	Zeldamastery: Snowhead      Somehow, since this is a parallel universe to Hyrule, Termina's Goron species decides to live in the coldest of weather and not the hottest, as it was in Ocarina of Time. If you are thinking, "Oh no, he's just blabbing on because when you defeat Ghot all of the Snowhead area becomes warm again. The principle of killing Ghot is strange. When you defeat him, the effects of his demise result far away from Snowhead Temple in Mountain Village and Goron Village. I don't know why this is as such; it really doesn't make much sense to me. Anyway, let's go with Miyamoto's prearranged storyline. Before you do anything within the Goron area, you must be able to become a Goron. How should you go about doing such a thing? First, you must traverse the long white path as far east as you go. You should end up in an area in which two Goron houses reside. At the far east end of this area you will find the one and only Kepola Gebola. Don't worry—this is the second and last time you will ever have to talk to him. Follow his feathers to the cave in the distance. There you will find the great Lens of Truth—coolness! If you slap it on, you will find a lone Skultulla, in fact the only Skultulla in the entire northern area of Termina. However, it's fitting that it's in a cave. Spiders belong in such places, not like the one that's crawling up you chair right now! Just kidding. Now that you have the Lens of Truth, you can actually see your way across the abyss to Goron Village without Kepola Gebola's help. Also coolness! Everyone thinks he's annoying, right? Good.      Upon reaching the other side of the great bottomless abyss, you will see a small shadow on the ground. Guess what you should use? The Lens of Truth. Good boy! You get a cookie! You may then speak to the ghost of Darmani and follow him, oh dear Lord this is slow, all the way to the burial chamber for the Gorons. This is what I don't understand: many graves occupy this tomb, but Darmani's is in the center. Also, Darmani has just died, and people are somewhat unsure that he has died. Why is his grave in the center. This was not bad programming. Hear that storyboard artists? You screwed up! Darmani should have been buried in a side grave because when someone dies, they are not placed in the middle of the graveyard, but on the outskirts, and that is how graveyards are ever-expanding. You then recieve the identity of the newly-dead Darmani and his fighting techniques, which are inscribed on his tombstone. This is when you may actually enter the buildings in Goron Village. Ther first building when you enter from the west contains a Goron shop, servants, and one obnoxiously loud baby. The baby asks you where his father is. You really can't tell him because you haven't found him yet. Hold on. Is the Goron race all males? I know the entire Gerudo race is female, but they actually mentioned that in text on the game. I only have seen Gorons referred to as men and I have not, as of yet, seen any women in Snowhead. Hmmm. . . Do the Gerudo and Gorons intermarry? I really don't want to go into these type of plot points. Although they're interesting, they're disgusting.      Veering from strange Medieval customs, the baby asks you to find his father. He is in one of the many large snowballs in the frozen lake or Mountain Village areas, depending on which day it is. You must slash free the snow and then release a bottle of Hot Spring Water on the Goron Elder's frozen body. You may get this where you get the Goron Mask or at the Hot Springs at the farthest-east island in the Frozen Lake. Either way, unfreeze the Goron Elder and learn the first part of the Goron Lullaby. Then return to the baby and play what you have learned for the toddler and he will fill in what his alzheimers-riddled father forgot. The thing I don't get is how the Goron Elder can play the small drum he has at three different pitches. He either needs three drums which play the three different pitches or a timpani setup where a foot press or some type of pull on the drum head creates the difference in pitch. This is also a flaw in some point along the processing line at Nintendo. Before you use this new song, you may want to get a little mask in the same building you are already in. First, light all the torches in the building, when you've done so, the chandelier will start rotating, whence you may roll into each pot hung from the bars, one of which contains "Rock Sirloin," the Goron delicacy. This you must carry all the way to the Goron shivering his little pathetic buns off in Mountain Village. Throw the rock up on top of the stoop of ice upon which he is standing, and he will devour it very unbecomingly, to put it lightly and save the poor Goron's feelings. He will then roll down and give you the Don Gero's Mask. This is also a bit confusing. Is he Don Gero? Did he steal the mask from Don Gero? Did he make this mask to look like Don Gero? I hope the latter is the case, because he does not look anything like a frog should. Also, is the frog choir led by a frog, or is it this Goron which you meet? So much time, so little to do. . . . Scratch that. . . . Reverse it. (Willy Wonka)      Woodfall is inhabited by annoying little ladybugesque creatures that are extremely dumb and blind, but are ferocious if they actually see you. These bugs are the parents of the ensuing temple's bugs that assist Odalwa in killing you. It must be a pretty sad life, your only friend being a deku scrub who lives at the peak of your board and not having much to eat. This has led to their insanity and intense wanting to kill you. Cest la vie. Truly, this isn't just a video game, it is a state of being, a state of total obsession. Oops, did I say that?      You play the song which the monkey sang for you, and miraculously an entire temple arises from the swamp—amazing! The temple is easy, so I will only indulge my boredom in a few characters. Firstly, the boes—black boes to be specific—are the souls of small animals. Boes are animals Poes are people. They have inhabited two of the temples of Termina, releasing their unending havoc on those who come within their sight. Secondly, you may notice that small moth-looking creatures surround the braziers in the temple. Since this temple is so lacking in light (as exemplified in the pathway filled with boes), these creatures flock around the light. This shows the ancient phrase "Moth to a flame" in action. They hurt you if you stay in the way when bringing the lit deku stick around, for they will stop at nothing to get to the light. Finally, the temple's boss, Odalwa, is supposed to be the greatest warrior of the Woodfall area. Far from it! The boss's only good attack is the one in which he becomes a spinning blade, much like the spinning scythes in the Shadow Temple in Ocarina of Time. Generally, he's a very interesting character, whom I will not go into indepth on this page.      Upon defeating Odalwa, you find yourself in a room with a grass curtain behind you. Slash it to find the Deku Princess. She will greet you and call he father stupid, which is very accurate. You must put her in a bottle to bring her back to the Palace. I do not see how this is possible, but if she can fit, she's not very dense, since she looks extremely fat! When you release her before her father, she jumps on his stomach in utmost anger and resentment for his imprisoning the monkey. All is well in the great Deku palace, with daughter treating father link a slave.
