It is a simple building, containing basic, wooden furniture, and is home to both Link and his uncle. Next to Link's bed, which is situated in the house's northwest corner, are three Pots that each contain a recovery Heart. A Treasure Chest located in the southeast corner of the house contains the Lantern, which will likely be the first item that Link collects in his quest. However, if the Treasure Chest is opened after already receiving the Lantern elsewhere, it will instead contain a Blue Rupee.

Upon seeing that Link is awake, Link's uncle promises that he will be back by morning and tells Link not to leave the house.
