[shadow=dimgray,left,300]INSIDE THE GREAT DEKU TREE[/shadow]
The Beginning
The game starts out with Link asleep in bed dreaming. Navi drops by Link’s house with a message for him to go meet with the Great Deku Tree. Head out of Link’s house and climb down the ladder to meet with Saria. From here, you’re ready to begin your quest through the land of Hyrule!
The Kokiri sword is located in a small hole around the maze of fences. Crawl through the hole and pick up any rupees through the grass. Avoid the big rock and circle around the path until you find the big treasure chest in the upper left corner of the area. Equip the sword by selecting it on the equipment screen of your start menu. You can use your sword to cut grass in order to get more rupees.
To get the shield, collect rupees from various houses and treasure chests and then purchase it from the Kokiri shop. The price of the shield is 40 rupees. You can hop the three platforms leading to the Kokiri shop for a blue rupee and there are other blue rupees lying around the town. Equip the shield by selecting it on the equipment screen of your start menu.
Inside the Great Deku Tree
In order to save the Great Deku Tree, you will need to break the curse that lies inside of him. Once inside, take note of the web in the center; it will be useful to you in the future. Climb the vines up to the next platform; you can then either go left for a heart on the edge of the log or right to the big treasure chest with a map in it.
With the Skulltulas hanging from the vines above the treasure chest, you won’t be able to reach the top without being knocked down. Instead, proceed to the right of the treasure chest until you reach a door and go through it. The door will lock behind you; defeat the Deku scrub by bouncing the nuts he shoots at you off your shield. Once you hit him, talk to him and the door ahead will unlock. In the next room, get to the other side and open the treasure chest with the slingshot in it. Equip the slingshot to one of your C-buttons and climb up the vine that is left of the treasure chest to get a heart from a smaller treasure chest. If you didn’t jump on the platform on your way in, jump across it to go back to the other side. If you jumped on the platform, simply use your slingshot on the ladder hanging above the exit. (jump across the platform or shoot the ladder down)
Climb up the ladder and go back through the doors to the vines where the Skulltulas are. Shoot each one with your slingshot and climb to the top-right. Once you reach the top, go right until you get to a door. In the next room is a switch, 3 platforms, a torch, and an unlit torch as well as various enemies and treasure chests.
Hit the switch to raise the 3 platforms and cross directly to the opposite side and open the treasure chest to receive your compass. Go back to the switch and hit it again but go to the left side -- avoid the spider hanging above. Open the treasure chest for a heart. You can exit the room by lighting the unlit torch with the deku stick and the pre-lit torch nearby. If you don’t have a deku stick on you, simply cross back to the opposite side and kill the deku baba.
Once you’re back to the ring of spiders, kill any one and look down the ledge. Aim at the spider web below and jump right in the center. If you don’t hit the center or at least near it, you will have to climb back up and try again.
The water that you land in is too deep to reach the high ledges around it. Find the shallow water and walk across to the side with the switch. The switch will light the torch and burn the web around it. Behind the torch is a chest with a heart in it.
Light a deku stick and walk across the shallow water to the side with the spider web blocking the door. Light the web on fire with the stick and then go through the door. In the next room is a deku scrub that you should defeat to get a helpful tip. Shoot the slingshot at the silver eye above the locked door to unlock it.
Hit the underwater switch by floating above it and hold down the "A" button to dive until you hit it. The switch is located next to the second cage on the left side from the previous room. Hitting the switch will lower the water; rush back to the other side and ride the floating platform to the opposite side. If the water rises back up before you make it, simply repeat the process. Kill the Skulltula hanging around the box and push or pull the box so that you can reach the ledge to the next room.
Light the two torches in the next room to open the locked door. Avoid the deku baba plants and cut the grass to reveal hearts or other needed items. Once you walk through the door, watch the Skulltula hanging from above the ceiling. Get him out of the way and then kill the spiders that drop from the ceiling or you can avoid them beforehand and shoot the eggs that hang from the ceiling. Light a deku stick with your torch and burn the spider web on the right side. Crawl through the small hole into the next room. Push the block over the ledge and light the torch from the other side and jump back over and light the web on fire. Be sure to press the "R" button to lean over on the web or else it won’t work.
You will fall into a small room with hearts and three deku scrubs. Bounce nuts off each scrub in the proper order (2-3-1) to unlock the next door to the boss of the Deku Tree.
Boss: Queen Ghoma
Defeating the Queen is quite simple. Simply look above the ceiling until you see her eye in the sky. Once she comes down to fight, stun the Queen by either shooting the slingshot in her eye or throwing a deku nut. Once she is stunned, take a few swipes with your sword. She will retreat to the ceiling where you can either fight off the baby eggs she shoots down at you or take another shot in her eye with a slingshot to stun her again. Repeat these steps until the Queen is dead; collect the heart piece and walk through the portal that takes you back outside.
Kokiri Forest
Walk to the opposite side of the forest to the exit. On your way out, you will talk to Saria who gives you the Fairy Ocarina. Head to Hyrule Castle, where you will meet Princess Zelda. If it turns dark, fight off the re-appearing skeletons until the drawbridge lowers in the morning.
