Dampé's Grave Digging Race in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time can be played underneath Dampé's grave in the Kakariko Village graveyard as an adult. Dampé's grave is the one covered in grass on the left after entering the graveyard, and pulling the gravestone from behind reveals a hidden hole, so head down from there.
How to Play Dampe Race and Tips
- Catch Up to Dampe Within the Time Limit
- Roll on Straightaways / Run Around Corners
- Always dodge the flames Dampe drops - 2nd Run Onward, use the Hookshot on Torch
Catch Up to Dampe Within the Time Limit
| Time Limit | Approx. 1 min. 10 sec. |
|---|
In the Ocarina of Time, Dampe Race, you clear the challenge by catching up to Dampe within the time limit. You can obtain the Hookshot as a reward for clearing it on your first run, making it an essential item for the Adult Link portion of the Walkthrough.
Roll on Straightaways / Run Around Corners
The key is to mix things up. Roll on straightaways and switch to a normal dash around corners. Roll lets you move faster and save time, but using it on curves reduces your maneuverability and increases the risk of getting hit by the flames Dampe drops, so use it carefully.
Always Avoid the Flames Dampe Drops
Getting hit by the flames Dampe drops will knock you down, costing you roughly 2 seconds. Flames are often dropped in blind spots around corners in particular, so always keep an eye on where you're headed.
2nd Run Onward, Use the Hookshot on Torch
Using the Hookshot you obtain from clearing the race on your first run, you can fire it at the torch just before the goal on subsequent runs and skip the final uphill slope. This is an important technique when going for the Piece of Heart reward for finishing in under 1 minute, so make sure to remember it.
Dampe Race Rewards
| Clear/Condition | Reward |
|---|---|
| First Time | Hookshot |
| 2nd Time Onward | 20 Rupees |
| 2nd Time Onward (Within 1 Minute) | Piece of Heart |
In Dampé's Grave Digging Race in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, you can obtain the Hookshot, 20 Rupees, and a Piece of Heart as prizes. The Hookshot, which you get for your first clear, is a crucial item for progressing as an adult.
