1

Cross Hyrule Field

Leave Kokiri Forest and follow the field north to the drawbridge. If the gate closes at night, wait for daylight.

2

Meet Malon and enter the grounds

Talk to Malon near the market/castle path, get the egg, climb the vines and avoid guards. Wake Talon with the hatched Cucco, move the milk crates and crawl through the drain.

3

Courtyard stealth

Move behind hedges/statues and only cross a guard’s view when his back is turned. Reach Zelda at the far end.

Leave with Impa

After Zelda gives the letter, Impa teaches Zelda’s Lullaby and takes you outside. The letter now opens the Death Mountain gate in Kakariko.
