Follow this guide to deliver the sword to the Eastern Palace in The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. Learn how to navigate Hyrule and prepare for your first dungeon.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll start in a dream sequence, which quickly transitions to Link waking up in his house. A kid named Gulley tells you you're late for the Blacksmith's.
  2. 2
    Leave your house through the south door. Outside, Gulley instructs you to check in with the nearby weather vane.
  3. 3
    Walk up to the weather vane and press the [A] button. You'll be given the option to save your game. Select "Save" to continue.
  4. 4
    Remember, weather vanes are your save points throughout the game. You can warp to any discovered weather vane after completing the first dungeon.
  5. 5
    After interacting with the weather vane, head one screen west from your house. You'll see Gulley heading northwest.
  6. 6
    Leap down the cliff and follow Gulley along the tree-lined path.
  7. 7
    In the next screen, you'll reach a body of water. Gulley won't be visible, so head directly west.
  8. 8
    You'll arrive at the Blacksmith's area. Go to the top-left corner of the screen and head up the stairs.
Tips
  • The weather vane is your primary save point. Make sure to save your progress regularly, especially before attempting anything risky.
  • After the first dungeon, fast travel to any weather vane becomes available, making saving much more convenient.
The primary reward for this section is progressing the story and obtaining the sword, allowing you to tackle the Eastern Palace dungeon.
