Story Walkthrough Tips
Key tips for the Ocarina of Time story walkthrough include not missing items in each dungeon, collecting Heart Pieces to increase your max HP, and making good use of Navi.
Don't Miss Items in Each Dungeon

The items you can obtain in each dungeon are extremely important for progressing through the story. In some cases, failing to pick them up can leave you unable to progress, so be sure to open every chest in each dungeon.
Collect Heart Pieces to Increase Max HP

Collecting Heart Pieces as you progress through the story lowers your chances of getting a Game Over. Some Heart Pieces are easy to grab, so try to pick up as many as you can along the way.
All Piece of Heart LocationsMake Use of Navi

| Controls | ↑ |
|---|
Navi will give you hints when you press up on the R Button while "Navi" is displayed at the top of the screen. Talk to her whenever you get stuck on a puzzle in a dungeon. If you press it while locked onto an enemy with Z-Targeting, she'll give you hints about the enemy's weaknesses and characteristics.
Make Use of the Warp Feature

The warp feature becomes available once Sheik teaches you the warp songs. You'll learn them gradually as you progress through the story, so be sure to make full use of them once you do.
Visit the Great Fairy's Fountains

Visiting the six Great Fairy's Fountains rewards you with a variety of useful upgrades. These rewards are extremely helpful for progressing through the story, so we recommend visiting each one.
Increase Your Item Capacity
| Items With Expandable Capacity | ||
|---|---|---|
| Deku Nut | Deku Stick | Deku Seeds |
| Rupee | Bomb | Quiver |
There are six items in total whose capacity can be increased. Doing so requires completing certain sub-events, but increasing your capacity makes the story much easier to progress through, so it's worth doing.
How to Increase Carrying CapacityUse Saria's Song for Adventure Hints

Playing Saria's Song gives you hints about your adventure. If you're ever stuck, it's worth giving it a try.
