Ordon Village - Twilight Princess

1st Day

Twilight Princess opens with Link talking to a man named Rusl near a waterfall just outside of Ordon Village. Rusl tells Link of Hyrule, and that he should see it for his own eyes. As night falls, they had back to the village, where you make your way to your house with Epona. As the next morning rises, you'll notice a girl named Ilia, taking Epona with her. Fado from Ordon Ranch will wake you up wanting help with herding goats. You'll gain control of Link just outside of your house. Take the path in back of your house and you'll find a spring to your right, before the locked gate. You'll find Ilia and Epona there. Ilia will teach you that you can use tall grass to whistle into to call Epona whenever you need her. Once you've learned that, hop on Epona and head back into the village, through town and to Ordon Ranch at the far end of the map. Once in the ranch, talk to Fado and he'll ask if you want to start herding goats. When you start, circle the ranch while pressing A to "whoop" every once in a while to corral them into the barn door. Once all 10 are in the barn, Fado will let your ride around the ranch for a bit to practice jumps. Once you're done, jump over the wooden fence leading to the exit. You'll be asked if you want to save, and then you'll wake up the next morning.

2nd Day

After the kids wake you up, head down the ladders in your house and talk to them outside. They'll let you in on some info about a slingshot at the store. Head into the village and talk to Malo and Talo's dad next to the house on the left. You'll find out that his wifes been bothering him about the beehive above their house. To help him get it off, head over to the big rock with the vines on it to the right of the house in front of the river. A man is on top of the rock telling you to talk to him by Z-targeting. Climb the vines and he'll tell you about Sera's cat, and the grass over on the other large rock. Jump over to that platform and pick up the grass to whistle in it and call the hawk. Use the Wii remote to point to the beehive above the house, press A to set the hawk free. The hawk will dislodge the beehive. Now continue by jumping onto the top of the house with the violet colored roof, and over to the other platforms further ahead. You'll find some more tall grass there. Summon the hawk again and this time point him over to the platform far in the distance, where the monkey squeaking is coming from. The monkey is holding the cradle that belongs to the pregnant wife of Rusl. Jump back across the platforms and down, and then find the wife near the bridge, overlooking the river. Carry the cradle back up to her house, and she'll give you the fishing rod that her son Colin made. Set it to the B button by pressing the (-) button the Wii remote. Now head over to the small wooden dock where Sera's cat is. Get out your fishing rod and cast it with B or by hand movement. Watch the bobber in the water. When it starts to sink below the surface, you got fish biting on it. Angle the Wii remote back towards you and if the fish is still on, the screen will say "Fish On!". Reel the fish in by keeping the remote angled back and while making a reeling motion with the nunchuk. If successful, try and catch another one. Once you catch the second one, Sera's cat will take the fish and will run back to his home at the store. She'll give you a half filled bottle with milk to replenish 3 hearts.

Sera's Sundries

	Slingshot & 50 Pellets - 30 rupees
	Bee Larva (10) - 10 rupees
	Milk - 10 rupees

Once you have 30 rupees, you can buy the slingshot. If you don't have enough, there's 10 rupees on top of the house with the water wheel, and there's 15 on top of the tree where the bee hive feel down. Climb the vines right next to that spot to reach the top. Once you have the slingshot, head back towards your house. You'll find Rusl on the way and he'll say that he left something for you in your room. Head back to your house and kill the spider in your way with your slingshot. Inside your room is a big chest with the wooden sword inside.

Head outside and talk to Beth, Talo and Malo. They'll be impressed by your new slingshot and will set up a target practice. Just aim the remote at the screen and press A when you're over one of the targets. When you can lock on with Z, you don't have to aim. They'll then ask to show them some sword moves. The slice (horizontal slash movement with remote), a vertical slice while z targeting, the stab (press forward while z targeting and slashing),  the spin attack (lightly shake the nunchuk side to side), and the jump attack (press A while z-targeting). After you finish that, a monkey shows up and the kids try to follow. Follow them past the forest spring and over the wooden bridge. You'll wander into Faron Woods. Continue along the path and you'll find that there's a large wooden fence blocking your way. Backtrack a bit to find some tall grass to whistle in and summon Epona. Hop on Epona and dash over the fence. Head into the tunnel and then to the path to the left (Epona won't let you go ahead on the path to the Forest Temple). You'll find a building and a man sitting in front of some unlit logs with a pot sitting above. Talk to him and he'll give you the lantern. Make sure you monitor your oil level closely, otherwise your lantern will go out, and its another 20 rupees for more oil. Set it to B and backtrack to where the path to the Forest Temple begins. The path is blocked by a deku baba. Defeat it then proceed into the cave where you'll find a Talo's play wooden sword. Get out your lantern and light the torches along the path, while killing keese and deku baba's. When your reach a large spider web in the way, swing your lantern and it'll burn up. Continue to the do the same until your reach the end of the path and emerge back into Faron Woods. From here, there's a large open area with a big tree in the center of the area and a broken bridge in front of it, along with several deku babas and bokoblins. There's a cave on the top left of the map. Defeat the enemies inside and light the two torches to get a large chest to appear. Inside the small chest below it is a small key to open the gate on the upper right corner of the map. Inside the large chest is the first heart piece. Collect 5 to get a new heart container. Now head over to the gate in the upper right corner of the map and open it. Defeat the bokoblins and proceed to find even more bokoblins and path to the Forest Temple. A parrot will interrupt you and want you to buy something from Trill's shop. Continue forward to find the monkey and Talo trapped in a wooden crate. Head up the path to find two bokoblins. Defeat them, then do a spinning slash to free the monkey and Talo. You'll return to the foot of the path, where Talo will thank you and you'll meet up with his dad again. He even says you might meet Princess Zelda.

3rd Day - Ordon Ranch

You'll head back to the ranch for another round of goat herding. Call Epona by whistling with the tall grass. Herd all 20 goats into the barn, and then head back to the village with Epona. Ilia and the mayor will be waiting for you with info about the royal gift Rusl was talking about. Ilia then notices an injury on Epona and takes her to the forest spring. As you try to follow her, you'll meet with Colin. When you try to proceed to the spring, Talo and Malo will stop you and ask to borrow your wooden sword. Let them borrow it, or else they won't let you through. Now proceed to the spring. The gate will be closed while Ilia and Colin talk. Backtrack to the large open area before the spring and find the small hole on the left where you can crouch down and crawl through it to the spring. After you and Ilia talk about your journey, you'll be surprised by a sneak attack from some enemies on a boar, that proceed to knock Link, Colin, and Ilia out. The enemies then summon an opening in the twilight. After Link awakens to find Ilia and Colin gone, he proceeds over the wooden bridge to a large twilight gate, where he's pulled in, and turns into a wolf for the first time. He's then dragged by a twilight creature into his cell in Hyrule, with Midna overlooking the event.
