==Theory==
==Nomenclature==
{{Theory|start}}
{{Nomenclature}}
*It is often noted that Kasuto is the only town name in ''The Adventure of Link'' that does not have a similarly named character in {{OOT}}. This, combined with unused data found by hacking the ''Ocarina of Time'' game cartridge, has led to speculation that another sage with the name of Kasuto may have at one point been intended for the game.
*Kasuto and Old Kasuto may have served as a prototype or concept for [[Kakariko Village]] and the [[Hidden Village]]. In addition to the names' similarity between Kasuto and Kakariko Villages (first and last syllabes), Old Kasuto shares a connection with the Hidden Village that appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', which is also ghost town with a [[Impaz|single resident]].
{{Theory|end}}


==Trivia==
===Other Names===
*The original Japanese text written on the wall in Old Kasuto reads: "{{Japanese|マホウノ　カギハ　カストノ　タカラ　ト　カイテアル|魔法の鍵はカストの宝と書いてある|It reads: 'The Magic Key is the treasure of Kasuto'|3}}"
{{Other Names
*The original Japanese text written on the wall in Hidden Kasuto is a text-puzzle. Japanese text can be read from left to right or from top to bottom. All of the text in the game expects the reader to read from left to right like you would in regular english. However, when reading the text on the wall from left to right then you will get nothing but nonsense. Once you start reading it top to bottom, you will get the hint.

When trying to enter the chimney, Link says, "LOOKS LIKE I CAN GET IN THE FIREPLACE."<ref>{{cite|LOOKS LIKE I CAN GET IN THE FIREPLACE.|Link|TAoL}}</ref> Although, like with the mirror, this could be the result of the English translation since the Japanese text doesn't use a first-person pronoun in both cases.

Not to be confused with Old Kasuto.

Kasuto,[1] also known as Hidden Town of Kasuto,[2] and New Kasuto,[name references needed] is a location in The Adventure of Link.

Features and Overview

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 Old Women living here approaches Link and, if the young hero has three out of the four Magic Containers,[3] she will invite him inside her house to claim the fourth and last Magic Container.[4] Link can find a hint written on a wall in one of the empty houses which reveals the location of a Bowl of Hearts near the shore of Three-Eye Rock.[5]

In the second area of Kasuto 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.[6] Using this new-found spell at the edge of town causes a temple to rise from the ground which houses the Magical Key.[7]

Trivia

  • Kasuto features one of the rare occasions where Link is shown speaking; when trying to enter the chimney, Link says, "LOOKS LIKE I CAN GET IN THE FIREPLACE."[8]
  • Kasuto and Old Kasuto are named after an unseen sage.[9]
