Inside is the mythical Master Sword. Go and take the Master Sword from the pedestal with {{N64|A}}.

You will be teleported back to the Temple of Time. Navi will soon notice a disadvantage to growing up: You've outgrown some of your equipment you could use as a child and can't use it anymore. However, before leaving the temple, you'll find another person has appeared like magic, and wishes to talk...

Make sure you return to the Temple of Time and talk to Sheik again after awhile. She will soon show you the '''Prelude of Light''', to teleport you to the Temple of Time later on in your quest. Right now, though, you have great changes in the world to deal with ahead of you. A lot happens in seven years time in Hyrule!

When you leave the Temple, you will see that Hyrule Town has been burnt to the ground and it is full of ReDeads. Play the Sun's Song to paralyze them and leave to Hyrule Field, and then head to Lon Lon Ranch. As you approach it, you will notice a gloomy cloud hovering above.  

Enter Lon Lon Ranch during the day. If it is night time, before entering the ranch play the Sun Song. When you enter Lon Lon Ranch, who should you find in charge but Ingo. He tells you that he overthrew the Ranch after Ganondorf got in power and he kicked Talon out of the ranch. Poor Malon is still at the ranch, but more or less being used as a hired hand- an overworked one to boot. You can't let this greedy punk get away with this! You need to outsmart him at his own game!

First off, Ingo likes to make profit off showboating the ranch's prized horses. He'll let you in the corral to ride the horses for ten Rupees. After you pay him you have one minute to ride whatever horse you dare to find. Ingo will tell you the basics to riding a horse upon request. Take a look around the ranch for any horse you like. However, one of those horses... has a fair white mane! It's Epona! Play '''Epona's Song''' to get her to come to you with gusto. When she does, mount her, then ride Epona around for a while to catch Ingo's attention. When time runs out pay 10 rupees to come in again. Before time runs out, ride over to him and speak to him. Ingo has taken a liking to your skills and he will challenge you to a race. One lap around the ranch, and the winner take all.

Impressive work, hero! You've got '''Epona''' at your beck and call from here on out! Whenever you want, just play ''Epona's Song'' and she'll come to you ready to gallop. Epona may only be used in Hyrule Field, Lake Hylia, Lon Lon Ranch, Gerudo Valley and Gerudo's Fortress.

Move the joystick in the direction that you want to go. Press the {{control|{{N64|A}}|{{gc|A}}|{{wii-cc|A}}}} button to feed Epona for a burst of speed.

Head to Kakariko Village and enter the Graveyard. Sadly, old Dampe is now dead as a doornail, and the Graveyard is overrun by devious Poes. If you read his diary, he mentions a strange gadget he buried a while back. That secret was apparently taken with him to his grave. Hey, wait... if it's taken to his grave, why not pay a visit... on second thought, is it really a good idea to disturb the man's tombstone? There's not much other choice.

Go to the left-hand side of the graves, up past the stairs where a patch of soil stands out. You'll notice one gravestone has flowers decorating the sides. Pull back the gravestone all the way backward, minding the massive Poe infestation! A hole will appear- jump down it to meet Dampe's Ghost, who will challenge you to a race. You don't have to win it, just to follow him to the end of his treacherous path. Be careful; Dampe drops flames from his burning lantern as he moves along. If you can't keep up, a door may shut at a place Dampe went through, sending you back to the start of the race with one heart of damage done to your health, and should you explore the wrong area of the tombs, you will indeed bump into Re-Dead, but only if you stray from the path- the sounds of moaning should be a strident warning not to go down certain corridors. If you reach the end of the grave, Dampe will commend you for finishing and tell you to come back sometime for another race. When he leaves, he'll tell you be careful on your way out, just to make sure you get out safely. After he departs, he makes a treasure chest appear before you. Open the chest that appears to obtain the {{im/oot|Items|Hookshot}}. It's a tool that extends from a short chain to reach things, pulling you to them, or pulling them to you. In a bind, it can act as a makeshift weapon, spearing monsters with the harpoon-shaped tip at the end of its metal chain. This fancy contraption is what Sheik was alluding to!

After Dampé leaves, go into the room nearby; you'll be locked in, with a big stone blocking your way forward - you're boxed in! Fortunately, Navi comments that the carving on the block is the same design found on the Door of Time. That's a good clue - play the Song of Time and the block will disappear! Now run down the tunnel out of the grave, and you'll come out on a ledge in the windmill. Before precipitously jumping down, make sure you get the Heart Piece located on the right upper ledge (see sidebar). Afterwards, jump down and talk to Guru-Guru the organ-grinder - he'll whine about a certain boy he met seven years ago. When he finishes complaining, pull out your ocarina and he'll teach you the '''Song of Storms''', a melody that creates a storm where you play it. Nearby secrets are revealed by it if you know where they are, but not all secrets appear this way - make sure you have the Stone of Agony for secret hunting!

'''Note''': Remember the "Song of Storms" far later in your quest. You will need it for the "Bottom of the Well" dungeon and many side quests that requires that song to make it work.

As you head for the forest, Hyrule Field is now rid of Peahats and Stalchildren, but you must watch out for Angry Poes. These Poes are more skilled and will use their lanterns to drop flames, so watch out if one attacks. You'll soon find that Hyrule is truly a land of monsters now...

Special note: If you're keen more on preparations than just following the guide, you can also get the red and blue tunics, more warp music, go through the Ice Cavern with the hookshot and getting Epona across the broken bridge to save the carpenters after you acquire the Biggoron Sword. You shouldn't worry too much if you prefer to do those first before entering Forest Temple. Lastly, you're going to need the Scarecrow's Song in Lake Hylia to make hookshotting a lot easier.
