| Covers | Cleanup after Snake’s Remains: the autumn field and Woods of Winter near the dungeon, the Eastern Suburbs cave, Horon Village with Vasu’s Jewelers and Farore’s Hall of Secrets, and the field north of Impa’s house where Princess Zelda is held. Winter is the season you need most of the time. |
|---|---|
| Dungeon | None. The previous chapter ends with the Essence of Gift of Time, and the next one starts the road to Spool Swamp. |
| Rewards | Pieces of Heart 2, 3 and 4 of 12 (the fourth gives your first extra Heart Container), a Heart Container from Farore’s second secret, a Gasha Nut with a full heart refill, 20 Rupees from a chest, the L-3 Ring Box, six rings appraised (Discovery, Like Like, Cursed, Quicksand, Roc’s and Blue Joy), one Gasha Seed planted. Linked-game steps: Holly’s secret, Farore’s two passwords, Zelda’s rescue. |
With the second Essence in your hands you have a long list of side jobs that the new Power Bracelet and the winter power make easy. You steal a Piece of Heart from Maple, lift a rock for a second one at a pond in the Woods of Winter, and open a cave under the windmill for the third, which completes a Heart Container. Vasu names your four rings, Farore turns two Labrynna passwords into a bigger Ring Box and another Heart Container, and you finish by saving Princess Zelda from the Great Moblin’s soldiers.

Maple’s Piece of Heart outside Snake’s Remains
Bump into Maple on the autumn field
Step out of the dungeon and walk onto the autumn field beside the pond. If you have beaten about thirty enemies since the last meeting, Maple the witch’s apprentice zooms in on her broom and crashes into you on a screen change. Her bag empties across the grass: Rupees, Bombs, a Magic Potion and Recovery Hearts among the loot. A Piece of Heart sits with them, so run to it before she grabs it back and take it. This is Piece of Heart 2 of 12, and the potion and the Rupees are yours too if you are quick. Maple always flies off angry, and you will see her again whenever your kill count reaches the next multiple of thirty.
Holly’s house and the Symmetry Secret (linked game)
Turn the nearby stump to winter
Walk up to the tree stump that stands near the cliff steps west of the dungeon mouth and switch the season to winter with the Rod of Seasons. Snow fills the screen and a drift builds up beside the stairs, the same drift you used to reach the chimney of Holly’s house earlier.
Take the secret from the woman beside the door
Climb the steps, cross the snowbank and drop down the chimney into Holly’s house. Talk to the woman closest to the door. She says a book was written very long ago by authors she adores, and asks you to carry a message to them. Say yes and she gives you a short password. In a linked game this is the Symmetry Secret, which you take to Labrynna to receive a reply for Farore. If you play without a link you get nothing here, and the Ring Box upgrade comes from a Goron in Goron Mountain instead. Leave by the front door.
Piece of Heart at the Woods of Winter pond
Wade around the pond and lift the rock
Walk south from Holly’s house into the autumn screens with red trees and keep going until you reach a screen with a stump beside a pond. Wade through the shallow water along the pond’s edge until you reach the sandy bank on the south side. A single rock sits next to the heart, so lift it with the Power Bracelet and then take the Piece of Heart. This is Piece of Heart 3 of 12. Return to the stump beside the pond afterwards.
Gasha Nut from the winter tree
Switch to winter and cut down the tree
Stand on the stump and use the Rod of Seasons again to turn the season to winter. Walk through the snowy screens, fighting a few Octoroks as you go, until you find the tree that grew from the Gasha Seed you picked up outside Snake’s Remains. A Gasha Seed grows into a tree after you defeat about twenty enemies, and bears its nut after about twenty more. If you only see a sprout, keep fighting enemies on the way and come back.
Slash the tree and a Gasha Nut falls out. Open it and this time it holds hearts: the game says five hearts were inside and your life refills completely. Gasha Nuts can instead hold a Magic Ring or, from a few special trees, a Piece of Heart, so plant every Gasha Seed you find.
Piece of Heart under the windmill
Lift the rocks and cross the snow to the cave
Keep the season on winter and walk back toward Horon Village. A row of rocks blocks one of the snow screens, so lift them with the Power Bracelet and keep walking east. The windmill sits on a high ledge beside a stump, and a long snowdrift between two hills forms a bridge to the cave entrance directly below it. Walk over the drift and go in.
Reach the end of the row of pots
Inside, a row of pots runs to the far end of the cave, and a heart floats above it. Walk along the row and take the Piece of Heart. This is Piece of Heart 4 of 12, and with four pieces you receive your first extra Heart Container, bringing your life up to seven full hearts. Leave the cave and make your way back toward Horon Village.
Horon Village: the pond chest and Vasu’s rings
Talk to the woman at the fountain
A woman with black hair stands by the fountain in the middle of the village. She says she told a lost-looking girl from a foreign land that it is dangerous beyond the village. She is the first hint of Zelda’s story.
Cross the frozen pond behind Dr. Left’s house
With winter still set, go into the red-roofed house of Dr. Left, the man at the desk. If the east wall is still cracked, set a Bomb against it, then walk out of the back door. The pond behind the house is frozen, so slide across the ice to the chest on its far bank and open it for 20 Rupees.
Appraise your rings at Vasu’s Jewelers
Walk to the cyan-roofed shop with the red gem over the door, Vasu’s Jewelers, and choose Appraise. Each appraisal costs 20 Rupees, so you pay 80 for four rings. Your four unappraised rings turn out to be the Discovery Ring (it chimes when soft soil is near), the Like Like Ring (turns you into a Like Like), the Cursed Ring (halves your sword damage and doubles the damage you take) and the Quicksand Ring (you no longer sink in quicksand). Put the Discovery Ring in your Ring Box if you are still hunting for Gasha spots, and keep the Cursed Ring out of it.
Farore’s Hall of Secrets and the L-3 Ring Box
Enter the Maku Tree and read Farore’s Memory
Walk to the Maku Tree and go in through the door in the trunk, then follow the passage to the Hall of Secrets, run by Farore, the Oracle of Secrets. Read the book Farore’s Memory to open the Secret List, which holds the secrets you have collected so far. Here it lists the Tingle, Symmetry and Fairy secrets. Farore then welcomes you and explains how secrets work.
Enter the Symmetry reply for the L-3 Ring Box
Type the five-character reply you brought back from Labrynna for the Symmetry Secret on the letter screen and confirm. Farore hands you the L-3 Ring Box, which holds five rings at a time. You can still wear only one ring at a time, but you can now swap between five from the menu.
Enter the second password for a Heart Container
Talk to Farore again and enter the second password you brought back. A treasure chest appears in the middle of the hall. Walk up to it and open it for a Heart Container, which brings your life up to eight full hearts. Leave the Hall through the same door.
Rescue Princess Zelda from the Great Moblin (linked game)
Speak with Impa about Zelda
Back in the village, walk east past the shop into the snowy field beyond. Impa meets you there and tells you that Zelda has left, and asks you to find her. Head north past Impa’s house, where lifting the rocks that block the path opens the road.
Plant a Gasha Seed on the riverbank
Next to the river on the way there, a patch of soft soil sits in the snow. The game offers to let you plant a Gasha Seed there, so choose Plant. The tree grows after about twenty kills.
Meet Maple again on the snow field
Fight your way north through the snowy field. Maple crashes into you again, drops Rupees, Recovery Hearts and a ring, and flies off in a huff. Grab all of it before it vanishes. Use the Power Bracelet to lift the rocks in the way, then keep going until the snow gives way to a green field with a cliff cave.
Beat the Great Moblin’s soldiers
On the next green screen the Great Moblin, a huge green pig, is cornering a girl while his four Moblin soldiers guard him. Strike the soldiers with your sword, dodging the spears, and keep hitting them until all four are down. The Great Moblin shouts that you will not get away and runs off, leaving Zelda unharmed.
Receive the ring from Zelda
Zelda introduces herself as Princess Zelda, thanks you for saving her and explains that she left the castle alone. She hands you a ring and tells you to have it appraised, then goes to stay with Impa. This is a linked-game gift and the ring turns out to be the Blue Joy Ring.
Visit Impa’s house and Vasu again
Walk back to Impa’s house, where Impa welcomes you back and Zelda waits beside her. Impa sends you toward Spool Swamp, the next stop on your quest, and warns you that the monsters there are stronger than any you have faced so far.
Walk to Vasu’s Jewelers one last time and appraise the two unnamed rings in your box for 20 Rupees each. The ring you picked up from Maple’s loot is the Roc’s Ring, which keeps you from falling through cracked floors, and Zelda’s gift is the Blue Joy Ring, which makes beasts drop double Hearts. Vasu then tells you he has appraised all of your rings, and you have 443 Rupees left.
