Map

You know those statues from A Link to the Past with the eye that rotated around it, looked forward and shot a laser at you when you were in its direct line of sight? Well, there's a one-eyed creature just like it near the end of this dungeon, and it attacks the exact same way.

The room with the Nightmare Key door has two unlit torches. If you light them up with the Magic Powder, the two monsters inside the room will turn into Fairies.

The boss here is the floor. Really, it's the floor. When its face shows up, blow it up with a Bomb. Be sure to equip the Shield on the other button, so you can protect yourself from the floor tiles and pots that come out of the ground. When he's out of ammunition, he'll start making tile-sized holes in the floor that you don't want to fall into. Luckily, this guy is a real cakewalk, and he falls after a few Bomb explosions.

You'll be rewarded with the Coral Triangle, and your next destination for another Instrument is the mountain.

Koholint

Go talk to Ulrira. You'll find out about the Flying Rooster. Head back to Mabe Village and go to the statue of the Flying Rooster. Equip your new Power Bracelet and push the statue up. You'll find a hidden staircase that leads underground to where the Flying Rooster is buried. Play the Frog Song of Soul (the third song on the Ocarina) and you'll wake its carcass up. It will start following you around, so head to the mountains.

Before you do, though, head to that long gap that blocks that staircase near the castle entrance. You'll be able to get 20 hard-to-reach Rupees (or a Secret Seashell, though we've gotten the Level 2 Sword already).


Once you're in the mountains, you'll be using the rooster to get past some normally uncrossable pit areas. This is how you get the Bird Key.
