How to Play and Strategy
Pay 10 Rupees To Have a Hole Dug
| Entry Fee | 10 Rupees per try |
|---|
The Graveyard Digging Tour in Ocarina of Time is a minigame where, when Dampe is in a spot where he can dig, you pay 10 Rupees to have him dig for you to obtain a "Piece of Heart" or "Rupees". The prize location is random every time.
Digging in the Soil Will Yield a Prize
You win a prize in the Graveyard Digging Tour by having Dampe dig when he is on soil. Be aware that having him dig when he is on stone will never yield a prize.
If a Piece of Heart Doesn’t Appear
Since the location of the Piece of Heart is random, if it doesn't appear after one tour, re-enter the Graveyard to reset it. It is recommended to shorten travel time by moving the second gravestone from the left in the first row and the fourth from the right in the second row, falling into the revealed hole, and returning to the graveyard.
Save Anywhere Feature
| How to | |
|---|---|
| 1. | Before entering the Graveyard, use the "-" button to create a Save Anywhere file |
| 2. | If you don't get the Piece of Heart, load the save and re-enter the Graveyard |
In the Graveyard Digging Tour minigame, you can use the Switch version's Save Anywhere feature to get the Piece of Heart without wasting Rupees. Keep in mind that this is different from the original game experience, so consider it one of your options.
You Can Get 5 Rupees by Moving a Gravestone
You can earn funds for digging by moving gravestones to get 5 Rupees. Rupees won't appear from gravestones that reveal a hole when moved, but you can get 5 Rupees from two other random locations. By entering and exiting the Graveyard to reset it, you can get 5 Rupees as many times as you want by moving gravestones.
