This is a complete walkthrough of the entire Zelda 64 game this page took me forever to make so don't screw it up!

Kokiri Forest

The Kokiri people live deep in a leafy forest. These elfin creatures retain their childish appearence throughout thier lives and are known for the fairies that accompany them from birth to death. Because they can never leave the forest they call home, much of the outer world has never seen a Kokiri. It is here that your journey begins.

The great Deku Tree wants to see you, but first you should explore the village and see what help is available. If you've played any previous Zelda games, you have an idea of what's to come. The Great Deku Tree will introduce you to the vast series of dungeons and underground caves you'll spend much of your time in as you play through the game.

Before you go to the Deku Tree make sure you have a sword and a shield equipped because if you don't Mido, the leader of the Kokiri, wont let you pass!

The Forest Training Center and the Kokiri Sword

Left of your tree house is the forest training center. This obstacle course will teach you all of the attacks Link can produce at the start of the game. Read the signs and then practice the lessons that they teach.

Of course, you'll need a weapon first! Walk through the maze of fences to the mountain side. There's a small tunnel there called the Hole of 'Z'; a sign encourages you to enter. When the Action Icon on the top on the screen says "Enter", press the A button and Link will get down on his knees to crawl through the hole.

The tall labyrinth on the other end has lots of tips on how to get around Hyrule safely.  Put them to use to avoid being flattened by the giant boulder rolling around the aisles.  Because it runs around in a circular track, you can follow it safely to the little niche with a big treasure chest.  Open it and claim your reward!

The Kokiri Sword is just one of three you'll find on your journey.  This one is small and light-prefect for a young boy!  Equip it by pressing Start and switching to the Equipment Subscreen.  Move the cursor box to the sword and press the A button.  Link's portait on the screen should now show him wielding the sword.

Use the B Button to draw and swing your sword.  Areas in the Training Center will teach you the various thrusts and attack at your disposal, as well as the finer points of Z targeting.  Practice here until you fell comfortable or have destroyed all the signposts and bushes.

The Deku Shield and The Art Of Finding Rupees

Now that you have a sword, you must find a shiled before venturing off to the Deku Tree.  A visit to the Kokiri Shop tells you that a Deku Shield will cost you 40 Rupees.  That may sound like an awful lot of money to find, but it's actually easy.

Shop List:
Item                   Price
Arrows              10/20 Rupees
Arrows              30/60 Rupees
Deku Nuts         5/15 Rupees
Deku Nuts         10/30 Rupees
Deku Seed         30/30 Rupees
Deku Shield        40 Rupees
Deku Stick         10 Rupees
Recovery Heart  10 Rupees

Rupees come in a variety of colors, denoting their value.
Green = 1 Rupee
Blue = 5 Rupees
Red = 20 Rupees
Purple = 50 Rupees
Gold = 200 Rupees

You can find them in plots of long grass, streams, and just lying out in the open! Rupees often pop up when you cut down bushes and plants or smash rocks. Sometimes you'll even get them as a reward for doing certain tasks.


Here's a list of ways to find money you need to purchase the Deku Shield.

* Perform the variety of jumps and attackes the guy at the Forest Training Center requested, and you'll get a Blue and a Green Rupee!

* Look for a Blue Rupee and a Green Rupee in the area behind the Hole of 'Z'.

* Look next to the booth in the Kokiri Shop for a Blue Rupee.

* Look in and around Mido's House for three Blue Rupees and a Green one.

* Walk across the bridges at the top of Saria's House to find a Blue Rupee.

* Cut the grass and break some rocks.


Once you've bought your Deku Shield, equip it and head over to the pathway on the eastern side of the village. It's right next to the Shop, so you won't have to look far! There the smug Mido blocks the road to the Great Deku Tree. He checks to see if you have the appropriate items (shield and sword), and then waves you through.
It's time to help the Great Deku Tree. Are you ready?

NOTE
Most of the time you won't have to buy your own equipment and weapons. Items such as Deku Sticks, Deku Nuts, and Deku Seeds are found all over the Deku Tree and are free for the taking. Buy at shops only when you absolutely must!

Carnivorous plants called Deku Babas guard the path to the Great Deku Tree. They'll hurt you if you get too close, but the reward for cutting them down is great. Use the Z Trigger button to lock onto the target; then draw your sword and slice them in 2. A Deku Stick will pop out as a reward. You can use this item, but it's more commonly used as a torch. Equip it to one of your C buttons on the Select Item screen.

Deku Baba
This monster comes in two flavors - moving and stationary. The first ones you encounter on your way to the Great Deku Tree stand stiffly, counting on you to come to close and prick yourself. When you destroy them, they'll always yield a Deku Stick, so take that as a hint when you find this type of Deku Baba in a dungeon.
The chomping variety wave their heads about, hoping to take a bite out of you. When you slice them with your sword or stun them with a Deku Nut, they'll stand straight up, and if you kill them in the position they'll yield a Deku Stick. Kill them in any other way and you'll recieve a Deku Nut.

Because the Deku Baba are quick to regenerate, you can use them to practice your attack skills before you enter the Deku Tree. If you injuries get too severe, run back to Saria's house and pick up some of the Recovery Hearts from the floor. She won't mind.

The Great Deku Tree
The Great Deku Tree has been cursed. It's up to you to enter the tree and battle the forces of evil. This is the first dungeon you'll face, and it's a model of those to come. Inside you'll find monsters and treasure of different types. You can use some items, such as the Map, Compass, and Keys, only in the Dungeon you found them in; others will refill your coffers and upgrade your Weapons and Armor.

Objectives:
1. Find the Fairy Slingshot
2. Defeat Queen Gohma
