3: The Marshy Cave and the Deku Princess

You might notice the fairy floating near the entrance. If you have the Bunny Hood, you can easily leap off as regular link and grab it. If not, you might need to glide Deku Link over to it. There is another fairy in a chest on one of the launcher platforms. Take the launchers all the way across the room. In the next room, walk down the plank and past the locked door. Kill the chopper plant by the locked door to release a 3rd fairy, and grab it. Then you can leap across the little lily pads to the next room. There is a key against the wall in this room, so don't forget to launch towards it and grab it. You can go onto the next room if you want, where you will need to fight 3 turtle monsters. Hit them with a bomb to knock them over, then hit them with the sword, which gets you a map. Go back to the locked door, and open it. Push the block in the middle of this room foward one, then go around to the other side and push it back 2 spaces. Light the unlit torch with a Deku stick. Also, kill the spider in the corner by the already lit torch to release a 4th fairy. Kill all the dragonflys in the next room to get the compass. Leave that room, and put on the Bunny Hood. Light a stick, run up the stairs, and jump across the platforms. Burn the web away with the stick and continue up to the next floor.

Follow the path, killing anything you can on the way. Killing them all will make a chest with a 5th fairy appear. Light the 3 unlit torches to open the door to the next room. Lanch across the next room, careful of the dragon flies to end up back downstairs (But on the upper level). Explore the ledges a bit to find a room where a mini-boss awaits. Not too hard, just Z-target and hack away. Beating him will get you the bow. Exit the room, and use the bow to hit the eye on the ledge all the way across from where you are now. Take the floating launcher that now works over to the door and prepare for another mini-boss.

This boss can be kind of hard. Make sure you have full arrows and lots of bombs before you start the fight. At first, you just havta stun him with Deku link and spit at him. But after 2 spits, his turtle friend comes and makes things more difficult. Wait till he crashes into a wall, then throw a bomb at him. Then the frog part of the boss will jump on the wall. Hit it with an arrow. 3 arrows and the spell on the frog will be broken, changing it back into a normal frog. If you find yourself dying too much, there is another way to fight the boss, but it might take slightly longer. As Deku Link, hide in the launcher in the middle of the room, and launch when it is right on top of you to score a hit, just as if you hit it with a bomb. If you time it wrong, you might take a hit instead, so this meathod really takes patience.

Grab the Boss Key in the back of the room, then head back to the room with the huge plant in the middle. Stand by the door on the upper level, and fire an arrow through the lit torch and into the unlit torch on the plant. When the plant pops up, jump on it and aim through the flame on its torch to hit the other unlit torch. Go through the door that opens. Make your way through the next room carefully. Learn the general layout of it, then fire an arrow at the switch using normal Link and race to go as fast as you can from launch pad to launch pad as Deku Link. Eventually you'll get to the boss door - The real boss.

Boss: Odoruwa

Wow, this game has some pretty interesting bosses. He will leap around the room shouting his cry and try to slash at you. Just target him and hack away. Try to hit him when he slashes and misses, or when he leaps up to try and escape. Sometimes he may summon smaller creatures to help, but when he does, just take them out with a spin and get the hearts they leave. If he traps you in a circle of fire, just stand and wait for it to dissapear. If he traps you in a cloud of locust, don't worry as they do very very little damage and eventually dissapear. After alot of punishment, he will fall over and you will get a heart container.

(Note: If you want to kill this guy really easy, Z target him and hit him dead on with a leaping slash type attack. He will be stunned just enough for you to leap slash again, and so on until he is dead).

(Also Note: If you go back in time, you will need to clear the dungeon again, but once you beat this one, or any of the others, you can simply use a teleporter at the begining to skip to the boss).

In a short cut scene, Link will learn a new song and the poison waters will drain from this dungeon and the surrounding area. You will be teleported to a new room, where the Deku princess is being held. Use an empty bottle to grab her. If you want, you can go back in the dungeon, and get the faries you missed. There are 3 or 4 in the room before the boss, but you havta be quick on hitting the switch and getting over the fire before it reignites. If you are hit by a flame, you are teleported back to the room entrance. There is a fairy underwater in the room with the large block in the intersection. There is also another fairy in the room with the huge flower that you needed to light up with an arrow. It is in the corner, under a pot.

Take the Deku princess back to the king and release her for a short scene, then go back to the entrance of the village and take the left lily pads over to the cave. You will need to follow the Deku guy as normal link, wearing the Bunny Hood. If you get too far behind, the doors will close and you will need to start over. You get a Pig mask if you are fast enough and clear the maze. Return all the faries from the first dungeon to the pond also, that is in the same area as the dungeon. You will get a new sword attack if you turn them all in. Also, once you get the Pig mask, you can goto the injured witch and use it to find a purple cloud. Use the bottle on it to get mushrooms, and take them back to the potion-selling witch. Come back a bit later, and you can get a blue potion from her for free (the potion that heals life as well as magic).
