Kakariko Village Graveyard: Difference between revisions

Behind [[Kakariko Village]] lies the [[graveyard]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. During young Link's time, the gravekeeper [[Dampé]] oversees the graveyard at night to promote his [[Digging Game#Heart Pounding Graveyard Tour|Heart-Pounding Gravedigging Tour]] minigame, while in the daytime, a little kid roams around the graves instead.<ref>{{cite|Heart-Pounding Gravedigging Tour! / From 18:00 to 21:00 Hyrule Time / --Dampé the Gravekeeper|A sign|Ocarina of Time}}</ref> While Dampé is not out patrolling, he is sleeping inside his hut, which is located in the east corner of the graveyard. Within it Link can find [[Dampé's Diary]], which talks about a [[Hookshot|treasure]] that he found while digging around.<ref>{{cite|When I dug a hole, I found a treasure that stretches--BOING! and shrinks--BOING! It's so fun, I'll never give it to anybody!|Dampé|Ocarina of Time}}</ref>

[[Poe]]s of many fallen [[Hyrulean]]s, [[Royal Family of Hyrule|Royal Family]] members, and the [[Sheikah]] tribe who founded [[Kakariko Village|Kakariko]] rest in the graveyard, and it is said that the latter watch over the spirits in their eternal slumber.<ref>{{cite|R.I.P. Here lie the souls of those who swore fealty to the Royal Family of Hyrule / The Sheikah, guardians of the Royal Family and founders of Kakariko, watch over these spirits in their eternal slumber.|A sign|Ocarina of Time}}</ref> The gravestones that have flowers in front of them can be pulled back to reveal a secret room or underground chamber. These often contain a chest with a few Rupees, and one contains a chest with a [[Hylian Shield]].

At the back of the graveyard rests the two famous [[Composer Brothers]]: [[Composer Brothers#Flat|Flat]] and [[Composer Brothers#Sharp|Sharp]], whose tombstones are separated by the [[Royal Family's Tomb]]. The Royal Family's Tomb, which can only be opened by playing [[Zelda's Lullaby]] on the [[ocarina]], houses the Composer Brothers' [[Sun's Song]] as well as a poem to go along with said melody.<ref>{{cite|The rising sun will eventually set, A newborn's life will fade. From sun to moon, moon to sun... Give peaceful rest to the living dead. This is an interesting poem... huh?|N/A|Ocarina of Time}}</ref>

After [[Link]] becomes an adult, he comes back to the graveyard to discover that Dampé has passed away. Link reads the gravekeeper's diary inside his hut, which beckons anyone who reads the text to come to his [[Dampé's Grave|grave]] to receive the treasure he found seven years ago.<ref>{{cite|Whoever reads this, please enter my grave. I will let you have my stretching, shrinking keepsake. I'm waiting for you.|Dampe's Diary|Ocarina of Time}}</ref> The young hero can uncover Dampé's Grave on the west side of the graveyard to race the deceased gravekeeper and receive the [[Hookshot]] from him.
