Outset Island (B7)

This is Link’s native island, where the game starts. Link’s childhood friends and his family, including his loving Grandma, live here. It is large and features many items of interest.

Orange Rupee

Crawl beneath Grandma’s porch and into the basement. A chest here contains an Orange Rupee.

Beedle’s Shop Ship

Enter Beedle’s Shop Ship to purchase items. Here he sells a Hyoi Pear for 10 Rupees, All-Purpose Bait for 30 Rupees, and 30 bombs for 60 Rupees. Beedle also sells the Bait Bag here for 20 Rupees if you haven’t purchased it yet.

Pig Collecting

This optional side quest is available only during the earliest stages of the game. Collect the three pigs on the island and take them to Rose, who is standing near her pigpen. Throw each pig into Rose’s pigpen and then talk to her. She loves pigs so much that she gives you a Red Rupee for each one you bring to her pen.

Telescope

Aryll gives you the Telescope when you talk to her after changing into the Hero’s Clothes. It is the first of many items that you acquire as you play through the game.

Hero’s Sword

After using the Telescope to see the Helmaroc King drop Tetra into the Forest of Fairies, go to Orca’s house. He gives you the Hero’s Sword and teaches you the basics of sword fighting.

Hero’s Shield

After you save her, Tetra demands that you get a shield as protection before she takes you to the Forsaken Fortress. Return to Grandma’s house and talk to her to get the Hero’s Shield.

Elixir Soup

When you return to Outset Island after acquiring bombs, visit Grandma, who’s sick with worry over her two grandchildren. Use a Red Potion or a captured Fairy from an Empty Bottle to heal her. Once healed, she gives you some Elixir Soup, which fully restores your Life Gauge and Magic Meter when used. It also lets you deal double damage until you are hit. Return to Grandma any time to refill your bottle with Elixir Soup. You can use it twice before you need a refill.

Rupee Wallet Upgrade (via Great Fairy #5)

A Great Fairy dwells in a Fairy Fountain inside the Forest of Fairies above Outset Island. You need the Deku Leaf and the bombs to reach the Great Fairy. By the time you get the bombs, the bridge that leads to the Forest of Fairies’ entrance has fallen into ruin. Use the Deku Leaf to glide across the ruined bridge and reach the forest’s entrance.

Once inside the forest, proceed until you come to a large boulder near a sign. Bomb the boulder to reveal a hole leading to the Fairy Fountain, where you get the ability to carry more Rupees. Return here any time to catch Fairies and restore your Life Gauge.

Piece of Heart #37

When you return to Outset Island later in the game, go up to Rose and Abe’s house. Their pigpen holds an extremely fat gray pig. Abe hints that the pig, given some All-Purpose Bait, loves to dig in dark soil. Carry the pig to the lower area of the island. Cross the wooden planks to the island’s east side, where you see two patches of dark soil and regain Power Bracelets.

Put the pig down on the dark gray patch of soil nearest the rocky wall and then spread some All-Purpose Bait. The pig grunts, eats the bait, and then digs, pulling out Piece of Heart #37.

Hurricane Spin Attack

When you return to Orca’s house after collecting 10 Knight’s Crests, he teaches you a powerful new attack. Show him your Knight’s Crests, and he asks for 10 of them. Give them to him, and he teaches you the Hurricane Spin attack.

Piece of Heart #19 (via Combat Training)

Spar against Orca and earn his respect. Hit him 100 times or more while sparring and he grants you the rank of Knight and gives you a Purple Rupee. Hit him 500 times or more to earn the rank of Master and receive Piece of Heart #19.

After you 9-target Orca, hit him with two to four regular $ attacks, then quickly bring up your shield to block his counterattack. (You may have to wait a few seconds before he attacks, but don’t let your guard drop.) If you take only two swipes each time you attack and then hold your shield up immediately afterward, Orca can’t hit you and you can hit him up to 999 times. Use Switch targeting when you spar with Orca to remain targeted on him without having to hold 9.

Triforce Shard #2(Via Secret Cave)

Head to the ruined bridge that used to lead to the Forest of Fairies high above Outset Island. Look for a large stone face on a grassy ledge in the distance. From this high area, use the Deku Leaf to glide over to the stone face. Lift the face to reveal a hole (you need the Power Bracelets to do this). Drop into the Secret Cave, which is called the Savage Labyrinth.

Head down each floor of the Savage Labyrinth, defeating enemies as you go. Every 10th floor is a rest area where you can collect Hearts and Rupees. If you need more Hearts, use your Grappling Hook to pull them out of enemies (stun them first with the Boomerang). At the 30th floor, you see a chest containing Triforce Shard #2.

Hero’s Charm (Via Savage Labyrinth)

After you collect Triforce Shard #2 from the 30th floor of the Savage Labyrinth, go onward. Use the Mirror Shield to reflect a beam of light to destroy a large stone statue on the 30th floor. Drop into the hole that the statue was covering to reach the 31st floor of the Savage Labyrinth.

Focus on defeating the enemies on each floor as you head to the 50th floor. You will receive no Hearts on the 40th floor, so be prepared with plenty of healing items. The 50th floor sports a chest that contains the Hero’s Charm, which reveals enemy Life Gauges during battle. Nice fighting!

Orange Rupee (via Treasure Chart #43)

Find and open Treasure Chart #43 (found on the Sea Platform in the Horseshoe Island [A7]) to pull a chest from the Great Sea near Outset Island. The chest contains an Orange Rupee.
