The game begins by tossing Link into the Overworld. From the beginning, Link can go straight to the first dungeon. However, there are a wide variety of goodies that Link can collect beforehand and we will be gathering those all in this chapter. Skip ahead to Chapter 2 to progress to the first dungeon.

From the start screen, enter the cave to find an Old Man who will give you your first item, the Sword.





Our next mission is to collect some Bombs. There is a shop that sells bombs at the far east of the map. From the start screen head right 8 screens and then up 1 screen. Along the way, defeat the Octoroks, Tektites, and Leevers to collect rupees. You will need to acquire 20 rupees in order to purchase the bombs. Furthermore, the blue octoroks that you encounter will occasionally drop bombs as a reward. Just keep defeating enemies to pile up some rupees. Once you reach the coast, you will encounter an enemy Zola. These water creatures can be defeated, but they are best avoided for the time being. Once you reach the cave, enter it and purchase the Bombs for 20 rupees.
