Quick notes

  • Know the two kingdoms’ cast. Zelda belongs to Hyrule and Hilda to Lorule.
  • Locate progression services. Ravio provides equipment, while Mother Maiamai improves eligible owned items.
  • Keep the sages’ objectives visible. Lorule dungeons are connected to rescuing sages.
  • Avoid assuming a first meeting explains everything. Several characters have later revelations.

Useful tip

Lorule dungeons are connected to rescuing sages. Use the map and current objectives to track progress instead of treating a completed side activity as a dungeon clear.
