After Spirit’s Grave you tidy up the present-day graveyard, have your two rings named, and then follow the Maku Tree’s hint toward the Western Woods. The woods are blocked by a hide-and-seek game, and the cave you want collapses, so the real prize is Nayru’s House, where you find the Harp of Ages and learn the Tune of Echoes. Play it at a Time Portal and you can finally travel back to Lynna Village 400 years ago.

Yoll Graveyard after Spirit’s Grave (the present)

Maple and her scattered items

Walk out of the dungeon grounds into the graveyard and a witch on a broom, Maple, will crash into you. Her bag spills and rupees and hearts bounce across the screen. Grab as many as you can before she flies off. Maple shows up at random in both eras and can drop a Piece of Heart, so it is worth meeting her often (see Maple).

Poe Clock from the graveyard ghost

With the Power Bracelet you can now help a restless ghost by one of the purple headstones. Talk to him, then use the Power Bracelet to lift the stone beside the headstones and push the headstone that blocks his tomb. Climb down into the small burial chamber below, step onto the golden tile, then take the stairs back up.

Talk to the ghost again outside. He no longer needs his clock and hands you the Poe Clock, the first item of the trading sequence. You will trade it away in Lynna Village later in this chapter.

Graveyard Secret (Linked Game)

In a Linked Game, walk to the pond in the north-west part of the graveyard, near Syrup’s hut, and talk to the second ghost, a Ghini. Answer Yes to both of his questions and he tells you the Graveyard Secret. It is meant for the one flowerless grave in the Holodrum graveyard. Secrets differ for every save file, so write down the one you receive.

Piece of Heart 3

Go one screen south in the south-west part of the graveyard, where a heart floats in an alcove sealed by a stone block. Use the Power Bracelet to lift the stone, step in and take the Piece of Heart. This is your third of twelve and you now have three of the four needed for a new Heart Container (see Heart Piece locations). Leave the graveyard by the entrance and head for Lynna City.

Lynna City: Vasu, the Maku Tree and Farore (the present)

Appraise your rings at Vasu’s

Enter the jewel shop in Lynna City. Choose Appraise and hand over the two rings from Spirit’s Grave, one at a time. Each appraisal costs 20 Rupees, so you need 40 in total. The first is the Power Ring L-1, which raises the damage of your sword but makes you take more damage. The second is the Discovery Ring, which senses soft soil nearby.

Your L-1 Ring Box holds only one ring at a time, so choose with the item menu. Wear the Discovery Ring while you roam to find soil patches for your Gasha Seeds, and swap to the Power Ring L-1 for a tough fight. More details are in Magical Rings.

The Maku Tree’s request

Walk to the Maku Tree. She tells you that an Essence of Time echoes in the Western Woods, asks you to go and check it, and reminds you to come back to her afterward.

Farore’s Hall of Secrets (Linked Game)

Before leaving, go into Farore’s Hall of Secrets at the Maku Tree. In a Linked Game, switch to Seasons now: dig behind the flowerless grave in the Holodrum graveyard, pass the Ghini’s test of red and blue ghosts three times (it gives a Heart Container in your Seasons file, not this one), and take the new secret he gives you back to Labrynna.

Tell Farore that secret and she says your secrets have called forth new power. A chest rises in the middle of the room and holds the reward for that secret, which differs for every save file. Without a linked Seasons file you cannot get this one; leave the Hall and move on.

Houses of Lynna City

Walk through town and look at the houses by the stream. One is the Know-It-All Birds’ Hut, where the colourful birds give hints, and another belongs to Mamamu Yan, who talks about her dog. She matters later, both in the trading sequence and for a Seasons secret (see Characters).

Fairies’ Woods: the hide-and-seek game (the present)

Find the three fairies

Cross the bridge at the edge of town and follow the path into the woods. Three small forest fairies are playing hide and seek and have enchanted the woods so that the screens keep repeating. Each fairy stays near its own hiding spot and you only see them when you reach the right screen.

One hides near a rock, one beside a small pond, and the third by a chest near the sea. Keep walking back and forth between neighbouring screens until each hiding place appears, then talk to every fairy. Strike down any monsters along the way and pick up the rupees and hearts they drop. Once all three have been found, they say they will play again sometime and the spell is lifted.

In a Linked Game you can return later with the Fairy Secret from Holodrum and tell it to the blue fairy for a Heart Container.

The collapsing Ancient Cave

Now that the woods are open, find the cave marked by a sign that reads Ancient Cave and use the Power Bracelet to lift the rock at the entrance. The stone that held up the cave gives way, and the cave collapses before you can enter. The Maku Tree tells you that something at Nayru’s House might help.

Nayru’s House: Harp of Ages and Tune of Echoes (the present)

Find the hidden room

Go back toward Lynna City and visit Nayru’s House. Impa is inside and tells you she has felt drafts, as if there were a hidden room. Push the statue aside to open a staircase and walk down.

Take the Harp of Ages

In the cellar, step up to the glowing item to take the Harp of Ages. Nayru’s voice greets you, tells you that she hid the harp here for the chosen hero, and teaches you the Tune of Echoes. With it you can bring a dormant Time Portal back to life (see the Harp of Ages).

Climb out of the house; Impa tells you to hurry. Equip the Harp of Ages on A or B so you can play it at a Time Portal.

Travel to the past

Walk to the Time Portal near the house, stand in front of it and play the Tune of Echoes. A dark red warp carries you to Lynna Village in the past, where you arrive on the portal pad. This is your first Time Portal trip, and you can step into the same portal to come back (see Time Portals).

Lynna Village: trades and the ball game (the past)

Poe Clock for Stationery

Walk from the portal to the post office and show the postman the Poe Clock. He is delighted, takes it and hands you Stationery, the second item of the trading sequence.

Gasha Nut and soft soil

Leave the post office, cross the stream by the bridge and walk to the outhouse, where purple fence posts stand beside a tree. This is the tree you planted from the man’s Gasha Seed. Slash the tree and a Gasha Nut drops; it holds an unappraised ring. Take it to Vasu the next time you are in Lynna City.

The tree vanishes and soft soil remains, with an option to plant a Gasha Seed at once. You can plant another Gasha Seed here if you have one, and the next tree gives another nut. You can also leave the soil empty for now (see Gasha Seeds).

Stationery for the Stink Bag

Go to the outhouse by the soil. The man inside is shouting for paper, so give him the Stationery. He takes it happily and trades you the Stink Bag, the third item of the trading sequence. Keep it, because you need it for the cook on Crescent Island later.

The ball game

Next, go to the small gallery house on the main street and talk to the attendant. Each try costs 10 Rupees and gives you ten pitches. Swing your sword to bat the balls back at the targets: Fairies are worth 100, Blue ones 30, Red ones cost 10 and misses cost 50. A score of 250 to 349 pays a Gasha Seed, 350 or more a Magic Ring, and 150 to 249 gives 30 Rupees (see Minigames).
