Ikana Graveyard

Ikana Graveyard is located to the north of the main road between Clock Town and the kingdom of Ikana. It is the resting place of the majority of the fallen soldiers from a bloody battle involving the Ikana Kingdom, and as such, at night you can find some Stalchildren, who are the dead of the Ikana Kingdom.

The gravedigger Dampé can be found here, after first making an appearance in Ocarina of Time. In this incarnation Dampé is quite timid, but can still be quite helpful. At the end of the graveyard lies the sleeping Captain Keeta.

There are 2 main key points to note:


 * 1) The skeletal remains at the rear of the graveyard
 * 2) The various graves in the graveyard

Both of which should be examined carefully before moving on. The skeletal remains ask that any bold enough to face them in combat should "awaken" them. Once Link has used the Sonata of Awakening, he must catch and face down the monstrous Skull Keeta, in order to obtain the Captain's Hat. This mask is one of the game's six required masks, enabling the player to talk to Stalchildren. Every night, a group of Stalchildren patrol a different grave. Talking to them while wearing the Captain's Hat allows the player to open the gravesites. The grave being patrolled on the first night is the only necessary one to open, granting the player the "Song of Storms", which gets them one step closer to entering the fourth dungeon, Stone Tower.

The other guarded graves are not necessary, but are recommended; the one being patrolled on the Second Night gives the player a Heart Container, and the Third gives the player a bottle (after a rather lengthy and difficult challenge).
