Kasuto

Kasuto is the name of two towns in, Old Kasuto and the Hidden Town of Kasuto.

Old Kasuto
The original town of Kasuto was attacked and destroyed by monstrous Moas, forcing its people to flee, although one Old Man stayed behind. Upon Link's first arrival to Old Kasuto, the Moas who have taken over the town are invisible to him, and only by possessing the Cross can the young hero see these flying creatures. The Old Man who is left here informs Link that the town is deserted, and that he must look in the woods to the east in order to find the new village of Kasuto. Once Link has obtained all of the eight Magic Containers in the game, the Old Man of Old Kasuto will reward him with his most powerful magic yet, the Thunder magic. Link can also find a hint on the location of the Magical Key written on a wall in one of the empty houses.

Hidden Town of Kasuto
The Hidden Town of Kasuto, also known as the New Kasuto, is found in the eastern woods of the area and is revealed upon hitting a patch of grass with the Hammer. One of the elderly women living here approaches Link and, if the young hero has three out of the four Magic Containers, she will invite him inside her house to claim the fourth and last Container. Once again, Link can find a hint written on a wall in one of the empty houses which reveals the location of a Heart Container near the shore of Three Eye Rock.

On the second area of the town is a house with its door wide open. The chimney inside the house has an entrance to it, and entering it leads Link to an Old Man who teaches him the Spell. Using this new-found spell at the edge of town causes a temple to rise from the ground which houses the Magical Key.
