The Rabbitland Rescue (Rabbit Haven in the European/Australian version) is a train station found exclusively in Spirit Tracks. It is found on the western portion of the Forest Realm, west of the Forest Sanctuary and southwest of the Forest Temple.
Catching Bunnies
On Link's way to the Snow Realm in search of the Snow Sanctuary, he comes across this station and its lone Hylian inhabitant, Bunnio. This fellow explains to Link that this place is a haven for rabbits; a place where they can get some much-needed frolicking.[1] After making sure Link is 120% devoted to frolicking with the bunnies,[2] he gives Link the Rabbit Net, and explains to him that Link must first catch bunnies in order to frolic with them, as frolicking with someone else's caught bunny is weird.[3][4] With this Link heads off, in search of rabbits. The rabbits can be found anywhere near the Spirit Tracks, either hiding behind rocks or in barrels floating about in the sea. Link must shoot the train's cannon at the rocks or barrels, then proceed to catch it with the Rabbit Net. Caught rabbits can then be found frolicking around in their respective environment in Rabbitland Rescue.
Rewards
There are also many rewards that Link can obtain by catching Rabbits and bringing them to the Rabbitland Rescue. The table below shows the rewards and how to get them.
| Number of Rabbits | Reward |
|---|---|
5 |
Heart Container |
50 |
Swordsman's Scroll #1 |
In addition to those prizes, Link will receive 5 Rupees for every Grass Rabbits he brings and 10 Rupees for every Snow Rabbit he brings to the Rabbitland Rescue.
Force Gem
After Link has completed the Ocean Temple, a strange woman in Castle Town tells Link that her rabbit-loving husband has vanished and that she is very concerned of his whereabouts.[5] She asks Link if he knows where he is, and Link can bring her to the Rabbitland Rescue, much to her delight.[6] After she gets off the train, she sees her husband and gets all excited, pondering what to say to him since it has been so long.[7][8] She proceeds to walk up to her husband and yell at him for wearing that ridiculous outfit and for frolicking with the bunnies, again.[9][10] She stomps off back to the train, and requests Link drives her back to Castle Town.[11] However, once Link goes to the train and prepares to drive her home, she changes her mind, saying she will stay and try to understand her husband's obsession with rabbits.[12][13] She thanks Link for the ride, and gives him a Force Gem. This gem reveals Spirit Tracks west of the Forest Sanctuary, allowing Link access to two new Grass Rabbits.
