he explains Ganon's return and gives you the Big Bag. This bag contains a Flute, aLamp, a Bug-catching Net and a Bottle with a Gold Bee inside. You will get the Bag back at the beginning of each Week with all the items you have collected stored in it.

Once you have the Bag, open your inventory and let the Gold Bee out of its bottle. This is a special bee; it will stay with you and even move between screens with you, and it will not leave you until you get your sword—this is because you are currently defenseless without the bee.

Now head onwards to Dungeon 1; with the bee protecting you it should be easy to dodge Octoroks and Armos Statues (don't linger too close as they come alive), but if you're hurt, know that there are healing fairies in the cave immediately south of the Dungeon Entrance.

Dungeon 1

Dungeon items:L-1 Sword, Bombs,Small Shield,Bow, Pegasus Boots

Go through the left-hand door. Let the bee kill the tentacles while you look under the top-left pot for aSmall Key. The bottom-right pot hides a door-release button. The other two hold arrows so you might as well grab them while you're here. Go back down through the door you came in by.

Now go through the right-hand door. Once the tentacle monsters are destroyed, unlock the door and go through.

Here at last is yourL-1 Sword! If you want to keep the Gold Bee, switch to the Bug-Catching Net and bottle it, otherwise you'll lose it forever after opening the sword chest. Now hit the sphere to lower the blocks and go through the door to the right.

Dungeon 1 walkthrough 09:05

Watch a video walkthrough covering from the start of the game to the end of Dungeon 1.

Open the chest for 10 Bombs (bomb the wall above you if you want 60 rupees). Lift the top-left pot for aSmall Key. Go to the right and open the chest for the Map. The pots contain Bombs so fill up. If you want 40 rupees, bomb the top wall. Otherwise go west, west, and bomb the wall to continue.

Open the chest for theSmall Shield then go through the locked door (if the blocks are raised go back east and hit the sphere to lower them). Open the chest for the Compass (bomb the western wall for 40 rupees if you wish). Anyway head upwards. You can bomb the left wall for 40 rupees, and killing the Stalfos opens the other door. Go through it.

Go down the stairs to B1. Go through the door directly to the right (the wall to the left hides 40 rupees if you want them) and kill the tentacles to proceed. In the next room, lift the right-hand pot for aSmall Key. Go down the stairs and through the door.

Go west, up the stairs, lift the pot, hit the button and get the Big Key! Now go to the left.

Go down the stairs and open the Big Chest for theBow! Now go back up the stairs, unlock the door, and go through it.

In this next room lift the central pots to restock your arrows. In the next room use arrows or pots to kill the Eyegore for aSmall Key. Open the door, kill or avoid the two Eyegores and again collect the arrows. By now you should have 30, so unlock the Boss Door and go in. Shoot the red Eyegore to kill it (you can throw pots at the other if you wish, but they won't kill the red one). The left-hand wall hides 40 rupees if you want them.

Bow Upgrade!

Go through the door to the right of the Pegasus Boots chest and talk to the thief to trade 50 Rupees for +10 max arrows.

In the next room lift the top-left pot for aSmall Key. Open the chest for the Pegasus Boots. You can now run everywhere. Unlike in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past you can even change direction when running.

If the clock has reached or passed you'll notice an infinity symbol (∞) beneath the arrow icon. This means you have unlimited arrows, so you can shoot at the bosses without worrying about running out.

Now unlock the door and fight the Armos Knights. They move in two simple patterns (a gradually expanding circle, then a horizontal charge from the top of the screen to the bottom, then the circle again) so it is fairly easy to predict their movements. You can defeat them using the bow or by charging at them with the Pegasus Boots. It takes two hits to destroy one of the knights. They will keep doing these patterns until only one remains. The final one will turn red and start jumping towards you, trying to squash you. He takes three hits to defeat.

Collect the Heart Container andTablet and you can leave the dungeon.

Overworld part 2

There's a Piece of Heart behind that cracked wall in Sahasrahla's hideout.

Items: Flippers, Piece of Heart ×6

Now you've got the Bombs you can explore! Go back to Sahasrahla's hut and bomb the back wall for 60 rupees and a Piece of Heart. Go back outside. South of Sahasralah's home is a different-looking wall (at the end of a corridor of sorts); hop down there and bomb it open. A thief will give you 300 rupees and an additional 80 can be found in the chests. Now head towards the bottom-right corner.

Over to the right is a Piece of Heart surrounded by holes. How do you get it? Just stand above it and face the wall and then use the Pegasus Boots to ram the wall, propelling yourself backwards and onto the island. Now fall down any of the holes. Go out and up the stairs.

From here go east and down one screen. Both the caves here hold 80 rupees; the left-hand one needs to be bombed open, the right-hand one also has fairies and a magical bee if you ram the right statue (and again requires a bomb placed on the northern cave wall to reach the rupees). Go out, up, left, and down to leave the enclosed area you started in. Enter the left-hand cave mouth (the right one needs to be bombed open, which you can do later). Bomb the right-hand cave wall to get 100 rupees (note the Great Fairy), then go out and bomb open the other door for 20 more.

Go a screen to the left and ram the rock-pile for a Piece of Heart. Go up a screen and bomb the wall for another Piece of Heart.

Keep going north then east to the Witch's Hut. You should consider purchasing the Gold Potion if it's available (or another health-restoring one, either red or blue). While this means saying goodbye to your precious Bee the potion is likely more useful, and you lose your Bee at the end of the week anyway.

Ram the rock-pile to the right and the path will lead you to a house. Bomb the wall behind it for a Piece of Heart. You can activate the switch with a bomb or return later with a boomerang. You may also consider entering the house to rent a shovel and go treasure hunt, but it'd be advisable to do that after dealing with the dungeon and other things (so you can make the best out of your rental).

Bomb the wall to the left for a Piece of Heart, then go right and up a screen. Ram the rock-pile for fairies and a thief who gives you 300 rupees! Leave through the door. Go up and to the right into Zora's Domain.

This place is much smaller than it was in A Link to the Past. Head to the north-east corner and talk to King Zora. Agree to buy his Flippers (you should definitely have enough Rupees by now). With these you can now swim. Go down a screen. Swim over to the left into the waterfall to enter Dungeon 2.

Overworld part 3

After Princess Zelda needs rescuing.

Items: Piece of Heart ×3

By now there should be a Piece of Heart in the water in front of you.

Fly to the Witch's Hut, go a screen to the left, fall in the water, and swim up into the waterfall for lots of fairies and a Piece of Heart. Fly to destination 2 and talk to the Mole. Fly back to the Witch's Hut and go a screen to the left. There are 6 chests in his new cave (600 rupees)! To kill time until the next event you could go digging. Go to the nearest Rental Shop, get a shovel, and go hunting for the next Piece of Heart.

Once the timer hits go to the area with the Rental Shop south of the Eastern Palace complex. Zelda will come running from the north. Walking into Zelda will stop both her and the Octoroks, so you can keep on walking into her if you want a breather to plan your strategy. Anyway, kill the Octoroks to save her. She will then follow you, so go to Hyrule Castle and she'll detach, and the old woman there gives you 300 rupees for saving her. You also get 10,000 points!

That's all for this Week. You can kill time by playing the Minigame. When the timer reaches wait for the end of the cutscene and until the game crashes (makes strange noises) before quitting to ensure all data was stored in S-RAM.

Minigame

Go to the island surrounded by holes below the Eastern Palace (where you found the second Piece of Heart) and fall down any of them. You can now play a pot-smashing minigame.

You may have noticed the thief when collecting this Piece of Heart earlier. Once the clock hits he will allow a special game to be played. It will cost 50 Rupees to play, and you will get 15 seconds to use the Magic Hammer to smash as many pots as you can. Each time you hit a pot, you will gain Rupees, which will increase with each pot you hit, from a Green Rupee, to a Blue Rupee, to a Red Rupee, and finally 50 Rupees. Every time you miss a pot, or hit a skull, you will return back to the single Green Rupee with the next pot you hit.

Week 2

Overworld part 1

Fall down the well for a Piece of Heart.

Items: Bottle (100 Rupees), Piece of Heart ×3

When you begin you get the Big Bag of goodies back (but not the Golden Bee, it is deliberately removed). Go out the door and into the grass-roofed hut to the left.

There are 4 chests downstairs, each with a red rupee inside. The bombable wall leads to 6 pots with arrows, bombs, and hearts inside.

After the Bottle Man appears in the town square on the carpet you can see south of the house you just visited. His Bottle will be invaluable, so save up 100 Rupees and go to see him when that time comes.

Now go west and onto the upper ledge, then drop down into the well to find a Piece of Heart. Walk over to the right and exit—do NOT use the stairs, as this will put you on the wrong plane.

Bomb open the doorless hut in the bottom left corner to get a Piece of Heart and a red rupee. As in A Link to the Past the pots contain bomb/arrow refills.

After , spend 100 Rupees on Bottle #2.

Inside the shed near the cuccos is a man selling bombs, arrows, and a Red Potion, so buy something if you wish, or if you don't still have a Gold Potion from Week 1.

Go into the house with the old lady sweeping out front. Blow down the wall to get a chest containing a sweet 100 rupees!

Right about now the rain comes down to hamper your progress. It will extinguish any and all bombs, so don't even bother trying to blow open anything outside.

Worse than that, all overworld enemies are replaced with Zoras. To make it even worse, the Boomerang only hurts them instead of stunning them, and they have a lot more health than their A Link to the Past counterparts. So beware!

Go through the back door of the pub to get a Piece of Heart. Once you're done here, take the upper-right path out of the village. Ram the rock pile to the bottom left and go down the stairs for 4 fairies and 100 rupees. Go back out and ram the rock pile to the top right and enter the dungeon.

Dungeon 3

Items:Magic Hammer, Blue Mail

Go through the right-hand door first. Notice the chests and pots form a smiley face. :-) Anyway, the chests contain 20 rupees and a Map. Blow down the wall for two more 20-rupee chests.

Now go back to the previous room, hit the crystal, and go through the upper left door. Ram into the lamp to knock down theSmall Key. Use it to unlock the door. In the next room are conveyor belts and several of those jellyfish things. Head through the top-right door. Grab theSmall Key, hit the crystal and head through the bottom door. In the next room, head to the right. Hit the crystal and head back left. Open the chest for the
