GETTING STARTED

Starting the Game
First, use the Control Stick to select the game you want to play on the mode-selection screen.
•
Press the Z Button to watch a selection of movies.
After choosing one of the two game modes, choose whether you want the Rumble feature ON or OFF.
•
If you turn the Rumble feature on, you can use the Stone of Agony once you obtain it in the game.
On the next screen, you will be asked if you want to create a game file on the Memory Card inserted in slot A. After choosing YES, the game's title screen will appear.
•
In order to save your game data, you will need 15 free blocks on the Memory Card in Slot A.

Once you've saved, you can continue playing from that point. Please make sure that the Memory Card is always inserted in Slot A.
To delete a file or empty a Memory Card, please refer to the Nintendo GameCube manual.
To go to the file-selection screen, press START/PAUSE or the A Button while on the title screen. Choose one of the three files with the Control Stick and select it with the A Button.

When you want to continue a game that you've saved, choose that file.
Copying or Deleting Files
You can copy a saved file to an empty file by choosing COPY.
By choosing DELETE you can empty the selected file.

Once you've deleted a file, you cannot recover it.

About the Action Icons
The A Button represents the Action icon, which allows you to perform many actions. The text appearing on the icon tells you what action Link can execute. The text changes depending on where Link is standing. If the icon shows no text, try calling Navi for help.
DOWN
While hanging on a cliff or ladder, if the DOWN text appears, you can safely let go and drop.
To jump onto a large block, press UP on the Control Stick and press the A Button.
Climb
Move the Control Stick toward the ladder to climb up. If DOWN appears, you can safely jump down from the ladder.
Grab
Grab an object by pressing the A Button. To throw the object, press the A Button. To throw a bomb, use the Control Stick to run and then press the A Button. To drop a bomb, simply press the A Button while standing still.
Other Actions
SPEAK
Stand near a person and talk when the SPEAK text appears. To talk to people who are far away, use L-Targeting. Be sure to read everything a person has to say.
CHECK
Use CHECK when standing near a sign or something important.
Push/Pull
Press the A Button to grab, push or pull an object. Once you've grabbed an object, use the Control Stick to manoeuvre it.
OPEN
Stand in front of a door or chest and press the A Button when the OPEN text appears.
NOTE: Other actions will appear during the game. Be sure to check the Action icon.
NAVI AND L-TARGETING
Navi is Link's guardian fairy. She helps and supports Link during his adventure and gives helpful hints such as enemy weaknesses.
If Navi calls you during the game, press UP on the C Stick to see what she has to say.
Navi Icon
When Link gets close to an enemy or object that Navi can help with, she flies in that direction. That enemy or object has a triangle mark next to it.
If you press the L Button, Link looks in Navi's direction, and the enemy or object is surrounded by the Focus Cursor. This is called L-Targeting.
When you use L-Targeting, the Navi icon appears in the top-right corner of the screen. Press UP on the C Stick to read Navi's advice.
When using L-Targeting on people or signs, the Navi icon does not flash. Instead, the SPEAK or CHECK commands appear.
