In-Game Map

There is a raven that simply sits there on the tree even when you get up close to it. Use the Power Bracelet to throw a rock at it, then smack it with the sword to get a Golden Leaf.

Aside from ravens, you also have Armos Knights to deal with, but they're easier to deal with than in the first game.

The second Golden Leaf is in a screen with six pits. An Armos Knight will pop his head out of the pits to throw bombs at you. Two Whirlwind Slashes will take him out and give you the second Leaf.

The inside of the castle marks the game's first appearance of the Anti-Fairies from Zelda II: The Adventures of Link. Using Magic Powder on them will get rid of them.

One screen in the castle is full of enemies, and if you destroy them all, you'll get a Golden Leaf. You'll also find a switch that opens the castle gate in another.

When you go upstairs in the castle, use a Bomb on one of the Armos Knight designs in the wall. An Armos Knight will pop out, and if you destroy him you'll get Golden Leaf #4.

The guy with the ball and chain has the last Golden Leaf. To enter the room he's in, hit the door that leads into it with a pot, then use either the bow and arrow or bombs to kill the guy.

When you have all five Golden Leaves, go back to Richard. He'll let you enter the dungeon that leads to the key to the Ukaku Prarie dungeon. Don't forget to open the chest while you're down there to get the Secret Seashell.

You'll then enter a maze full of bushes and grass. If you cut the bushes down, you'll find out that this is a hedge maze. Make it to the owl head popping out of the ground and use the shovel on the space where the bush near it is. You'll get the Slime Key. Now head back to the north and touch the keyhole for the Slime Key and you'll open up the dungeon.

Key Cavern

Map

The Bob-ombs blow up whatever it his after you smack it with the sword. When you do that, it bounces around the room, before it either explodes or hits a few walls (whatever happens first).

Some chests will have enemies in them after this point.

Secret Seashells

12. It's located in the chest in the dungeon that leads to the Slime Key maze.


13. On the path to the Key Cavern, there is a space in between four patches of grass. Use the shovel on it to get another Secret Seashell.
