Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Go to the Happy Hearth Inn, upstairs, light the torches, and open the chest outside for a Kinstone Piece.
  2. 2
    Go to North Hyrule Field. In the top left, go down a ladder, clone yourself, push the large stone, and climb the ladder.
  3. 3
    Up the stairs, a chest containing 200 Shells is available if Shared Fusion #15 was completed. Exit at the top left.
  4. 4
    Enter the Royal Valley. Equip the Flame Lantern and proceed through the path, avoiding or defeating the Ghinis (ghosts).
  5. 5
    Down the stairs, bomb between fence pieces to find a cave. Inside, talk to the Great Dragonfly Fairy. Answer no/no/yes/no/no to receive the last quiver upgrade.
  6. 6
    Exit the cave and follow the path. Step on the brown dirt to the north to continue.
  7. 7
    Follow the signs or go: Up, left, left, up, right, and up.
  8. 8
    Go around the gates to the top right and enter the home of Dampe, the grave digger.
  9. 9
    Talk to Dampe, who will believe your story about the ghost king and give you the graveyard key.
  10. 10
    Outside, two red crows will steal the key. Equip the Flame Lantern and Pegasus Boots.
  11. 11
    Locate the tree the bird is in, line yourself up without getting too close, and ram it.
  12. 12
    Use the graveyard key on the graveyard gate.
  13. 13
    Inside, to your left is Spookter. Fuse a B2 with him for a chest mini-game in Hyrule Town.
  14. 14
    Leave and return. Fuse a B1 with Spookter to move his brother from the Minish entrance to Anju's home.
  15. 15
    At the top left, enter the movable grave and clone to move the stone, obtaining a Piece of Heart <1>.
  16. 16
    Go outside and break the rocks at the bottom right. Clone and find your way to the switches at the top to open the top grave. Enter it.
  17. 17
    Royal Crypt: Burn the mummies and kill the Stalfos. Grab key [1].
  18. 18
    Go up and use the left mushroom to fling. Avoid the left and right doors (fakes) and open the middle [0]. Go up.
  19. 19
    Head left. Make two clones on the left set of tiles and step on the other single one. Navigate across and hit the switches. Grab key [1]. Return to the split.
  20. 20
    Go right. Make clones on the right set of tiles. Navigate around the blocks. To avoid the trap, move left slightly when clones flicker and step back right before they disappear. Hit the switches and claim key [2]. Return to the split.
  21. 21
    Go up and unlock both blocks [0]. Go up.

    In this room, the east and west pot sets are full of Rupees and Shells.
  25. 25
    Up the stairs, talk to Gustaf again to receive another Golden Kinstone Piece and be told to use it with the "source of the flow." You will be transported out.
  26. 26
    Go back to Dampe and fuse a B2 with him for a grave at the top right to open.
  27. 27
    A second fusion with Dampe reveals a hole in the Wind Ruins. Inside the top right grave lives Gina, the Ghini.
  28. 28
    Fuse twice with Gina to open a waterfall in Hyrule Town and raise a tree in the Western Wood. A chest with 100 Shells is also present.
  29. 29
    Talk to Dampe again. He will say, "Left, left, left...up, up, up...Dang, what's that last turn again?"
  30. 30
    Return to the sign-following path beginning. Go left 3 times, and up 3 times. Open the chest for 200 Shells.
  31. 31
    Going up again leads to the graveyard with a "da-da-da-ding!" sound.
  32. 32
    Go back and exit south from the dirt path leading to the sign path. Jump down.
  33. 33
    Retrieve the results of your fusions in the valley, then head for North Hyrule Field.
