West of the North Castle is a stretch of land ringed by mountains, and the town there is Ruto. Like Rauru, you can reach it from the North Castle by following the road, so it is a safe place to stop. Be sure to go here too.

After you beat the Parapa Palace, be sure to stop at the town of Ruto before you head for the next palace. Besides restoring your life and magic, do not forget to meet the town magician and be given the Jump spell. Without it, there are places ahead you cannot get through.

リンクの冒険 (実業之日本社, 1987), p. 55, 101Leafy's translation

In the town of Ruto you learn where the Hammer is and where the Magic Container you should already have was. And if you ask where the goddess statue is and get it, you should be able to learn the Jump spell.
