• Anyone who has had a seizure, loss of awareness, or other symptom linked to an epileptic condition
should consult a doctor before playing a video game.

• Parents should watch when their children play video games. Stop playing and consult a doctor if you
or your child have any of the following symptoms:
Convulsions Eye or muscle twitching Loss of awareness

Altered vision Involuntary movements Disorientation

• To reduce the likelihood of a seizure when playing video games:

1. Sit or stand as far from the screen as possible.

2. Play video games on the smallest available television screen.

3. Do not play if you are tired or need sleep.

4. Play in a well-lit room.

5. Take a 10 to 15 minute break every hour.

WARNING - Radio Frequency Interference

The Nintendo DS can emit radio waves that can affect the operation of nearby electronics, including
cardiac pacemakers.

• Do not operate the Nintendo DS within 9 inches of a pacemaker while using the wireless feature.

• If you have a pacemaker or other implanted medical device, do not use the wireless feature of the
Nintendo DS without first consulting your doctor or the manufacturer of your medical device.

• Observe and follow all regulations and rules regarding use of wireless devices in locations such as
hospitals, airports, and on board aircraft. Operation in those locations may interfere with or cause
malfunctions of equipment, with resulting injuries to persons or damage to property.

WARNING - Repetitive Motion Injuries and Eyestrain

Playing video games can make your muscles, joints, skin or eyes hurt after a few hours. Follow these
instructions to avoid problems such as tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, skin irritation or eyestrain:

• Avoid excessive play. It is recommended that parents monitor their children for appropriate play.

• Take a 10 to 15 minute break every hour, even if you don’t think you need it.

• When using the stylus, you do not need to grip it tightly or press it hard against the screen. Doing so
may cause fatigue or discomfort.

• If your hands, wrists, arms or eyes become tired or sore while playing, stop and rest them for several
hours before playing again.

• If you continue to have sore hands, wrists, arms or eyes during or after play, stop playing and see a doctor.

WARNING - Battery Leakage

The Nintendo DS contains a rechargeable lithium ion battery pack. Leakage of ingredients contained within the
battery pack, or the combustion products of the ingredients, can cause personal injury as well as damage to your
Nintendo DS.
If battery leakage occurs, avoid contact with skin. If contact occurs, immediately wash thoroughly with soap and
water. If liquid leaking from a battery pack comes into contact with your eyes, immediately flush thoroughly with
water and see a doctor.
To avoid battery leakage:

• Do not expose battery to excessive physical shock, vibration, or liquids.

• Do not disassemble, attempt to repair or deform the battery.

• Do not dispose of battery pack in a fire.

• Do not touch the terminals of the battery, or cause a short between the terminals with a metal object.

Actions

All of Link’s actions can be performed by tapping or sliding
your stylus on the Touch Screen.
Use your stylus to make Link run and attack however you want.

Basic Actions

Walk/Run/Jump/Roll

Link will move in the direction you touch. Touch
and hold the stylus on the Touch Screen close to
him to walk, or farther away to run.

Run over small gaps in
the ground to make Link
automatically jump.

While running, try
repeatedly drawing small
circles on the edge of the
screen to roll in that direction.

If you roll too many
times in a row, Link will
get dizzy. Be careful!

Try drawing
a small circle
while Link is
running.

Something might
happen if you run into
a tree and shake it by
doing this move...

Talk/Check

looks suspicious.

When a DS icon appears in
a text window, make sure to
look up at the top screen.

Pick Up/Throw

Tap rocks, pots, and barrels to pick them up.
Then simply tap the place on the ground you
want them to land to throw them. They will
break when they hit the ground. You might
just find something nice inside.

Just tap the
place you
want to throw
the item!

Swinging Your Sword

During your travels you will find a sword. Of course, you can attack enemies by
swinging your sword, but you can also cut grass, break pots, and flip switches as well.

Targeted Attack

Tap on an enemy to
immediately swing
your sword in the
direction of that
enemy and attack.

Slash Attack

Quickly slide the stylus
in the direction that
you want to swing your
sword to attack in
that direction.

Slide your stylus
perpendicular to the
direction that Link is facing
to swing your sword.

Slide your stylus in the
direction that Link is facing
to stab in that direction.

Spin Attack

Slide your stylus in a
circle around Link to
make him swing his
sword around him and
perform a Spin Attack.
Be careful: Link will get
dizzy if he performs
this attack too many
times in a row.

Grab Push/Pull

Tap blocks and levers
to grab them and then
tap the arrows to move
them in that direction.
Tap and hold the arrow
to continue moving.
Some blocks and levers
can’t be moved.

lever to grab hold of it...

This move comes in handy
when you are surrounded by
enemies or you want to cut
a lot of grass.

Next, tap the arrow to
move it in that direction.

Items

Some items must be equipped before you can use them, and
some items can be used right away. Try using equipped items
in all kinds of ways!

Boomerang

You can use your boomerang to attack enemies,
break pots, flip switches, and pick up small items.
Just draw the path that you want it to travel with
your stylus. As long as it doesn’t hit an obstacle, it
will follow the path that you have drawn. If you are
holding the boomerang, you can also tap an enemy
to immediately hurl the boomerang at it.

Using Equipped Items

When you get a new
item, it will appear
equipped in the upper
right-hand corner of
the screen. When you
want to use the item
that you have equipped,
tap the icon to hold it.
Then you can use it! Tap
Items (see page 10) on
the Main menu to equip
another item. Each item
is used differently after
it is equipped.

Equip

Tap the item you want
to equip.

Put Away

Tap the icon on the upper
right once more.

Hold

Tap the icon in the upper­right corner to hold it.
And when you want to
put it away...

Bombs

After you place a bomb, it will explode, blowing
up enemies and breaking walls that have cracks
in them. Throw bombs in the same way you
would throw a pot or a rock (see page 14). But be
careful—if you are too close to a bomb when it
explodes, you will take damage!

Phantom Hourglass

The Phantom Hourglass is a mysterious item that
you will find during your adventure. You’ll have
to discover this item’s ability for yourself...

20

Replenishing Items

As you defeat enemies, cut grass, or break pots,
you will find hearts and Rupees that you will pick
up as soon as you walk over them. They are hidden
in a variety of places, so try different ways of
finding them.

Heart

These will replenish some of your Life Gauge
(see page 9).

Rupees

Pick these up to earn Rupees you can spend
at stores. The value of a Rupee depends on
its size and color.

Green (x1) Red (x20)Blue (x5)

Heart Containers

If you find a Heart Container, the maximum
number of hearts in your Life Gauge will increase
by one and it will be completely filled.

Exchange Items with
Other Players!

If you talk to someone named Freedle during
your adventure, you can put ship parts or
treasure (see page 12) in his magical boxes
and exchange them with other players
wirelessly using Tag Mode.

Place ship parts or treasure into the magic boxes (up to three).

1

Exchange items through one of the methods listed below.

screen (this option will only appear when you have placed items in the
magical boxes; see page 8) and put your game into Tag Mode.

Play a battle through wireless game play or over Nintendo WFC
(see page 25).

* When you are going to play Tag Mode, prepare first by checking “How to Play
Over DS Wireless Communications (DS Wireless Play)” (see page 34).
* While in Tag Mode, you will continue to search for other players even if you
close your Nintendo DS.

areas called Safe Zones and enemies
called Phantoms.

Once you can get on the ship, you will be able to cross the
seas and visit various islands.

be affected by the curse and the
Phantoms can’t reach you. You can
also break red pots to create small
Safe Zones.

Phantoms

Phantoms are fearsome enemies that protect the
dungeon. They can’t be defeated by being attacked,
