Chapter 11 is a clean-up chapter for child Link. Now that you have the Boomerang and Bombs you can go back for the collectibles that needed them. The best time to do this is right after you've collected all 3 Spiritual Stones, because a couple of these only show up once you have them.
This chapter covers 11 Gold Skulltulas, 5 Heart Pieces, current House of Skulltula rewards, the Song of Time, the Mask Shop side quest, the Great Fairy of Power, a long list of bag upgrades and finally the Master Sword. Everything is in the same order as our video at the bottom of this page, so you can follow along with it.
Heart Pieces & Gold Skulltulas Clean-Up
Zora Fountain Gold Skulltula
Now that you have the Boomerang after completing the Lord Jabu Jabu's Belly Dungeon, you can reach the Gold Skulltula hanging on the wall during the nighttime in Zora Fountain, slightly to the right of Lord Jabu Jabu, stand on the stone arch and use the Boomerang to retrieve the Token.
Buy 6 Magic Beans
On your way back through Zora Domain and down Zora River, stop at the Bean Seller and buy at least 6 Magic Beans. We plant 4 of them during this chapter (the other 2 you can buy later if you prefer as they won't be used yet). His price goes up every time you buy one, 10 Rupees, then 20, 30 and 40, so bring plenty of Rupees.
Each bean needs to be planted in a Soft Soil Spot as child Link. When you come back as adult Link, it will have grown into a moving plant that carries you to places you can't otherwise reach.
Kakariko Graveyard Gold Skulltula
Head to Kakariko Village Graveyard at night (play the Sun's Song if you need to change the time). Bhind the house on the right at the entrance of the Kakariko Graveyard, a Gold Skulltula is crawling on the stone wall, too high to reach. Defeat it and use the Boomerang to grab the Token.
Catch a Bug in an empty Bottle while you're passing through Hyrule Field. You'll need Bugs for the soft soil Gold Skulltulas in Gerudo Valley and Lake Hylia later in this chapter.
Plant a Magic Bean in the Graveyard
While you're in the graveyard, plant a Magic Bean in the Soft Soil Spot. This will be needed for a Heart Piece in a later chapter.
Echo Gem & Giant's Wallet
Go to the House of Skulltula in Kakariko. With 34 tokens you now have enough Gold Skulltulas for the 2nd and 3rd rewards.
- Echo Gem, this strange stone reacts when it's brought near Gold Skulltulas, reacting more the closer you get. It's an accessory, so equip it from the menu.
- Giant's Wallet, big enough to hold 1,000 Rupees.
The cursed family member can also give you hints about where to find more Gold Skulltulas.
Plant a Magic Bean on Death Mountain Trail
Head up to Death Mountain Trail and plant a Magic Bean in the Soft Soil Spot near the entrance to Dodongo's Cavern. This will also be needed in a later chapter for another Heart Piece.
Bigger Bomb Bag
Continue up to Goron City. A Goron keeps rolling around the middle floor, and if you can stop his wild rolling he gives you something great. Wait for him at the spot in front of the sign, and drop a Bomb in his path so it goes off as he rolls past. Once he stops, talk to him for the Bigger Bomb Bag.
Lon Lon Ranch Gold Skulltulas
Go to Lon Lon Ranch at night. This Gold Skulltula is on the wall of the ranch house. Defeat it and grab the Token with the Boomerang.
Still at night, also in Lon Lon Ranch, go into the building filled with crates. The Gold Skulltula is high up on the wall inside, so use the Boomerang again.
Hyrule Field & Grotto Gold Skulltulas
Just outside Lon Lon Ranch in Hyrule Field, roll into the tree shown in the picture below and a Gold Skulltula drops out.
Head south across Hyrule Field towards Lake Hylia and drop into the grotto in the small wooded area shown on the map. The Gold Skulltula inside only appears at night, behind the webs at the back of the grotto.
Gerudo Valley Gold Skulltulas & Heart Pieces
Go to Gerudo Valley at night. The Gold Skulltula is under the first bridge, on the cliff wall beside the waterfall. Use the Boomerang to defeat it and grab the Token.
Heart Piece, Cucco Glide to the Chest
Pick up the Cucco near the entrance of the valley, then jump off the edge and use it to glide across to the ledge with the chest. Open it for a Piece of Heart.
Use the Cucco again to glide down to the grassy ledge below, and release a Bottled Bug on the Soft Soil Spot to reveal a Gold Skulltula. Before you leave, plant a Magic Bean in the same soil.
Heart Piece, Behind the Waterfall
Drop down to the river at the bottom of the valley. The Piece of Heart is hidden behind the waterfall.
Lake Hylia Gold Skulltula & Magic Bean
Jump into the river in Gerudo Valley and the waterfall will carry you all the way down to Lake Hylia. Release a Bottled Bug on the Soft Soil Spot near the Lakeside Laboratory to reveal a Gold Skulltula, then plant a Magic Bean in the same soil.
Scarecrow's Song, Part 1
Talk to the scarecrow Bonooru at Lake Hylia, take out your Ocarina and make up a song of your own. You will need to remember it, because you'll play the same song for him again when you come back as adult Link. Write the notes down somewhere so you don't forget them.
Heart Piece, Fishing Pond
Go into the Fishing Pond and pay the Fishing-Pond Man 10 Rupees. There's no time limit, and you can only keep one fish at a time. Catch a fish that's at least 50 cm (ours was 56 cm), then trade it in for a Piece of Heart.
Lake Hylia Night Gold Skulltulas
At night, a Gold Skulltula is on the wall of the Lakeside Laboratory. Defeat it and grab the Token with the Boomerang.
This one also only appears at night. Cross the wooden bridges out to the island where the owl sits, then swim over to the small island beyond it all the way in the corner. The Gold Skulltula is inside the small stone opening on the island.
The Song of Time
This is a main story event. It happens when you have all 3 Spiritual Stones and approach Hyrule Castle Town at night. As you reach the drawbridge, Princess Zelda rides out on horseback with Impa, and Ganondorf follows close behind. Zelda throws the Ocarina of Time into the moat as she escapes.
Dive into the moat to get the Ocarina of Time. Zelda leaves you a message and teaches you the Song of Time (A, L, R, A, L, R). Your Threads of Time quest log updates to Three Spiritual Stones.
Hyrule Castle Town
Empty Bottle From the Potion Shop (in case you missed it in Chapter 3)
We did already cover this Empty Bottle in our first visit to Hyrule Castle Town during Chapter 3. But just in case you missed it, as it is one of the new items added in the remake make sure you go into the Potion Shop in the Market. A bug escapes as you walk in, and the shopkeeper hands you an Empty Bottle to catch it with. Scoop it up and give it back, and as thanks he gives you the shop's signature product, a Red Potion. You keep the Bottle.
Shooting Gallery Upgrade (Biggest Deku Seed Bag)
Play the Shooting Gallery in the Market and hit all 10 targets for a perfect score. The prize is the Biggest Deku Seed Bag.
Bombchu Bowling Upgrades & Heart Piece
The Bombchu Bowling Alley is in the Market. Each play costs 10 Rupees, and you get 10 Bombchus (10 tries) to clear three stages. The prize changes every time you win, so keep playing until you have all three.
- 1st reward, Bombchus
- 2nd reward, the Biggest Bomb Bag
- 3rd reward, a Piece of Heart
Heart Piece, Lost Dog
At night (play the Sun's Song), a woman in the Market has lost her dog. Find the white dog running around the alleys behind the Market at night, and he will follow you. Lead him back to her for a Piece of Heart.
This can only be done once you've advanced the story far enough to unlock the path to Death Mountain Trail.
Mask Shop Side Quest
The Happy Mask Shop in the Market is only open during the day. You borrow a mask, sell it to someone who wants it, then come back and pay the shop that mask's going rate, no matter how much you sold it for. Paying for a mask lets you borrow the next one. Masks are accessories, so equip them from the menu.
Keaton Mask
Borrow the Keaton Mask and wear it to the guard at the gate to Death Mountain Trail in Kakariko Village. He asks if he can buy it off you, sell it to him for 15 Rupees. Go back to the shop, pay 10 Rupees and borrow the Skull Mask.
Bigger Deku Stick Bag
Before taking the Skull Mask to its intended client, while wearing the Skull Mask, go to the Lost Woods and take this path from the entrance, right, left, right, left, left. Drop into the grotto to find the Deku Theater. Stand on the stage and the Deku Scrubs judge your mask, the Skull Mask gets you the Bigger Deku Stick Bag from the bigger Scrub on the right.
Plant a Magic Bean in the Lost Woods
Now that you're here, plant a Magic Bean in the Soft Soil Spot near the grotto exit from the previous collectible. This will be needed in a later chapter.
Bigger Deku Nut Bag
Exit from the Deku Theater grotto clearing back into the Lost Woods, then go left twice and use a Bomb to destroy the big rock between the two tunnels. Drop into the grotto behind it, defeat the Business Scrubs by bouncing back their shots and one of them will sell you the Bigger Deku Nut Bag for 40 Rupees.
Biggest Deku Stick Bag
Go back to the Lost Woods entrance and take the path left, then left again. Walk through the short valley past the soft soil patch and a Business Scrub hides in the grass and shoots at you. Defeat him and he apologizes by selling you the Biggest Deku Stick Bag for 40 Rupees.
Skull Mask
Return to the Lost Woods entrance and take the path left once from the Lost Woods entrance to find the Skull Kid sitting on the stump. Wear the Skull Mask and he buys it from you for 10 Rupees. You may need to play Saria's Song in front of him first if you haven't already.
Go back to the Mask Shop, pay 20 Rupees and borrow the Spooky Mask.
Spooky Mask
During the daytime, take the Spooky Mask to the kid in the Kakariko Graveyard. He wants to be a spooky gravekeeper too, so he buys it from you.
Go back to the Mask Shop, pay 30 Rupees and borrow the Bunny Hood.
Bunny Hood
Take the Bunny Hood to the Running Man in Hyrule Field. He only appears after you have all 3 Spiritual Stones. He'll buy the rabbit ears at any price and pays you with a Gold Rupee.
Mask of Truth
Return to the Mask Shop and pay 50 Rupees for the Bunny Hood. That completes the sales, and the shopkeeper lets you borrow the Mask of Truth.
Biggest Deku Nut Bag
Go back to the Deku Theater grotto in the Lost Woods (right, left, right, left, left) while wearing the Mask of Truth. Stand on the stage again and this time the Deku Scrubs give you the Biggest Deku Nut Bag.
Great Fairy of Power, Enhanced Spin Attack
Head up the road towards Hyrule Castle. Beside the gatehouse, climb the vines on the wall and follow the path above it along the cliff. A rock sits against the rock face beside the path on the right. Use a Bomb to destroy it, then go through the opening behind it into a Great Fairy Fountain.
Stand on the Triforce symbol and play Zelda's Lullaby. The Great Fairy asks you to toss 50 Rupees into the fountain as an offering. Make the offering and the Great Fairy of Power gives you the gift of improved spin. Your Spin Attack is now enhanced.
She then asks you to seek out her 3 remaining sisters, and if you ever feel weary you can come back and she'll heal you.
Opening the Door of Time
When you are ready to continue the Main Story, go through the Market to the Temple of Time. Walk up to the altar at the back of the temple, where the three Spiritual Stones, the Kokiri Emerald, Goron Ruby and Zora Sapphire, rise up and settle into place.
Stand on the Triforce symbol in front of the altar and play the Song of Time. The Door of Time opens behind the altar.
Once you take the Master Sword, you become adult Link. You can come back to child Link at any time (as long as you have completed the Forest Temple) by putting the sword back in its pedestal, but it's quicker to finish any child side quests from this chapter first.
The Master Sword
Walk through the Door of Time to the room with the Master Sword on its pedestal, and pull it out.
Ganondorf appears behind you. He says he knew all along that you'd be his key to the Door of Time, and mocks the royal family and their little hero for handing him the Sacred Realm. Link is sealed away for seven years.
The Chamber of Sages
Link wakes up as an adult in the Chamber of Sages. Rauru, the Sage of Light and creator of the Temple of Time, explains that only one with the heart of a hero can draw the Master Sword, so your spirit was sealed until you were old enough. Ganondorf stole into the Sacred Realm, claimed the Triforce and became the Demon King, and Hyrule is now overrun with monsters. Rauru gives you the Light Medallion.
Back in the Temple of Time, Sheik, a survivor of the Sheikah clan, appears. She tells you the legend of the five temples, and that you must find them and awaken the Sages. Your first stop is Kakariko Village. A new event, Awakening the Five Sages, is added to your Threads of Time.
To go back to child Link, return the Master Sword to its pedestal anytime after completing the Forest Temple. To become adult Link again, just pull the sword back out.
