I first played Ocarina back in 2003 with the Collector's Edition (which I'm now realizing means that was also the Christmas when we got the Gamecube). I still remember my brother and I playing it and struggling to find the Kokiri Sword. Our cousin, who was a few years older, vaguely remembered having to go to the Sacred Forest Meadow for something, so we stumbled our way through the Lost Woods, then got even more confused at how we were supposed to beat that Wolfos without a sword.

Anyway, I'm good at video games now, which also means I can do some very, very silly things. I saved up 80 rupees - 40 to buy a shield and 40 to buy the deku stick bag upgrade - then went to the Sacred Forest Meadow to do what 9-year-old me couldn't. Beat that Wolfos before getting the Kokiri Sword.
