Dampé's Grave Digging Tour Returns in Nintendo Switch 2 Ocarina of Time Remake

The Grave Digging Tour remains a nighttime exclusive activity within the Graveyard, requiring players to pay a flat fee for each dig attempt. Video Games Chronicle reports that Dampé charges ten Rupees for every dirt clump he excavates. However, the costs can fluctuate if the shovel hits an obstruction. In instances where Dampé encounters hard stones, players are required to pay an additional five Rupees to continue digging through that specific spot.

Financial preparation is a key factor for success in this mini-game. While the initial costs seem low, the randomized nature of the rewards means players might need to dig several times to find the top prize. Video Games Chronicle suggests entering the graveyard with a minimum of 50 Rupees, though carrying 100 Rupees provides a safer margin for those hoping to clear most of the available spots in a single session. The locations of items change every night, so any progress toward finding specific rewards resets if the player leaves and returns later.

Most of the dirt clumps found during the tour are either empty or contain standard currency. Players may uncover Blue, Red, or Purple Rupees, which can help offset the cost of the tour itself. While these monetary rewards are repeatable every night, the primary goal for most players is a unique Piece of Heart. This health-upgrading item is a one-time reward that stays collected once found, though Video Games Chronicle notes it is statistically unlikely to appear on a player's first attempt.

Success in the tour relies entirely on guesswork, as the game provides no visual indicators regarding which dirt clumps hold value. Because the map resets daily, the most effective strategy involves excavating as many spots as possible in a single night. This ensures that the rare health upgrade is eventually revealed before the randomization cycle restarts the following evening.
