Walkthrough 002: caves to guardhouse

After getting the lamp, we can finally head to the guardhouse.

Caves entrance

Head North of Kakariko village to enter the caves. It's pitchdark inside so have your lamp at the ready. When entering the caves, you will find a small area with blue coins. Collect them all and head back outside. We are now going to buy some bombs. Not necessarily for the fighting (you can use them for that purpose, though) but for a puzzle in the guardhouse itself. Technically you don't need these bombs, but I'll explain later when it actually makes more sense.

Shop entrance

Find the house pictured on the left. You may enter the left door to buy 10 bombs for 50 rupees. You can also refill your hearts if necessary. However, if you want some free bombs and keep those rupees for something else, enter the door on the right. There should be some bombs hidden in the corner pots. The bombs will reappear after leaving and re-entering the room. Leave the shop and head back to the cave North of Kakariko village.

Are you ready for this? Let's go then. Remember: be very careful, because you will not be able to save your game (at least, not in the normal way) until you get the sword and shield in the guardhouse.

When back in the caves, go through the doorway in the top left corner and don't get electrocuted by the blue Biri (electrified jellyfish).

You might have noticed there is also another door, but it contains a chest you cannot reach at this time. After entering the room at the top left, drop down the hole.

After dropping down, enter the only doorway at the east side of the room. Run down the stairs and continue to go south, avoiding the mini-Moldorm. Exit the cave through the southern passage.

Let's proceed to our next destination.
