The guided tour of Koholint Island is brought to you by Richard B.Sampson Jr., who will help anybody who has trouble with any of thegames posted in his help offering post. (This is almost ashameless self-promotion, but I don't post pictures of myself.Besides, this is FREE, and I don't get any money from this.)To begin the Tour, one must understand how Link arrived onKoholint Island. Long ago in the land of Hyrule, Gannondorf, amaster thief, stole the Triforce. He was later imprisoned in theworld he escaped into. In an attempt to takeover the land ofHyrule, he had his servant Agahnim, take over the world andsacrifice the 7 female descendants of the 7 wise men who imprisonedhim. Ganon was almost successful except that last girl, PrincessZelda had contacted a young lad to save her. This brave herofought with courage to defeat Ganon. His name was Link. Afterthis, Link went on a journey to distant lands to practice hisskills, so he could serve the land he fought for better. When hefelt he was ready, he set sail for Hyrule. On his voyage, a stormhit and wrecked his ship. He eventually arrived on KoholintIsland, how he got there is a mystery, even to him. But before hefell asleep on the shores of this island, he noticed a volcanowith an egg on it, and he thought he heard Zelda's voice.As Link awakens, he is in the house of Marin and Tarin. Marinlooks a lot like Princess Zelda, while Tarin bears a strikingresemblance to Mario. As Link awakes, Marin says to him "What arelief! I thought you'd never wake up! You were tossing anturning.. What? Zelda? No, my name's Marin! You must still befeeling a little woozy. You are on Koholint Island!" Aftergetting out of bed, Marin tells him that he washed ashore and thebeach. He heads to the beach, but Tarin stops him. Tarin thenreturns Link's Shield to him. (Note: Shield can flip enemies ifthe charge Link.) Link then leaves the cottage and explores MabeVillage. He talks to the quadruplets and their parent. Themother has an interesting problem, the child wants a Yoshi Doll.There is a shop in town, too bad your broke. There is also aDream Shrine, too bad you can't move the blocks. There is a TrendyGame, too bad you can't cut the bushes. The is the statue of theFlying Rooster. There is a Phone Booth, (Next Question for Link,What is a Phone?) There is the house of Madam Meowmeow, with herthree dogs. The one want accessories. The other is outside.There is the Fishing Pond, tough luck you need cash to play.There is Ulrira's house with his wife outside. Finally, there isthe library. Talk to everyone, and everything in town. Then, enterthe Library and read all the books except 'Dark Secrets AndMysteries Of Koholint.' The print in that book is too small toread. After doing all this head to the beach. As you hit the areasouth of the village, you will see a sign that points out a placecalled Tail Cave. The cave is locked by the Tail Key. Bypass itfor now, you will return later. Head for Toronbo Shore.At Toronbo Shore, you main mission here is to locate you sword.It is located in an area surrounded by Sea Urchins. You can'ttouch them, but you must push them aside. Some protection willhelp here, maybe 'Shield'ing you hand might help. Once you havereached your sword, an owl appears and says this message:"Hoot! Hoot! So you are the lad who owns the sword... Now Iunderstand why the monsters are starting to act so violently... Acourageous lad has come to wake the Wind Fish... It is said thatyou cannot leave the island unless you wake the Wind Fish... Youshould go north, to the Mysterious Forest. I will wait for youthere! Hoot!"After the owl flies off, grab your sword and get some rupees frommonsters. You will also find a hidden cave, a bomb will open it.Then head to Sale's House O'Banana. You find out Sale love cannedfood and he has a brother. After you have about 20-25 rupee,return to Mabe Village.After you return to Mabe Village, here are some interesting thingsto do. First, cut the bushes and jump in the well. In the wellis your first piece of heart. After you get that, go fishing. Ifyou catch a lunker, you land yourself 20 rupees. There are twolunkers in the pound. The more difficult of the two to land, (Theone under you) holds the second piece of heart. That lunker isworth 32 rupees. A good fisherman can land both lunkers withoutcatching any of the runts. After that, head to the trendy game.First grab the easy prize, the Yoshi Doll. After that, use yourskill and timing to get over 200 rupees. It takes time, but it isworth it. Warning: Don't get the powder here. Remember this: Itis sometimes better to get something for nothing. Why pay 10rupees for Powder, if you can get it for free. Then, leave thetrendy game and go to the field of bushes to the north. Cut someof them down to get a Secret Seashell. Then head to the shop andbuy a shovel and Bombs. You will need them later. After this, goto the house of the Quintuplets and give their mother the YoshiDoll. She will give you a Ribbon. Then talk to Marin at the statueof the Flying Rooster. After you talk to Marin, enter theDoghouse at Madam Meowmeow's and give the Ribbon to her dog. Herdog will give you some canned food. Sale will take that, but fornow, do some digging to find a second Secret Seashell. Afterthat, you may enter the forest.After leaving Mabe Village, Link heads north to the MysteriousForest. He cuts the bush blocking the path. As he enters theforest, he encounters the owl again. The owl tells Link this:"Hoot! Ho, brave lad, on your quest to wake the dreamer! Welcometo the Mysterious Wood! Much of mystery you will find on thisuncharted Koholint island! I'm afraid you may find it a trifledifficult to leave the island while the Wind Fish naps. ... Bythe way, have you ever visited the Tail Cave, which is south of theVillage? Go there with the key you find in this forest... TheWind Fish is watching...Hoot!In the forest, you work your way north. You find a chest youcannot reach. You will need something to move the rocks. Continuenorth and you will encounter the Raccoon. The raccoon will causeyou to get lost, but he says he has an allergy problem. North ofthe tree you arrive at via magic is a Faerie fountain. They willtend to Link if he need aid. You will find a cave that cannot beentered. Head east until you see a Piece of Heart. You can't getit until you can jump to it. Head south and east to the Witch'sHouse. She will give you a Magic Powder if you can get her theSleepy Shroom. Head back to the forest and find a tunnel you canenter. In this tunnel is a chest and a piece of Heart. You willhave to come back for the Piece of heart later. But some crystalsmashing and rock moving on loose footing, can get you through thetunnel with 50 Rupees. Once you get the Sleepy Shroom, return tothe witch and she will make you some Magic Powder, Return to theRacoon and use the Powder on him. The Raccoon turns into Tarin.Head north and then get the Tail Key. The owl return and givesyou this message:"Hoot! Take the key and go to the Tail Cave. Retrieve theInstrument that is hidden there! Go now! The Wind Fish iswaiting! Hooot!"Head south past the village and follow the sign to the Tail Cave.Use the key to open the cave and enter.Link enters Tail Cave to find the first Instrument of the Sirens.As he enters he heads west. Two rooms to the west, he find thecompass. On his way east, a beep sounds from the compass. Thereis a key in the room. He defeats the monsters in the room and thekey appears. He then heads north from the entrance. Another beepis heard, another key is in this room. He defeats all themonsters and steps on a button causing a chest to appear. In it isa key. He heads east to another room. He fights the monsters inthe room and a chest appears when he defeats them all. In thischest is a map. On the map, he notices several chests to thenorth west using the compass. He heads west to find a passagenorth, ignoring the door to the north. To the north of a room withbats and weak floors, a Mini Muldorm was crawling around. Hedestroyed the crystals with his sword and defeated the beast andchest appeared containing 20 rupees. He then saw cracks in thewest wall. He bombed it finding a room to the west. In this roomwas a chest. It contained a secret seashell. He then continuedeast. He heard the beep again in a room with a chest that wasvisible. Surrounding the chest was a Spark. With timing, Linkopened the chest revealing a key. He went north to the locationof another chest on the map. It was high on a ledge and he knew itcontained a key. He continued to the room to the east to find theledge was unreachable. He then headed east through a locked doorguarded by two bats and stafos. In the next room, he could onlygo north. In that next room, three creatures that looked alikemoved around. Link noticed that every time he hit all of them.They flinched when their symbols matched. He timed his swiped towhen they all had hearts. The died leaving three hearts and aChest. In the chest was a stone fragment. He held it in a stoneslab in the room. The slab read "Turn aside the spined ones witha shield..." He then went west and north to a room with anotherlocked door in it. As he approached the door, he saw a blade trapalmost slice him. He need to stop that trap. He pushed a blockso it would stop the trap. He then entered the door. The area heentered had another door in it. He had to work his way around tothe door, dodging sparks. When he reached the door, it wouldn'topen. Just before he gave up, Link leaned on a block that move.As the block moved, the door opened. In the room were spinedcreatures. Link remembered the words of the slab and defeat thecreatures with ease. With there defeat, a underground passage wasrevealed. Link traveled through it to enter another section ofthe Tail Cave. He followed a passage north to an area with a chestin it. He triggered to blade traps and while they were resetting,he ran for the chest. In the chest was the Roc's Feather. Withthe feather, he could jump the gaps in the floors. He could evengrab flying items. He returned to the other part of the cave andwent back to the previously unreachable ledge. Once he jumped thegap, he opened the block at the base of the stair to the ledge.He arrive at the chest to discover the Nightmare Key. The key thatwould let him into the Nightmare's Lair. He then headed to thedoor that was previously unreachable. This room was the room hehad gone north from to reach those odd creature that lookedalike. He went through the east door to run across RollingBones. This funny-looking monster had a giant rolling bone whichLink knew could flatten him. Link jumped it and slashed at thecreature. Eventually, he defeated the monster, rescuing a fairy inthe process. The faerie healed him and he went north. He alsonoticed that a warp to the entrance had appeared. In the next roomwere four blade traps. He trigger them and ran by them as theyreset. He then entered the Nightmare's chamber. It was theMoldorm. Link knew that good couple of strikes to the tail wouldstop the Moldorm. He was right. After he defeated the Moldorm, hegot a heart container and head north to the next room. In thatroom he found the Full Moon Cello. As he took it, the cello playedmusic and he was transported out of the cave hearing these words:"...Swamp... A path opens... in the blooms... "As Link headed back to the town he ran into the owl again. Thistime it gave Link these words:"Hoooot! That is an 'Instrument of the Sirens!' I have to admit,at first I did not believe you were real... That Instrument, alongwith the seven others in the set, has the power to wake the WindFish! You must collect them all! I was instructed to give youdirections... Your next goal is north, in Goponga Swamp!! Hoot,indeed!"Before heading to Mabe Village, Link went to Sale's HouseO'Banana. He gave Sale the Canned Food, which he quickly gobbledup, can and all. He then gave Link some Bananas. Link returnedto Mabe Village to find that everyone was upset. He heard MadamMeowmeow was at the center of peril, so he went to her. He knewsomething was wrong when he didn't see Bowwow. When he talked toMadam Meowmeow, he heard the name of an all to familiar problem..."Moblins" Link went to retrieve Bowwow. He went through theforest until he reached the unreachable peace of heart. He jumpedthe holes at got it with no problem. He then went north. Hethen went east at the rock barrier until Link found the cave.Near the cave was Owl Statue, on it was this inscription:"THE WIND FISH IS IN NAME ONLY, FOR IT IS NEITHER."Link then entered the cave of the Moblins. He got a warm welcomeas the moblins charged him. He worked his way to the Moblin King.The Moblin King feared that Link was an assassin sent by MadamMeowmeow to kill him. The Moblin had a Flying Tackle Attack thatleft him stunned if he missed Link. Link Took advantage of thisand destroyed the Moblin King. Another Faerie appeared and shehealed Link. He entered the next room and rescued Bowwow.After leaving the Moblin Cave, Link heads east to encounter the owlagain. The owl speaks to Link with this message:"Hoot! That is a fearsome looking animal you have there! Do notforget, the next instrument is in Goponga Swamp!"Link looked on the east side of the swamp to find an entrance onlyto find all ways blocked by rocks. He went back to the forest andheaded for a western entrance to the swamp. To the north of thewestern exit of the forest was a house. In it, Link found a manby the name of Mr. Write. His hobby of writing letters has beenboring for him since he doesn't have a writing friend. Linkthought that he could help. Link then went north from the houseto a cave. In the cave, Link found two chests. In the one was 20rupees, the other was unreachable. Maybe later he will be able tomove the skull blocking it. Link left the cave and went south.He found a phone booth that was next to Mr. Write's House. To thenorth of this cave exit was an owl statue. Link read theinscription on it before heading to the phone booth to the south.The inscription stated this:"MUSIC, THE FISH STIRS IN THE EGG YOU ARE THERE..."To Link, these words made no sense. When Link entered the phonebooth to the south, he called the one person who could help him,Old Man Ulrira. Old Man Ulrira told Link to take Bowwow toGoponga Swamp for a feast. When Link approach the swamp, he readthe sign:"DANGER! Keep out! (Except Bowwow)" Link took Bowwow intothe swamp an Bowwow ate almost every danger there. Link found achest in the swamp containing 50 rupees. Link then found theentrance to Bottle Grotto. He left Bowwow outside and enteredBottle Grotto.When Link entered the Grotto, he noticed the chest in the vases.He couldn't move the vases and headed north. He entered a darkroom. He knew what the powder did to lamps and used it on alamp. To the west was a locked door, but a door had opened to theeast. He went east and encountered two stafos. With theredefeat, a key appeared. Link used the key on the locked door tohis south. In this room was a dead end, but with the defeat ofmimic in the room revealed the chest with the compass in it. Hethen went to the room east of where the first key was. He found acrystal switch. He knew how they worked and made his past thebarriers. In the room to the south, he heard the familiar beep.He opened the chest in the room to find a key. He then returnedto the first locked door he saw. He went through it into anotherdark room. When he defeated the bats, a door to the northopened. He went through the door with timing to dodge the bladetraps. A chest was in the room, on the other side of a gap.Link defeat the monster guarding the chest and heard the doorbehind open again. He open the chest to find the map of theGrotto. He looked at it and saw why it had gotten its name. Hethen returned to where the second key was. In the room east ofthe location of the second key was a bunch a ledges. He heard thetone of a key in the room. Link jumped the ledges and found theswitch that caused the chest to appear. In the chest was thekey. Link then went north with the powder he grabbed. Link foundtwo Mask Mimics waiting for him. Link defeated them and saw a keycome down, on the other side of a wall. Link retraced his steps afound a path to the key, and returned to his set path. To spinyshelled creatures rushed Link in the next room. But he defeatedthem using the same tactics as before. He then went north througha locked door. In the room to the north was a dead end. But Linkthought this out, the door might be revealed with a little movingof blocks since that was all he could move. He pushed the blocksonto the diamonds to reveal some stairs. He followed the stairsto a room on the far side of the Grotto. The room he was in wasdark but he found a one way door to the north. In the next roomwas Hinox, a giant, bomb-throwing cyclops. With fancy footworkand quick slashes, Link defeated Hinox and a faerie healed him.Another warp appeared in this dungeon. It lead back to theentrance and the chest. Link went east to a room with a stoneslab and a closed off stairs in it. In the north room, wereseveral creatures, including a vacuum mouth and a chest. In thechest was a piece of the stone slab. Link returned to the slaband read the inscription. It stated:"First, defeat the imprisoned Pols Voice, Last, Stafos..."Link thought of this as he went north. In the northern most room,he opened a chest with 20 rupees, grab a flying bag of powder andheaded west using his last key. The room was dark, but not darkenough that Link didn't see the approaching Boo-Buddies. He lit alamp and they ran. He chased them out and a chest appeared. Init was a power bracelet. He returned to the entrance to get atthat chest. In it was 50 rupees. He then head back to thenorthern most rooms and went east. In the next room, link saw achest and heard the beep denoting a key was in the room. He usedthe switch to get to the chest and found another small key. Hecontinued west to a room with a exit to the south and east. Hewent south to find a meaning to the slab. He followed its wordsand a chest appeared with the Nightmare Key in it. He then wentthrough the eastern locked door. Link used the pots to get to thepassage to were the Nightmare had its Lair. He even found afaerie that healed him. In the passage, Link came across astubborn elevator. Link figure some more weight would move theelevator. So he grabbed a vase and continued on. Link wentthrough the nightmare door to find the Genie. The genie tauntedLink that it was free from harm in the bottle. So Link broke thebottle when the genie entered it and dodged the genie's shots.Link, after destroying the bottle, defeated the genie. He grabbedthe heart container and went west. In the room to the west was theConch Horn. As he grabbed it, he was transported out of thegrotto hearing these words:"...PRAIRIE... ...PRAIRIE... The Prairie is waiting..."After Link left the Grotto, he decided to do something beforereturning Bowwow. He went to the cave with the unreachable chestin it. He moved the skull and opened the chest. In the chest,Link found 50 rupees. Link then headed south to the forest. Linkheaded to were he found the Sleepy Shroom. He entered the tunnelnear it and worked his way to the piece of heart in the tunnel.He then found his way to the other side of the tunnel. He now had6 heart containers at this time. He went north of the tunnel tothe area west of the faerie pond. He thought that the lone rockhid something. He moved it to discover that hid a stairway. Inthis cave, he found the Mad Batter. He tricked the Batter intogiving him more powder. He then left the lair of the Batter tohead to the northern cave. He moved the rocks only to see a giantpit with a chest in the one corner. He left and went to the chestin the forest. In the chest was a Secret Seashell. He thenreturn Bowwow to Madam Meowmeow. Link then headed east to UkukuPraerie.

Near the castle, Linknoticed a strange Mansion. It was the legendary SeashellMansion. Link entered and with his five Seashells, he was awardeda sixth.

On the secondfloor. Link defeated a knight that was sealed in the wall, to getthe fourth leaf. Link had to leave the castle to get to the partof the castle that the last leaf was in. He knew that a Ball andChain Knight had it. He entered the ante-chamber to find the doorwouldn't open without force. Link opened it with a vase andfought the knight to win the final leaf.

When he picked it up, he heard these wordsas he was transported out:"...WATERFALL... It is hidden in the waterfall..."After Link left the Key Cavern, he went east so he could climb thestairs to go to an area he found a cave in. He ran into the owlagain. It gave Link these words:"Hoot! How many Instruments have you gotten so far? When youplay the Instruments in front of the Egg, the Wind Fish will wakeand you will leave this island. Now, you must hasten to the YarnaDesert! The dark, monstrous inhabitants of the sand will show youthe way! Hoot Hoot!"Link then went to the cave and broke the strange crystals.

Linkheaded for Animal Village. On his way, he met Tarin next to atree with a bee's honeycomb in it. Tarin asked Link for the stickso he could get the honey. Link gave Tarin the stick. As Tarinbumped the hive. The bees came out, very angry and attackedTarin. As Tarin ran, the honeycomb fell and Link took it. Maybehe could find someone else who would want it. Tarin might not wantit after this. Link searched the praerie and found a tunnel southof Kanalet castle that took him to the side of the bay whereAnimal Village was. When Link entered he talked to everybody.Everybody missed Marin. Link met Sale's brother and learned thathis sculpture of Martha was missing something. Link also learnedsome manners from Ms. Goat, but where can he get a flower. Linkalso learned of the dream shrine and the lazy walrus that sleepsnear the entrance of Yarna Desert. He last visited Chef Bear.He gave Chef Bear the Honey for a Pineapple, now who would want apineapple. He also found out that Marin could wake the Walrus.Link decided that before searching for Marin, he would search thearea near Animal Village. Just south of the village, Link sawanother Warp Tile or Warp Zone. Link continued exploring thearea. He found the annoying, fat walrus. It was dreaming aboutMarin. Link headed north to find a blocked Cave entrance outsideof the Village. He bombed it open to search the cave. He bombeda wall in the cave to find another path. Link bombed a rock so hecould get to a Piece of Heart later on that he saw in the cave.Link decided to search the area west of the village. Link wasonly able to go an island via bridge. On the island was an owlstatue. He read the statue to discover these words:"SECRETS ARE LIKE WATER WHEN IT COMES TO BRIDGES"Link figured there was something under the bridge, but he couldn'tswim without flippers. He dug around the island and discovered asecret seashell. Link then headed for the Warp Zone. Linkstepped on to it and fell into a hole. Then, like he was shot outof it, he soared into the air. He came down light as a feathernear the tile in Ukuku Praerie. Link decide to dash some trees.>From one near the tile he arrived at, he found a faerie thathealed him. He then traveled south of the entrance to Mabe Villageto a Phone Booth. He dashed the tree right near it to find asecret seashell. Once he entered the village, Link talk to somepeople in town to find Marin had left the village. In her house,she left a note. It read "At the beach... Marin" Link decided tohead down to the beach. On his way, he went to a lone tree by theTail Cave. He dash attacked it to find another Secret Seashell.Then he searched the beach to find Marin at a lone area. He startedto talk to her. She then talked to him as they watched the ocean.He words are as follows:"Oh, Link, I'm glad you found this place. Will you stay and talkto me for a while?""I wonder where these coconut trees come from? ...Tarin saysthere is nothing beyond the sea, but I believe there must besomething over there... When I discovered you, Link, my heartskipped a beat! I thought, this person has come to give us amessage...""... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... If I was a sea gull, I would flyas far as I could! I would fly to far away places and sing formany people! ...If I wish to the Wind Fish, I wonder if my dreamwill come true... ... ...""Hey! Are you listening? Link, are you listening to me?""I want to know everything about you...Err...Uhh, Ha ha ha ha!""Hunh? The walrus wants me to go to him? It doesn't matter, Iwill go with you to him..."Link decided not to take Marin to Warp Tile. He first moved somerocks to open a chest containing 50 rupees. Link and Marin thenmade there ways to a passage in the ground, on the other side of alarge gap. Inside, they found deep water. They continued northto find a lone bush near the statue of Martha. Under it was aSecret Seashell. We headed through a cave to the rock maze nearthe bay. We then went through the tunnel to the village. Wecontinued to the Walrus. Marin sang her song and the walrusjumped out of way. Marin then went to Animal Village to sing.Link headed back to the Warp Tile and entered Mabe Village. Inthe shop, Link bought a bow an arrow set for 980 rupees. Link thenheaded for the Dream Shrine. Once inside, Link got into the bed.Once he fell asleep, he was in another temple. He worked his wayaround the temple to reach two chests. In the first was 100rupees, and in the second was the Ocarina. Link tried to play theonly song he knew from a long time ago. He knew that he learnedthe words, but never the tune so his "Lumberjack Tune" didn't fitthe song. Then it hit him, "Go to Marin, maybe she will teach youher song." Link went back to the Warp Tile and return to AnimalVillage. Link showed Marin the Ocarina and she taught Link theBallad of the Wind Fish. Surprised at how well he could play thattone, he decided to test it at the entrance of the desert. Whenhe played the there, the walrus appeared, looking for Marin. Linkthen entered the desert. Link did some searching and found a pathon the east side of the desert. It led to a lone area. Under oneof the rocks in the area was a secret Seashell. Link also threwpowder on a lone skeleton and it told him to use a bomb under theswallowing sands. Link then found an owl statue with these wordson it:"SEA BEARS FOAM, SLEEP BEARS DREAMS, BOTH END IN THE SAME WAYCRASSSH!"One word entered Link's mind. This statue was telling him to wakethe Wind Fish. He then entered the area of the swallowing sand.Waiting for him was a Lanmola. Link slashed at its head whileavoiding being sucked into the sand. After defeating the Lanmola,a key appeared and got swallowed by the sand. Link followed it andgot the Angler Key. He then bombed the north wall. In thenorthern chamber, he found a piece of heart. Link then exited thecave.Link decided to leave the desert. On his way out, he ran into theOwl again. The owl told Link these words:"Hoot! The shape of the key shows a fish, swimming up a cascadeof water! Go now to the mountain waterfall! A leap from the topand you will reach your goal!"Link decided to head to the mountains. But the only way he knewwas near the Bottle Grotto. He worked his way there to go passMount Tamaranch. In the area east of the Mount, Link found a WarpTile and the Angler Keyhole. When Link put the key in the keyhole, the waterfall stopped flowing and the cave was revealed. Hethen climbed to the Tal Tal Heights. Link went through a tunnelto find some chests in the tunnels. Link left through on exit tofind a chest with 50 rupees. Link reentered the tunnel. He hadsensed a piece of heart in the cave, but couldn't find it. Linkalso saw an unreachable chest in the cave. He left the cave andwalked around. Link saw Papahl on one of the cliff. Papahl waswaving to Link. Link found a tunnel that took him to Papahl. Inthe tunnel was a chest. When Link opened it a monster poppedout. When Link got to Papahl, Papahl told him that he wasfamished. Out of kindness, Link gave the Pineapple to Papahl.After Papahl devoured it, Papahl gave Link a Hibiscus. Linkthought that Ms. Goat would love this flower. Link went back tothe lower tunnel and went through the shallow water to where thewaterfall was. At that point, Link took a leap of faith. Linkarrived at the entrance to the Angler's Tunnel. Link decided toenter the cave.Once inside, Link headed north and up onto a ledge. He walkedalong the ledge and to the north, he found a chest. In this chestwas a map. Link then headed south to some steps near a crossshaped pit. Link dash jumped over the pit and continued east.Link bombed a brick and pushed another to get at a chest. In thatchest was a key. Link continued north and saw another chest. Hebombed the block in front of it and opened the chest to find a key init. Link returned to the room north of the entrance. Fromthere, Link east on the ledge and opened a chest which contained apiece of a stone slab. Link finally left the edge North of theentrance an went east. In the chest in that room, Link foundcompass. He went south then to find that a key was in the room.He opened the chest in the center of the room to find the key. Hewent back to the room with the compass and went east through alocked door. He continued north through another locked door. Inthe next room was an unreachable chest. He then came to the crossshaped pit. He jumped it and went north. He saw some stair butdecided to head west. In the next room, Link heard the tone of akey, but when he defeated the monsters, the key fell into a pit,with a splash. Link went south to find the stone slab. On theslab were these words:"The glint of the tile will be your guide...""What did that mean?" thought Link. Link continued south to find akey he need to open a door he found to the north. When hecouldn't go south, he started to circle the cave, until to theeast of a room with five tiles he heard the tone. On the way hefound a chest containing a monster, but the chest in this room hada key in it. Link returned to the door and opened it. In thenext room was Cue Ball. Link thought this monster wasinvulnerable, until he hit its back. Link took several more swingat Cue Ball's back until, it disappear. A faerie appeared andhealed Link and Link continued north. In the next room werebricks, four of which tried to seal the room. Link saw apullswitch in the room and pulled it to max length. He then ranfor the west door. In the next room were flippers. Link could nowswim in deep waters. To the south was a room with 5 tiles, likeLink saw before, but there was light on these. The words madesense. Link followed the light and opened a door. He then wentto the other set of tiles and repeated the process, revealing astairway. Link worked his way by the Thwomps, even used one as ajump point until he reached a ledge. In a chest on this ledge wasthe nightmare Key. On his way to the stairs he spotted earlier,he found 50 rupees in a chest. He also saw another stairway,blocked by a keystone. Link then went in the passage. In thepassage, Link found a pool with a key in it. Link then returnedto the unreachable chest. In it was 50 rupees, Link also found afaerie that healed him. Link went to a closed door with a floorswitch in front of it. In pushed it and went to the stairs he sawearlier. He saw through the passage to reach the NightmaresLair. Link enter the Lair only to find a stairway. Link went downit into a big pool of water. Waiting for him was The AnglerFish. Link thought if the fish didn't see him, he could defeatit. Link slashed at the light on the tentacle. After hitting itenough times, the fish explode and Link grabbed a heart container.After leaving the water, Link went north to find the Surf Harp.He grabbed it and the Music played. With it, he heard these wordsas he was transported out:"...BAY... Your road goes into the bay..."Link heads west from the Angler's Tunnel to a cave he spiedearlier. In the cave, Link found a giant fish. The fish's namewad Manbo, child of the Sun Fish. He asked Link if he had aOcarina. When Link said yes, Manbo taught Link "Manbo's Mambo".It was a mystical song of Transportation. Link left the cave andentered a tunnel near the Angler's Tunnel. As Link went thru thiscave, he came out east of the Warp Tile. To the east Link saw acave in the water. Link jumped in the water and swam to it. Inthe cave was a Piece of Heart under water. Link then went to themoat around the castle. He swam through it until he found anotherPiece of Heart. Along the way, Link noticed a ghost followinghim. It said, "... the house... ...take me... ...the house......at the bay..." Link had passed this house earlier with Marin.Link decided to help the ghost, but he was feeling lonely anddecide to do some exploring with the ghost at his side. Hereturned to the cave in the bushes and traveled through it. Itwas a tunnel to a hidden grove. He went west to another cave. Inthe cave was the Mad Batter, which this time gave Link moreBombs. Link then went to the lone Island and found a seashellunder the bush on it. He then took the ghost to the house. In thehouse the ghost said these words:"...Nostalgia... ...unchanged... ...boo hoo... ...Enough......cemetery... ...take me... ...my grave..."Link figured that the grave was that lone grave near the Witch'sHouse. Link thought about the distance and decided to play"Manbo's Mambo". He arrived near the house of someone calledCrazy Tracy. He thought about going back there. He went east andsouth to the cemetery. He worked his way thru it until he reachedthe witch's place. It took some walking until we reached theGhost's Grave.

As Link thought if thiswas just a trick of the mind, something blocked the sun. Linklooked up and smiled. Flying above him was the Wind Fish, Linkthen knew that Koholint Island still existed. As he sailed home,he felt as he was being watched by an angel. Some people, afterLink told them of the island of Koholint saw a Guardian Angelflying around Link. They swore that it looked just like the girlLink described as Marin. When they told Link this, all Link saidwas this, "Marin got her wish, she always wanted to fly." Somepeople even said that when he said this, there seem to be a tearin Link's eye.-------------------------------------------------------------------Shell Searching on the Koholint Island.-------------------------------------------------------------------Some of the puzzling facts of Koholint Island is the SecretSeashells from Seashell Mansion.

What she did not know was that the Windfishtransferred her love for Link into Pieces of Heart Containers. TheWindfish then hid the location in Marin's Chest of Drawers. AfterMarin had brought Link to her home, she discovered the paper anddecided to get rid of it. When she finally reached the shore toget rid of the paper, the owl came to her and said these words:"If you destroy that paper, Link shall never survive. His lifewill be lost to you. If you really love him, you will do what isright."The owl flew off and Marin thought of what the owl said. She thenran home and put the paper on Link's shield. This is what thepaper said:"Finding the pieces of heart will continue life. Life is hiddenin 12 parts of the island, either in sight or hidden. Thislocation is in the words below.1) The well in Mabe Village. Jump in.2) The Fishing Pond in the Village.

Link found this to be true when he gotthe magnifying Lens. He still laughed when it started out as aYoshi Doll. Link knew that the Quadruplets' lithe sibling wantedone. Link gave it to the child and got a ribbon in return. Hethen gave the ribbon to a pup that wanted it. For this he got acan of Dog Food. Link remembered that Sale wanted some CannedFood. Link gave the food to Sale and got some Bananas. He latergave the Bananas to the monkey and it built him a bridge. Themonkey left a stick behind that Link took. On his travels, Linkfound Tarin on his travels and gave the stick to him. Tarin usedto stick to knock down the Honeycomb. Link took it to Chef Bearto receive a Pineapple. In Tal Tal Heights, Link meet Paphal andgave him the Pineapple for a Hibiscus in return. He gave theHibiscus to Ms. Goat to get a letter to take to Mr. Write. Uponthe letter's delivery, Link got a broom. Link gave the broom toGrandma Ulrira and got a fishhook. Link then went to a bridge anddive under it to meet the fisherman. He gave the Fishhook to theman and got the Necklace of Martha. He returned the Necklace andgot a Scale from Martha. Link then put the scale on the statue toenter the cave with the Lens.
