Getting the Master Sword

Head to Kakariko Village and enter the forest to the northwest. Continue north until you find the sign with the direction to the Lost Woods that says, "Lost Woods ahead! Stay out!" Continue north and you will enter them. Head north after entering to find a group of Poe's. Link must follow the one at the north in order to correctly navigate the first section of the Lost Woods.

For the second section – Link must not follow either of the two Poe's to the left and right of the north Poe. After successfully navigating the second section comes the third section. Link must not follow any of the Poe's to the north or end up back at the start just like each of the previous sections.

After you successfully navigate the third section Link will finally be able to reach the depths of the Lost Woods. Head north once in the final area in order to pull the Master Sword out of the pedestal. Travel to Hyrule Castle once you have the Master Sword.

Inside Hyrule Castle Boss: Yuga

The battle with Yuga will be similar to the last time - he will merge with the wall except this time there will be three of him. Run around attacking the Yuga's until you find the correct one - he will be the one who does not turn into a guard. Once you find him – be sure to follow his painting around and continue slashing away with the sword. Repeat until Yuga is defeated.

Head through the door to the north and follow the path to the west. Go through the door to find Princess Zelda's abode. Use the sword to slash the curtain on the north wall to reveal a crack in the wall. Merge with the wall and go inside the crack to find yourself in Lorule.
