Ocarina Songs

You can learn thirteen different songs for your Ocarina. Each has its own special magic powers or abilities and will help you in some way along your quest. Try to memorize these songs so that you won't have to refer back to them all the time on the Quest Status sub-screen.

Zelda's Lullaby - The first song you learn, Impa will teach this to you in the Castle Courtyard. When played, it will open doorways, reveal secrets, and fix broken signs.

Epona's Song - This song is used to call Epona the horse to you. At Lon Lon Ranch, Malon will teach this to you if you decide to play along with her singing on your Ocarina.

Saria's Song - Find Saria in the Sacred Forest Meadow and she will teach this to you. This song is mainly used to talk with Saria over long distances but is also somewhat used to progress in the game.

It will also uncover various hidden holes and reveal other secrets as well. Also, if you play near the dry hole at the Desert Colossus, it will create an oasis with the resulting storm.

Scarecrow's Song - This is a song you make up for yourself. Play this for the Scarecrow at Lake Hylia and he will memorize it for you. Play it back to him as an adult and you can now summon his buddy Pierre to show up wherever his designated spots are. You can Hookshot onto Pierre to pull yourself to many different secrets. Also, play a song for Pierre as a kid at Lake Hylia and he will memorize it. Now, when you watch the game credits all the way through, and it says The End on the screen, wait a few seconds and you will hear the song you played for Pierre.

Master Sword

Pull this sword out of the Pedestal of Time as a kid and use it as an adult. It's your way of travelling between being young Link and adult Link.

Giant's Knife

Buy this huge, breakable sword from Medigoron's shop in Goron city. The blade will break if you swing it against something about three times. You can still use the broken tip but it's about as powerful as the Kokiri sword.

Just like the Giant's Knife only that it doesn't break. Get this extremely powerful sword from Biggoron on top of Death Mountain.

Deku Shield

A wooden shield used to fend off all attacks except energy blasts and fire. It burns away easily so don't let fire touch it or you'll have to find or buy a new one.

Hylian Shield

A powerful shield used by the Hylian soldiers. When used as a kid, you can only wear it on your back and fend off blows from above but as an adult, you use it just like kid Link uses the Deku Shield. It's a good shield except for the fact that it can be eaten by one of the Like Like monsters you'll find in the dungeons. Find this accessory in the Graveyard or buy it at the Hyrule Castle Market.

Mirror Shield

This is probably the best shield to use because unlike the Hylian Shield, it can reflect Light off it's silver surface. It also can't be eaten by a Like Like, but it does have it's downside. It can't be used for deflecting Deku nuts back at the Scrub brothers but this shouldn't really be that big of a deal. You'll find this necessary item in the Spirit Temple as an adult.

Kokiri Tunic

Link's Kokirish garb from living among the forest children. Unlike the other Tunics he'll receive, this one can't be eaten by a Like Like (because if it was, what else would he have to wear?)

Goron's Tunic

Iron Boots

If you wear these boots, you'll sink to the bottom of the water. Don't try to walk on land in these unless you need them as an anchor to keep from being blown away by intense wind. Find these boots inside the Ice Cavern.

Hover Boots

These boots will allow you to walk on air for a limited amount of time. It'll also allow you to walk on top of sand that you would normally sink in. Walking on water works too but for only short distances just like you would in the air. Find these boots in the Shadow Temple.

Light Arrows - Given to you by Princess Zelda in the Temple of Time after you've beaten the five Temples. These brightly shining arrows will dispel the six evil barriers in Ganon's castle and stun Ganon in your final bouts with him.

A handle connected to an extending chain with a hook on the end of it. Use it to grapple onto nearby objects and reel yourself in, or use it to stun or kill certain enemies.

Magic Bottles

There are four magic bottles that you can get. These will hold many various things for you to use later. To get all four bottles you must:

2. Find all seven Cuckoos for the chicken lady at Kakariko village

3. Dive to the bottom of Lake Hylia to find the message from Princess Ruto in the bottle

4. Sell all ten big Poes from Hyrule field to the Poe Shop owner.

Here are some things you can put into Magic Bottles.

Lon Lon Milk - Revitalizes five hearts when you drink it. An easy way to get some is to find a cow somewhere and play Epona's Song for it. You can also get a cow put in your own house if you beat the record time of 50 seconds on the Lon Lon obstacle course. (Try to beat the time of 46 seconds. That's my best time. You'll find it's not very easy.)

Fairies - Almost fully revitalize your life if you go ahead and use one, but if one's in your bottle when you lose all your hearts, a fairy will be released and will completely refill all your heart containers.

Red Potion - When you drink this, it completely restores all of your hearts.

Green Potion - When you drink this, it completely restores your magic meter.

Ultimate Potion - When you drink this, it completely restores your magic meter and your lost hearts. You can only buy this from the old woman in the Potion shop in Kakariko village.

Poes - Drink these evil spirits to regain a few lost hearts, or sell them for 10 rupees to the Poe Shop in Hyrule Castle Market as an adult.

Big Poes - Only thing you can do with these is to sell them to the Poe Shop for 50 rupees each.

Fish - Offer a fish to Lord Jabu-Jabu to get inside his belly. You can also sell one to the guy who's always begging you to sell something to him with C.

Blue Fire - This cool, blue flame will melt Red Ice.

Bugs - Dump these guys out on the soft mounds of dirt to receive a Skulltula. Don't forget to recapture one bug in a bottle before it burrows into the dirt. One bug will create two more to go along with it in the bottle.

Event Items

Throughout the game you find certain items which you will most likely not keep throughout the whole game. They are to help you proceed to certain areas, or maybe just to get special items depending on which event items you are dealing with.

Keaton Mask - Get this from the Happy Mask Shop and sell it to the guard who you show Zelda's letter to.

Skull Mask - A scary mask which is good for two things. The first is to display on the Forest Stage in the Lost Woods to receive a Deku Sticks upgrade. The second is to sell to the skullkid who you play Saria's Song for to receive a piece of heart. You'll be disappointed though because he won't buy the mask for the bull price.

Spooky Mask - Sell this mask which makes you look like a Redead to the kid in the graveyard.

Bunny Hood - Sell this cut mask to the Wandering Running man in Hyrule Field after you've beaten Barinade in Jabu-Jabu's belly. He'll pay you 500 rupees for this 50 rupee mask.

Mask of Truth - After selling all the masks that the guy in the Happy Mask shop gives to you, he'll give you this mask which will enable you the power to talk to the strange, stone obelisks.

Din's Fire

Receive this engulfing flame spell from the Great Fairy near Hyrule Castle. This magic spell will light torches, burn enemies, and melt ice. This spell uses 6 MP.

Farore's Wind

Receive this useful spell from the Great Fairy at Zora's Fountain. When you cast this spell in dungeons, it will create a warp point in a room which you can choose to return to or dispel from any other part of the dungeon. This spell uses 6 MP.

Nayru's Love

Receive this defensive spell from the Great Fairy in the sealed cave near the Desert Colossus. This magic spell will create a protective barrier around you so that if you're hit then you lose no hearts. This spell uses a whopping 12 MP.

DUNGEON ITEMS

These items will help you find your way and progress within the many dungeons in Hyrule.

Dungeon Map

You'll always find this in a big treasure chest. It displays the layout of the dungeon on the Map Subscreen. If you're lost or if you're looking for a specific place, this is the item you'll have to refer to.

Compass

This little novelty shows where treasure chests are located on the map and where the boss is. You'll always find this in a big treasure chest. The function of the compass has come a long way since the original "Legend of Zelda".

Boss Key

Find this necessary item in the fancily decorated big treasure chest. This is the only key that will open the door to the Boss's room.

Small Keys

These things are hidden all over the dungeons and they will be your only means of progressing through locked doors.

Oh, yes. I almost forgot an item. It doesn't really fall under any category so it gets its own little section. Here it is.

The Sinking Lure

Although the sign at the fishing pond say that there are no sinking lures allowed, you can find and use one anyway. The lure is not always in the same place all the time so you'll have to look for it real hard. When you obtain it, you can either choose whether you want to use it or not. If you use it, you'll find that it attracts more fish than before and it will sink to the bottom in attempt to lure bigger fish. If you do happen to catch a fish with the sinking lure, the pond owner will catch you in the act of breaking the pond rules and won't give you a prize. It's fun but useless if you really want to be able to earn things on this game.

Whew! That was hard work but it was worth it. Well, that's the end of my extensive explanation of the items in the Ocarina of Time.
