The '''Village of the Blue Maiden''' is the second stage of [[Eastern Hyrule]], a level featured in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]''. It introduces the [[Dark World]] and [[Moon Pearl]]s.

==Story==
When the [[Link (Four Swords Adventures)|Links]] arrive, they learn through the [[Tingle Times]] volume 2 that children in the village are going missing.{{Ref|FSA|335|Tingle Times sign}} They are also greeted by an [[Old Man|old man]] who reveals that their town is struggling and that someone who can sense [[Moon Gate]]s could help them.{{Ref|FSA|1102|Old Man}} [[Kaepora Gaebora]] appears and tells the Links that the [[Four Sword]] gives them the power to sense Moon Gates.{{Ref|FSA|338|Kaepora Gaebora}} Upon returning to the man, he gives them a [[Moon Pearl]].{{Ref|name=pearl|FSA|1099|Old Man}}

As the Links explore the village, they learn about the [[Seeker's Guild]], who are trying to discover what made the children go missing.{{Ref|FSA|1883|Woman}} The Links join the guild and find the Secret Agents throughout the town, who reveal hidden messages said by the [[Mage]]s. The message appears to reference the [[Shrine Maidens]].{{Ref|name=leader|FSA|2050|The Leader}}

The Links also find the [[Man Who Lost His House]], whose home was accidentally spelled away along with his girlfriend [[Sweetie]] by [[Iris]] the mage. By finding Iris's [[Magic Book]], Iris can return his house to normal.{{Ref|name=iris|FSA|441|Iris}}

By going through a passage within the Man Who Lost His House's home, the Links can access the eastmost portion of the village. There they encounter two [[Shadow Link]]s. Defeating them will return the village to normal and bring the children back from the Dark World.{{Ref|FSA|1169|Seeker}}

==Features==
===Shooting Gallery===
In the west of the town is a shooting gallery. The mage within the building asks if the Links want to see if they have a connection to the [[Force Gem]]s.{{Ref|FSA|715|Mage}} If they agree, the Links receive ten [[arrow]]s to try and shoot the Force Gems and avoid the [[Octorok]]s. They keep any Force Gems that they hit. They can only play once, as the mage calls them greedy if they try again.{{Ref|FSA|719|Mage}}

===Maze Game===
Outside of the Seeker's Guild is a Moon Gate which leads to a maze game. The girl running it says they race all day because there are no adults and offers the Links to try to win some boots.{{Ref|FSA|2056|Girl}} If they reach the [[Hide-and-Seek Boy]] at the end of the maze before 20 seconds are up, they will gain access to a house with the [[Pegasus Boots]].{{Ref|FSA|2066|Hide-and-Seek Boy}}

===Treasure Chest Game===
A game in which the Links open treasure chests can be found in the [[Dark World]] in the north of the village. It is run by the [[Treasure Chest Shopkeeper]].

===Shop===
Next to the Seeker's Guild is a shop. The [[Shopkeeper|woman who owns the shop]] is upset that the Seeker's Guild is getting so much attention, so she stands in line for her own shop and does not allow other customers in.{{Ref|FSA|1295|Shopkeeper}} By teaming up, the Links can push her out of the way and access the shop to find a chest with a [[Moon Pearl]]. The customers are grateful, but they're worried the woman will block the door again.{{Ref|FSA|1334|Customer}}
