Included is a guide to the locations of all those elusive heart pieces, how to sell on each of the masks in the Happy Mask Shop, where to find each and every bed for planting your Magic Beans in, how to find all four bottles for keeping fairies, potions or various other goodies in, and finally how to find all of the 'Great Poes'!

====== Section 1 - HEART PIECES GUIDE ======

You start the game with a measly three heart containers. In order to expand this number, you must collect whole hearts (found by beating each of the eight bosses at the end of each dungeon) and also collect heart pieces, found strewn all over Hyrule. Four heart pieces give you a whole heart, and thus an extra heart container. Below are the locations of all 36 Heart Pieces, allowing you to obtain the maximum of 20 heart containers!

====== Section 2 - MASK SELLING GUIDE ======

The Mask Shop, in Hyrule Castle Market, allows you to take masks, then sell them on. Once you've sold them, you pay the Shop owner what the masks were worth. You might end up getting more or less than each mask is worth when you sell them, but it's worth it as you'll unlock something useful when you've completed this side-quest!

Mask 1 - Keaton Mask
When you first go to the shop, this is the only mask available. Sell it to the Guard in Kakariko Village, at the gate to Death Mountain.

Mask 2 - Skull Mask
Go to the Lost Woods, and take the first left. Wear the mask, and stamd on the stump opposite the Skull Kid, then play Saria's Song. The Skull Kid will offer to buy the mask. He won't pay you as much as it's worth, but you'll need to make the monetary sacrifice to further your quest.

Mask 3 - Spooky Mask
Head to the Graveyard in Kakariko Village during the day, and talk to the small kid while wearing the mask, and he'll buy it.

Mask 4 - Bunny Hood
Here's where you make your money! Go to Hyrule Field and find the running man. Follow him until he gets tired and then talk to him, and he'll buy the mask from you.

Now you're done! Visit the Mask Shop again, and the Shop owner will let you take out the Mask of Truth. It cannot be sold to anyone, but you can use it to read people's minds (just talk to them wearing the mask) and even find out what those Gossip Stones think (often revealing handy, if cryptic, hints)! You can also borrow the Zora, Goron and Gerudo Masks.



====== Section 3 - MAGIC BEANS GUIDE ======

You can buy Magic Beans off a guy in Zora's River, and plant them as a child. Water them, and the return as an Adult and they're magic plants that will move around when you hop onto them, taking you to out of reach areas! Note that the price of these magic beans increases the more you buy (as, rather bizarrely, they're becoming more and more popular based on your custom alone). There are ten Magic Beans to buy and plant, and here's where to plant them, and what you can do once you've gained access to the new area. (Areas you can plant Magic Beans are small patches of dirt/mud).

LOCATION: Death Mountain Crater
-- At the bottom of the crater is where you can plant this bean, and once it's grown, Adult Link can ride up to get a Piece of Heart!

LOCATION: Desert Colossus
-- Plant the Bean left of the Temple entrance, and return as an Adult to ride to a Heart Piece. You can also use it to reach a Gold Skulltula on the dunes, but you'll have to make sure it's at night.

LOCATION: Dodongo's Cavern
-- Just at the entrance to the cavern is where to do the planting as Child Link, and when the plant has grown, Adult Link can get a ride up Death Mountain and claim a Heart Piece on the way!

LOCATION: Gerudo Valley
-- Plant your Bean on the lowest ledge on the far side of the river. Return as an Adult and ride the plant to the Heart Piece on top of the waterfall.

LOCATION: Kakariko Graveyard
-- Near the row of graves on the left of the Graveyard is where you'll find the planting patch, and as Adult Link you can get a ride to a Heart Piece (hidden inside a crate).

LOCATION: Kokiri Forest
-- Next to the shop in Kokiri Forest, you can plant a Bean, and as an Adult it gives you access to a ledge with some Rupees on it.

LOCATION: Lake Hylia
-- Plant a Bean next to the Laboratory, and return as an Adult to ride to the top of the Lab for a Heart Piece.

LOCATION: Lost Woods
-- West from the single skull kid, you'll find a patch for planting a Bean. This one simply gives you a shortcut as Adult Link.
-- South-East of the Sacred Forest Meadow entrance, you'll find an area where you can plant your Bean. Return as an Adult at night and find a Gold Skulltula.

LOCATION: Zora's River
-- Right next to the Magic Bean Merchant is a patch to plant Beans in. As an Adult the plant will take you on a ride around Zora's River, ending at the entrance to the area. En Route you can jump off to a platoform with a Heart Piece on it.



====== Section 4 - BOTTLES GUIDE ======

Bottles are extremely useful in Zelda:OoT. They can be used to keep potions and fairies, useful for restoring health, but also other items you'll find useful (and in some cases essential) for your quest. These include water, magical fire, fish, bugs... Even ghosts! You can find four bottles throughout the game, and here's how to nab all of them!

BOTTLE 1:
As Child Link, go to Lon Lon Ranch. Go see Talon and complete his challenge to find his three Super Cuccos in under 30 seconds. Succeed and you'll be rewarded with a bottle of milk (you can use the milk to restore some health).

BOTTLE 2:
Go to Kakariko Village as Child Link and talk to the woman next to the chicken pen (near the Graveyard entrance). Find and return all seven of her chickens and she'll give you a bottle. To get all of them you'll need to explore Kakariko Village thoroughly, and to reach some you'll need to make use of the chickens to 'glide'. Simply hold one above your head and leap off a platform and the flapping chicken slows your descent. You'll also need to roll into a crate in order to break it open to find one of the chickens!

BOTTLE 3:
Once you have the Silver Scale from Zora's Domain, head to Lake Hylia to find a message in a bottle by the ruins on the lake's bed. When you take the message out, you can keep the bottle!

BOTTLE 4:
This final bottle is obtained by completing the Great Poe Hunting side-quest. See Section 5 for details.



====== Section 5 - Great Poes Guide ======

As an Adult, visit the Guard House in Hyrule Castle and talk to the guy inside. He collects Poes (ghosts) and will pay you if you defeat them and bring him their essence (caught in a bottle). If you bring him ten Great Poes, he will also give you a bottle for your troubles! Great Poes can only be found in Hyrule Field as Adult Link riding Epona. They will appear in certain areas, and circle you. They can be defeated by hitting them with your bow and arrow twice, and then you can capture their essence in a spare bottle. Below are the locations of all 10 Great Poes:

GREAT POE 1:
In front of the gate to Hyrule Castle, near the sign that points to Lon Lon Ranch.

GREAT POE 2:
Near the centre of Hyrule Field, by the tree next to the entrance to Lon Lon Ranch.

GREAT POE 3:
Near a large boulder South of the entrance to Kokiri Forest.

GREAT POE 4:
On the overhang by the lake that's next to Zora's Domain.

GREAT POE 5:
Near the corner of the brick wall on the East side of Lon Lon Ranch.

GREAT POE 6:
Near the tree next to the paths that lead to Gerudo Valley.

GREAT POE 7:
Just South-West of where the two paths to Gerudo Valley meet, close to the outer wall of Hyrule Field.

GREAT POE 8:
Near a green tree and a group of bushes in the bottom right of Hyrule Field.

GREAT POE 9:
At the bottom right of Hyrule Field, there's a 'grove' of brown trees with a boulder in the middle of them. This Poe can be found near a tree just South East of this grove.

GREAT POE 10:
Near a bush along the bank of the small river running out of the West side of Hyrule Castle.




This concludes the mini-guide to Zelda:OoT! This mini-guide is my own work.

Part 4 of the Zelda 64 WALKTHROUGH...

GANON'S CASTLE

Ganondorf is holding Zelda captive in the main tower in the
center of this room. However, the center tower is protected by a force field that is supplied by the six sources of power within the six barriers. One barrier for each medallion. So enter the main room and destroy the barriers one by one.

FOREST BARRIER

Stand in the center of the four torches and use Din's Fire to
light them. There's still another one above the door! Shoot a fire
arrow at that one and the door will unlock. Continue to the next room...

You'll need to collect all the silver rupees. First, equip the
hover boots and float in front of the left fan when its blowing at full speed. You should be pushed to the platform beside the Beamo. Oh, and destroy the Beamo with a bomb so he doesn't cause any trouble. Hit the switch to make a hookshot target above the door, allowing you to get the silver rupee. Get the others and enter the door.

This is the source of the forest barrier. It's the round object
that looks like a peach in the middle of the green flowing energy.
Shoot the peach thing with a light arrow to destroy it. Saria will appear and tell you to hurry up. You will be transported to the main room.

SPIRIT BARRIER

Collect the silver rupees. Watch out for all the moving spikes in
the room! For some of these you need to move the armos statue so that the spikes aren't moving back and forth between the wall and the statue. Use the longshot to reach the one in the center of the room on the ceiling. After collecting all silver rupees, enter the door.

First, kill the fire monsters here. Hit the diamond switch at the
other side of the gate by using a spin slash attack. A chest drops
down, bombchus inside it. Did you notice there is a hole at the top of the gate? Aim a bombchu so that it climbs up the gate, through the hole, down the other end, and explodes hitting the diamond switch. You might need to hit the torches on the sides of the switch since the bombchus don't explode upon contact with the switch. Continue to the next room.

Shoot the spider web on the ceiling using a fire arrow. Behold
the light! Use the mirror shield to reflect the light onto the
different sun faces. Only one of them is correct. Watch out because reflecting light on the wrong one causes a ceiling master to drop down. Enter the door.

Hey, it's the spirit barrier. Shoot with light arrow like you did
to the forest barrier. Nabooru appears and tells you to hurry up. You are transported to the main room.

SHADOW BARRIER

First, kill the green skull with the bow and arrow. Okay, now
look at the wall on the right for an unlit torch. To light this torch, take out your fire arrows and shoot it! When the light is on, some ice platforms will appear forming a path for you to get to the island with the Like Like! Be quick because the light goes out rather quickly. And be sure to carefully avoid the Like Like on the island (if he gets you, he'll spit you down into the deep beyond). When you reach the island with the Like Like, the torch will have already turned off the light. Turn around and light the torch again with a fire arrow. Continue on the path of platforms to reach a switch down under. Hit the switch and come back up. The switch made a big chest appear on the island with the Like Like! Get over to the chest and open it for the Golden Gauntlets! Now look around for a path that you can only see with the lens of truth. Follow on that
path the reach a switch. Hit the switch with the Megaton Hammer to open the exit. Use the longshot on the torch beside the exit to get there. Umm...yeah. Now exit through the exit.

Yay, it's the shadow barrier! Shoot it with the light arrow to destroy it. Impa appears and tells you to hurry up. Now you're
transported to the main room. Before you go and destroy the other barriers, it's a good idea to get the sixth great fairy. Exit the castle and go to the place where you got the power of Dins Fire. Use the Golden Gauntlets to get rid of the huge black pillar. Enter here and play Zelda's Lullaby on the triforce symbol to meet the great fairy. She gives you the power of
Double defense. Go back to the castle and continue.

LIGHT BARRIER

Do you know how to get here? It's behind the big black stone pillar. You need to have gotten the Golden Gauntlets from the Shadow Barrier. Just walk up to the pillar, press the A button, and throw the stone away (whoa... this is great with the rumble pak...).

In the first room, use the lens of truth to see all the invisible enemies. Kill all of them to make a small chest appear. Inside the chest is a small key. Don't open the other chests! Some of them contain ice and will freeze you upon being opened. Use the key to open the locked door and exit. Stand on the triforce symbol and play Zelda's Lullaby (this can't get any simpler). A small chest will fall down. Get the key from the chest and enter the locked door.

Collect all silver rupees in 1:00 minute. I'm pretty sure you can do this on your own. The silver rupees are so easy to find that having any difficulty in this room would be a crime! All of the rupees are done? Then go into the next room.

The light barrier... is missing! Then use the lens of truth to find that the back wall here is fake. Go through the wall to meet the REAL light barrier room. As usual, shoot it with a light arrow to destroy it. Rauru appears and tells you to hurry up. You are transported back to the main room.

FIRE BARRIER

First, put on your Goron Tunic to prevent getting burned by the hotness of the room. You'll have to collect all the silver rupees in the room. Go from platform to platform collecting all the easy silver rupees first (Do I really need to get detailed on this?). Go to the big black stone pillar and lift it up using the Golden Gauntlets (you must have gotten
it from the Shadow Barrier earlier). You'll throw the pillar behind you and it will form an island. Get the rupee that was under the pillar. Now go to the platform with a torch slug on it. Kill the slug and get the rupee on that platform. Then jump to the pillar that you threw and get the rupee on the platform. If you got all the silver rupees, longshot yourself to the exit.

In the next room is the Fire Barrier. Again, shoot the peach thing to destroy the barrier. Darunia appears and tells you to hurry up, brother! Now you're brought back to the main room.

WATER BARRIER

If front of you there is a blue flame surrounded by spiky ice things. Get rid of the ice and store all your bottles with blue fire. Now, open the chest on your LEFT. Don't open the right chest because there's freezing gas thing (?) inside. The left chest has a key! Use it to open the door...

This is another ice block puzzle like the one in the ice cavern. You only have two minutes to figure this one out. And two make things worse, there's TWO blocks for you to work with. Oh fudge. Remember, all directions refer to when you are entering the room. First go to the block farthest from you and push it to the ice rock on the left. Then, go behind the block and push it into the hole. Now go to the other block. Go to the left side and push it to the right. Now push it to the place with the blue fire. Yehey! Climb up the ice block and get the blue fire. Use it to melt the red ice. Push the switch to get rid of
the bars. And exit...

Here's the water barrier! Take out your light arrows and do that thing you do. Princess Ruto appears and tells you to hurry up (notice a pattern here...?). You are transported back to the main room.


When you're finished destroying all six barriers, the barrier around the central tower will go away. Now you can enter it... But first, make sure you have some kind of medicine that revives your magic, the final boss requires a lot of it.

Go up the stairs, and up, and up. It's pretty fine if you just ignore the Keese in each room, they don't give you anything good. On the way up, you'll encounter a pair of Dionolfos. Beat them and the door will unlock, allowing you to continue your stair climbing. Keep going and you'll find a pair of Stalfos. Beat them to receive the boss key. Continue and soon you'll have to fight two iron knuckles. Finish them and continue up the stairs to reach Ganondorf. "These toys are too much
for you. I command you to return them to me!". Navi goes away and you begin the fight. So see the boss section for juicy little details.

After the fight, Ganondorf will use his last ounce of strength to destroy the castle. Now you have 3:00 minutes to escape with
Princess Zelda. Follow her and she'll open every locked door for you. Along the way, Zelda will be trapped in fire and you'll have to fight two Stalfos to free her. Just go crazy with you Biggoron sword to kill them. Follow Zelda some more. At the bottom, you'll encounter a ReDead. He'll freeze you. Tap any button to continue out the exit.

You and Zelda will both watch as the castle collapses, rumbling in all it's glory. It's quite a nice effect. After the castle collapses into a perfectly flat arena, you will hear a noise from the rubble. Check it out. As you get close, the seemingly immortal Gannondorf will arise and use the triforce of power to transform into the final boss: GANON. For the last time, visit the boss section for the final details on beating the final boss.

Woohoo! You beat the game! Sit back and relax as you watch the beautiful seven minute ending.
