Catfish's Maw

(continued)

The statues in the side-scrolling section that leads to the Nightmare can be grappled onto with the Hookshot.

To beat the boss, avoid the tail and grab onto the boss's head whenever it peeks out of one of the four holes. By doing this, you'll be able to get the boss out of its hiding spot, and smack the part of its neck with a heart on it with your sword. You have a few seconds to damage it a little bit before it zooms back into the hole. Whenever you get it with the hookshot, the tail reverses direction.

After enough hits, you'll beat the boss and get the Wind Marimba.

Your next mission: the Shrine.

Koholint

Your next stop is not really the shrine, but the Signpost Maze. It's a few screens south of where you end up when you use Manbo's Mamba in the overworld. Use the Roc's Feather and the Pegasus Boots to clear the long gap before it, then read the sign on the other side. When a sign in the Signpost Maze tells you to go a certain direction, you go that direction from where the sign is. If you read the wrong side, you'll have to head all the way back to the first sign, read it, and start again.

Once you read all the signs in the way the maze intends you to, a staircase will appear in the center. Enter it to see a frog named Mamu, who looks a lot like Wart from Doki Doki Panic/Super Mario Bros. 2. Give him 300 Rupees, and he'll teach you the third song for the Ocarina, The Frog Song of Soul.

If you go back to where the Walrus was and play The Ballad of the Wind Fish on the Ocarina, you'll get him to pop his head out of the water. He'll be disappointed that you're not Marin, though.


The upper-right screen of the Animal Village has a cave you can access by blowing a hole in the wall with a Bomb. To get there, go north from the screen where the Walrus was. From there, enter and equip the Hook Shot. Blow up the wall to the north of the entrance with a Bomb (you'll have to throw one over there), then follow the path and throw a Bomb into the cracked block. Head back down to the entrance screen and head left. Follow the path, and you'll get another Piece of Heart.
