Zelda OOT Remake: Lost Woods map, how to navigate
Key Points:
- The Lost Woods in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake on Nintendo Switch 2 retains its iconic layout, where wrong turns eject players back to Kokiri Forest, but it can be navigated easily with proper guidance.
- Players can access the Lost Woods from the game's start, with activities available after clearing the Great Deku Tree dungeon; Saria’s Song begins to play only after unlocking the Death Mountain Trail, signaling when to navigate toward the Sacred Grove.
- Key locations include the Skull Kid near the entrance for the Happy Mask Salesman quest and a Deku Trader selling an upgraded Deku-Stick Bag, as well as a target shooting challenge to earn a Bigger Deku-Seed Bag and an Ocarina memory minigame rewarding a Piece of Heart.
- The Lost Woods also feature shortcuts to Goron City and Zora’s Domain, plus a side room with two Deku Traders and the Forest Stage entrance, with the main path leading through boulder rooms to the Sacred Grove, accessible when guided by Saria’s Song or as adult Link.
