Gravekeeper's Diary

Dampé's Diary is found in Dampé's house and is the only interactive object in there. When you are young Link you can only look at it a night when Dampe is digging. The text in the diary depends on if the player is young or adult Link. As young Link the diary talks about how Dampé found a "stringy thing that goes boing" (which later turns out to be the hookshot). After Link's disappearance, Dampé the Graveyard keeper dies. His shed at the entrance of the graveyard is now open. Inside the shed is Dampé's Diary. It will tell you to open his grave...

"Whoever reads this, please enter my grave. I will let you have my stretching, shrinking keepsake. I'm waiting for you."
