Vacant House
Vacant Houses are recurring locations in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][2]
Features and Overview
The Minish Cap
After completing the Fortress of Winds, Link can Fuse a red Kinstone Piece with Farore, one of the three Oracles at the Happy Hearth Inn, who is looking for a house to move into.[3] Afterwards, Gorman will be renting a home in Hyrule Town, at which point Link can talk to one of the three Oracles so that she may move in to the new house.[4] By speaking to the Oracle in the house, Link will be able to obtain one of the Charms.
To make the next house available, Link must then fuse a red Kinstone Piece with Bremor, the carpenter by the Post Office. Mutoh then becomes motivated to build a second house for Gorman.[5] Link can talk to one of the two remaining Oracles to obtain a second Charm once the house is completed.
A third house never becomes available for the remaining Oracle. Thus, its charm cannot be obtained. In the European version of the game, Gorman considers building a third house south of the Royal Hyrule Library,[6] but he never does. This comment was replaced in the American version, released two months later.[7]
A Link Between Worlds
The Vacant House is the Lorule counterpart to Link's House. Inside, much of the furniture is strewn across the floor, blocking the back half of the room. Link can enter the back half by using Bomb on the rear wall; there, he'll find a Treasure Chest with a Bottle inside. A Weather Vane can be found outside next to the front door, and a Fissure can also be found on the hill in front of the house.
In Hero Mode, Ravio's Diary can be found inside, suggesting that the Vacant House belongs to him.
