The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD eGuide Overworld: Journey Through Lanayru Province

Task 1: Purchase Some Bombs in Kakariko Village

Down from Death Mountain

Back at the village, you can now visit the hot springs above the Elde Inn, where two Gorons are bathing and relaxing. They have brought down some supplies for Barnes, and the smaller Goron is setting up shop on the thoroughfare opposite the bomb maker’s place. Additionally, if you have an empty Bottle, you can dip it into the hot springs.

Hot Springwater

You got some Hot Springwater!

Hot Springwater has some incredible rejuvenating powers, which refill all Hearts and have a slight power boost. However, after about a day of travel, the water cools, so consider using other methods to heal yourself.

You can attempt a little item-grabbing with your Gale Boomerang. Stand on the roof of the Elde Inn and double-target the small crate on the tiny ledge to your left. Release the boomerang. The first hit bursts the crate, and the second hit brings back a yellow Rupee (10). However, there’s a better way to attempt this later on. When you’re done here, drop to the thoroughfare.

Run to the thoroughfare’s southern area, where you catch Renado near Malo Mart. He tells you that life is returning to normal and that Talo has become the village lookout, spending his time standing atop the lookout shack.

Renado reckons you should speak with Talo, so head up the thoroughfare, pausing to talk to another Goron who is returning from the mines. He offers to propel you up to the hot springs. This is the short way to reach the hot springs, so accept his offer if you want.

Continue up the thoroughfare if you didn’t accept the Goron’s offer, and you encounter another Goron who’s ecstatic to be back and on speaking terms with the humans of Kakariko Village. He can propel you to the roof of Barnes’ Bomb Shop. This way, you don’t need to climb the store’s interior!

The Goron you spoke to in the hot springs has a store opposite this Goron, but the store is only open between dusk and dawn. Conversely, Malo Mart is open from dawn until dusk, so know what you’re shopping for before coming here during the night or day!

You should accept this Goron’s offer and land on Barnes’ store roof. Climb the promontory to the lookout shack where another Goron is checking out the view. Propel yourself up to the shack’s roof by climbing on the Goron’s back, landing on the ledge with the door, then ascending the ladder to the roof.

When you reach the roof, don’t talk to Talo immediately; instead, peer over the edge, to the left of the rickety fence. Below is a chest on a precarious ledge, but it’s almost impossible to reach from here. Note this chest and come back to the town when Cuccos are clucking around. Now speak with Talo, and he begs you to show off your bow-and-arrow skills.

You instantly arrive back at the thoroughfare, where Malo has some training requests for you to show off those skills. The first is an easy target he’s erected on the thoroughfare’s right side. Aim and fire!

The second target requires more dexterity. It’s above Malo Mart. Ready? Aim and fire!

From the top of the lookout shack, Talo asks you to strike the pole on the left corner of the shack. Take a steady aim, then fire.

Continue targeting the pole until you hit it; you can fire as many times as necessary (it usually takes only one or two tries). Malo is almost impressed. He’s happy to help bring your energy levels up with a Piece of Heart.

Now head into Malo Mart and check out the wares. There’s a new item you should have: the Hawkeye. It is purely optional, but it will help you spot those hard-to-see treasure chests!

Piece of Heart

You got Piece of Heart! Collect 1 more for another full Heart Container. Piece of Heart #9 of 45.

Store
Malo Mart (Second Visit)
Item Name Price Effect
Hawkeye 100 Rupees This eyewear allows you to see distant objects as if with the eyes of a hawk.
Wooden Shield 50 Rupees A simple shield made of wood; it will burn if touched by fire.
Red Potion 30 Rupees This replenishes eight life energy: keep it in an empty Bottle.

Hawkeye

You got the Hawkeye!

The Hawkeye is available as soon as you complete Dungeon #2: The Goron Mines. You can buy it only at Malo Mart. In addition to helping you spot treasure chests, it can help your aim during Talo and Malo’s bow practicing.

The Hawkeye acts like a telescope. When set to the Y button on the Wii U GamePad menu screen, it can zoom in and out at up to five times normal magnification. Combine it with the Hero’s Bow and you can fire arrows when using that weapon, too!

Maneuvering with the bow is not easy due to its cumbersome nature, and it is better to only use this telescopic function occasionally in offensive combat.

This is your viewing scope from a regular viewpoint, looking at the lookout shack.

This is your viewing scope with the Hawkeye zoomed in all the way. The red cross shows it is combined with the Hero’s Bow.

A frivolous way to spend money is to purchase another Wooden Shield, if the first burned up during your dungeon exploration. Do this to look at the different design on the shield’s front.

You can optionally visit Colin in the Elde Inn (and stock up on Rupees and Hearts by smashing stuff). Colin is awake and dealing with two maids, Beth and Luda, fussing over him. Leave them and head for Barnes’ Bomb Shop!

Barnes has managed to create some actual bombs after all this time! Bring a full wallet and speak to Barnes. He has only one type of bomb currently available, but he may be able to build two more later.

You got a Bag with Bombs!

Bombs

You got 30 Bombs!

Bombs

Bombs are an integral part of your offensive repertoire. Some creatures are affected only by bombs, and you must blow up many pieces of scenery to advance. For now, set your bombs to Y on the Wii U GamePad menu screen. Lift a bomb with Y, and set it down with Y or A (if you’re walking or running, you’ll throw it instead of placing it). Combine bombs with arrows to make a useful ranged weapon. Combine it with ZL on the Wii U GamePad menu screen.
