Where to find

Graveyard

I've piled up dirt for the diggin' spots, so check
any pile where ya got a good feelin' about it.

OK, it's 10 rupees if ya wanna dig somewhere new.
Or didja need somethin' else from me?

  • Let's dig here.

  • Where to look...

  • I'm done playing.

  • Never mind.

Leave it to me!

When you walk by

Nope!

Hrm... Looks like we dug up all the spots
I prepared.

Thanks for playing lots, kid.

If ya want another go at the Grave-Diggin' Tour,
I'll get it goin' for ya. Just come talk to me again!

When you walk by

Well, that's somethin'.

When you walk by

Not bad.

When you walk by

Pretty good.

When you walk by

Good one!

When you walk by

Wouldja look at that!

Hm, something hard's buried here...

I'll dig if ya give me an extra five rupees. You in?

  • Dig, dig, dig!

  • Don't dig.

Okey dokes, I'm diggin'!

Hoo-whee! We got ourselves a big win!

My most prized treasure...the shiny rock!

I dug it up, but it's all yours. Take it before
someone else tries to nab it from ya!

Phew... We got our big win, so the Grave-Diggin'
Tour's over.

If you wanna play again, give me a holler.

Wait, kid, you don't have enough rupees.

Go cut some grass or somethin' and get
more money!

Eh? No diggin'?

But this is the best part of the Heart-Poundin' Grave-
Diggin' Tour...

Let's see... I'll dig if ya give me an extra 10 rupees.
You in?

  • Dig, dig, dig!

  • Don't dig.

Hmmm, this looks tough. I'll dig if ya shell out an
extra 20 rupees!

  • Dig, dig, dig!

  • Don't dig.

Huh? Just a little rock... Well, shoot.

Didja get yer hopes up?

Bet you were thinkin'...

I got one! Har har!

That's just how life goes sometimes.

Looks like it was just a big rock.

Hrm... I already dug this spot earlier.

Lemme return your rupees.

Wanna dig here? It's 10 rupees for one dig.

  • Let's dig!

  • I'll pick another spot.

Heh heh! Your allowance is precious, innit?
Spend wisely!

This spot...feels like something hard was
buried here.

You wanna dig here? One time'll cost ya
10 rupees.

  • Let's dig!

  • I'll pick another spot.

Hang on. We already dug here.

...It's hard here. Too hard. Go find a place
with dirt!

It's too hard there. I deal in dirt! Don't forget it!

Dirt is piled up in areas suitable for digging, so
keep an eye out as yer walkin' around.

Make sense, kid? Check the dirt piles!

If I'm nearby to check the spot, I'll dig for ya.

What comes out...is a surprise!

I'll be takin' a 10-rupee fee every time I dig
somewhere new though. Got anythin' else
for me?

  • Let's dig here.

  • Where to look...

  • I'm done playing.

  • Never mind.

Play again sometime.

Say! Hang on... You're already out of rupees?

Y'know, a great way to earn back your rupees is by
finding more on the tour!

Once the sun's back down, I'll be here at the
tombstone square, so come again then!

It's morning now, so today's Heart-Poundin'
Grave-Diggin' Tour
's over.

I'm bushed. I'll be heading home.

It's sleepy time for toddlers, isn't it? Come on, go
on home!

Ol' Dampé's on break right now! Come on, go
on home!

Today's Grave-Diggin' Tour's over. Didn't ya check
the sign out front?

What are you doin' in my house?

If you wanna do the diggin' tour, come back to
the graveyard at night.

Now, scram!

Bargin' into someone else's place... Who the heck
raised you, anyhow?

What's with that mask? Lookin' at it makes me
feel weird.

The big prize is gone—done! You already found it.
But did ya still wanna do the Heart-Poundin'
Grave-Diggin' Tour?

  • I want to play!

  • Tell me how to play!

  • No, thanks.

Alright, let's have some fun!

Oh right, the tour is held at the tombstone
square
, so if you go too far, it'll end.

Now...let's get diggin'!

I'll prepare diggin' spots in the tombstone square.
Just check whichever spot you think is "the one"!

Once I'm near the spot, I'll dig for ya.

What comes out...is a surprise!

Ah... Then there's the matter of money. I'll be
takin' a fee of 10 rupees every time I dig in a new
spot. Got it?

  • Got it!

  • Explain it again?

  • I'll pass.

That's the spirit! So, you wanna play?

  • Yes, please!

  • I'll pass.

Izzat so... Well, I'll be here for a while, so talk to
me again if you change your mind.

No prob. Lemme lay it out for ya. Now listen up!

Sure, I'll tell you all about it! So, look. Playin' is easy.

If you don't play a lot as a kid, you'll turn out to be
a lousy adult.

So, wanna try out the Heart-Poundin' Grave-
Diggin' Tour
?

  • I want to play!

  • Tell me how to play!

  • No, thanks.

It's the nighttime event only a few folks know of.
I host it here in the tombstone square.

Diggin' enthusiasts and nondiggin' enthusiasts
are welcome!

So... You curious about the Heart-Poundin' Grave-
Diggin' Tour
?

  • I want to play!

  • Tell me how to play!

  • No, thanks.

On my way.

I'm a-comin'!

Gimme a minute.

Hey! That area isn't part of the tour.

Unless... Are you already done playing?

  • Yeah, I'm done.

  • I'll keep playing.

Eh? Quittin' already...

I'll be hanging around here at night, so if you

Ya can't hit me.

Won't work on me.

What're ya tryin' to pull?

Yanno I'm a ghost, right?

So bright!

I can't see!

I don't like bright stuff...

Oh?

Eh?

Ah...

Is it that hot in here?

What're ya doin'?!

No use.

Won't work on me.

What're ya tryin' to pull?

Yanno I'm a ghost, right?

Wearing the Keaton Mask

I hear that mask's popular with kids. Can't say I
understand any of that.

Wearing the Skull Mask

Yikes! What's with the face?! Phew, just a mask.
I may not look it, but I'm a sensitive guy, y'know.

Wearing the Spooky Mask

That mask can't hold a candle to ol' Dampé's face,
but...it ain't half bad.

Wearing the Bunny Hood

That's based on a whatchamacallit, right? Can't
for the life of me remember the name...

Wearing the Mask of Truth

Eh? The design work on that one looks like it's from the
Sheikah people...

Wearing the Goron Mask

A Goron customer, eh? ...Oh. It's just a mask.

Bet those fellas would be happy even if I dug up
a rock. Maybe I should pitch the tour to them...

Wearing the Zora Mask

A Zora customer, eh? ...Oh, it's just a mask.

They take themselves pretty seriously. I never
know how to talk to 'em.

Wearing the Gerudo Mask

A Gerudo customer, eh? ...Oh, it's just a mask.

They always struck me as the wealthy types. You
got me all excited there, kid.

Wearing the Fairy-Kid Mask

Hey, it's a mask of a cute-lookin' girl. I get the
feeling it's based off a princess somewhere.

Wearing the Princess Mask

Hey, it's a mask of a cute-lookin' boy. Folks used to
call me cute a lot way back when too.

As an adult

Month 〇, Day ×

For a while now, no customers have been coming
by for the Heart-Pounding Grave-Digging Tour.

I wonder if the kid in that weird green outfit will
ever come back...

If you don't play while you're a kid, you'll regret it
once you're an adult.

Month 〇, Day △

Nobody's been by, and I'm bored outta my skull,
so I decided to dig my own grave.

Figure it's not a bad spot to hide that treasure I
found the other day.

As I understand it, this treasure is related to
the Sheikah.

When you use it, it stretches out real long, and
then if you hold on tight, you'll zoom over to
where it went!

I wanna show it off, but I'm too old for a thing like
this and feel embarrassed, so I'll keep it a secret.
Maybe I'll take it with me to the grave.

Month 〇, Day □

Ol' Dampé's grave is dug!

I made something amazing, if I do say so myself,
but it'll be sad if no one notices.

I did a special something to my tombstone...
(That you can only see at night... Heh heh!)

And I gotta remember to take the treasure that
shrinks and stretches
with me into the tomb.

Month 〇, Day ×

It's been such a while since any customers
have come by for the Heart-Pounding Grave-
Digging Tour
.

Maybe I should write something on the sign like...
"Rupees galore! Exciting treasures too!"?

Anyhow, I'm feeling pretty bored today. I guess I'll
go dig some holes. Maybe find some treasure. All
by my lonesome.

  • The end.

  • Go to the next page.

  • Stop reading.

As a child

Month 〇, Day ×

No customers today for the Heart-Pounding
Grave-Digging Tour
, once again... Maybe I'm not
advertising enough?

People could be getting rupees... So many rupees.

Month 〇, Day △

The whole rupee thing was feeling a bit boring,
so I've prepared some action-packed spots!

Who knows what you'll dig up? Exciting!

Month 〇, Day □

I was leaning up against a tombstone to take a
load off, and the thing moved on me...

I fixed it up neat and proper though. I can't stand
it when things are out of place.

  • The end.

  • Stop reading.

  • Continue reading.

It's starting soon, so please be patient.

Cut it out! Ol' Dampé's getting ready for the
Grave-Diggin' Tour.

It's starting soon, so please be patient.

Makin' me repeat myself... Ol' Dampé's taking a
load off.

Go find some daytime ghosts to play with
or somethin'.

Knock it off! Ol' Dampé's taking a breather.

Go find some daytime ghosts to play with
or somethin'.

What, you really don't want my treasure?

It's got ties to the Sheikah, yanno!

You can't get it anywhere else—it's one of a kind.
Can't emphasize enough just how special it is.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention that if you
forget about me...

I'll haunt ya!

I mean, I'm already a ghost, so it just makes sense...

Alrighty, I'll be waitin' in my grave!

And now I go poof.

Come on, bucko! Come race, will ya?

So you know, your current best is time!

I don't have my treasure anymore, but beatin' yer
best—that's the real treasure!

So, ya wanna start the race?

  • Yup!

  • Maybe later.

Heh heh, atta boy.

Alrighty, let's go!

aaand...

go!

Heh heh, then let's get goin'.

On your mark, get set...

Aw, you're no fun...

But...there's a prize in it for ya though... What
a shame.

After hearin' all that, you're still backing out?

Talking again

You really love racin', eh, buddy boy? Yer here to
play again, right?

By the way, your current best is time!

You already won my treasure, so I'm short on
things to give ya, but this isn't about that, is it?

Come on, let's race, buddy boy! If you can reach
the goal within one minute, you'll get a prize!

I think I still had a pretty heart-shaped stone...

You ready?

  • Yup!

  • Maybe later.

Talking again

This time I ain't holdin' back, but I'll give you a
prize if you can keep up until the end.

If you can reach the goal within one minute,
I'll give ya somethin' good.

I think I had a pretty heart-shaped stone layin' around...

Talking again

Hey there, buddy boy, how's the Hookshot
treatin' ya?

Bit of a bummer earlier, huh?

But I know you've got it in ya. You haven't really
shown me your true skills.

Why not try again for my humdinger of a
treasure
? Feelin' ready?

  • Yup!

  • Humdinger?

  • Maybe later.

You sure do love hearin' about treasure!

It reaches real far...

grabs on ta somethin'...

and then WHOOSH!

It's mighty useful.

It popped up when I was diggin' in this area, so it
might have somethin' to do with the Sheikah.

Anyhow, it's mine now since I dug it up.

It's Ol' Dampé's finest treasure!

So? You up for the challenge?

  • Yup!

  • Maybe later.

Ah, curious, are ya? Can't say I'm surprised.

This particular treasure...

Huh? You really don't want it? It's my finest
treasure though...

But I got a real humdinger of a treasure... What
a shame.

Back again, bucko!

Can't just sit it out when a humdinger of a
treasure
's on the line, am I right?

Ya gotta keep up with me until the end.

You ready?

  • Yup!

  • Humdinger?

  • Maybe later.

Heh heh heh... You want my humdinger of a
treasure
, don't ya?

Then ya gotta keep up with me until the end.
You ready?

  • Yup!

  • Humdinger?

  • Maybe later.

Hey there, bucko... How're yer legs feelin'? Heh
heh heh.

Way back when, I used to do this thing called
the "Heart-Poundin' Grave-Diggin' Tour" in
the graveyard.

But now, well, I'm a ghost, so I decided to change
things up. Now it's all about the Dampé Race.

I was busy diggin' my own grave when I stumbled
upon these ruins.

And while I was diggin' every which way, I made
a nifty little tunnel system.

If you can keep up with me till the end...

there's a humdinger of a treasure.

And it'll be all yours!

Oh, by the way, I've never been the patient
type. So if I can't see you for a while, you'll
be disqualified.

Is yer heart ready?

  • Yup!

  • Humdinger?

  • Maybe later.

What is it? You interested in racin' again?

  • I want to race!

  • Maybe another time.

There we are—atta boy!

I'll head back to the entrance, so follow me!

I see...

Well, I'll be waiting in my grave, so come race
again sometime.

Alrighty, time to poof!

Somethin' the matter? The Hookshot's in that
treasure chest.

Never mind me. Just take it and go.

You did it, bucko!

Being able to keep up with me is no small feat.

Heh heh heh! As promised, I'll be givin' ya my
pride and joy—my special treasure.

I call it...the Hookshot!

Aim somewhere that you can latch on to, and if
ya shoot...

It's real useful, and it's shiny too!

It sure is all o' that, but I don't really have much
use for it, so have at it.

Bein' a ghost an' all, I can't very well use it anymore, can I?

And yer time is...time!

You reached the goal within one minute, so take
the treasure!

You reached the goal within one minute! Don't be
shy now—go on and take the treasure!

Whoa! You reached the goal within one minute.

I knew you had it in ya, bucko!

This is the most exciting thing that's happened to
me since I became a ghost!

As promised, you get to lay your mitts on my
treasure now. Go on, it's all yours!

And yer time is...time!

Since you went over one minute, I've got a
participation prize for ya.

If you want the treasure, come race again!

You were slower than the target time of one
minute
, so I can't give you the treasure.

Come race again and try to break your record!

Hmm... That took longer than one minute...

I changed up the course from how I had it and
made it extra tricky, so it makes sense.

I'll give you a reward, but your time wasn't quite
good enough to hand over my treasure.

Come on back to race again and try to break your
record next time!

Whoa-ho! This is...

a new record, bucko!

Plus it's within one minute—the target time! This
is the most exciting thing that's happened to me
since I became a ghost!

Here, I've got my special treasure ready for ya, so
take it!

I'll be here, so come race again sometime.

Whoa-ho! This is...

a new record, bucko!

But you didn't make it to the goal within the
target time. So close!

You almost laid yer mitts on my special treasure.
Anyhow, don't get too down about it.

Here's a regular prize to celebrate you breaking
your record.

The target is within one minute... I'm sure you'll
get it next time. Come try again, y'hear?

Whoa-ho! This is...

a new record, bucko!

Look at you, all young and spry. Here ya go.

Come race again sometime!

Hmm, didn't break the record...

It wasn't a bad run, but I'm sure you can do even
better, eh, buddy boy?

I'll give you a prize, but come back again to try to
break your record!

It's within one minute, which is the target! Hoo-
whee! This is the most excitement I've had since
becoming a ghost.

I've got a special treasure I prepared for ya.

I'll be waitin' here, so I hope you'll play
again sometime.

Hm? Somethin' the matter?

The exit's at the end of this room.

There's a target you can grab with your fancy-
schmancy Hookshot, so aim there and shoot!

Go on, give it a whirl!

Oh yeah, watch your step up ahead. The stairs by
the exit are fallin' apart.

Although as long as you have the Hookshot, you
should be fine.

I'll always just be...down here, so come back and
challenge me sometime.

When I built this tomb, I dug up some pretty
good stuff... And there's still plenty left!

Hey, yer off course!

Now I gotta start it all over again. You can try
again, if ya want.

Heh heh heh! Couldn't keep up, eh, bucko?

It's too bad, but I gotta disqualify ya. You can try
again, if ya want.

Goooal!

Eh? You alright there, buddy boy?

Don't feel bad. Shake it off and try again, if
ya want.

Eh? Where ya goin', bucko? The goal's this way.

When you walk by

Lookin' for challengers!

When you walk by

Got a treasure for ya.

When you walk by

Welcome.

When you walk by

Good on ya!

When you walk by

Eh?
