Before you start

Standalone adventure featuring Hyrule and Lorule. Item rental and wall merging allow a more flexible dungeon order than A Link to the Past.

Lorule allows several dungeon orders. A guide route is a suggestion, not the game’s only mandatory sequence.

Main route & dungeon order

An ordered progression route. Use the stated coverage to distinguish this overview from a room-by-room solution.

  1. Stage 1

    After Eastern Palace, use wall merging to open new paths. Rent the required tools from Ravio, then complete the remaining Hyrule pendant dungeons: House of Gales and Tower of Hera.

  2. Stage 2

    Three pendants grant the Master Sword. Hyrule Castle leads to Yuga and access to Lorule; wall fissures connect the two worlds.

  3. Stage 3

    Rescue seven sages in Lorule’s dungeons. One possible route begins with Thieves’ Hideout, Dark Palace and Swamp Palace; Skull Woods, Ice Ruins, Desert Palace and Turtle Rock follow as tools become available.

  4. Stage 4

    Seven rescued sages open Lorule Castle. Buy and upgrade frequently used rented items beforehand. The final Yuga-Ganon battle combines arena combat, wall sections and light arrows.

Collection goals & secrets

Maiamais, heart pieces, bottles, Master Ore, stamina/equipment upgrades and optional minigames. Rented items return on defeat; purchased ones remain.
