[shadow=dimgray,left,300]THE GNARLED ROOT DUNGEON[/shadow]
For the walkthrough, I have used zelda.com's guide to Oracle of Seasons.
Get the Wooden Sword
Travel west from Horon Village to reach the Hero's Cave. Push blocks and hit switches to make it through the cave, avoiding Keese and Gels along the way. In the last chamber of this seven-room cave you'll find the Wooden Sword.
Find the Gnarled Root Dungeon
After getting the Wooden Sword, return to Horon Village, and go to the large gate in the top-right corner of the village. Hit the large gate with your Wooden Sword, and go up one more screen. Go up to the tree, hit the bubble with your Wooden Sword to make the tree wake up, and talk to it to receive the Gnarled Key.
After receiving the Gnarled Key, leave Horon Village through the top exit. Go up one screen, right one screen, up one screen and left one screen. Use the Gnarled Key on the keyhole to make the Gnarled Root Dungeon appear right next to you.

Gnarled Root Dungeon - Small Key Guide
As you explore Gnarled Root Dungeon, you'll require two Small Keys. If you come to a locked door as you follow these directions to the Boss Key and other items in this Dungeon, use this guide to determine which Small Keys you may have missed.
Small Key One - From Start, go up one screen and push the top-right block in any direction to open the doors. Go right one screen and defeat all of the enemies to get a Small Key.
Small Key Two - From Start, go up one screen then left one screen through the locked door. Defeat all of the enemies then go up one screen and walk into the mine cart to begin riding it. After the mine cart stops, go up the steps in the top-right corner and go right one screen. Hit the switch with your sword then go left one screen, and jump back into the cart. After automatically jumping out of the cart, go up the steps then down the steps on your right. Follow the path, then step on the only switch to get the Small Key from the treasure chest that appears.
Gnarled Root Dungeon - Find the Mini-Boss
From start, go up one screen then left one screen through the locked door. Defeat all of the enemies then go up one screen and walk into the mine cart to begin riding it. After the mine cart stops, go up the steps in the top-right corner, and go right one screen. Hit the switch with your sword, then go left one screen and jump back into the cart.
After automatically jumping out of the cart, go left one screen and open the chest to get the Bombs. Go right one screen, up the steps, then left one screen. Bomb the crack in the top wall, then go up one screen through the opening, working your way through the maze to the top of the room. Go up one screen through the locked door to start fighting the mini-boss.
Gnarled Root Dungeon - Defeat the Mini-Boss
To defeat the Moblins, concentrate all of your attacks on one of the two Moblins while avoiding their boomerangs when they throw them. Once you defeat one of them, both will disappear.
Gnarled Root Dungeon - Get the Seed Satchel
From Start, step into the Mini-Boss Warp then go left one screen. Go to the far-left block, push it up one space and go down the stairs. Follow the path through the sideview screen to get the Seed Satchel.
Gnarled Root Dungeon - Get the Boss Key
From Start, go up one screen then left one screen through the locked door. Defeat all of the enemies and go up one screen. Use your Ember Seeds on the pots next to the left door to open it, then go left one screen through the door. Defeat all three enemies in this room to make a treasure chest appear with the Boss Key.
Gnarled Root Dungeon - Find Aquamentus
From Start, go up one screen then push the top-right block in any direction. Go right one screen, use your Ember Seeds on the pots next to the top door to open it, then go up one screen through the door.

Use your Wooden Sword on the horn until it begins to blink, then pull up your Shield to block its attacks whenever possible. If the boss rears its head back get away because it will charge into the wall. It takes about 10 hits to defeat Aquamentus and earn the Fertile Soil.
