I still have a few things I want to talk about before I dive into linked games. I figured I could do a few mini guides while I work more on exploring the linked games. I unfortunately don’t have as much time as I used to, so hopefully you can make do with these in the meantime. You may remember from a previous post that there was a hidden detail I never knew about in The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons where you can get a special power after defeating the four golden beasts scattered throughout the land. Since they can be a bit difficult to find, I figured I would do a little guide on where they are, when you can get them, and what you can get for finding them.
The First Golden Beast (Summer)
Now before we start, I want to note that each golden beast only appears in one spot on the map during a specific season. The first of these unique creatures can be found right before you enter the third dungeon. To gain access to the third dungeon you need to find a portal to Subrosia which will allow you to get your hands on the attribute of summer for the Rod of Seasons. Once you obtain it, you can use the power of summer to access the third dungeon. However, this also gives you access to the first golden beast. If you make it summertime and head down to the area below the portal, you will find the first golden beast. Note that knocking it into a hole will not count.
The Second Golden Beast (Autumn)
The second golden beast can be encountered once you obtain the power of autumn, the final season you unlock. Once you have this power, head back to the second dungeon. The fastest way to do this is by using gale seeds to warp to the tree where you first get mystery seeds. Once you go up, use the tree stump to change the season to autumn. Then head left and you’ll find the second golden beast right outside the dungeon entrance.
The Third Golden Beast (Winter)
The third golden beast can be found on your way to the sixth dungeon. Once you find the four treasures and open the door to the ruins, you need to solve a quick puzzle to progress. In this area, there is a spot with two red enemies guarding a stairwell. If you change the weather to winter, a golden beast will now be guarding it too.
The Fourth Golden Beast (Spring)
The fourth and final golden beast can be found after you get the pirate ship out of the desert. Once you do this you will finally get access to a stump in this part of the map to change the season. By changing it to spring and heading back to the beach area by the Hero’s Cave, you will find the final golden beast on the right side.
The Final Reward
Now that you have slain all four beasts, you can claim your reward. Head to the stump closest to the first dungeon and change the season to summer. Right below the first dungeon is a stairwell that was hidden under the water. Head down the stairs and you’ll find an old man in gold robes. Talk to him and if you have defeated all four golden beasts he will award you with a special ring. Once you get it appraised it is revealed to be the Red Ring. Not only does it double your attack, but it also doesn’t lower your defense. So, it is actually a pretty useful reward. That is all for this little mini guide, stay tuned for next time. Have a good night!
