UKUKU PRAIRIE
*************
After your valiant defeat of the Slime Eyes, the owl will fly down and hoot at you some more. Blah, blah, the same...After his departure, head up to the warp hole you found. Go on right and follow the path until you meet up with Tarin. He’ll knock down a bee hive if you let him have your stick. Take the fallen honeycomb and go down a screen. Bomb the giant Moblin-like statue for a shortcut. Now head back to Mabe Village.


MABE VILLAGE
“”“”“”“”“”“”
Go a screen up from the town’s Shop. You’ll see an odd shrine surrounded by stones. Pick them up and toss them aside. Enter the building and slip into the bed. You’ll dream of a shrine of dreams, the Dream Shrine! This shrine of dreams makes the dreamer dream of a shrine, all are dreams, but is the shrine a dream? Akkk, no more tongue twisters!! Ok, you’ll find some tough enemies called Armmimics all over the place. They may not appear strong, but the only way to harm them is to execute a Whirling Blade Technique on them. Simple, but there are cracked floors as well.

To get past them, perform this simple trick–grab onto the wall. You can direct the moves of them and make them all come to a single point. WBT them and you can destroy all of them in one blow! After coming near the end, you’ll find a chest containing 100 rupees. Dash through the crystal at the base of the chests’ structure and go up to find yet another chest. This one has an Ocarina in it! Exit the shrine.

Talk to Marin, who can be found on the normal screen - the rooster’s grave. She’ll teach you a new song for your Ocarina - The Ballad of the Wind Fish! This plays a major role later in the game. Now that you have that in your possession, head back to the right into the Ukuku Prairie.


UKUKU PRAIRIE (revisited) & ANIMAL VILLAGE
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Make your way to the screen with Kanalet Castle’s drawbridge. From there, go down 3 screens and go right a screen. Chop the strange bush to uncover a secret passageway. Enter it and dash through the crystals inside. At the end, you’ll emerge on another island. Go down and to the right. Welcome to Animal Village! Talk to the locals there and explore the town. In one of the houses, you’ll find a bear chef in need of honey.

Trade your Honeycomb for his Pineapple. He’ll tell you that Marin can help you get to the Yarna Desert, where the key to level 4 rests. Depart for Mabe! An easy way to get there is by way of warp holes. The second one you’ll find is south of Animal Village. Warp back to the Ukuku Prairie and go left to enter Mabe.


MABE VILLAGE (revisited) & TORONBO SHORES
=========================================
Go to the screen Marin is usually on. She’s not there? Check inside her house. A note tells you that she’s on the beach. Go back down to the screen where you found your sword was (Screen C-16). Go right 2 screens and up a screen. Ignore the monkey and go right to discover a chest. Open it and continue down to find Marin! Talk with her and she’ll follow you. Take her back to Animal Village!


ANIMAL VILLAGE (revisited) & YARNA DESERT
-----------------------------------------
Go south of the village and approach the walrus. Marin will start singing to it. It will fall into the ocean in happiness of Marin’s Song. Marin will depart for Animal Village after opening Yarna Desert for you. Enter the dry region and go up 3 screens. Defeat the Lanmola for the Angler Key. Slash at its head to stand as the victor. Don’t get swallowed by the sand pit, though! After thoroughly exploring the desert, go to the entrance of Bowwow’s Dungeon in Tal Tal Heights (Screen F-4).


TAL TAL HEIGHTS
***************
From the screen with the entrance to Bowwow’s Dungeon, go up a screen and lift the stones up. Walk right on the upper path until you get to a screen with 2 Elite Moblins and a stone blocking the path right. Defeat the Moblins and go right. If you explore the area a bit, you’ll find your third warp hole, as well as the keyhole for level 4. Unlock the level, and the nearby waterfall will stop flowing, but how do you get to the entrance? Yep, you must jump from above.



TAL TAL MOUNTAIN RANGE
“”“”“”“”“”“”“”“”“”“”“”
Return to the screen with 2 Elite Moblins and the stone (Screen H-3). Go left a screen and up the stairs. Enter the cave via lifting the stones. Inside, defeat the enemies and head right. Push the stones and defeat any Gels that pop up. Make your way to the staircase and go down the stairs. Defeat all the enemies while going to the right. Go up the staircase and head right. Exit the cave and open the chest for some rupees. Reenter the cave and dash through the crystals to the right. Exit again and head right a screen. Enter the cave and go through it to emerge atop a small mountain.

Not far from the exit is Papahl. He’s exhausted and needs energy. Give him your Pineapple. He’ll give you a Hibiscus in return. Leap off the mountain or go back through the cave. Keep walking right until you see a spot to leap off. Jump from it and you’ll land by the entrance of level 4! Enter the fish!

THE ANGLER'S TUNNEL
****************************
L:4 – Angler’s Tunnel

From the start, go up a screen. Go up to the upraised platform and head right 2 screens. Go down and open the chest (Stone Beak). Go left a screen then up 2 screens. You’ll see a pit 3 sprites long. For now, ignore it and continue up. Get the map from inside the chest and return to the screen with the long pit. Jump over it by executing a long jump (Equip Pegasus Boots and Roc’s Feather, then run and jump). In this room, you’ll see a cracked block. Use a bomb to break it and push the remaining block into the water. Open the chest to get a small key. Proceed upwards.

After a screen or two, you’ll be in a room with another cracked block. Avoiding the Anti-Faeries, bomb your way to the chest (small key). Pick up the hearts if you need them. Save and Quit your game or walk back to the level’s first screen now.

From the entrance, walk up. Defeat the enemies and the door will open (how killing them triggers it I don’t know...). Go right and battle the enemies once again. When they’re vanquished, open the chest for the Compass. Go down a screen and kill the Tektites. A small key is inside the chest, and the door will open once every Tektite is gone. After going up, unlock the right door and hop from shallow water to shallow water. Unlock this door and go up.

The chest you see should be gotten with the flippers, but you don’t have them yet, so continue upwards. Do a running jump over the pit when you slash the Gels. Hop over and go up. Unlock the block and defeat the Stalfos and Whrrlrobe. Walk left and destroy the gels for a key...or did you? The key will fall down a flooded hole. With no flippers in your inventory, go down 2 screens and hop across the shallow water to your left.

Continue left and up and you’ll find a chest surrounded by enemies. Vanquish them and open the chest for a Gel. Whoopee. Walk up again and you’ll enter a strange room with odd tiles. Ignore it for now, but keep that screen in mind for later. Traverse right and open the chest. Small Key! Backtrack to the room where the defeated Gels dropped a key into the flooded cave (Left a screen, down 2 screens, right 2 screens, up 2 screens).


Unlock this door. The giant tick-thingy is Cue-Ball. Don’t let it run you over. Stay near a straightway and jump over it as it comes near. Slash it in its abdomen until it disappears. Quickly go up and to the left. If you don’t make it between the blocks, pull the lever on your right back until the blocks separate. Dash for it! After getting through the tight squeeze, walk left and kill the Gels. Open the chest. You’ve got the Flippers!

Go down and study the floor tiles (after destroying the enemies of course). They resemble the ones in the room I told you to remember, right? Either write down the sequence or memorize it. After having it in your head/on paper, go down and swim right. Make your way back to that room that had the same tiles. Perform the correct sequence and a staircase will pop up. Enter it!

Avoid the first Thwomp and go left. Make the Thwomp here crash to the ground as you climb the ladder. Jump on its flat top to get boosted to the exit. This may take practice, so you’ve been warned...Anyway, when you exit, go down and open the chest (Nightmare Key). You have a choice now. Either Save and Quit or walk back to the Mini-Boss’s room. If you Save and Quit, jump into the warp hole leading to the room of the Mini-Boss.

From there, go down a screen and right a screen. Annihilate the enemies and push the blocks to open the way to the staircase. Go down it and explore the cave to find that key that dropped down after defeating Gels. With it in your possession, exit the cave and go left a screen. Walk down 2 screens and left a screen whilst destroying any enemies in your path. Swim to the door and step on the switch to open it. Continue up and unlock the block. Enter the cave and swim to the exit. You’ll come out in a rather small area. Walk left and kill the Gels. Unlock the Nightmare Door and you’ll battle...

A staircase?!?!

Actually, when you go down the stairs, you’ll find a big Angler Fish. You should probably slash at it’s face like mad, but if it stops, move out of the way! It will charge against the wall, making floor tiles drop. Keep slashing at it and it’s fry until it disappears to a Heart Container. Grab it and exit the battle arena. Continue up and gain possession of the Surf Harp!
