Introduction

OoT3D_Gerudo_Token_Icon

Welcome to grand journey of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time RA guide, if you are a first time player wanting to learn the ropes without ease or long time veteran seeking out forgotten relics of your past this guide should help you with your mastery! This guide will focus on obtaining every achievement, when to center your attention on missables and a 3 heart guide for new players worried about it for their mastery!

This guide will be in split up into three sections:

  1. 100% run
  2. Collectable Roundup
  3. 3 Heart Challenge

The guide will be geared for more the causal player experince, for the golden skullulas and heart pieces a checklist will added with a simple note how where/how to obtain the collectable. Those items you can find at your own pace and wouldn't stress on the 100% run. The guide will not help the players through puzzles or dungeons unless an achievement asks for it. Follow this guide and you will be throwing Deku nuts at Ganon in no time with this guide!

Getting Started

OoT3D_Ocarina_of_Time_Icon

It's recommended to do two playthroughs for the mastery, the first playthrough being a full 100% run focusing on collectables: Heart Pieces, Golden Skullulas, Dungeon Chests, etc. The second playthrough would be the 3 heart run, if a veteran you could do the whole game in one single playthrough. It is not recommended for causal players due to the pure backtracking you would have to do, More information about the 3 heart run below.

Few helpful tips below:

  1. Make sure to use the saving to your advantage, any time you save in the main menu it will save any item you collect or key you grab in a dungeon. If you are dealing with a hard missable you can copy your save file and move it over to the two other slots and move on with your save file to come back. One you exit the game after saving the game will either put you at the start of the dungeon or:
  • Young link: Link's House[Kokiri Forest]
  • Adult Link: Temple of Time
  1. If you are struggling with the game, the guide will help you become better equipped with items. Don't be afraid to use fairy's as an extra life system, using a fairy doesn't count towards the death count so the more bottles you have the more extra lives you are holding!
  2. Before going to a boss, save before you go into the boss room and use Farore's Wind to shorten runbacks.. If you failed the missable, reset the game and go back to the save to try again. Use the three save files to your advantage if you are stuck on a boss to take a break and come back to the missable if needed.

Accomplished Angler (10)
Catch the rare Hyrule Loach

The rare Hyrule Loach is tricky, but you can do a major trick to make this very easy.

  1. Enter the pond and check the lily pads to the left if Loach is there. [Long big fish]
  2. If fish is not there go outside, play song of sun re enter. The Loach appears every 4th time.
  3. Once you fish in lily pads, go to Water Temple and save the game.
  4. Keep on trying to catch the Hyrule Loach near the lily pads, if you you fail first try rest save.

Notes:

  • You have to pay to find out if the loach is near the lily pads so save before to not waste ruppees
  • If the fish bits then gets off the hook, you won't be able to try again for 15 mins. Reset to save time.

King of Thieves (10)
Defeat Ganondorf without falling or climbing down the Platform and without using Fairies

Equip the hover boots as soon as possible and walk over to the corner. You can get it hit, just make sure you always have the boots equipped so you don't fall down the ledge. It's really not too hard just make sure you hit him with a light arrow before you walk over to the other side when attacking ganon.

My Last Breath (10)
Defeat Ganon with 1 heart or less remaining without using Fairies or Bombs

At this point you should have more than enough hearts, maybe even maxed out twenty hearts. You should have the amour defense boost and be well equipped to where you don't even need fairies. It's okay to get hurt on the fight. This is the easiest fight known to zelda, all you do is roll right before ganon is about to swing in between his legs. Attack his tail , rinse and repeat. IF you wanted to only use deku nuts as flex you could. The biggest take away is rolling right before ganon swings.

3 Heart Challenge

Banner

The main advice that you really can take is after you 100% the game, you should gained a knowledge of where to go or what to be aware of. You need bottles as soon as possible to stock up on fairies. Really the biggest take away from this challenge is go at your own pace. Save often and don't be afraid to get as many bottles or upgrades as soon as possible to help you along your three heart challenge. If you pick up a heart piece it's okay, just don't pick up the 4th heart piece to increase your health further.
