The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD Guide Overworld: From Faron Province to the Goron Mines
Task 5: Find Mayor Bo and Learn the Secrets of Sumo
Wrestling with Mayor Bo
Follow the advice of Renado the shaman, and inform each of your village’s inhabitants that their children are safe. Start with Sera in her sundries store. Don’t forget the miserable Hanch on the flat rock outcrop above the pumpkin patch!
Head over to Jaggle and inform him next; he says he’ll talk to the mayor about getting the kids back where they belong.
Pergie is sitting in her waterwheel house, worried sick. Her demeanor changes when you tell her those tykes are OK!
As you move across to Rusl’s house, Mayor Bo calls you over and beckons you inside. He’s thankful the children are safe, but he’s worried that Ilia isn’t among them! He hears that you need his secrets to defeat Gorons in ceremonial combat. He agrees, as long as you promise to tell no one! You’re led into the back room, where Bo teaches you of the basics of sumo wrestling.

Sumo wrestling techniques: 
1. The first fella to push his foe outside the arena wins. 2. Step forward and grab your foe with A. 3. Strike a fleein’ foe with the B button. 4. Sidestep an attackin’ foe by moving left or right. Master all three techniques and you’ll be shovin’ folks out of the arena in no time, lad! |
Ready? Fight! Use all three of the techniques on Mayor Bo, then grab and wrench him out of the ring to complete your training. He sets up a second match and is more difficult to defeat. You must learn which techniques to try.
1. Use the strike on a foe trying to sidestep.
2. Use the grab on a foe trying to strike.
3. Use the sidestep on a foe trying to grab.
4. Always use a grab and push to secure victory.
* Vary your tactics when encountering Goron challengers.
Execute these moves as you see an enemy’s action, and you’ll win every time!
|
If you need further guidance, run into the sumo room, and look for the three notes (called “The Way of Sumo”) pinned to signs; they reinforce these techniques. |
After the second bout, you can practice again, before the mayor leads you into the main room and tells you another secret: you need additional weight to beat the heavy Gorons in sumo wrestling! Your prize is in the chest.
Overworld Chest #10:
Iron Boots
Iron Boots
You got the Iron Boots! Wear these and you’ll become so heavy that not even a Goron can move you.
|
The Iron Boots are useful, so keep them readily available. Place them in your inventory so when you press the Y button, they slot on and off your feet. You can use other items in conjunction with the Iron Boots. However, they slow your movement, so wear them only where necessary. They are also magnetic. |
Head out of the mayor’s house, and across to Rusl and Uli’s place. Uli is inside, and she thanks you for letting her know Colin is safe and sound!
Your next port of call is important; you must ride Epona up into the pasture area and speak with Fado. He needs his goats herded. Agree, and follow the previous strategies for maneuvering these stubborn creatures into the barn.
Providing you complete this task, Fado offers you an excellent reward for your wrangling! Pick up this Piece of Heart from him before you leave Ordon Village.
Piece of Heart
You got a Piece of Heart! Collect five pieces to form a new Heart Container. Piece of Heart #6 of 45.
