NOTE: Before starting, know this: the Gamecube version and the Wii version of
this game aren't different, except that they're mirrored. So basically,
if you're using this walkthrough for the Gamecube version, read east as
west, west as east, north as south, and south as north. Now that we've
gotten that out of the way, we can begin.
Upon creating a new file, you are given the choice to name the main character.
By default, his name is Link. Then you get to name your horse, which is named
Epona by default. I will refer to them as Link and Epona throughout the guide,
so take note of that. After the brightness adjusting screen, we get on with the
game, starting at the village of Ordon by the springs. You will see Link's
swordfighting teacher, Rusl. He talks about the two worlds, and about how
sadness occurs as dusk falls. He says that he was supposed to deliver something
to the royal family of Hyrule, but he wants Link to do it for him. After a
little bit of dialogue, the two go back to the village. Link carries Epona with
them, as well.
