You start the game sleeping inside your home in Kokiri
Forest. When Navi the Fairy comes, you'll wake up. Leave your house and
run up the small hill and go to the left. Go around or climb over the
fences to reach the wall. When the Action button says "Enter", push A
and crawl through the passageway. There'll be a maze with a boulder
moving through it. Get through the back of the maze and open the chest
there to get the Kokiri Sword! Get back out by crawling through the
passage again. Run around the grassy areas, jump across the river with
square-shaped rocks, and go into Mido's Home and open the chests to
find some rupees. When you have at least 40 Rupees, go to the Shop and
buy the Deku Shield. Now, go towards the path to the Deku Tree and talk
to Mido. If you have your sword and shield equipped, he'll let you pass
through the path to talk to the Tree. Talk to the Deku Tree and hear
what he has to say until it opens up in front. When you can move again,
enter the tree through that opening. Inside the Great Deku Tree, defeat
the enemies there and get some Deku Nuts and Deku Sticks, also cut down
bushes to get nuts, rupees, and even hearts! Climb the ladder to reach
the second floor, where you'll find the Map in a chest. Jump across the
gap to the right of the chest and enter the door there. When the Deku
Scrub in the center of the room attacks, just use your shield and
reflect the nut back at him. When it hits, try and catch him and he'll
give you info on how to defeat his other brothers. Go to the next room
and run through the room, jumping on the gray block, then the other
side before it crumbled. Open the chest to get the Fairy Slingshot!
Since the block crumbled, you can't find a way back across, so it's
time to use your slingshot. Aim at the ladder high above you, and it'll
fall, giving you access to the door again! Get back into the main area
and shoot the Skulltulas crawling on the vine-like walls above the
chest with the Map. After they're all defeated, climb up the wall and
touch ground up there to get to the third floor. Go a little bit to the
right and enter the door there. Take out a Deku Stick and light it up,
then light the other torch in the room to leave the room afterwards.
Push the switch and the three platforms in middle of the room will rise
for a limited time. Jump across the platforms to the other side and
open the chest to get the Compass. To get back to the other side
without the platforms risen, run to the other side and climb up the
wall. Go back into the main area and defeat any of the Skulltulas
hanging above the edges of the walkways by swinging your sword at their
soft bellies twice. Then, go to the edge of the platform facing the
center, and then look down at the web. Jump off the ledge and fall
through the web, destroying it. You'll now be able to reach the
basement this way! Get onto fry land and take out another Deku Stick
and light it up. Now, run across the shallow water to the other side by
the webs and burn the web apart and enter the door. Defeat the enemies
there and aim your slingshot at the eye above the door and shoot to
raise the bars blocking it. Go through the door, and dive underwater
and push the switch to lower the water. Get back to the entrance of the
room and wait for the platform to reach your side. Then, get on and let
it take you across the water to the other side. (Don't worry about the
spiked log, it won't hit you, but it'll hurt if you didn't push the
switch!) Defeat the Skulltula and pull the block across the floor so
you can reach the door. Defeat the Deku Baba here, then take a Deku
Stick and light the two torches here to open the door. Go into the next
room, but watch out; three enemies will fall from the ceiling to
attack, so be prepared. Light up a Deku Stick after that and burn the
web blocking access to the next room. Go into the room and defeat the
Deku Babas, then push the block into the water. Then, jump into the
water and get onto the ledge with the lit torch on it. Light up a Deku
Stick by it and jump from the platform onto the block, then onto the
other side. Swing the Stick down above the web on the floor to burn it
apart. Fall into the hole and surface on the dry land again. This time,
there are three Deku Scrubs there and you can only beat them in a
certain order. I believe the order in killing them is: 2 3 1. When you
hit the last one, it'll start moving around the room, so catch it.
He`ll give you a tip on defeating the boss in the next room, then
leave. Refill your hearts if needed and go into the next room and look
up at the ceiling. The boss, Gohma, will see you and jump onto the
floor to attack. Shoot it in the eye when it turns red, then when it's
stunned, come in and swing at the eye with the sword. It'll take about
10 hits from your sword to kill it. Take the Heart Container and go to
the light to exit the Deku Tree! Listen to what it has to say and
before it dies, it'll give you the Kokiri Emerald, which is also the
first Spiritual Stone! Now, leave the area and talk to Mido at the end
of the path. When he leaves, exit the forest and as you leave, Saria
will talk to you. She'll give you the Fairy Ocarina, then it's off to
Hyrule Castle! On your way out, talk with the owl, then go to the Castle!
