Termina Maps

Termina is a small world built around Clock Town. Termina Field sits at the centre and links to every other region, so most of your trips start or end there. The Owl Statues let you fly between points you have already reached, the four Clock Town districts hold most of the shops and side quests, and Tingle sells the regional maps that show each area’s paths. The sections below cover each of these, with the dungeon entrances at the end.

The regions of Termina

Termina Field is the hub you will cross most often. Its paths lead north to Mountain Village, east to Ikana Canyon, south to the Southern Swamp, west to the Great Bay Coast, and southwest to Milk Road and Romani Ranch. The table lists each region, what it holds and its main dungeon or key area.

Region by region: layout and landmarks

Each region below is described in the order you meet it, with the path through it, the Owl Statue and the places where people and secrets sit. The chapter for each region has the full steps.

Clock Town districts

Clock Town is split into four districts, each named after one of the four points of the compass, and a small area called the Laundry Pool. South Clock Town is the central hub because every other district connects to it, and it holds the Clock Tower. The town has gates on all four sides, and soldiers guard them. Most shops, games and quest characters sit in the East and West districts, so expect to spend time in both.

North Clock Town holds the Deku Scrub Playground, Tingle and his map sales, the bush where Keaton’s quiz begins, and the Great Fairy’s Fountain at its north end. Its gate leads to the mountains.

East Clock Town holds the Stock Pot Inn, the Town Shooting Gallery, the Honey and Darling game, the Treasure Chest Shop and the entrance to the Bombers’ hideout.

South Clock Town is the hub that connects the other three districts. The Clock Tower stands here, and the Owl Statue is just north of the tower.

West Clock Town is the business district. It holds the Bank, the Post Office, the Swordsman’s School, the Bomb Shop, and at night the dancing Rosa Sisters.

The Laundry Pool is a small area in the southwest corner of Clock Town, up a ramp from South Clock Town. Guru-Guru plays here, and the stray fairy for the Great Fairy’s Mask spends the day here.

Owl Statues

There are 10 regular Owl Statues in Termina. Each one lets you save your game, and once you have learned the Song of Soaring you can fly to any statue you have already reached. The table lists all ten in the order you are likely to meet them.

You turn a statue on by striking it with your sword. After that it works as a Song of Soaring destination and as a place to save and quit. An Owl Statue save is only a temporary quit-save: when you reload it you land where you left, but resetting the console wipes the cycle’s progress, so only the Song of Time makes a lasting save. Stone Tower Temple also has an extra statue inside, close to the boss door.

The Woodfall owl stands near the entrance to Woodfall. Kaepora Gaebora waits at the top of the Deku Palace shortcut and points you to the stone carved with the Song of Soaring, which is how you learn the song in the Nintendo 64 game.

The Snowhead owl stands at the start of the Snowhead region. It is the statue you reach first when you arrive, before the icy ledges that lead up to the temple.

Tingle’s maps

Tingle, the man in the green outfit, sells Termina’s regional maps. Each location sells two maps: one for the region it is in, and one for the next region on your route. Buying a map in the region it covers is the cheap option, 5 Rupees for Clock Town and 20 Rupees for every other region. Buying a map from a different region costs 40 Rupees.

North Clock Town: Tingle first appears here. He sells the Clock Town map for 5 Rupees and the Woodfall map for 40 Rupees.

Road to Southern Swamp: Tingle sells the Woodfall map for 20 Rupees and the Snowhead map for 40 Rupees.

Road to Goron Village: Tingle sells the Snowhead map for 20 Rupees and the Romani Ranch map for 40 Rupees.

Dungeon entrances

Each temple sits in its own region. The table gives the region for each dungeon and the chapter that covers it. Mini-dungeons and the Moon trials follow the temples.
