Template:Place

Graveyards, or Cemeteries, are a signature locale in The Legend of Zelda series. At least one has appeared in nearly every title.

Appearances and Features

The Legend of Zelda

In the original Template:LOZ, the graveyard is first accessed by correctly navigating through the Lost Woods. It is a bleak, desolate, gray area characterized only by the white tombstones marked with blue crosses. The lone Ghini floating outside is a "ring leader". Slaying that one will slay all others that appear. The strongest sword in the game can be obtained here after Link has twelve Heart Containers in his possession.[1][2]

In the Second Quest, Level 6 can be found beneath a Tombstone.

The Adventure of Link

The graveyard is located in the Western Hyrule portion of Template:AOL, near the coast. Among the regular graves, the King's Tomb is also present. A grave a few steps south from the King's tomb holds a secret entrance to the Island Palace.

A smaller, more desolate graveyard can be found just south of Death Mountain, which represents the graveyard from the original Zelda. Another graveyard can be found in Eastern Hyrule, leading to where the Valley of Death is.

A Link to the Past

File:Cemetery.png
The Cemetery in A Link to the Past

In Template:ALTTP, the graveyard is also known as the Hyrulian Cemetery and is located just east of the Sanctuary in the Light World. Before the first defeat of Agahnim, the graves are patrolled by Soldiers, and when Link pushes some of the graves, Poes will rise from the bones of the dead. Later, after Agahnim has been defeated the first time, Poes will freely haunt the graveyard, possibly as a result of the gateway to the Dark World slowly opening.

A hole can be found under the westernmost grave that leads to part of the Secret Passage. A lone grave surrounded by stones that Link cannot move with the Power Gloves hides a secret tomb that contains the Magic Cape. Link cannot push this grave open by normal means, and must instead use a Dash Bash. Although it appears that Link needs the Titan's Mitt to access this grave, he can instead use the Magic Mirror from the Dark World to reach it earlier.

The cave to the north of the Cemetery cannot be reached without first travelling to the Dark World and using the Magic Mirror. Deep within a Piece of Heart can be found.

Curiously, the Japanese manual mentions the graves or tomb of a "high mountain people" who do not otherwise appear in the game, who are possibly the Gorons. This is seemingly unrelated to the Cemetery next to the Sanctuary.

The Dark World counterpart of the Cemetery is the Ghostly Garden.

Link's Awakening

A four-screen graveyard can be found on Koholint Island in Link's Awakening. In each portion, one Ghini floats around and more will appear if Link touches one of the graves. In the southeast portion, zombies will appear in addition to the Ghinis. In the northwest portion, a Giant Ghini can be found. In the DX version, the Color Dungeon can be found in the southwest section.[3] To the north is the Tabahl Wasteland, and to the west is the Koholint Prairie.

Ocarina of Time

Main article: Kakariko Village Graveyard

Kakariko's graveyard is located on its outskirts, and Link must visit it both as a child and as an adult to obtain various important items from beneath the graves, such as the Hookshot. The Graveyard also contains a inaccessible ledge that leads to the Shadow Temple. The Nocturne of Shadow is required to reach it.

Majora's Mask

File:Ikanagraveyard.png
Ikana Graveyard in Majora's Mask

Template:Main listThe Ikana Graveyard in Majora's Mask is situated to the left upon entering the road to Ikana Canyon.[4] In it, there are numerous Stalchildren and graves.[5] Dampé also makes another appearance, but this time he seems to be completely terrified of ghosts and spirits.[6] In it, there are numerous Stalchildren and graves.[7][8] Link can enter each of the graves that the Stalchildren are guarding on a specific night; however, Link must only enter one of them in order to progress through the game.

There is also a Goron Graveyard in Snowhead that houses the resting place of the Goron hero Darmani. It is here that Link obtains the Goron Mask.[9]

Oracle of Ages

Template:Main list In Template:OOA, the present day eastern Labrynna is home to the Yoll Graveyard, a haunted place filled with many dead trees. Ghosts lurk little outside of Spirit's Grave along with the occasional Ghini.

In the same place as Yoll Graveyard in the past lies the massive Ancient Tomb, a place of mystery. Several strong monsters guard this mysterious place. Who, or what the Ancient Tomb is tomb to has long since been forgotten. The Ancient Tomb hides in its depths the Falling Star, an Essence necessary to Link's quest.

Oracle of Seasons

Graveyard

The Graveyard in Template:OOS is located next to the Western Coast. It is also infested with Ghinis. Beneath the graveyard's northwestern masonry work lies Level 7: Explorer's Crypt. Next to the masonry, there is a Piece of Heart blocked off by Rock Mushrooms.

The graveyard is on a plateau, isolated by the sea.[10] To reach it, Link must help the shipwrecked Piratians get their ship back out to sea. Having been on land for so long, the Piratians become seasick and dock their ship in a bay on the Western Coast. Thus, Link can use the ship as a bridge to the graveyard.[11] To enter it, Link must change the season to summer and climb up a vine on the southern face of the plateau.

Once Link obtains Roc's Cape from Explorer's Crypt, he can enter the graveyard from a cave in the southeast corner of the plateau. This allows him to enter the area in seasons other than summer (the graveyard itself has no Tree Stumps to change seasons with). If Link enters the graveyard in autumn, he can pluck the Rock Mushrooms and collect the Piece of Heart.

Subrosia Cemetery

The Subrosia Cemetery is located just west of the shipwrecked Piratian Ship.[12] While stranded in Subrosia, the Piratians take up residence in the House of Pirates situated in the cemetery. The cemetery proper contains nothing of note.

Four Sword Adventures

Main article: The Swamp

The Graveyard in Four Sword Adventures is found in the The Swamp, Near the Fields. Dampé is once again the graveyard's caretaker.[13] The area is also heavily infested with poes, and here the four Links will encounter the Big Poe.

The Minish Cap

Main article: Royal Valley

The Graveyard in The Minish Cap is called Royal Valley and contains that game's version of the Lost Woods.[14] Here Link finds Dampé, who lets him in to the Royal Crypt of King Gustaf.[15][16]

Twilight Princess

Main articles: Kakariko Village Graveyard and Castle Graveyard

In Twilight Princess, the graveyard is also located behind Kakariko Village. There is also a rather hidden graveyard in Hyrule Castle.

Phantom Hourglass

Main articles: Isle_of_the_Dead § Sage.27s_Graveyard and Isle of the Dead: Sage's Graveyard

In Phantom Hourglass there is a small graveyard in the Northwestern part of the Island which was home to nine sages who served under King Mutoh.[17]

Skyward Sword

In Skyward Sword, there is a small graveyard located in Skyloft. The only importance that this graveyard holds is during the Missing Daughter Sidequest, where hitting the gravestone nearest to the tree at night will open the nearby shed door. From there, a ladder leads down to Batreaux's house, where Kukiel can be found to complete the sidequest. After this, the graveyard only serves as a path to Batreaux's house to show him Gratitude Crystals.

During the night, the graveyard—like the rest of Skyloft—is infested by hostile Keese and Chuchus due to Batreaux's curse.

A Link Between Worlds

In this game, the Graveyard is located next to the Template:C, as it was in its predecessor, A Link to the Past. Link visits it early on in the game, after he hears Seres screaming from inside the Sanctuary, whose doors were sealed shut. Dampé tells the young hero of a hidden passageway which he can use to enter the Sanctuary, its entrance being located under one of the gravestones.

Link can also visit the Lorulean equivalent of the Graveyard. Unlike its Hyrulean counterpart, the Lorulean Graveyard is not necessary to visit to complete the game, but it is advised to do so, as there is a hidden passageway that will lead Link to an otherwise inaccessible area of the Lorulean Sanctuary, allowing him to earn a Master Ore, needed to upgrade the Master Sword.
