In, the Graveyard is first accessed by correctly navigating through the Lost Woods. It is a bleak, desolate, gray area characterized only by the white tombstones marked with blue crosses. Touching these tombstones will cause Ghinis to emerge from their graves. The lone Ghini floating outside is a "ring leader"; slaying that one will slay all others that appear. The Magical Sword can be obtained here after Link has twelve Heart Containers in his possession.

In the Second Quest, TLoZ: can be found beneath a tombstone.

In, the Graveyard is located in the Western Hyrule portion near the coast. Among the regular graves, the King's Tomb is also present. A grave a few steps south from the King's tomb holds a secret entrance to the Island Palace.

A smaller, more desolate Graveyard can be found just south of Death Mountain, which represents the Graveyard from the original The Legend of Zelda. Another Graveyard can be found in Eastern Hyrule, leading to where the Valley of Death is.

In, the Graveyard is also known as the Hyrulean Cemetery and is located just east of the Sanctuary in the Light World. Before the first defeat of Agahnim, the graves are patrolled by Soldiers, and when Link pushes some of the graves, Poes will rise from the bones of the dead. Later, after Agahnim has been defeated the first time, Poes will freely haunt the Graveyard.

A hole can be found under the westernmost grave that leads to part of the Secret Passage. A lone grave surrounded by stones that Link cannot move without the Titan's Mitt hides a secret tomb that contains the Magic Cape. Link cannot push this grave open, so the Dash Bash must be used. The cave to the north of the Cemetery cannot be reached without first travelling to the Dark World and using the Magic Mirror. Deep within a Piece of Heart can be found.

The Dark World counterpart of the Cemetery is the Ghostly Garden.

In, a four-screen Cemetery can be found on Koholint Island near Koholint Prairie and Tabahl Wasteland. In each portion, one Ghini floats around and more will appear if Link touches one of the graves. In the southeast portion, Zombies will appear in addition to the Ghinis. In the northwest portion, a Giant Ghini can be found.

In, Kakariko's Graveyard is located on its outskirts, and Link must visit it both as a child and as an adult to obtain various important items from beneath the graves, such as the Hookshot. Dampé works here as the gravekeeper, as well as the host of the Heart-Pounding Gravedigging Tour. The Graveyard also contains a inaccessible ledge that leads to the Shadow Temple. The "Nocturne of Shadow" is required to reach it.



In, the Ikana Graveyard is situated to the left upon entering the road to Ikana Canyon. It is the resting place of the Royal Family of Ikana Castle. Stalchildren inhabit the Graveyard and patrol its graves at night. Link can enter each of the graves that the Stalchildren are guarding on a specific night; however, Link must only enter one of them in order to progress through the game. Dampé makes another appearance as the gravekeeper, but this time appears to be completely terrified of its ghosts and spirits.

There is also a Goron Graveyard in Snowhead that houses the resting place of the Goron hero Darmani III. It is here that Link obtains the Goron Mask.

In, the Graveyard is located next to the Western Coast on a plateau isolated by the sea. It is also infested with Ghinis. Beneath the Graveyard's northwestern masonry work lies the Explorer's Crypt.

To reach the Graveyard, Link helps the shipwrecked Piratians get their ship back out to sea. Having been on land for so long, the Piratians become seasick and dock their ship in a bay on the Western Coast. Thus, Link can use the ship as a bridge to the Graveyard. To enter it, Link must change the season to summer and climb up a vine on the southern face of the plateau. Once Link obtains the Roc's Cape from Explorer's Crypt, he can enter the Graveyard from a cave in the southeast corner of the plateau. This allows him to enter the area in seasons other than summer, as the Graveyard itself has no Tree Stumps to change seasons with. If Link enters the Graveyard in autumn, he can pluck the Rock Mushrooms there and collect a Piece of Heart.

Another Graveyard called the OoS: can be found west of the shipwrecked Piratian Ship. While stranded in Subrosia, the Piratians take up residence in the House of Pirates situated in the Cemetery.
