Story

What happens in Hyrule Field in the main story, with the lines from its cutscenes. All the steps in order are on the quests page.

Step 5 (Young Link)

Cross the field to the castle town. An owl gives advice on the way.

Kaepora Gaebora

Step 7 (Young Link)

Meet the princess in the courtyard. She tells Link of her dream and gives him a letter, and her guardian teaches him the royal family's song and leads him out.

You brave lad... We must protect this beautiful land of Hyrule!

Take a good look at that mountain. That is Death Mountain, home of the Gorons. They hold the Spiritual Stone of Fire.

At the foot of Death Mountain you will find my village, Kakariko. That is where I was born and raised.

You should talk to some of the villagers there before you go up Death Mountain.

The song I just taught you has some mysterious power. Only Royal Family members are allowed to learn this song.

Remember, it will help to prove your connection with the Royal Family.

The Princess is waiting for you to return to the castle with the stones. All right. We're counting on you!

Step 14 (Young Link)

Back at the castle, the princess flees on a white horse and the man from her dream gives chase. She throws her ocarina into the moat for Link.

Arrrrgh! I lost her!

You, over there! Little kid!

You must have seen the white horse gallop past just now... Which way did it go?! Answer me!!

So, you think you can protect them from me... You've got guts, kid.

Heh heh heh... You want a piece of me?! Very funny! I like your attitude!

Pathetic little fool! Do you realize who you are dealing with?!

I am Ganondorf! And soon, I will rule the world!

I saw you as I was escaping from the castle with my attendant, Impa.

I thought I should entrust the Ocarina to you... I thought that would be our best chance...

Step 27 (Adult Link)

Beat the King of Evil at the top of the tower, escape the falling castle, and face him one last time. The Sages seal him away and the princess sends Link back to his own time.

Thank you, Link...

Thanks to you, Ganondorf has been sealed inside the Evil Realm!

Thus, peace will once again reign in this world...for a time.

All the tragedy that has befallen Hyrule was my doing...

I was so young...I could not comprehend the consequences of trying to control the Sacred Realm.

I dragged you into it, too. Now it is time for me to make up for my mistakes...

You must lay the Master Sword to rest and close the Door of Time...

However, by doing this, the road between times will be closed...

Link, give the Ocarina to me...

As a Sage, I can return you to your original time with it.

When peace returns to Hyrule...

It will be time for us to say good-bye...

Now, go home, Link. Regain your lost time!

Home... where you are supposed to be... the way you are supposed to be...

Thank you... Link...

Good-bye....

The wide plain at the centre of Hyrule, where the story spreads out; as an adult Link hunts Big Poes here.

ハイラルの中央に広がる壮大な平原

A Business Scrub in a hole between the four fences outside Lake Hylia sells a Piece of Heart for 10 Rupees.

Between the four fences outside Lake Hylia is a hole where a single Business Scrub will sell you a Piece of Heart for 10 Rupees.

Time of day passes in the open; when Link enters a town it has the same time of day as the field.

Wann immer Link eine Stadt betritt, wird er die gleiche Tageszeit erleben, die auch in der Steppe herrschte.

Der offizielle Nintendo Spieleberater: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Nintendo of Europe, 1998), p. II, Translated by 101Leafy

A huge plain linking the regions: the town and Hyrule Castle to the north, Lake Hylia to the south, Gerudo Valley to the west, Link's village to the east near Zora's Domain, and Lon Lon Ranch in the middle.

Er betritt die Hylianische Steppe, eine riesige Tiefebene, welche die verschiedenen Landesteile miteinander verbindet.

Der offizielle Nintendo Spieleberater: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Nintendo of Europe, 1998), p. 26, Translated by 101Leafy

To enter a town at night Link has to wait in the field until dark; once inside, the time of day stops changing until he leaves and waits for a new day.

Will Link eine Stadt bei Nacht betreten, so muß er warten, bis es Nacht wird in der Steppe. Hat er die Stadt betreten, ändert sich dort die Tageszeit nicht mehr.

Der offizielle Nintendo Spieleberater: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Nintendo of Europe, 1998), p. 27, Translated by 101Leafy

At night the undead climb from their graves in the field; skeletons and ghosts are easy to beat and leave rupees or other useful items.

Skelette, Geister und andere Kreaturen trachten ihm gierig nach dem Leben.

Der offizielle Nintendo Spieleberater: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Nintendo of Europe, 1998), p. 27, Translated by 101Leafy

The only place to find Big Poes.

Allerdings sind die begehrten Geister nur in den Weiten der Hylianischen Steppe anzutreffen und zudem noch sehr schwer einzufangen.

A grotto under the lone tree south of the river leads to deep water with a Piece of Heart.

Er legt eine Bombe und öffnet so eine Erdhöhle, in der in einem tiefen See ein Herzteil wartet.
