Bottle Grotto

Map

The sidescrolling section with the lowering platforms is pretty interesting. The first one goes down to the lower level easily, but the second one requires some work. Equip the Power Bracelet and pick up a pot, then walk back up and stand on the platform. Since you weigh more due to that pot you're carrying, the platform has no choice but to budge.

The boss here is a genie. To beat the boss, hit the bottle with your sword while the bottle is moving and then throw the bottle into the wall with the Power Bracelet. In the meantime, avoid the fireballs that the genie throws at you.

Once you break the bottle, he'll teleport everywhere before throwing a fireball at you. When he starts following you, hit him. After enough damage, he'll die. You'll get another Heart Container as well as the Conch Horn. Your next destination is the prairie.

Koholint

The four glowing circles around a hole indicate a teleporter. There are only a few around the island, but if you find two, you'll be able to teleport between the two in seconds, saving you some time and footwork.

You'll now be able to go to Crazy Tracy's. If you have a few Rupees, you'll be able to get a potion that will revive you if you lose all your health. Go get this, as it can and will prove useful later in the game.

Now that you have the Power Bracelet, one of the rocks you'll be able to lift out of the ground takes you to an underground well. Sprinkle Magic Powder on the well, and a demon will come out. He'll give you the ability to carry more Magic Powder. Later on in the game, he'll let you carry more Arrows and more Bombs.

You'll also be able to get the Heart Piece and the Secret Seashell in the Mysterious Forest as well.

When you bring Bow Wow back to Madame Meow Meow in the GBC version, you'll unlock another picture for the Album.

Secret Seashells

2. The chest blocked by a rock in the Mysterious Forest contains another Shell.
