They’re your dungeons, so arrange them however you see fit.

Learning with Link

To escape Koholint Island, Link will need to use every ounce of skill – and every item he can find!

Fight like a boss

Link will face off with many monsters on Koholint Island and will need to master some basic moves to come out on top.

• Horizontal slash: The most basic attack in the game – and the most used!
• Whirling blade: A powerful, charged attack that will strike anything next to you.
• Blocking: By holding up his shield, Link can block most attacks in front of him.
• Jump attack: Once Link gets Roc’s Feather, he can pull off this powerful move by leaping in the air and slashing down quickly.
