Pegasus Boots and Zora’s Flippers Walkthrough

Make your way to the Blacksmith’s house. The Blacksmith’s Wife is calling for Gulley and fears he is lost in the woods nearby. Go through the bushes to the flowery clearing of the Haunted Grove, where a tree stump holds a bag. The bag is the Pouch. It adds a second item slot on the X button, so you can carry two tools at once.

While you are near the Blacksmith’s house, merge into its west wall, slide to the back and step out facing north. Heart Piece #3 sits on the small ledge past the trees there. Only the Bracelet is needed.

Heart Piece #1 lies in the cave under the well at the north-west corner of Kakariko. Pick up a Cucco, carry it to the ledge beside the well and jump so it glides you into the hole. Once you own the Power Glove you can lift the small rocks above the well and drop down instead. Defeat the enemies in the cave and take the Heart Piece.

Heart Piece #2 is the reward for the Cucco Ranch, south of Kakariko. Pay the Cucco Girl and herd the loose Cuccos into the pen before the timer runs out. The Egg level costs 20 Rupees, the Chick level costs 30 Rupees and pays 60 Rupees, and the Rooster level costs 50 Rupees. Finish the Rooster level and she adds a Heart Piece to the 150 Rupee prize. You can return later for the endless level.

As you travel around Hyrule after the Eastern Palace, a junior witch named Irene swoops down on her broom. She explains that her fortune told her to look after the green one, and she gives you the Bell. Outside dungeons, ring it and Irene flies you to any Weather Vane you have already activated. Save at each Weather Vane you pass so it is available.

Rosso, a miner, lives in the Miner’s House west of Death Mountain, with rocks scattered all around it. After the Eastern Palace, talk to him and he gives you the Power Glove. It lifts small rocks and throws them. Lift the rocks around his house to uncover a chest holding a Purple Rupee worth 50 Rupees. Large boulders still need the Titan’s Mitt, which you find much later.

The Lost Woods lie just north of Kakariko and next to Rosso’s house. Walk to the broken log that lies across the clearing. Merge into the wall below the log and slide through the narrow gap. Heart Piece #5 sits just beyond it. Come back with the Power Glove and Pegasus Boots for the Maiamai hidden in the woods.

Return to the Graveyard and take the secret passage under the Sanctuary again. In the second room, where rats scurry about, climb to the high ledge in the north-east corner, merging into the wall to get around. Heart Piece #4 waits there. The passage stays open, so you can walk in whenever you like.

Follow the road along the east side of Hyrule Castle. Heart Piece #6 is surrounded by small rocks. Pick up each rock with the Power Glove and take the piece. Soldiers patrol the area, so deal with them first.

The Witch’s House stands near the way to Zora’s Domain. Save at the Weather Vane beside it to add the Witch’s House stop to the Bell destinations. Inside, the Witch sells a Red Potion for 50 Rupees if you carry an empty Bottle, and she buys monster parts you collect.

The Shady Guy is loitering in Kakariko Village. Merge into the wall beside him, slide behind his back and step out. Startled, he apologizes for taking the stone and hands over the Pegasus Boots. Hold L to dash. Dash into trees to shake things loose and into rocks to break them.

Speak to the Street Merchant. He is offering the Smooth Gem; buy it for 200 Rupees. If you are short, sell bees to the Bee Guy or replay the Cucco Ranch until you have the money.

Take the gem back to Zora’s Domain and throw it into Oren’s pool. The queen returns to normal, thanks you and gives you Zora’s Flippers. Press A to dive and B to swim faster. You can now swim across the rivers and lakes of Hyrule, though the Zoras living there are territorial.

Follow the river north-east of the Witch’s House to a waterfall and enter the cave behind it. Heart Piece #7 waits inside.

The Bird Lover lives in a tent under the bridge just east of Link’s House, and you need Zora’s Flippers to reach him. Talk with him and he gives you a free empty Bottle. This is Bottle #2; fill it with a bee, a fairy or milk later.

Mother Maiamai lives in a cave at Lake Hylia that is blocked off by a wall with a sign reading “Do Not Blow Up Wall”. Bomb the wall with a rented Bomb. Mother Maiamai asks you to find her 100 lost children and gives you the Maiamai Map. Every ten you return, she upgrades an item you own, not rent, so buy something from Ravio after the three Pendants.

Rupee Rush is on the field south of Kakariko. Pay the Gal 50 Rupees, collect as many Rupees as you can in 30 seconds and talk to her again before time runs out, or you score nothing. Collect at least 100 Rupees for Heart Piece #8.

Talk to the Racing Bro north-east of Lake Hylia and pay 20 Rupees to race to the second Racing Bro behind Rosso’s house with the Pegasus Boots. Finish the first race in 75 seconds for 100 Rupees, then the second in 65 seconds for Heart Piece #9. Ringing the Bell to skip ahead disqualifies you.

Rent Bombs, then bomb the wall between the two big statues near the cliff south of Link’s House and follow the cave to Heart Piece #12. A pool in the cave’s north-east corner hides a Maiamai.

South of the Eastern Palace, bomb the cracked wall, enter the cave, merge and slide to Heart Piece #10. Then walk to the grassy field in the south-east corner and pound the stakes around Heart Piece #11 with the rented Hammer.
