Here’s where to find these crucial items:
Starting Area Forest Cave (Requires Candle):
Location: In the expansive forest region directly south of North Castle (where you begin the game). Look for a cave entrance within this wooded area on the overworld map.
Requirement: You must possess the Candle (obtained in Parapa Palace, the first palace) to illuminate and enter this dark cave. Navigate through the cave’s interior to find the Magic Container at its end.
Midoro Swamp Cave (Requires Candle):
Location: Travel southeast from Parapa Palace into the large Midoro Swamp region (where the second palace is located). Find the cave entrance situated within this swamp on the overworld map.
Requirement: The Candle is needed to light up this cave. Explore its passages to locate the Magic Container hidden inside. (Note: The cave near the Hammer exit on Death Mountain contains a Heart Container, not a Magic Container).
Maze Island Path Intersection:
Location: On Maze Island itself (the island in the southeast sea containing Palace 5), follow the winding overworld paths. You will eventually reach a distinct intersection shaped like a plus sign (+).
Requirement: From this specific intersection, take the path leading directly north. Follow this northern path to its dead end. Step onto the final overworld tile of this path to receive the Magic Container.
Hidden Kasuto Town – Wise Woman’s House (Requires Flute):
Location: In the desolate mountainous region of far Eastern Hyrule, you must first use the Flute item to reveal the Hidden Town of Kasuto. Once the town is visible, enter the house located on the far west side of the town.
Requirement: Speak to the old woman residing inside this house. After talking with her, she will grant you access (often by moving aside or revealing a path) to the house’s basement or back room, where the final Magic Container awaits.
