The '''Lost Woods''' is a recurring location in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. It usually takes on the form of a maze, with only one real path. The same screen repeats until [[Link]] takes the right direction a number of times. If a wrong turn is taken, the maze will reset, and Link must start again.

==''The Legend of Zelda''==

The Lost Woods in ''The Legend of Zelda'' appears in southwest [[Hyrule]], and guards access into the [[Graveyard (The Legend of Zelda)|Graveyard]]. Link can learn the secret to getting past the woods by paying the [[Old Woman]] in the waterfall, who gives Link information.{{Ref|LoZ|50|Old Woman}} After paying her a decent amount, she tells Link the secret to getting past the Lost Woods, which is to go north, west, south, and west.{{Ref|LoZ|53|Old Woman}} Link can then use this information to traverse through the Lost Woods, allowing him to reach the Graveyard, and subsequently, the hidden [[Magical Sword]] and [[Level 6: The Dragon]]. Alternatively, if Link collects the [[Stepladder]] from [[Level 4: The Snake]], he can cross the river on [[Death Mountain]] and access the rest of the overworld without passing through the Lost Woods. However, since the Stepladder is found in [[Level 6 (Second Quest)|Level 6]] in the Graveyard during the [[Second Quest]], Link must pass through the Lost Woods to access that area.

==''A Link to the Past''==

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', the [[Lost Woods (A Link to the Past)|Lost Woods]] are located at the northwest portion of [[Hyrule]] within the [[Light World]]. After acquiring the three [[Pendants of Virtue]], Link travels here to acquire the legendary [[Master Sword]].

 

 

 

In ''Majora's Mask'', Link is traveling through the Lost Woods during the cutscene at the start of the game, looking for [[Navi]]. He is then ambushed by Skull Kid, who takes his [[Ocarina of Time|ocarina]] and his [[Epona#Majora's Mask|horse]]. After confronting the Skull Kid and being turned into a Deku Scrub, he leaves the Lost Woods and ventures into [[Termina]].

==''Oracle of Seasons''==

The Lost Woods in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'' are found west from the [[Tarm Ruins]] and are located at the northwest corner of [[Holodrum]]. Its only inhabitants are a [[Deku Scrub]]. Link first goes to the Lost Woods to make it to the sixth dungeon, [[Ancient Ruins]]. The secret to getting past the Lost Woods is told to Link by a Deku Scrub, who says: ''"travel west, south, east, then north, taking each step in a warmer season than the last."''{{Ref|OoS|1139|Deku Scrub}} If Link follows these directions, he can make it past the Lost Woods.

Later in the game, Link returns here during the [[Oracle of Seasons Trading Sequence|trading sequence]]. After acquiring the [[Phonograph]] from [[Guru-Guru]], Link can enter a small cave southwest of the Lost Woods. Inside, Link finds a Deku Scrub who is singing.{{Ref|OoS|431|Deku Scrub}} If Link plays along with his Phonograph, the Deku Scrub will love it, and teach him the way to his "Secret Spot": ''"If temperatures rise as you go far to the west, you'll find it!"'' By following these exact directions, Link is lead to the resting place of the [[Noble Sword]]. This completes the trading sequence.

==''Four Swords Adventures''==

==''Spirit Tracks''==

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]'', the Lost Woods can be found in the wooded area to the immediate west of [[Whittleton]]. If Link attempts to traverse the Lost Woods without first learning information from the villagers of Whittleton, he will surely get lost and have to start over. By listening to the villagers of Whittleton, he can learn that the trees tell Link where to go, except for the fourth tree, which has ''no sense of direction''.{{Ref|ST|1548|Whittleton Villager}} Link can use this advice to get to the end of the Lost Woods and find the [[Forest Sanctuary]].

 

 

The Lost Woods are a location in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'' North of Hyrule Castle. The Lost Woods are enveloped with a magical mist that swallows Link if he proceeded in a wrong path. To get through the woods, one must use a torch flame and follow where the wind takes the embers. At the end of the woods lies Korok Forest, where most of the koroks and the Great Deku Tree inhabits, and where the Master Sword rests.
