Rem, the shoemaker of Hyrule Town, is asleep and will not make your Pegasus Boots until someone wakes him. The route sends you to the witch Syrup for a Wake-Up Mushroom, and along the way you fuse eight Kinstones, return a lost key at Lon Lon Ranch and pick up three Heart Pieces, two bottles and two wallet upgrades. Once the boots are yours, Swiftblade teaches the Dash Attack and you finish with the Boomerang and a Cucco round in town.

Rem’s shoe shop: why the boots are delayed

Shrink at the pot and talk to the Minish

Walk into Rem’s shoe shop in the west part of Hyrule Town. Rem is dozing at his workbench. Stand on the glowing pot by the left wall and press R to shrink at this Minish Portal. You must be Minish-sized here, because the people who can help are on the workbench.

Climb onto the bench and talk to the tiny Minish. They explain that they finished a pair of Pegasus Boots while Rem slept, but only Rem can add the finishing touches, and he is nearly impossible to wake. To wake him you need an item from Syrup’s hut, and they mark the hut on your map. Grow back to normal size and head out.

Hyrule Town: Kinstone fusions with Brocco, Hagen and Marshall

Brocco in the market

Brocco, who runs a stall in the market place, takes a green Kinstone piece. After the fusion the Hyrule Castle Garden map appears: the fountain there drains and a stairway is uncovered. Nothing is collected now, so this is a spot to remember for a later visit to the Garden. This is a random Kinstone fusion, so it is not tied to a story event.

Mayor Hagen and the ladder cave

Mayor Hagen waits in his house north of the market. Fuse a red piece with him and a cutscene shows the pool beside the Lon Lon Ranch house draining to reveal a staircase. The reward waits at the ranch, so keep going and collect it in the Lon Lon Ranch section below.

Back outside Hagen’s house, step on the stairs next to the building and go down the ladder. In the small cave below, a few Keese flutter over a floor of tiles. Open the chest for a Kinstone piece.

Marshall in the garden

Marshall stands in the planted area beside the same stairs. Fuse a green piece with him; the map shows a spot in Minish Woods changing, and Marshall remarks that they fitted perfectly. This is your fourth fusion of the game, and the reward is part of the Minish Woods trip below.

Lon Lon Ranch: the lost key and a Big Wallet

Find the key inside the house

Head out of Hyrule Town into Hyrule Field and on to Lon Lon Ranch. Talon has lost his key and cannot get into the house, where the spare is kept. Step on the tree stump next to the house and press R to shrink at this Minish Portal, then go inside the house at Minish size. Open the pot in the bedroom to take the Lon Lon Ranch Key and shrink out the same way.

Give the key to Talon. He lets you through the house, which is also the shortcut that leads north to Lake Hylia, and he asks your name. You can walk through his house freely now.

The Big Wallet under the drained pool

Step back outside and look at the ranch pool that Hagen’s fusion drained: a staircase now leads down. Walk down and open the chest in the small room to get a Big Wallet. This is the second wallet upgrade you own, so the ranch fusion reward is already in your pocket.

Plateau cave and Minish Woods: Kinstone piece and Heart Container

The stump on the plateau

North of the ranch, use the Cane of Pacci on the holes in the ground to reach the grassy plateau. At the top, step on the tree stump and shrink. Walk along the water’s edge at Minish size, drop down the ladder into a round cave and open the chest in its centre for another Kinstone piece. You can also see a Piece of Heart on an island across the water from here.

Glide south to Minish Woods

Grow back at the stump and glide with the Cane of Pacci holes back across the plateau and the water. Your route ends in Minish Woods, and a Kinstone piece waits on the path under the cliff. Pick it up.

The Piece of Heart on the island

Follow the path a little farther to the small pond with a wooden jetty: the heart is on its pedestal. Take it. This is your fourth Piece of Heart, so the game announces a new Heart Container and your life gauge grows by one heart.

Syrup’s hut: the Wake-Up Mushroom

Syrup’s hut is the round building in Minish Woods, just beside the heart island. Talk to the witch, pick the mushroom she offers and pay 60 Rupees. You receive the Wake-Up Mushroom. She tells you the smell is strong enough to wake anything.

Lon Lon Ranch again: Goron and Eenie

The Goron merchant fusion

Return to Lon Lon Ranch. Near the boulders at the south edge, a Goron explains that the rock will not break and that he needs more friends. Fuse a blue piece with him. After the fusion a cutscene shows a path outside Hyrule Town where a Goron merchant will set up a stall. You will meet him in town later in this chapter.

Eenie and the Goron Cave

One field over, Eenie digs with a pick. Fuse a blue piece with him, wait for the “I feel so much stronger” line, and do not cancel the fusion. The Goron beside the boulders breaks through the rock and uncovers the Goron Cave entrance on the ranch map. Starting the Goron quest with Eenie is the first step towards the Goron Cave bottle.

His neighbour Meenie offers another fusion. If you open it, you can back out safely, but he calls it quitting. A fusion with Meenie opens a chest ledge on the Crenel Wall later in the game, so leave it for now.

Adventurer’s spring: the Great Butterfly Fairy

Throw your rupees, get a Big Wallet

Go back into Minish Woods and use the Cane of Pacci hole to reach the adventurer’s spring, where the Great Butterfly Fairy waits. This is one of the three Great Fairies. She asks whether you want to throw your Rupees into the spring. Answer yes and confirm. She says she does not need the Rupees and gives you something better.

The fairy rewards your kindness with a Big Wallet, the third wallet you now carry, and keeps none of your money. Leave through the door and you come out in the Eastern Hills.

South Hyrule Field: Tingle and the hollow tree

Tingle in the field

Cross the Eastern Hills into South Hyrule Field. Use the Cane of Pacci to reach the eastern clearing where Tingle stands. He is delighted that you look like a fairy and asks to fuse. Use a green piece. The map then shows a tree opening in North Hyrule Field, with a hollow in the trunk. Tingle tells you that you still have 93 fusions to go, which confirms this was your seventh. Nothing is collected now.

The Piece of Heart beside your house

Walk along the dirt path to the big hollow tree close to your own house and go in. A Piece of Heart sits on the pedestal inside. This is the first piece of your next Heart Container, and the tree was opened by your first fusion, with the Hurdy-Gurdy Man. Pick it up, climb out and walk to your house.

Link’s house: Smith and the Empty Bottle

Smith works in your house. Open the fusion screen and use a red piece on him. A cutscene shows a chest appearing in the Eastern Hills. He also offers a second fusion with a green piece, but you can quit that one without harm.

Go back to the Eastern Hills and open the chest to receive an Empty Bottle, your second bottle. Use it to carry potions or fairies.

Rem’s shop: waking Rem for the Pegasus Boots

Take the path north to Hyrule Town and walk into Rem’s shop. Face Rem at the workbench, take out the Wake-Up Mushroom and press R. He bolts upright coughing at the smell, thanks you, and mentions that he makes shoes in his sleep. After a short talk you receive the Pegasus Boots, which let you dash by holding their button. Equip them on A or B along with the sword.

Hyrule Town market: the Kinstone merchant

In the market, the Goron from the fusion has set up a stall. He sells a Kinstone piece for 200 Rupees. You have only 123 Rupees at this point, so you cannot buy one now. Return when your wallet is fuller.

Mama’s Cafe to Stockwell’s counter: Bottle of Dog Food

Shrink in Mama’s Cafe

Go into Mama’s Cafe and step on the pot in the corner to shrink. Walk through the tiny rooms behind the counter, past the Minish who live there, and out onto the wooden beams. The beams link the cafe to the neighbouring shop.

Cross the beams towards Stockwell’s shop. Enemies patrol the rafters, so jump down or knock them out of your way and drop behind the counter.

Take the Bottle of Dog Food

Stockwell is startled to find you behind his counter. Ask him about the bottle: it holds food for his dog, Borken. He says you may keep the bottle if you feed the dog, and you receive the Bottle of Dog Food, your third bottle. The dog lives at Lake Hylia, so keep it until you can feed him. Step on the pot beside the counter to grow back to normal size and use the front door.

Swiftblade’s dojo: Rock Breaker and Dash Attack

Visit Swiftblade in his dojo in Hyrule Town. He is pleased you now have a new sword and teaches you the Rock Breaker. He demonstrates it, then tells you to try it by breaking the pots at the side of the room. You receive the Rock Breaker Tiger Scroll.

Because you now have the Pegasus Boots, Swiftblade offers more training. Equip the sword and the boots on two buttons, run at the target and slash to learn the Dash Attack, your second Tiger Scroll of the visit. Spend no more time here.

Romio’s house: Piece of Heart

Go to the small house with the dog, south of the north gate. Step on the pot inside and shrink. The dog barks at you, and you can understand him at this size.

Leave through the front door at Minish size, head north-west along the wall and climb the vine to the back of the inn. A small tiled room waits there with a glowing pot and a Piece of Heart on the floor.

Take the heart. This is the second piece of your new Heart Container, and the game says two more are needed. Step on the pot to grow back to normal size.

Bakery at Minish size: 100 Rupees

Go to the bakery, where the baker and his wife are busy. Use the Minish Portal there to shrink, walk across the giant loaves and croissants and open the small chest for 100 Rupees. This takes your wallet to 223 Rupees.

Anju’s Cuccos: Mysterious Shells and Rupees

Meet Anju, the woman with the Cuccos, near the south-east corner of town. This time you have 25 seconds to catch three of them. Pick up each Cucco with R, run or roll after the stragglers and carry them back to the pen. Anju hands you 10 Mysterious Shells and 80 Rupees, so your wallet holds 303 Rupees. See the minigames list for the later rounds.

Stockwell’s shop: the Boomerang

With 303 Rupees you can finally afford Stockwell’s Boomerang. Walk into his shop, pay 300 Rupees and take it. It leaves you with 3 Rupees.

The Postman: eighth Kinstone fusion

Run into the Postman in the street. Fuse a blue piece with him, then walk into the post office. He decides he needs help with the extra work and plans to ask Marcy; later she sells the Swordsman Newsletter.

On towards the next errand

Check the Hyrule Town map and head out by the east side along the castle wall, over the bridge into the Eastern Hills. Everything in the town loop is done: the Pegasus Boots now let you dash into trees and across gaps for the next stretch of the game.
