On the road of Zora’s river, you will encounter a large merchant who is selling his secret Magic Beans. He will start out with 10 rupees, and with each one you purchase, the price of the next one will increase another 10 rupees.
Throughout your journey, you will encounter soft patches of soil, in them you can release bugs to dig out rupees or skulltulas, or, for their primary use, you can plant Magic Beans.
What are the purpose of magic beans you ask? Well, as you plant them as a child, they will grow into a full plant after your seven year slumber. The plants are able to hover over the ground, taking you to places where you can recover items like Heart Pieces or Rupees.
In all of the beds, if you play the Song of Swords after planting a seed, 2 fairies will be revealed.
Table of Contents
Hole 1: Kokiri Shop
Behind the Kokiri Shop, there is this bed of soft soil. Put a bug in it to reveal a Gold Skulltula.
Hole 2: Lost Woods I
Follow the tunnels west and south, past the field with the single Skull Kid, and you’ll find the next beanbed. The leaf that grows here takes Link from one side of the area to the other, providing a shortcut to the bridge to Hyrule Field. It’s great for cutting seconds off a forest mushroom run for Granny in Kakariko Village.
Hole 3: Lost Woods II
In the field southwest of the entrance to the Sacred Forest Meadow, you’ll find a bean bed guarded by two enterprising Business Scrubs. As an adult, Link can take this leaf on a nighttime journey to the ledge above, where he’ll find a cleverly hidden Gold Skulltula.
Hole 4: Kakariko Graveyard
Next to the leftmost row of graves, a bean bed lies below a suspicious ledge. As an adult, Link can use the leaf platform to reach the ledge, which holds a Piece of Heart in a wooden crate.
Hole 5: Dodongo’s Cavern
Blast the boulder blocking the entrance to this dungeon and you’ll find a bean bed just inside the entrance. The leaf that grows there will take Link almost to the top of Death Mountain. On the way he can nab the Piece of Heart in the niche above the cave entrance.
Hole 6: Zora’s River
You’ll find this Dirt Patch right next to the Magic Bean seller. Adult Link will find a leaf that will take him to the bridge near the entrance to Zora’s Domain. He can also use this leaf to grab the Piece of Heart on the plat¬ form in the middle area of the river.
Hole 7: Lake Hylia
This dirt patch lies to the side of the Lakeside Laboratory. The leaf that grows there will take the adult Link to the roof of the Lakeside Laboratory, where a ladder leads to a Piece of Heart platform!
Hole 8: Death Mountain Crater
Try returning to Death Mountain Crater once you learn the “Bolero of Fire” to find this Dirt Patch. Although the child Link will find the heat unbear-able, he can easily reach this bean bed, located right off the Warp Symbol, and plant his Magic Bean before time runs out. The leaf that grows in the hot, sulfurous air there will take adult Link to the top of the cones, where he can jump off and grab the Piece of Heart that hovers nearby.
Hole 9: Gerudo Valley
With the help of the cucco roaming around the bridge, Link can easily float to the ledges lining the roaring river below. On the lowest ledge at the far side, he’ll find a Gerudo maiden and her cow standing near a Dirt Patch. The leaf that grows there provides adult Link with a quick and relatively dry way to reach the Piece of Heart behind the waterfall.
Hole 10: Desert Colossus
When Link returns here as a child to get the Silver Gauntlets, he can’t help but notice this final beanbed, left of the temple entrance. This leaf will take adult Link on a tour of the desert, including important location* such as the top of the stone arch (where there’s a Piece of Heart) and the tall dunes (where he’ll find a Gold Skulltula at night).
