A happy Zelda weekend to you all! While a lot of us are going into this latest Zelda release confident and comfortable in our ancient (or, in my case, recent) knowledge of how to play Ocarina of Time, this game is 28 whole years old and there are many, many people who have never played it, don’t remember it, or weren’t even alive when it came out. And whew, this is a very different Zelda game than some of the more recent ones!
So I put together some tips for you all. Hopefully at least a few of them help you have a smoother adventure in Hyrule this weekend. Enjoy the ride, folks, this one’s a hell of a classic:
In Kokiri Forest, when you first get control of Link, you can immediately head out of your house and down the path to the left to reach the Know-It-Alls. The characters inside the house will give you some useful tips, while the fellow outside will show you some basic combat moves including rolling and dodging. He’ll then point you in the direction of a sword, after which point you can return and learn how to do the mighty jump attack (more on that momentarily). These are (almost) all of the combat moves you’ll need to know for the whole game, so it’s good to master them early.
The jump attack is powerful, doing double the damage of a regular swing.
