The Kakariko Village region includes the bustling village itself, along with the small Cucco Ranch and Rupee Rush playing fields to the south. Link can accomplish quite a lot around this region early in the adventure. Buying a bottle and shield and obtaining the net from the Bee Man should be your first three orders of business in Kakariko Village. Later, you can also buy the smooth gem from the Street Merchant and obtain the Pegasus Boots from the Thief. Rupees can be won from the Fortune’s Choice game in the village, and also from the Rupee Rush and Cucco Ranch minigames found just south of town. Rupee Rush becomes available after you clear the Eastern Palace, and it’s a particularly good way to earn lots of Rupees—just keep your own time and go for those ending bonuses!
