Task 5: Thoroughly Explore Castle Town and Southern Field

Castle Town in the Daylight

Wander into the town’s West Road and you can talk to the people chatting instead of listening to their spirits. These two are mentioning Prince Ralis. He’s the next person to visit if you aren’t concerned about collections, masses of Rupees, and incredible Heart Container assembling!

Continue to the right, and you’ll pass a tall wizened man who’s praying for peace in Hyrule. Apparently, this takes Rupees. Although you may be tempted to ignore him, if you’re after a special prize, donate 50 Rupees at a time, totalling 1,000 Rupees, to his cause. Come back here in a moment.

Charlo: Charlo stands near the goat pens and collects donations and offers devotions for a charge. Some think this is some kind of scam, but to those with deep pockets, he offers a special reward….

You can enter the city fountain area and walk to the small band of musicians playing their lilting melodies in the northeast corner of this courtyard.

Head around the fountain in a circle to listen to the old ladies gabbing again; this time, however, they think you’re a tourist and urge you to check out the spirit cave!

Visiting Chudley’s Emporium

The next place you must visit is the general store in the southeast part of town. The people outside tell you it’s very snooty. So snooty, in fact, that the door attendant won’t let you in with those disgusting mud-coated boots. You’ll need to meet the shoe-shine boy, Soal, who cleans your boots for 10 Rupees. He’s just outside, by the steps.

Soal A small boy who makes a little cash by polishing shoes in the Castle Town streets. He’s making a good living since the celebrated store owner Chudley came to town with his exclusive wares and ludicrous prices!

You enter the newly opened Chudley’s, where only the finest and most incredibly expensive goods are on display. You’ve heard about price gouging, but this is ridiculous. The posh proprietor looks down his nose at you and offers the following wares at incredibly expensive prices.

Store

Chudley’s Fine Goods and Fancy Trinkets Emporium

Item	Name	Price	Effect
	Arrows (10)	10,000 Rupees	Constructed of the lightest materials, these are safe for all skill levels.
	Blue Potion	40,000 Rupees	This potion restores health through its aromatherapeutic qualities.
	Red Potion	12,000 Rupees	This red drink burns with a fiery color that ignites passion in the hearts of all who see it.
	Bombs	12,000 Rupees	A staple Barnes Co. product. It’s been a top seller for generations.
	Water Bombs	24,000 Rupees	This is a shop original. We’ve wrapped the explosive in fine leather.
	Pocket Bombling	36,000 Rupees	This dangerous pet is popular with the ladies in town.
	Magic Armor	400,000 Rupees	Armor for the richest and most precious customers who value their lives over their Rupees.

You can’t even find a wallet that holds even half the amount the arrows cost! These prices are truly outlandish, and you can’t buy any of the items. Don’t bother trying while Chudley is the owner of this place; it needs new management!

Chudley: About 30 years old, Chudley runs a very swanky store in Castle Town. He looks down on you as if you’re simply too common to be coming into an emporium as elegant as his. If you’re one of the Hyrule high rollers, though, he’s a simpering fool.

Wander back into the fountain area and check out the trio of townsfolk lounging around here. They like your outfit and reckon you’re here to check out the new tent that’s just been built on the west side of town.

The Goron Trading Post

Move to the southwest part of this central area. The large arched door is now open, and a place where three Gorons are hanging out is uncovered. Head through to the base of the stairs, where the small Goron you saw back at Kakariko Village tells you they’ve been unable to enter the town’s inner gate. You can pick up the following goods from this location.

Store

Goron Trading Post

Item	Name	Price	Effect
	Red Potion	30 Rupees	Adds 8 Hearts to your energy; from the small Goron at the base of the stairs
	Lantern oil	30 Rupees	Refills your Lantern; from the small Goron at the top of the stairs
	Arrows (30)	40 Rupees	Refills your Quiver; from the large Goron on the observation deck

Head to the top of the stairs, where another small Goron lies around. He mentions he has Lantern oil for sale. His father is on the observation deck, which affords an excellent view of the castle and town beyond. The small Goron’s father feels there’s something not quite right going on. Purchase arrows from him if necessary, and then leave this establishment.

Missing Links

1. The Crate Escape

Although you can’t brandish any weapons once inside this venue, you can smash the barrels and crates. There are blue (5) and yellow (10) Rupees and the odd Heart to find inside.

A Stroll Around the Southern Market Stalls

Exit the Goron’s trading post and visit the tea shop next door for a psychological conversation and a mention of the fortune-teller in town. After this chat, check the south thoroughfare.

Inspect the line of market stalls. The first one sells bread. It’s fresh, tasty, straight from the oven, and too expensive!

The grocer at the next store seems to think that although the people hide it well, they’re all still very frightened.

Move farther along the market stalls, and a soldier stops you. He asks if you know the whereabouts of Jovani. The guy has been missing so long, he’s turned into an urban legend. The fair-haired lady standing with the soldier is his lady friend. Or was.

You move to the flower stall, where you pluck a pretty flower and have the Rupees to pay for it this time. However, there’s no shopkeeper, so you put it back. Next is a soldier who gives you directions.

Move to the Gorons at this street’s southern end. The small Goron mentions his dad can’t get any Hot Springwater, so he just sits outside the eastern gate. The Goron asks you to speak with the Goron village elder about it. You can also check out the apples and speak to the storeowner on the opposite side.

Missing Links

1. Catnapping

If you wander near Jovani’s house, you can pick up any of the cats and play with the ball that’s in this area. Nothing happens, except the cats are exceedingly cute!

2. The Dog and Bone Man

Similarly, there are two cute puppies in the east and west alleys. You can pick them up and a nearby bone. Throw the bone so they play fetch. That’s just as cute!

3. Shifty Guy Standoff

Over on the eastern alley is a shifty-looking man looking north. He tells you there’s a guy across the way looking right at him! Head north to the medical center (which is locked) and talk to him. He tells you there’s a guy across the way looking right at him….

The Tent, the Castle, and the Mansion

Head to the western alley and inspect the tent area, where you can play fetch with the cute doggy. Outside, there are three girls waiting for the owner; he’s so handsome! Head into the tent if you dare.

Kili, Hanna, and Misha: These three 10-year-old girls are always out in a group, and they’re all in love with the same boy. Whoever can muster the nerve to complete the challenges inside the tent will win a fabulous prize!

Enter the tent and you’re greeted by Purlo, who asks you to step right up to play the STAR game for 10 Rupees! Simply leap through all the stars in the cage, and a fabulous prize awaits you! At the moment, the game is impossible. Come back here with a Clawshot and you’ll pay him back!

Exit the tent area, vowing to return to claim victory (there’s a special item to win if you do), and head south, turning the corner and stopping at Agitha’s castle. Ignore the rude boy outside the door and step inside.

Enter Princess Agitha’s castle and step inside her playroom. Well, it’s more of an insect zoo. Head over to the window at the room’s far end. You can optionally climb a ladder to an upstairs balcony, which is also filled with insect paraphernalia. Speak with the princess, and she tells you a story: Agitha is the princess of the bug kingdom and has invited 24 Golden Bugs to a formal ball, but none have shown up yet. She’s hoping you found some of her friends on your travels. Speak to her again. She asks if you have a bug. Time to offload those bugs you’ve found. Pick any of them (ideally one with a partner) and hand it over. The princess adds the bug to her collection (your insect screen now has a butterfly icon next to each bug you’ve given Agitha) and gives you a prize: the Big Wallet! Big Wallet You got the Big Wallet! You can now hold up to 1,000 Rupees!

The prizes don’t end there, either. The princess offers happiness if you bring her another bug. This translates to a purple Rupee (50).

The offer becomes great happiness if you bring her the other partner to each bug. This translates to an orange Rupee (100).

Princess Agitha: Around 10 years old, Agitha is a princess and lives alone in a tiny castle in town. She is an avid butterfly collector. She dresses in cutesy gothic fashions and firmly believes she is living in a fantasy world, where she’s the queen of the insects. She giggles, is excitable, and loves presents, especially if they’re creepy and crawly!

You should now speak to Princess Agitha and begin to offload all of the bugs in your collection. Don’t worry, you don’t need to grab them again and can still read about where you caught them, but there’s an extra special prize for collecting all 24 bugs and presenting them to her.

When your Big Wallet is filled with Rupees, leave Princess Agitha. Exit and head back to Charlo, the man who is praying for you. Although it may seem strange, we recommend you donate all 1,000 Rupees to him. That’s a total of 650 Rupees you’ve given him now.

Go back to Agitha’s Castle, where the party is in full swing, and produce more Golden Bugs from your travels. If you’ve been following this walkthrough, you can stock your Big Wallet up to 550 Rupees. Then head back to Charlo.

Charlo requires some additional cash, and don’t hesitate to donate! After you donate a total of 1,000 Rupees (which you’ll have to keep track of in your head or on a piece of paper), he blesses you with the spirit of love—another Piece of Heart!

Piece of Heart

You got Piece of Heart #18! Collect 2 more for another full Heart Container.

There’s no need to visit Charlo anymore, but keep coming back to Agitha. Drop off your remaining Golden Bugs if you need the Rupees, and then run to the house next door; this is Fanadi’s mansion, and it’s quite a palace!

Cross Fanadi’s palm with 10 Rupees and choose to hear the future. You can select either “Career” or “Love.” “Career” gives you a clue where to go next (in this case, Telma’s Bar). “Love” shows you the location of the nearest Piece of Heart (but you’ve found all the ones you currently can go for). Leave this place.

Madame Fanadi: Somewhere between 40 and 50 years old (even Fanadi herself is unsure, despite her supposed powers), Fanadi sits in her mansion, waiting for patrons to cross her palm with Rupees before she recalls some mostly dubious information for them. However, she can sometimes be accurate, if you can understand the doublespeak she mutters!

Exploration at the Southern Castle Town Hyrule Field

Head south for the first time, out of Castle Town, and into another part of Hyrule Field. Once you’re outside the town gate, pass under a pair of stone towers linked by an overhang with a grooved indent. A large chest sits between the two sets of exterior steps. Come back to claim treasure from this area later. For now, run down the steps for another spot of Golden Bug hunting.

Golden Bug: Female Ladybug Collection: 19 (of 24) Head down the western set of steps. Look closely at the three trees planted in the rectangular formal grass. This particular one has a small clump of grass where a bug is nestling. It usually hops off, so slowly follow, capture it, and keep it in your collection. Female Ladybug You caught a Female Ladybug! Bug fans love that golden color.

You should now inspect this entire area of the southern Hyrule Field, as this is your first opportunity to do so. First, exit the Castle Town steps, heading directly south to a blockade that a Goron is standing in front of. Another pesky rockfall is blocking the path from here to the next section of Hyrule Field. If the Goron had Hot Springwater to quench his thirst, he’d have the power to bore straight through this rubble!

Move away from the Goron and begin inspecting this entire area. The most interesting bit of scenery is the large hole in the ground to the west! Peer over the edge, and you’ll see a treasure chest sitting on a tiny alcove. There are Clawshot medallions everywhere! Alas, you can’t leap down and land on the alcove ledge, but you can jump into the rapids below.

Move to the opposite side of the field and investigate a small rock tower encased in vines. Amid the tall grass to the south is a nasty little Deku Baba to slay. Watch for a second Deku Baba close by too. Then prepare to shield block a dive-bombing Guay!

There’s an entire flock of these black birds soaring above the rock tower, so deal with any of them that swoop in; then climb to the top of the vines. Stand up, quickly block the bird attacks with your shield, and begin to pick them off one at a time. Your Bow, Slingshot, or Sword are all options, but targeting with ZL is the easiest way to slay. With the last Guay gone, a small ring of Rupees rains down from the sky.

There’s even more Rupees to seize if you place a bomb at the Bomb Rock to the side of the town steps, just north of the rock tower. Once it explodes, collect three green (1), three blue (5), and two yellow (10) Rupees from the remains.

Golden Bug: Male Ladybug Collection: 20 (of 24) Your climb and perhaps your eagle eyes (or the use of your Hawkeye) has allowed you to spot another Golden Bug that’s buzzing at the top of the rock tower. Use the Gale Boomerang to gather the insect from the tower once it flies around on the ground. Male Ladybug You caught a Male Ladybug! Bug fans love that golden color.

Missing Links

1. Grass Cutting at the Southern Gate

As always, there’s a tiny payoff for slicing through tall grass, and this place is no exception. Try the following places:

• Grass: The areas just south of the hole in the ground (Rupees)
• Grass: The areas just north of the hole in the ground (Rupees and Heart)
• Grass: The area to the south and east of the road (Rupee)
• Grass: The area to the east of the road (Rupee)
• Grass: The area north of the rock tower (Rupees)
