Get rid of the bats and, if nighttime, the Wolfos. Climb the tree on the vine ladder to get a *Heart Piece*. Go right to see Tingle in a red balloon. Shoot a bubble at it to bring him down. Buy the *Woodfall Map* for 20 rupees (if you're out of money, find a red rupee in the chest inside the nearby hole.) Go past Tingle to enter another area. Go right and hit the *Owl Statue* with your sword. Then, climb up the ladder to the hut. If you have the Land Owner's Paper from Clock Town (the exchange you had with the Deku Scrub, giving him the Moon's Tear), exchange the paper for the Swamp Title Deed and the flower. As Deku Link, launch up to the roof of the hut and collect the *Heart Piece*. Then, go left of the hut through the swamp (I suggest you go across as Deku Link, but be sure to land on the green lily pads or he'll drown.) Keep going until you see some pots with steam rising (a nearby sign will say the potion shop is ahead.) Go through the green area to the Potion Shop. If it's Day 2, you will see a cinema of a witch leaving the shop. Go behind the shop to an entrance leading to a forest (like the Lost Woods in Ocarina of Time!) Put on your Bunny Hood and talk to the monkey. Follow him through the woods (he moves quickly and can fool you into following the wrong path, so be quick and careful.) When you reach a couple of other monkeys and an old woman, stop. Talk to her and she'll ask for something (notice that she is one half of Twinrova from Ocarina of Time.) You don't have it, but knowing that she's in trouble will help you. If you saw the cinema of a witch leaving the shop, find her in the forest and talk to her. Otherwise, exit the woods and enter the Potion Shop. Talk to the old hag at the desk (the other half of Twinrova.) She will give you an *Empty Bottle* with Red Potion inside to take to her sister. Exit and re-enter the woods. Follow the monkey again to the old woman and give her the potion when she asks for it (don't press the C-Button it's on before talking to her or Link will drink the potion!) If you do happen to accidentally drink it, go back to the Potion Shop and the lady will give you another potion for free. When you give the potion to the old lady in trouble, she is revived and will leave. Exit the woods and you'll be confronted by some monkeys. One of them will mention that his brother is in trouble. After talking to them, follow them back to the last area before the potion shop. As Deku Link, hop back to the first hut (called the Photo Hut) where the Deku was sitting and enter the building. As human Link, talk to the old lady through the hole in the little cove and she'll give you a *Pictograph Box*, plus a free boat cruise. At the end of the lovely cruise, say yes to disembarking, then change to Deku Link. Follow the monkey inside to the Deku Palace. As Deku Link, walk forward to the Deku guards and talk to them. They will let you enter to see the monkey being punished. Go straight forward to the royal chamber. Talk to the king and the monkey to learn more about the kidnapping of the Deku princess. Use the Pictograph Box to take a good picture of the king (you'll need it later), then exit. That monkey re-appears to explain about the secret entrance to the Woodfall Temple. Before we enter the temple, you need some Magic Beans. Enter the left entrance, then carefully go through the maze, avoiding the Deku guards. If you get caught, you can re-enter the same maze again. Just talk to the Deku Guards. Go around the maze until you come to a hole at the end. Drop down and go into the cove to meet the Magic Bean Salesman (also from Ocarina of Time.) Talk to him to get a free Magic Bean sample. Go to the patch of soft soil nearby and plant the bean. It won't grow without water, so use your empty bottle to get some spring water from the little pond there. Pour the water on the soil and voila! Ride the bean plant to the treasure chest and open it to gain a red rupee (worth 20 rupees.) Talk to the Magic Bean Salesman again to buy another bean for 10 rupees. You may want to buy a couple more, just in case and re-fill your bottle with spring water. Exit the hole, then either backtrack to the main hall of the Deku Palace, or get caught and re-enter the hall. Either way, go through the other entrance and avoid the guards. At the end is a *Heart Piece*. Backtrack or get caught and go in front of the two Deku guards blocking the hall's entrance. Go right, using the lily pads to hop across as Deku Link, then change to normal Link and plant one of your Magic Beans in the soft soil patch. If it's the 2nd Day, it's raining, so the plant will automatically grow. If it's not the 2nd day, use spring water from your bottle. Ride the plant to the top, then launch into the Deku flower. You're on the top level of the palace grounds. You must stay on the top level. Fly to the Deku Flower on the moving platform, then use bubbles to get rid of the Deku Scrub shooting nuts at you. Continue along until you land on a platform with a hole in it. Go through and you're above the main hall that you walked through before! Continue launching into flowers and flying until you reach another platform. Enter the hole and you're in the cage with the monkey that was captured. Talk to him and he'll basically tell you off! Take out your ocarina (pipes as Deku Link) and he'll quietly teach you the Sonata of Awakening. You'll be thrown out when the guards hear you play, but now you can enter the Woodfall Temple! After you're thrown out, go right, hopping across the lily pads, but instead of going straight through, go right and hop on the platform. Use the Deku Flower to launch to the entrance. Once outside in the next area, use the Deku Flower to launch up and get rid of those annoying mosquitoes (if you happen to fall down, you'll need to re-route or play the Song of Time and return here through Deku Palace.) Fly from flower to flower, then fly onto a big log. Hop over to the last flower, then fly onto another platform. The owl (also from Ocarina of Time) will talk to you about the owl statues, then fly off. Read the notes carved in the rock to learn the Song of Soaring. This song will take you to the owl statue locations that you hit your sword with, whenever you're stuck somewhere, lost or whatever. Anyway, continue flying in front of the waterfall, then enter Woodfall. Go right, across the water to the walkway. Watch out for those charging enemies. Use your shield and sword as normal Link (it's easier than using the bubble shooting as Deku Link.) Then, once the enemy is gone, get rid of the Deku Scrub and use the flower it leaves behind. Fly to the next walkway. Make your way around until you reach a walkway with a gold and brown treasure chest (there is another treasure chest nearby that has just rupees inside.) Open the chest for a *Heart Piece*, then fly to the centre platform. Hit the *Owl Statue* with your sword to remember the spot. If it's not Day 1, play the Song of Time and then warp back to Woodfall. You'll need as much time as you can get. Stand on the Deku symbol in the middle. Play the Sonata of Awakening as Deku Link to reveal the Woodfall Temple. Use the Deku Flower to fly over to the entrance (you'll just make it across!) Enter the first temple of the game. In each of the four dungeons in the game, you must find 15 Stray Fairies, then after the temple is back to normal, you need to find the Fairy Fountain and return the Great Fairy to her normal self. You'll then be rewarded with something. Okay, got all that?
