The Great Hyrule (and Poe) Hunt: Ordona Province
Warp back to the Ordon Spring. You can transform into Link, or howl by the Horse Grass to summon Epona. Ride south to your home village, all the way to the pasture where you herded the goats. You can herd them again, and attempt to beat your record.
|
Step into the goat barn and you’ll see that the Postman is hiding out here, inspecting a recently chewed letter. The goats can have it! |
Dig Cavern #2Return to the barn in wolf form, and dig at the ground just behind the Postman. This leads to a dig cavern teeming with Rats. Slay all of them, but as soon as you spot a Chu dropping from the ceiling, transform into Link. This is an ultra-rare Gold Chu! Select an Empty Bottle, attack the Gold Chu, then scoop it! You now have Rare Chu Jelly! 
|
Rare Chu Jelly|
Rare Chu Jelly offers the most potent healing combination of any item in Hyrule! It replenishes all Hearts and briefly boosts attack strength! Put this away in your inventory so you don’t accidentally swig it! You can return here for more of this stuff, as long as you used the previous one. |
Smash some pots and slice grass for minor Rupees and Hearts before inspecting the room a little more closely. Lighting both the unlit torches at the north end of the room summons a chest with the Happy Link Stamp inside. Now you can leave.
Overworld Chest #48:
Happy Link Stamp
Missing Links
1. Run, Goat, Run!
This is one of the first times you can dismount from your horse, and slice into a goat or two. They seethe red with anger and can knock you off your feet (but you aren’t harmed)!
The Great Hyrule (and Poe) Hunt: Faron Province
Poe Soul #3
Your next Poe is deep in Faron Woods. Warp to either side of the murky mist, and then use Midna to leap to the central tree stump in the middle of the woods. Engage the Imp Poe here.
|
Poe Soul
Now gallop into the Faron Province area of Hyrule Field, where you found your first Golden Bugs. Race to the area under the bridge, where you spotted that chest earlier. Bring out your Clawshot, fire it at the medallion in the bridge ceiling, then drop down and open the chest. Use the same medallion to escape.
Overworld Chest #49:
Orange Rupee (100)
Dig Cavern #3
After obtaining the chest from under the bridge, head to the circle of grass in the northern part of the area, and dig into a quiet and tranquil dig cavern. This hole is completely silent! However, this is a great fishing spot to snag everything other than fish! Boots, bags of Rupees, small wheels, and other flotsam and jetsam can be yours. Here is a complete list:
|
|
As you cross the plains (or any other location after you leave the Sacred Grove), the Postman comes huffing and puffing toward you with another two missives. The letter is from Telma, concerning a group of faithful heroes who have arrived at the bar and are waiting to meet you. Go there when you wish to continue your quest (Task #7).
|
Letter #7
Poe Soul #4
Stay in this field until the sun goes down, and you can race to the middle of this field, to a raised area near a tree, overlooking the path. An Imp Poe waits for you here. Defeat the Bokoblins and Kargaroks first, to make your Poe combat easier. Then strike!
|
The Great Hyrule (and Poe) Hunt: Kakariko Gorge
Poe Soul #5
Continue your travels into the Kakariko Gorge, and head up the sloping hill next to the road, toward the single tree and fenced area. Defeat the Kargaroks flying about before turning your attention to this Imp Poe.
|
After you've defeated the Imp Poe, dig around at the spots you previously found (when you were following the scent). Also locate a group of Guays circling this tree, and chew or slice each one. The tree rains down Rupees after the last is slain.
|
You can also attempt to Clawshot to the medallion on the rock in the middle of the bottomless gorge, as there’s still a chest to open around here. The problem is that you’ll plummet to an inky doom if you do! This area requires a Double Clawshot. Come back when you find one. |
By now, a new menace has arrived in Kakariko Gorge: Purple, Blue, Yellow, and Red Chus. They shift about in the northern part of the zone and aren't that aggressive. You can ride over them to easily dispatch them, but you need to dismount and scoop if you want their Jelly!
Poe Soul #6
Don’t leave the Kakariko Gorge until you enter the Lantern Cavern I, and journey to the dead end in the northeastern corner. Take the left fork and prepare to tackle a Poe in the dead-end area.
|
The Great Hyrule (and Poe) Hunt: Kakariko Village
Head to Kakariko Village (as Link to avoid alarm), and speak to Beth, who's standing near the sanctuary on the thoroughfare. Beth tells you that Prince Ralis is depressed and hanging out at the graveyard. Visit him later.
|
Transforming into the wolf can be difficult in populated areas; Midna won’t allow you to if there’s a possibility of scaring a pedestrian, but everything is based on line-of-sight. You can still transform if you (for example) head around a corner, so no one can see you! |
First though, you're cordially invited to talk to Gor Liggs, outside of the Malo Mart! He asks whether you've spoken to his brothers in Castle Town, who are running short of Hot Springwater. They have loads of it, but the bridge needs repairing. Perhaps you could donate?
Head into the Malo Mart to see Gor Ebizo, who's jingling a donation box. He tells you the Castle Town shops are price-gouging! Malo Mart is preparing a relief plan: Phase One: Repair the broken bridge to improve traffic. Phase Two: Buy Chudley's Emporium and sell products at reduced prices!
Of course, this doesn't come cheap; the bridge costs 1,000 Rupees to repair! Donate all of this, as soon as possible, because the results are well worth it! Put all your available Rupees into this donation box.
Prince Ralis is standing by his father’s grave. He realizes who you are. The young prince lacks confidence, though. Remember his location for later, and leave via the graveyard.
Step to Barnes’ Bomb Shop, where the proprietor has created a brand new model: a Bombling! Try this remote bomb out. Bomb Arrows are more useful, however.

Bombling
You got a Bombling!
The Great Hyrule (and Poe) Hunt: Death Mountain Trail
Head up the Death Mountain Trail next, and when you reach the rocky clearing where the Wind Stone is, turn and locate this alcove with the vine hanging from it. Clawshot to this point, and climb up. Then draw your sword because there’s a Chu in here! The type of Chu is random. It could be Yellow, Red, Purple, Blue, or Gold!
|
The Chu hides on the alcove’s ceiling. If the rare Gold Chu is lurking there, you’ll see faint sparkles when you look up from the ground. That way you know you can scoop an impressive elixir! |
You can now teleport to the base of Death Mountain, and enter the elevator area in wolf form. Explore some dig spots to unearth blue (5) and yellow (10) Rupees, plus Hearts.
Use the elevator to ascend to the Goron Mines (Dungeon 2) entrance. At the sumo wrestling circle, you can meet Gor Coron again. You can also meet Darbus for the first time since you fought his fiery alter ego, Fyrus!
Don’t forget to enter Dungeon 2, and work your way to the Mine Loading Dock and claim Treasure Chest #17. This is your earliest opportunity, as you can now use the Clawshot, shoot up to the mesh, and clamber onto the previously inaccessible platform. The prize is the U Hylian Letter Stamp.
Leave the mines, either by carefully descending, or leaping down from the entrance. Can you jump from here with a Cucco?
Poe Soul #7
On your way up or down the trail (at night), stop at the Goron by the second barricade, and ask him to launch you to the rocky slope above. Turn and head south, until you see the bobbing light, then face and defeat the Imp Poe up here. Use Midna’s area-attack; it’s safer than jumping, as you can fall back down to the trail.
|
Poe Soul #8
Your next Poe is back in Kakariko Village. At night, find him floating above the remains of Barnes’ bomb shack. Use the interior, a Goron, or a Cucco to reach this path, then face the fiend and gnash on his stolen soul!
|
Poe Soul #9
Stay in this area, and follow the snaking pathway up the promontory, all the way to the lookout shack at the northern end of the village. The platform the shack is on houses your next ethereal Poe foe. Bring out the bite, and snatch that soul!
|
Missing Links
1. Cucco Chatter
If you’re roaming Kakariko Village in wolf form, you can talk to any of the Cuccos and hear their side of the story! It changes depending on how rough you’ve been to any of them!
Poe Soul #10
Head down the thoroughfare, around the sanctuary, and into the graveyard. Nighttime is when you’ll find this Poe, floating eerily through the gravestones. Sharpen your fangs and have at him! You’re halfway to Jovani’s target!
|
Poe Soul #11
Although you can’t spot him normally, there’s a cunningly hidden Poe. The pushable gravestone on the graveyard’s right side houses him! Shove him into the open, then leap and finish him with your fangs.
