The Graveyard Secret is a Secret from Oracle of Ages used within Oracle of Seasons. Link will first need to complete Oracle of Seasons and start a Linked Game record of Oracle of Ages.

Learn the Secret

After completing the first dungeon, Spirit's Grave, a Ghini will appear three screens north of the dungeon at the northeast corner of the Yoll Graveyard. Speak to the ghost and he'll tell you a secret.[1] He mentions that in Holodrum's Graveyard, there is one grave that has no flowers. There is somebody inside of this grave and if Link tells it a secret, something good will happen.[2]

Tell the Secret

In Holodrum, head to the Holodrum Graveyard, located at the southwest corner of the map, where the Explorer's Crypt dungeon was found. One screen south of the entrance to the dungeon, there are 8 graves. During the Spring time, there are flowers right in front of 7 of the graves. The grave that is second from the left on the top row does not have any flowers. Use your Shovel and dig the spot directly above the grave to find a secret staircase. Inside, speak with the Ghini and tell it the secret; the Ghini will then give Link a test. If Link does well, the Ghini will increase Link's strength.[3]

Thirteen Ghini's will appear in the room. Some are Red and some are Blue. After they disappear, the Ghini will ask Link if there were more Red or Blues ones.[4][5] If Link answers correctly, he will pass to the next round.[6] The third and final round will have 6 Ghinis that are one color and 7 that are the other. Furthermore, they will only appear for a brief moment. After successfully guessing all three rounds, the Ghini will reward Link with a Heart Container.[7]

Reward

Link receives a full Heart Container as a reward. In the base game of both Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons, Link can only acquire 14 full heart containers. However, with this secret, as well as the additional heart container Link acquires at the start of a Linked Game, Link is able to acquire a total of 16 heart containers.

After completing the mini-game, the Ghini will then tell Link a secret that he can take back to Labrynna.[8] Back in Oracle of Ages, return to the female Maku Tree and climb inside. Speak with Farore and tell her the secret. A treasure chest will appear that contains the Heart Container.
