Zoras river

You will come across the owl again. He informs you that Zora will only let a person in if he has some connection with the royal family. Now blow up the rocks blocking your path with a bomb. See the tree to your left? Roll up to it and a Skulltula will fall out of it and you should get your 19th Gold Skulltula.

Go up the path, and you will see a guy sitting. If you speak to him, he will offer you a Magic Bean for 10 Rupees. Buy this bean and plant it on the hold next to him. This will eventually grow to be a beanstalk.

Now grab a Cucco over your head. If you recall this will enable you to jump further, so now you should be able to easily jump across the river. Make your way to the east until you see the waterfall. Now jump northward, and now you should see a Piece of Heart up on a platform. At the top of the hill just go straight and go across the river to reach the north side. Now head east and you should come across a log on your right.

When you reach the ledge, throw your Cucco up on the ledge then climb up. Grab your Cucco again and jump into the water beside you. Throw your Cucco up to the next ledge and climb up. From here head down south as far down as you can, then face southwest. You should see a small platform with a ladder coming up. Use the Cucco to glide to that ledge. Now throw the Cucco in the river.

Upon reaching the top, turn around and jump across to the platform at the south side. Go down the hole in this platform and you will see a chest with a Red Rupee inside. Now leave this cave and go back across again.

Notice the huge boulder. If you blow it up with a bomb, you will discover a way to the Fairy fountain if you need more health. Leave the fountain, and grab the Cocoo walking about and go to the east side. There is a thin bridge leading north to the other platform. Face north and press the L button to center your view, walk across this bridge very slowly with the Cucco above your head. Now from here you can jump and glide down to get the Piece of Heart. In case the Cucco you had just dropped off and died, go back to the beginning of the river and grab the original one. Take this Cucco along the same way you did with the other one. Do everything as before but instead of you facing southwest and jumping down to the platform turn around and throw your Cucco across the water onto the hill then go across and get it.

Go along the path, until you see a series of bridges. Stay on these land bridges with Cucco in hand and make your way to the waterfall, just in front of it. Keep going up on that path to the highest part you can possibly reach. When you turn around and face west you will see another heart. Jump down using the Cucco so that you can glide and grab hold of the Piece of Heart.

If it’s day time now play the Sun's Song so that it becomes night time, then go down in front of the waterfall - the water isn't very deep here so you should be able to run around freely. Directly below where you collected the Piece of Heart there is a ladder where you will find an enemy. Defeat this enemy and pick up the Gold Skultulla. Now go back to the part were there was a log to your right, around the middle of the place. Climb up onto that log and you will be informed that you are being looked at by frogs. Pull out your fairy Ocarina and play Sari’s Song and the frogs will like it so much that they will give you a Purple Rupee. Get more purple rupees by playing Zelda's Lullaby, the Sun's Song and Epona's Song.

Now go back to the beginning of Zora’s river and speak to a rather stout person there. You should buy Magic Beans from him using the Rupees you got from the frogs. Now go back to Hyrule field.

Make your way to Kakariko Village and once there turn right to go to the house of Skulltula. You will see another guy here with a broken curse since you have collected twenty Skulltulas. He gives you the Stone of Agony which makes your controller shake when you get close to a secret.

Now return to Hyrule Castle Town and right at the entrance you should find a door which upon entering you will see a number of pots. Use the charge up spin attack to destroy all the pots in this room. Fill up your Adult Wallet with 200 Rupees and return to Zora's River. Buy as much Magic Beans as you can afford.

Return to the large waterfall in the area with all those natural criss-crossing bridges. When you stand in front of the waterfall you should see a grey square. Use your Fairy Ocarina while on top of the grey area and play the song which connects you to the royal family, Zelda's Lullaby (left, up, right, left, up, right.) Jump across the gap and take the door which leads right into Zora's Domain.
