Welcome to Gaia! ::

Link: ... That... actually makes sense as to why the dungeon is called Key Cavern. Huh...

Chapter 11: Link: EVERYONE IS TRYING TO INTERRUPT OUR DATE! GAHHHHHHH DX

Sup folks? Last time, we collected a ton of crap and made our way to the Animal Village only to learn we can't get past a Walrus cuz he's sleeping. If he were snoozing in any other place, it wouldn't be that bad. But nope... he's blocking our way. Only way through him is to get our girl Marin to sing him a song. So guess what this chapter is about?

That's right! It's the long awaited DATE CHAPTER~ 4laugh

Link, mah boy. You ready?
Link: Y-yeah... >/////>
Awesome, let's get this started. 8D


We left off right around here, where we see Marin gazing out at the ocean.

She'll hear us approaching and turn to face us.



Let's keep her company, shall we? Even though we're not really given much of a choice. XD

The screen fades and we're now staring out at the water. One of my favorite Ballad of the Wind Fish mixes be playing here.


Link: I dunno. Maybe they were always here?




Link: Beyond the ocean is a thing called 'the rest of the world'. It's really nice.



Link: >/////>



Link: Message? Nah... I just got shipwrecked. I may be a messenger for the Royal Family, but I don't have any messages for you... Sorry...



Link: s**t... must find new topic to talk about... gonk So... Uh, nice weather we've got.



Link: Sea gulls are fun. They love Hyoi Pears. 3nodding



Link: Not the best idea... I know a gull that tried singing... couple didn't like it and it took a musically-talented crab to set the mood right. Speaking of which... Sebastian, think you can set the mood for us? wink



Link: Or you can wait until the Wind Fish grants me a boat. Then I can take you and show you the world. <3


Link: ... Sorry, did I go too far with the Disney references?



Link: Bwah? Of course I am! Can't you hear me talking?! D8
Actually Link, the readers and myself are the only ones that can hear you. You... don't really talk much in this game.
Link: s**t! We have an audience! Marin, let's GTFO! Can't work my pimpin' skills if the pimp lord's watching!

-selects no when given the option-



Link: My head was in the clouds because you were talking about being a bird. I wanted to see what you would see. And dammit, gabriel sama! Now I need to listen to her talk all over again! Dx
Oh please, you liked it.

-selects yes when given the option-


Link: Huh? o////o
Nice, Marin. You barely managed to save that one.




Link: I'll protect you.


You know... that was completely pointless Link. She's not an item. You just want to look up her dress.
Link: >///////////> S-shut up...



I set this chance up for you, Link. Don't eff it up.
Link: Just leave the date to me. You just focus on commentary. >8|
Fine... rolleyes


So Marin will follow you around to just about anywhere. Well, except into the Dream Shrine and dungeons. She's also capable of jumping when you jump and running when you run. But... I don't think she knows how to swim either. I wasn't stupid enough to jump into deep water while on the date.

There's a ton of stuff we can do while on our date, so let's head off to the first point of interest.







Let's take that spot that the octorok is occupying over there on the cliff, shall we?

Doing so will trigger a photo scene.

Link: What a great view... and look! I'm chibified, just like her~



She says walk, but it's more of a date.


Aww... he's shy. Let's translate for him.
Translation: I want to have more walks like this with you in the future.



Considering you don't leave the village much except to go stare at the beach and go sing at the Animal Village, I can't see you coming here much. Well, unless you wanna think about us.


Translation: Sweet! I have a secret place with Marin~


Ah, she's getting a little upset.


Translation: ********. I forgot I can't talk unless given a option, and this ain't one of them.


Link: GODDAMMIT STALKER MOUSE! CAN'T YOU SEE I'M--


Link: -- TRYING TO HAVE A MOMENT HERE?! CAN YO--


Link: --U PLEASE LEAVE BEFORE I HAVE TO SERIOUSLY M--


Link: --ESS YOU UP?! ... Dammit, he's not listening. =__=



Link: .... Well, at least it's something to remember this date...

Stalker Mouse then leaves and we go back to the game.



Let's head back to town, shall we?


Believe it or not, the kids are the only ones that will even say anything about your date in town.



Link: We're on a date. If this was the Japanese version of the game, I could probably take her with me to the Dream Shrine and get some action. Damn American censoring. =_=


Link: I should really smack you for pulling the whole 'I'm ignorant cuz I'm a kid' bull s**t on me...


Jump into the whole to trigger the second photo event.



Link: Dx! Swordisstabbingmeinthebuttandmagiccrackisgettinginthewoundohgodthepain.


And... yeah, he's back to interrupt your date.


Of what, Link hurting? You can take plenty of those if you follow him around.
Link: DOES NOBODY CARE THAT I'M HURT! DX
Eh... It's just a flesh wound.


Oh, forget that title... I've got a better one.


Marin actually showing some concern, because she loves you. Secretly. Nintendo tries to make it subtle.


Link: -KO'd-

-several minutes of slapping Link around after getting the sword out of him later-

Let's visit home, shall we?


Tarin be snoozing.




Note to self and others: Don't pull a Tarin and smack beehives with a stick without protective gear.



Link: What? I'm just examining the craftsmanship of this chest. Oh, one of the drawers just opened by itself. Hot damn, these are a fine pair of panti-- I mean... this is a nice chest.
Smooth, loverboy. XD

Head over to where you usually find Marin, where that rooster grave is.

Approach it to trigger another KODAK moment.



Link: Let's take a picture in front of here for our date. 8D


Link: What the? Tarin, should you be up? o:





Link: What?! NO! THIS IS MY DATE. I WILL NOT HAVE YOU INTERR--


Link: Oh, and you just to wedge right in between us. I know she's your daughter, but no need to go force yourself to be the center of attention. Minor characters like you should just stay in the background.



... No. I refuse to say that, or let that be the caption for this picture.



Link: Thank you. Both of you go away now.

Let's head over to the crane mini-game shop after the photo event.



Approach the store clerk to trigger this next little scene.


Seeing how much cash we've got, and how amusing this scene is, sure, why not? It's only 10 rupees.





Store clerk then gives Marin instructions on how to play. Course, this guy thinks that girls can't play games like this. Cuz he's a minor NPC and they don't have souls.


Marin will then take the controls.


Store Clerk: Hah, you missed everything! 8D


Store Clerk: Huh? Hey wai--


Store Clerk: Noooooooooooooo... Dx -flailflail-



And thus marked the beginning of Marin's dark path down the path of SM by taking the store clerk as her prize.



Yes. Yes she is.



He's just mad cuz a girl can do better than him in the crane game.


So after we get forcefully evicted from the crane mini-game shop, let's see what else we can do around town.



Yeah, digging triggers this little easter egg.
Link: You know... if I dig a deep hole, I can probably leave the island that way...


Hitting a cucco triggers this, but if we do it enough times...



Link: I think my heart skipped a beat. Did I ever tell you I love you, Marin? <3


Link: Aww... ._.
Also, this is a one time thing. Once she gets that out of the way, she'll go back to saying stuff about not hurting the cucco.

Well, since we're already beating up cuccos, might as well show you what happens if you do it enough times...



Yep. Like most other Legend of Zelda games, we get a swarm of cuccos flying after you.
Link: RUN AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! gonk

They go away if you enter the next screen, which is nice since we don't want to have the cuccos cause us to lose our 'no death' perfect ending. Also, it was a little hard getting a good shot while trying NOT to die during the swarm. XD
Only got hit a couple of times, so it was all good.

Next, let's go to a house that has some pots and smash them. 8D


Link: I've always been a bad boy. But you like them bad boys. <3

After that, go play Ballad of the Wind Fish on the ocarina.



Yep, she said you sucked, Link. And what was all that last chapter about you being so good at playing stuff on the ocarina? 8D

Well, that's all we can really do in town. And we're nearing the end of our date. Let's go see Stalker Mouse and see if he's got our pictures ready.

Oh look, they are.


"Haha That Cloud Looks Like a Butt!"


"Mah Spleen!"


"No One Loves You, Tarin."

I love Marin's face in that last one. Looks like she wasn't happy either when Tarin decided to interrupt the date.

Anyway, let's head off to Animal Village. You can either take the scenic long route or take the Teleporter thingy to it.



Marin comes by here often, since the bunny is clearly happy she's here.

Make your way to the Walrus.




We love surprises.




The Walrus will wake up and then start headbanging.


After a while, he'll start jumping and headbanging.


And then he falls into the water.



Link; I don't see any bubbles... Marin, I think your song just gave him a heart attack and he died. D8


Link: What the heck does this loser want?


Link: Marin is not a call girl! D<


Link: They do this to you all the time?!



Link: If I come back and there's an orgy, I'm going to be so pissed.


And then she leaves.
Link: I LOVE YOU MARIN! >//////////////>


Link: -sniff- I miss her already.

Poor loverboy.
And that concludes this chapter. Next time, we'll explore the GerudoYarna Desert, get another trade done, and try to reach the 4th dungeon. Until next time~

Thanks to Tiki for telling me about the shovel and cucco comments Marin makes.

'Sup folks.
Just a few announcements before we get started.
1. As the new rules pertaining to all LP chapters from here on out, I will now be editing the title so that when a new chapter is up, it'll show that a new chapter is up.
2. Also, with the new rules, there may be times where it looks like there's new stuff but there's a bunch of reserved posts. Don't worry. The chapters will come up eventually (once I stop Link from editing my hard-worked stuff). It's just to deal with the influx of posts coming in. This is a DQ/W guild, after all. Not an LP guild.
3. I will now be answering your comments in the opening post. This is to avoid the influx of posts coming from the LPs. If you wanna have Link answer your questions and respond to comments, shoot me a PM and title it 'Link's Mail Bag'. When he's not adventuring, he'll grudgingly gladly set time aside to respond.

With that out of the way, please enjoy the rest of our featured presentation.

Ch. 14: STALKER TRIPLE COMBO!

'Sup folks, and welcome to another exciting installment of LP! LoZ LA DX! We've got a super long chapter this time... 268 images. And that's just this chapter. I know my friend's Firefox is gonna cry when she reads this. Will yours? Ready for this action-packed session? Grab some popcorn and get comfortable, cuz it'll take a while for all the images on this page to load.

Lesse... last time we left off, we had just finished off the Angler Fish in Angler's Tunnel. My goddess, he was pathetic against the might of the Piece of Power.

We're gonna head left first. Into the waters we go!


Remember seeing this cave? We'll finally get to see what's inside~


Oh man, I love this guy. Easily one of my favorite characters in this game.




Why yes. Yes we do have an ocarina, Manbo.



Link: What is it with fish and going 'Bloop'? stare
And dance time~








Link: Oh! 8D


Woo~ New song!!!!




This is the one teleporting song you get in the game. It is amazing. I'll show you where it takes you shortly. For now, head out of the cave.


Funny how we're standing on a patch of land that shouldn't even exist. Head to the right.





We have some business in this cave. Go in.


Now, it looks empty, but you shouldn't judge a cave by its empty nature.


If we dive... right around here...


We'll pick up our fifth piece of heart. Pretty sweet, huh?

Leave the cave and swim south.

Okay, climb out of the water, and walk all the way back to that cliff overlooking the 4th dungeon. The one you jumped off of.


Don't Jump!!! We're heading to the right!


Take the stairs.


Go left.


Keep going left.


Remember this cave for much, much later. Inside is a key to another dungeon, but we don't have the means of getting to it. The house over here is the Cucco house. Not special for now, but be sure to come back here around the time you have to go to the Eagle's Tower and with your special companion you need.

Head up the stairs and head right.


Head right some more.


Upon entering, you'll see a boulder slide just a little to the left, making it look uneven compared to the other two. Enemy's hiding in there. Get rid of it while you're moving boulders.


Under the boulder on the far right is a secret seashell. Snag it.


I... don't remember what number we're on. 13, maybe?


I suppose you could head right, but there's really only a Spiny Beetle hiding under the grass clump. And he's not worth your time.

Make your way back to the stairs that lead into the pool of water.

Swim to the right.


Into the cave we go.


See that one random dry patch in the midst of all that shallow water? Pretty suspicious if you ask me.


Bombing the wall next to it will reveal a new opening, so head on through.


Smite fish and take stairs.


You know... I wonder what this way leads? Head south.


Holy s**t... look at all those chests. eek
Link: Treasure time! Treasure time!

Okay, the order is very tricky... I goofed and had to leave the room. But if you leave the room, all the chests will be emptied. And you will lose whatever spoils you didn't get. They're all varying amounts of rupees though, so if you're strapped for cash and you don't want to steal the bow, listen carefully.

Start with this chest and get 20 rupees.

From here, head four spaces left and one down, then push that boulder down.

20 more rupees get.

I don't have images for the rest of the chests, and I've worked through every possible path you can take. But it is impossible to get all five chests from the top side of the room. You can get four of them, at most from the top side. To do so, head back to where you moved that first boulder and head one south. You should be NE of the chest on the far left. Push the south boulder down one, then walk all the way around to the boulderless chest. Inside should be some more rupees. Then head one right and push the boulder blocking the SE chest to claim the rupees in there. There's nothing you can do about that last chest, so just head outside.


Head south. It's all you can do.


Beat up the Tektite, then check the chest.


Another shell. Goody~

Head back inside and make your way back to where you bombed the wall.

Head right.


Dodge the Spiny Beetle under the skull and head out.


Head right. It's the only thing you can do.


Talk to the Owl.



Yeah... any further is far too risky for us. And we don't want to go to the Eagle's Tower yet.

Now would be a good time to test out our new song! Go to your ocarina. You'll see that there's now an option. There will be Marin's head, then a fish. Select the fish (option 2), then play the ocarina.

We will be warped...


Right outside of Crazy Tracey's place. Pretty frikkin' sweet, huh? Head south.


... Hey, Link?
Link: Hm?
Don't look behind you.
Link: Whut, why? confused


Link: Dude, there's nothing there.
Heh... well, whatever. You'll see it soon enough.
Link: ... Weirdo.

Go to town. Since we have 999 rupees, which is the max in the game, we might as well go snag us the bow.

Link: What the?! A ghost?! O___________________o
Yep. Tried to warn ya earlier. Dude's been following ya ever since we warped.
Link: -flips the ******** out- burning_eyes
-sighs- I guess I'll go call them.

Intermission

Hey Link?
Link: Y-y-y-yes?
So I just finished chatting with Ghostbusters. They said the ghost isn't going to try to kill you or possess you or anything. It's a safe ghost.
Link: I-i-i-i-if y-y-you say s-s-s-s-s-so...

Right, now that that's been settled, go into the shop.

999 > 980, in all video gaming sense. We're getting this bow.


Link: The next time you'll see us, we'll be robbing your shop.


The ghost tends to fade in and out of the realm of existence, which is why some of the images don't show the ghost. But don't worry, he's there. And you can't kill him either, since... you know... he's already dead.
Link: Dammit.

Head to the Animal Village.

We need to head into the desert where we fought the mini boss.
Link: Can we get some deserty music?
Yeah yeah... here you go.


Drop down the hole.


Link: I think the ghost likes the music.
I'm more surprised you're not flipping out over the ghost. Ghostbusters really calmed you down, huh?
Link: I'm treating it like it's a mere figment of my imagination.
If you say so. rolleyes


The north wall has a hollow sound, so poke around and bomb it. Then go through the opening.


Oh look, another piece of heart.


This makes 6. We're halfway there.

Make your way back to Animal Village.

Link: Marin-baby, I miss you. <3
We have stuff to do, lover boy. I'll give you a chance to listen to her another time. -drags off-

Go to the NE sector of Animal Village.

Head into the house on the left.


If you've been following along on the trading sequence, you should have the Hibiscus. Talk to the goat to continue the trade.


Link: Yes. Yes we did.




Link: As long as it doesn't have to do with exorcisms. I've got my own figmental ghost issue.




Link: Hey, I'm not the Mailman. Get him to do it!
He... uh... doesn't exist. Not until Majora's Mask.
Link: Seriously? Dammit. Fine. We'll take your stupid letter.


Link: I'm not the only one creeped out by the random heart stamp she put on this letter, am I?



Even the game doesn't seem as enthusiastic. XD

Leave the Animal Village for now.

Head north.


You know, since we're not in any rush, I can show you something sweet. Remember when we used crack on these guys? You can actually talk to them when they have the googly eyes.


Link: They're... Jamaican? O_o;;

Head left.

Jump in the water and head south.


Now west while dodging Zora.


Here's that girl in the water we saw a while back. She's actually a Mermaid, and is someone in the trading sequence. But we can't trade just yet with her. So head south.


This formidable looking place is actually our next dungeon, the Catfish's Maw. Unfortunately, the ghost will freak out if you try to go inside of it, so we can't deal with the dungeon for now.

Head back to the Animal Village.




Link: Huh? Who said that? O_o
Every now and then, the ghost will tell you to take him home. His house is that wrecked one near the beach.

For now, head south.


Go left.


Over the bridge.


Talk to Mr. Owl.



The bridge in particular is the one you crossed over just now. And it's got two things we need to do there. Unfortunately, we can't do either of them now, since a) we don't have the necessary trade item, b) we have the ghost with us so we can't trigger the photo event, and c) it can't be triggered until we trade him the item.

If you dig around him...


You'll find a secret seashell. In case you didn't realize it yet, we're gonna collect lots in this chapter.

If we head south over the bridge and down the next screen...

We don't have the means to get across this, which means we can't go see the Mermaid Statue. Well... not for long.

Head right.

Nothing really special here.

Get in the water and make your way back to the big fish in the water.

Freaky little b*****d, huh? Head left.


Climb up the stairs to dry land and head south.


Keep going south.


Remember this island? Now that we can swim, head over to it.


Under that clump rests another seashell. Snag it.


This is seashell number 17. -just confirmed by looking into the future- Which means the ones we picked up earlier are actually 15 and 16. 14 might be in there too. I dunno. Too lazy to look back.

Head to the right once you get back onto the mainland.

Jump across and slash at the grass. If you time it right, you can actually land on where you cut the grass and not fall into the hole. Head down the stairs.


Since we have the flippers, we can clear this area. Head north and watch out for man-eating fish.


Go left.


Take the stairs.


Hey, we're behind some trees now. Head left.


Take the stairs.


Huh... doesn't this look familiar...?


Sprinkle some crack as tribute to Satan.


Link: Hey look, a fairy-- WAIT A MINUTE!


Link: ACK! SATAN'S BACK! gonk





-clicks yes-
Link: W-what?! D8
Dammit, Link. Did you forget the last time we saw this guy, back in the Mysterious Forest? He actually gave us stuff.
Link: Oh. Right. >///>;;




More bombs? Hell yes.


Link: I can never get used to this tingly feeling.
Well, considering you just pissed on yourself, I don't think so either.
Link: Dammit, they didn't need to know! Dx





And then Satan went vacationing in Hawaii.

While Link the pants-less wonder goes to get a new tunic, let's take a look at our inventory.

Satan: Fueling Terrorism since the dawn of time. Seriously. 60 bombs?
Link has gained 1000 exp! Link has leveled up! Link has now classed into 'Terrorist'!

Backtrack all the way back to the first staircase.

Cut the grass, jump the pit, and head left.


Left some more.


Don your boots and use the Boots+Feather combo to make the jump.


Approach the house.



This is the ghost's house. He wants to go inside.

Nice little trivia for you. In the manga, the ghost appears around the same time as in the game, just shortly after the 4th dungeon. However, in the manga, the ghost lives in the desert, whereas in the game he lives by the beach. Also, in the manga, he was a former warrior. We don't know what he was in the game, and we probably never will. Also in the manga, he gives Link a sword after he breaks his in the 4th dungeon. He doesn't give us a sword in the game. We get one elsewhere.

Go in for now.

Link: Yeah, this place was totally like this since before I showed up here on my date with Marin. >.>;;


Link: Don't worry, she and I totally didn't bang in your bed. >//>;;


Link: Don't worry, I already moved your stash of porn to a different location, since uh... you don't need it anymore. >/////>;;
It doesn't show, but yes, the ghost does go to the dresser.


Link: I honestly don't know what to say about that corner of the house, Ghost Figment. >.>;;



Poor guy... Who knows how long he's been dead. But he misses his former life.



Link: I suddenly have the urge to go visit a grave. I wonder why.
Because he told you to?
Link: You can see Ghosty, the figment of my imagination?
... Wooooow... stare


We then get booted outside. Play Manbo's Mambo to warp.


The grave's pretty close to here, but there's a couple of things I'd like to do first. Move the boulder and head left.







That house belongs to the one and only Mr. Write, who writes shitty fanfiction that you can usually find on fanfiction.net or whatever the site is called.


Interesting trivia about this guy. He's apparently the model for the adviser in the original Sim City, and even has a name like his (Mr. Write -> Mr. Wright)! Also, in the later Zelda series (Oracle of Seasons), we see Mr. Write's sprite again, only this time he's named Mr. Left! Har har i c wut u did thar, Nintendo.

Anyway, give the guy the letter.

Link: Yes. And next time get yourselves an actual mailman.



Link: Wut.


Oh Nintendo. You've gone and given us another reference to your firstborn, the Mario series. Here's Princess Peach... who's named Christine.
Link: The goat is a lying whore! D8<


Link: But... that's not her! scream
Link, enough. Such are risks of long distance relationships.





And so he gives us a broom for connecting him and the goat. May they live very happy lives, and hopefully not produce any crossbreeds.


Link: Isn't this... Maple's Broom?
I'm surprised you know who she is, considering she doesn't exist for another couple of years. XD




Oh look, the game's concerned about this guy too...

Anyway, head back to Mabe Village.

Link: Hey Bow Wow. 3nodding

Head south. We're gonna see the Granny who lives with Phone Gramps.

Normally, we see her sweeping happily away, but for some reason, her broom's gone.
Link: She probably swept and swept until the thing disintegrated. Either way, she's got the cleanest yard in the universe.


Her husband deals with phones. Granny prefers email. And we know what's her favorite email provider. That's right. Yahoo.



Yes, Granny. It's for you.


Link: I knew it! She's a witch! And what do we do with witches? BURN THEM!
-whacks Link- This isn't Monty Python and the Holy Grail.




A fishing hook for a broom... Well I guess we can go fishing now. 8D


That is a big fishing hook. O_o;;




Link: You mean it can evolve? I want it to become a Pikachu. 8D
-facepalm- XD

Anyway, play the Manbo's Mambo since I'm lazy and don't feel like walking.

Head south.



Toss the boulder, then... let Link decide.
Link: Right! Cuz there's a cemetery there!


Link: This is the place right?
Ghost: ..... no....


Jump the gap and head left.


There's the ghost's grave. Toss the boulder and head south.


One or two things I'd like to do before we go to the grave. First... cut the lone grass clump.


Digging where it was will reveal a secret seashell. Grab it.


This is 18. 2 more before we hit 20.

Head to the right.

Watch out for the zombies (whom later become Redead... those horrible bastards...), toss the boulder, and take the stairs.


Take down the beetle and Keese before heading right.


Bomb that cracked boulder, then stand where it used to be. Normally, you shouldn't try this unless you have the hookshot. But screw that. If you count, it's a mere three space gap. You've cleared it plenty of times before. Don the Boots+Feather and jump, then jump over to the piece of heart.


This makes 7. 5 more to go. 8D

If you take the stairs after pushing those boulders off the ledges...

You'll end up SMACK... dab in the middle of ghost territory. Push the gravestone you just came out of and backtrack to the other staircase.


Toss the boulders and head left. Take out any zombies that come near you.


Take the left most stairs.


I always disliked this scene. Wanna know why? You get rid of one stalker, and two more show up. Stalker fest! 8D

Anyway, approach the gravestone to trigger this chain of stalkers. =_=



Translation: I have a present for you in a jar back at my house. Bye bye.
It's a secret seashell. Pretty sweet.

And as soon as the ghost goes into his grave...

Stalker Owl appears.


Last time we saw your ugly mug was... back in the desert? Don't say it's been a while, because it hasn't.




Yes, we know where the dungeon is. We swam past it like 3 or 4 times already.




Which is odd, considering if we're getting rid of his Nightmares, he should be sleeping more peacefully...

So after Stalker Owl leaves, approach the grave to bring the other consistent stalker.

Link; Haha. His name was Stupid. What kind of parents would name their kid that? XD


Link: Oh god, Stalker Mouse. Dx


Link: I'm laughing at this guy's name. What are you doing here? Stalking me as usual, huh? stare




Link: The ghost doesn't exist. It was merely a figment of my imagination. I decided on this.
Just because he's afraid to admit he was stalked by a ghost pretty much this whole chapter. XD


Link: Eh, sure. Since we're more chibi, might as well take advantage of the moment.



Link: Pfft. I wasn't scared. Sama, give a better title!


Link: Heheh, I'm posing. Because I'm that awesome.


"I'm With Stupid. The question is, who's Stupid?"

Okay, run all the way to the entrance of the Key Cavern. The third dungeon, you know?

Head right.


Jump in the water and swim north.


We can finally reach this grass clump. Make sure you cut it from the north side. Otherwise the prize will fall in the water and you'll have to leave and re-enter to get it.


Cutting the grass will reveal a secret seashell.


This makes 19. One more to go~

Head to the castle.

Go right.



Take the bridge and head north until you find a place you can enter the water.





Get in the water and swim left, all the way around the castle.








Dive around the wall near the holes.


You'll find a piece of heart. Sweet. And it's number 8, which means we have another heart now. Woo~

Get onto land, then warp via Manbo's Mambo.

Go all the way to the Tail Cave, the first dungeon.


Go left.


See that lonely tree, I want you to run into it with the Boots. Trust me. It's worth your time.


That's right, it drops a seashell. Grab it.


That makes 20! But wait... let's go claim the treasure the ghost left for us at his house.




Gasp! Another seashell! Grab it.


This makes 21. There are a grand total of 26 Secret Seashells in the game. You only need 20.

Once you have 20 or more, head to the Seashell Manor. It's south of the castle and west of the Animal Village, if you forgot.

Go in.


Since we have 20, head on through the pillars and approach.


The bar... it's full! Link, what does the scouter say about its power level?
Link: -crushes scouter- IT'S OVER 9000!


Link: What job? O_o;;

And then awesome stuff happened.



Link: Oh man. O_O


Link: The sword... it's gone super saiyan! O_O


Link: It's so big... is it safe to touch? o:
That's what she said. 8D

Go take the sword.

Feel the power! UNLIMITED POWER!




Link: Yeah, just in case. You know... if I ever get shipwrecked again or if it gets knocked out of my sheath because pirates suck at aiming... you know?

Behold, the Seashell Sword. This weapon is so fine. I love it. It's twice as strong as your normal sword, and comes with a special ability. If you are fully healed... swing the sword.

Sword beams. That's right. You can attack from a distance. Granted, sword beams do about as much damage as your level 1 sword, but still! That's pretty damn sweet!

And that's all for now. Damn, there were 268 images, and I took out a few but it still took most of the night to write.

Next time, we'll take on a dungeon exclusive only to Link's Awakening DX and acquire a tunic that will make us more powerful! Don't miss the next action-packed chapter of LP! LoZ LA DX!

Chapter 16: Skeletor Wolf: Can't Let You Do That, Star He-Link!

Hey guys, and welcome back for more LP! LoZ: LA DX!

Let's get started, shall we?
Last time, we kicked some a** in the Color Dungeon and picked up some fine threads.


Link: Ack! Ghosts! Dx

We need to head over to the Catfish's Maw. Since we passed it so much in the previous chapters, we should know where it is? No? It's in the water just west of the Animal Village.

Huh... there's this rock wall blocking us from reaching it. But not to worry!


If you dive here...


You'll come down here!
Link: I have an unlimited breathing capacity, so I can like... basically live underwater. I'm part Zora! 8D



And with some swimming, we'll pop up inside the circle and can now enter the place. Woo~


Dungeon 5... the Catfish's Maw. Ironically enough, there's really no catfish involved here... well, except maybe for the entrance. But other than that... nothing really.

Head left.

There is a chest on the other side of that wall, but the gap is WAY TOO BIG to make the jump. So just head on left and kill the stuff that gets in your way.


The door locks and... guess what? We have to fight Helmasaurs in this dungeon! Yep... these punks can only be hurt from either the side (if you swing it right) or from behind. The masks protect them from all damage.
Link: Takin' the Helmasaur from behind... Never knew these guys liked it doggysty-- -shot-
Don't go there. -lowers gun-

Anyway, once the enemies are routed, the door will open, so head left.

More Helmasaurs~ Oh, and a chest too.


The HRC returns!!!!!!!

Ignore the Helmasaurs, since killing them would only unlock the door, and instead take the stairs.

You need to time your jumps when you get on those pulleys. Step on one and it'll go down while the other goes up!

Get across, but don't take the ladder.

You'll have to do the same thing here. Pulley one (the closest to you) is connected to the second pulley from the left, so that means the far left pulley is connected to the second pulley from the right. Jump across and take the ladder. If you happen to fall or you wait too long, just head back to the previous room and climb the ladder.


And the HRC chimes, so there be a key here.
Link: I'm gonna kill those Stalfos! twisted


And... there's no key.
Link: D8!

No worries... we can get it. Just smash the two crystals between the spread out blocks and push them together so that it forms a square in the middle of the room.

You'll be rewarded with a key.

Head on to the left.

Link: And... there's nothing here.
Remember this place for later... since it's related to the mini-boss.

Head back to the Compass room.

Kill the two Helmasaurs to get out.


Use your key on the door once you clear the room of enemies... or don't kill them. Your pick, really.


Head on north. But take out the Stalfos heading your way.


The door will lock the moment you take a step forward, so kill all the enemies to go on through.


What? The doors locked!
Looks like...


Yep, looks like a Mini-boss battle.
Link: Battle song, now!
Sure, he--
Skeletor: Can't let you do that, gabriel sama.
FFFFFFFFFF-- He overrode the theme with his own!

This guy's real name is Master Skeleton. He'll jump around and swipe at you with the sword. You can knock him down with a spin attack...

Then drop a bomb to deal damage to him. If you happen to have the Level 2 sword and are at full health, you can also dish out damage with the beams, but they won't do as much as the bombs.

After three or four hits with the bombs...


Skeletor: I'll be back.
And... He runs off.
Link: Coward. >:
He's... actually pretty crafty... o:

Anyway, with him running off, we can head right now.

Link: Oh hey, a chest!


Link: What the...? O_o;; Where's the stuff?
Oh hey, a note... it's from Gary ******** Oak. It says... "Gary was here. Link is a loser."
Link: ... I have no idea who the ******** that b*****d is, but when I meet him... HE'S DEAD.
Oh wait... wrong note. XD




Link: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF--
Master Skeleton... the smartest mid-boss in the history of Zelda Franchise.
Link: ... What did he take...? ._.
The dungeon's item... the hookshot.
Link: OTL||||||

All we can do is head north.

We need to push the block up, then head left. Since... you know... that's the only way we can go now, since the right is locked.


Take out the enemies here and watch out for the Traps. Make your way north.


Take out the Tektites, then jump in the water and DIVE!


Oh look, Bloopers. Yet ANOTHER monster from the Mario series.


And they even threw a Goomba down here. If you need hearts, go jump on him. Then go swim up.


And... we're here too early.

Backtrack through the water and make your way back to where all the Tektites were. Then head north.


The door's gonna lock, and it's on the other side. But you have a reason to be over here. There's a couple of Zols that pop up on this side, and you need to defeat them.

Since you can't kill all of them from here, all you can do is backtrack to the 4-way room, with the center block.

Push it the only way you can, and head north.


Oh hey, I already killed the enemies before I could screencap. sweatdrop
Link: ... Nice.

Anyway, jump across and head right. Ignore the chest for now.

And there's nothing spectacular here... well, except for the floating bombs.

Backtrack to the previous room and head north this time.

Take out the star and the Hooded Stalfos, then head to the left. Again, you can't reach the chest.


And we're now back to this room. Kill off the remaining Zols, and the door will open.


Link: b*****d, I'LL GET YOU THIS TIME AND TAKE BACK THE HOOKSHOT! >D
Actually... if you look at the blocks, it says 3. Which means this is where we fight him the third time.
Link: DAMN YOU SKELETOR! I HOPE HE-MAN CRUSHES YOU GOOD IN THE CARTOON! D<
He's a crafty one...

Head left.

Take out the Stalfos and grab the heart before opening that chest.


Yay map.

Backtrack all the way to the 4-way room with the center block, and push it down this time. Press on the switch too and head to the right.


Link: Ha! Here we go! Round 2, ********! D<



Link: You're more of a pest! I'll get you for taking the hookshot! Battle music, now!
Let's try th--
Skeletor: Can't let you do that, gabriel sama!
Dammit, he got me again! Dx You're on your own for this fight, Link.
Link: gonk

Fortunately, his tactics don't change. Just use the spin attack and bomb combo to damage him. After 3 hits with the bomb...


Link: YOU COWARD! D<
And... he gets to fight another day.

Fortunately, we were just at the room where he appears again, so head there.

Note: You will have to kill the Zols again to open the door. But if you do it right, you can easily get rid of them from the top side of the room. It doesn't matter how you do it as long as you get the door open.


Link: Round 3... sama, do we have something that can power me through this fight?
I think I've got something... let's give it a shot when he appears.



Link: You're even peskier! sama, battle music, now!
How's th--
Skeletor: Can't let you do that, gabriel sama!
Ack! Not only did it not work, but he's using a Star Wolf theme from Star Fox 2, which was NEVER RELEASED! You're on your own again!
Link: WHAT?! O_____________________________O;;

Same tactics the last two times works, so after a few hits with the bombs...


Link: Gah. He doesn't die! D<
He's being careful, Link... Fortunately, he's almost finished. Go deliver the final blow!

Grab the floating heart in the room to the left if you need it, then backtrack to where you found the first key.

Note: When you get back to the 4-way room... You will have to push the block down and head in either left or right, then come back and push the block again to go to your destination.


Once you're at the room where you found the first key...

Take down the enemies and heal if you need to. Then head left for the final encounter with Master Skeleton.
Link: Wait! Before we go in... do you have a song that won't be overridden by his?
Override, huh...? I have an idea.
Link: ... stare
Just go fight him. =_=




Link: I'm the goddamn Energizer Bunny. >:


Link: Time to settle this once and for all! sama, battle music!
Take th--
Skeletor: Can't let yo--
OVERRIDE, ********: W-W-What?! IMPOSSIBLE!
Deal with it. cool

This time, he's not going to run away, so use the Spin attack to stun him, and bombs to damage him. Do this a couple of times and you'll be victorious!

Link: Farewell... Master Skeleton. You were a coward, but you were... ah, I've got nothing good to say about him.


Link: Oh hey, hookshot. o:




It's a pretty sweet item. Can hook onto blocks, rocks, chests, boulders... it can do damage too. And best of all... well, watching it might be easier to explain.

Head back to the compass room.

Aim at a Helmasaur's face and use the hookshot to...


TAKE OFF ITS MASK!!!

Go through the door when it opens.

Kill stuff and take the top right route.


Use the hookshot on the chest!


Link: I'm SpiderLink! 8D

Opening the chest reveals...

Sweet.

Head back to the room with the Tektites.

Dive and swim through.


Use the hookshot on the bridge...


And then it rolls out. What? Optimus Prime, get out of my text. Dx

Anyway, cross the newly formed bridge and go to the chest to find...

The Nightmare Key!

Backtrack to the 4-way room.

We need to go north.


Once you take out the enemies, jump across. We're going to hit that chest up there, but rather than making a tricky jump, we're gonna make our lives easier.


From here... use the hookshot and...


SPIDERMAN ACROSS!

Open dat chest.

Secure yourself some 50 rupees.

Now head to the right.


Spiderman your way across and check the chest.


It's a shiny key~

Spiderman back across and head left.

Head north.

Stretch out the bridge with the hookshot, then go to the chest.

50 more rupees. Sweet.

Grab the floating heart if you need it, then backtrack to where you first fought Master Skeleton.

Head south two screens.


This time we're heading left.


Traps and Helmasaurs galore. Use your hookshot to make your life a little easier.

Head left now.

According to your map, there's treasure in this room. Use your hookshot to take off the Helmasaurs' masks and then beat them.


You'll finally get the stone beak for your efforts.

Head back to the previous room and head north.

Use the hookshot to entend the bridge once you wipe out the enemies. If you have the bow, grab some arrows.


Just make a loop around and head down the bottom left route. Don't use your key yet.


Head left this time.


Use your hookshot and Spiderman your way across this Trap-filled room.


Link: Can't touch this, Traps. 8D
But those Zols will. :

Take the top left opening.

Hookshot across and open the chest once you beat the Helmasaurs.


Awesome. Another key.

Backtrack two rooms to the right, where that bridge was.

Extend the bridge and cross it.


Use the key on the block and head left.


Link: What the? Didn't we already fight a mini-boss here?!
Some dungeons like to up the ante. Fight hard, Link.
Link: Battle music? |:
Eh... sure. Since there's two of them, this will do...

So these crabs... their weakness is their eye, and it is closed most of the time. When they open their eye, they usually shoot a fireball at you. Their other form of attack is charging at you, which you can usually tell when they stop and shake. Take them on one at a time.


Link: That's one...


Link: And there's the other!

Neither of them will drop a fairy, but instead a single heart.
Link: Those cheapskates.
However...

A warp appears, so these guys were the real mini-boss.

If you're low on hearts, don't worry. Head through the top left now that it's unlocked.

And take the stairs.


There's Goombas crawling around here, so if you need hearts, just jump on them.

Need to go up?

Do what Spidey does and Hookshot on the dragon statue.

Jump on the Goombas for hearts, then head left.

Wait for the Goomba to be close to under you before you drop. Once you get the heart, hookshot up onto the dragon statue and take the ladder.


Use the key on the key block, then walk all the way around so you can hookshot onto the block on the other side. Then head left.


Nightmare door already? But there's some rooms we didn't bother exploring! Well... you don't need to worry about that. Nothing important in those places anyway if you check your map. Though... if you wanna go check out those rooms, head all the way back to where you found the empty chest and take those stairs.

Save and take a small break before opening the door for the boss fight.


Link: Think you can stop me?


Link: I don't taste good.

And then the fight starts... almost.

His tail will then burst out of the center of the room, and will proceed to spin around.


And then he'll make holes in the walls so he can attempt to eat you.
Link: I need battle music! D8
... Fine.

This guy is actually pretty formidable. If you stick to the outside and hug the walls and the corners, you can barely avoid his tail when it swings around. Wait for his head to pop out on the wall, then use the hookshot when his mouth is open to draw him out.


The further away you are, the more he will come out and the slower he'll slink back into his hole. You need to attack the heart to deal damage to him.


There are times where you pull him out, but it's not really him but a smaller version of him. If that happens, run away. It'll chase after you and blow up after some time.

Once you dish out enough damage and defeat him...



Link: What? I thought this was a normal island! o:
Oh my. A not-so-subtle hint about the island.


Link: Why you.... Die!


And he blows up. And we are awarded with a Heart Container.


Woo, more health.

Head through the north door.

New instrument time!!



We got the technicolor Marimba! That's our 5th Instrument! 3 more to go!

And as usual, it'll play some music before we get warped out.



And once again, we're given our hint.


Ooh, foreshadowing.
Link: What? There's something about the Island we don't know about? D:


And then we find ourselves right outside of the Catfish's Maw.
Link: sama, what's with all this foreshadowing? Tell me what's going on! D8

And that's all for this chapter. Next time... we'll finish the trading quest, get some more Pieces of Heart, and... uncover a secret that will forever change the course of the game.

Link: Oh goddesses... don't tell me... Marin's actually a guy! Dx

Chapter 18: THE WATER IS TOO FAST! AHHHHHHHHHHH! DX

Hey everyone... so yeah. Last chapter, Link learned the power of friendship the truth about Marin actually being a guy about the island. I dunno if he's quite ready to face the remaining three dungeons since he's quite the indecisive punk, but we have no choice.

THE SHOW MUST GO ON!


Link, you gonna be okay?
Link: Yeah... like you said, the show must go on... I can't stop, not after going this far.

Leave the Southern Shrine.

And Stalker Owl visits us.



Link: Yeah... I did...




Link: So in the end, we don't have any proof after all...





Link: Interesting metaphor there... I suppose sama's the only one who really knows, but he's making me figure it out on my own... Leaving it all up to chance.



Link: Trust my feelings?
You know it is to be true.
Link: ... This isn't some poor attempt to make me pull a Star Wars parody, is it?
.... That's the last time I'm letting you watch my movies when you're on break.


Link: Cheeky b*****d... he does know the truth but he won't tell me...

Go ahead and make your way out of the ruins.

Well, we're incredibly low on hearts, so uh... let's head back to the Animal Village to get some hearts from the grass.

What? Another Intermission? Have I run out of jokes?!


And now we're fully healed. Woo~


Ironically enough, if you beat those flying goombas with the boomerang, they drop fairies (usually). Which would have saved us a lot of time.


If you look at the screen, you can see the boulders making a path. But we're gonna ignore that for now.


Let's head up, but on the right side.


Hey look, an Owl.



Link: .... This owl really wants me dead, huh? ._.
Cryptic as always, Mr. Owl.

Head back to where we saw all those boulders two screens ago.

Toss boulders out of your way as you make your way up on the only side you can.


Toss the boulder, cut the grass, and toss the remaining boulders as you go left.


Bomb that bombable wall and take a peep inside.


Link: .... There was a fairy fountain here? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Could have saved us some time if we came here instead of risking death getting back to the Village. But we'd have to deal with more flying goombas. Ah well. Too late now. XD

Leave the cave.

We're gonna go swim and waste some time, since if we take the south route we'll actually reach the dungeon, so take the north ramp.


You can still get hurt from the bombs if they explode on land, even if you're underwater.
Naruto: Believe it!
Link: O_________O
O____________O
Link: -stabs Naruto-

Take the stairs, then head right.

Oh would you fancy that? There's a cave here. o:


Swim north.


Jump down and take those stairs.


Hmm? Doesn't this place look a little familiar?


Oh hey, look at that. We're on the other side of that gap just beyond the Angler's Cave. 8D



And there's a house here. And... a raft?
Link: Read the sign, read the sign!




... I guess we go in.


Huh, isn't that just a recolor of the guy back at the mini-game shop in Mabe Village?


Link: Oh god, his face. D8



Link: Expensive little p***k. >8|



Link: And... I guess the raft can move now?


Link: Oh hey, it is!

Just so you know, the controls are simple. I highly recommend having the feather on at least one of your buttons, as all the items on the rapids are floating. Well, except for the ones on the islands. Direction pad moves you. If you don't move, you'll be at the mercy of the current. Oh yeah, you can't use your weapons freely. Projectiles and such can't leave the raft.


Link: Sword beams are no go! D:


Link: Ahh... I'm gonna let the current take me...


Link: O_____________________________________________________O OH GOD FIGHT THE CURRENT FIGHT THE CURRENT! Dx


Link: Dx! I CAN'T FIGHT THE CURRENT!

Doesn't matter which waterfall you drop down from, as the floating items will be everywhere. Of course, if you want the items that on the islands, you need to take the left waterfall.


With some effort, you'll end here. Don't worry, the raft won't be left behind if you head up onto the island from the steps.


Rupees, yay.

Just to the right of this island is another...


Secret in question is actually a secret seashell, which we no longer need. Speaking of which, any secret seashells found in chests are now replaced with Rupees.


And here's 20 more rupees.


Link: This area feels like an INFINITE LOOP! o:


This is the area in question, with the secret shell. As you can see, there's an underground path to it.


Eventually, you'll reach the end of the rapids and drop off a waterfall.
Link: Don't... ever.... let me do that again....
What he doesn't know is that I forgot to save earlier, so I made him go through this a couple more times. ;D


You need to ditch the raft.


And it suddenly disappears when you leave the screen and come back.

Head to where you found the fairy fountain.

Now we're taking the south route.


You'll need to activate the statue on the left, then either kill it off with your boomerang, or wait in the water and watch as it falls in and drowns. Doesn't matter your method, as long as it's gone.


There be some stairs you can take.


Some fish in the water. Take them out, then head left.


You can't get to the 6th dungeon without the hookshot. Nice try, people who tried skipping dungeons.


We'll be on this side now. Take the right route.


Oh look, keyhole.

Shove that key in there.




Link: And there's the 6th dungeon.

Head around and take the steps up there.

Heh... time to head in.


Behold, the 6th dungeon, the Face Shrine.
Link: I guess it's shaped like a face?
Your face. 8D

And that's all I've got for ya. Next time, we'll clear this place and watch as our bracelet powers up!

See ya next time.

Chapter 20: CAUTION! INNUENDOS CONCERNING BLUE CUCCO SHOWN BELOW!

Sup folks? Welcome back to another installment of LP! LoZ: LA DX. I have great news.

... I didn't goof this time with the images. 8D

Better news as well.

... I have images up to chapter 23 uploaded and ready to work on. Isn't that great? Sure, it means a lot of work for me, but that also means even bigger things!

What bigger things you may ask? Well, after chapter 19, we reached the end of the 6th dungeon, right? Chapter 20 covers the path to the 7th dungeon, the Eagle's Tower. Chapter 21 shows you how to clear it. Chapter 22 is more stuff and how to reach Turtle's Rock and the 23rd chapter is beating the 8th dungeon. Still not getting it?

There are only 2 more chapters left of LP! LoZ: LA DX! That's right, we'll reach the end of the game by chapter 25!!!!! I know, I'm sad about it too. We've come so far, and we're almost at the very end. But we'll worry about that later. For now, I have a chapter to do. Ready Link?

Link: -snoozing-

Oh right, since I goofed last chapter, I gave him some freedom and called in a stunt double. So to take his place while he naps... hmm... who should I call...? -pulls out a list-

Marin, I'm calling you up to the stage.

Marin: I'm doing the chapter? I-I feel so honored! It's like my first step towards my dream. But wait... aren't I...?

Yeah, precisely why I'm calling you to the stage. You haven't been seen in a while. That, and I wanna tease Link a little. That okay with you?

Marin: Well, I dunno about the teasing, but yeah... I'll give you a hand with the chapter. Thank you so much. 3nodding

No problem. Let's get started.


So we cleared the 6th dungeon. We've got business far away from here, on the west side of the island.


So we play a little bit of Mambo's Song to get us to where we need to go.


And we're right by Crazy Tracey.
Marin: I should probably learn that song. It would make coming back from the Animal Village a lot safer...


And we need to go to town, so go do so.


Marin: I see my usual spot is empty as ever, though Papahl's child is doing a good job keeping it safe.


We can finally push this now.


Marin: I... wonder what's down here... you'll protect me if something happens, right Sama?
I got this, Marin. Your life is safe with me.


Marin: Eek! Bones! That poor Cucco. D:


We'll need the song from Mamu/Wart for this...


Marin: Is that... a spirit? eek
It's friendly.


Marin: It went inside the bones... o:
Yeah. It did.



Marin: Is that... the flying rooster? I thought it was just a myth!



The man. The myth. The legend. The infamous Blue c**k Cucco. His real name is the Flying Rooster, and is the final companion you get in the game. You may be wondering why he's called a 'flying rooster'. We'll you'll find out.


Marin: ...
Something wrong, Marin?
Marin: The Cucco is very friendly. o:
-insert witty p***s joke here-


If you equip the Power Bracelet, you can actually fly. Pretty sweet. You're also invulnerable to attacks while doing this. Even better. Want me to sweeten the deal? If you have the boomerang, I recommend tossing that first before grabbing the blue c**k and flying. The boomerang's gonna hang under ya and you can fly around, smiting enemies in the screen. Now that is awesome.

Make your way out of the grave.



Now that we're out, we need to head to the warp and go to the one near the 4th dungeon.


Marin: Oh that's right... there was one of these teleporters just outside of the Animal Village too, wasn't there? I should use that to make travel easier... but I like singing... Hmm... what a dilemma.
Save your voice, Marin. Especially since you'll wear it out singing so much.

With Cojiro (I decided to name it this since we do in fact have a blue Cucco by the name of Cojiro in OoT), we need to head towards the mountains. So start walking.







Marin: ...
Something wrong, Marin? You've been watching Cojiro pretty intensely.
Hm? No, I--
Oh, I get it... you naughty girl. You wanted to tame the blue c**k for yourself.
Marin: WHAT?! NO, I... >///////<
Ahahaha, you got so red. 8D I'm kidding, dear.

Heading up the stairs, we'll run into a familiar face.

Oh hey, Stalker Owl.




And then he goes away after talking about the Wind Fish.

Anyway, toss the boulder aside and go into the cave.

You can fly around these guys, so do so.


I know how to get that heart, and we will get it. Two chapters from now.


We could have actually gotten this chest after the 5th dungeon using the hookshot...


But flying is the only real way to travel nowadays.


50 rupees is pretty nice. Fly around the pit and head right, then take the exit on the right side of the cave.


The Eagle's Tower needs a key, so let's go get that.




Marin: This spot is all dry...
We drained it to reach the 4th dungeon.
Marin: Oh wow... sounds like you two had a lot of adventuring done...
Yeah.





Go into the cave.



There are two ways to get through. You can either be lazy and use the Cucco to fly around the pits to head north...


Or be boring and push all the boulders and hookshot across.


Just so you know, you really do need to have the Flying Cucco with you, or else you can't clear this area. At all.


Ride that Blue c**k to the other side.


There's our last key.
Marin: So that's what they look like... o:


Bird key get. Bird bird bird is the word.

Make your way out of the cave.

Go up to the house.


If we have a Mario, we must have a Luigi. And here he is.
Marin: As the... c**k Man?
Yes, as the... damn, Marin. That was pretty bold of you. This is the Cucco Man, who looks like Luigi.






He seems to be rather fond of your bouncing c**k. And by that, I mean the Flying Rooster.
Marin: *giggles*

Head on out and go back down the stairs.





Head into the cave.


Yeah, we've been in here before.




We turned back here a good while back, since this leads up to the Eagle's Tower.



Cryptic as usual, Mr. Owl.
Marin: They are the Guardians of Secrets, after all.
Huh... so they're replaced with the Stones of Truth in later games. Makes sense. Less cryptic, and more fun to goof with.


Up we go.


Beat the keese or fly around, then move right.



Take the exit.


We will see that bottom portion soon enough. Head left, but not down the stairs.


Into the cave we go.
Marin: You sure go through caves a lot.
We do. I'd make a sex joke involving the blue cucco and caves, but that would go over your head.




Take the stairs up.


Stun the Beetles, then fly over them. Stay on the risen area, as you can't cross the pit since it continues onto the next screen.


Hookshot across, then jump down onto the safe ground before heading out.


We're now down here. The bombable wall houses...


Marin: Is that a Great Fairy? This is my first time seeing one. o:


Once you get healed, head to the other opening.


North you go.


Take the stairs.


Go left.


Head south through the exit.


And we're now on the very top of the mountain.
Marin: ....
What's on your mind this time, Marin? You've been watching that c**k again.
Marin: I was reminded of the time I got to walk around with Link a good while back.
Oh, the infamous date chapter. So, since Link's still sleeping, talk to me. How do you feel about Link?
Marin: Um... ahahahaha... >//////>;;
Your response is more than enough answer, Marin.


And here's the Eagle's Tower.
Marin: It's... so big...
... That's what she said.

Toss the boulder aside and put the key into the keyhole.







Marin: Did you really need all those images of the tower turning?
Um... yes. sweatdrop


And there's the entrance into the tower. Like all previous companions, the cucco cannot follow you into dungeons.

Head on in.

And here's the 7th Dungeon, the Eagle's Tower. Good stopping point for us, as we are just one image shy of 100 images.

That's all we have this chapter. Thanks again to our guest star, Marin, for stepping in while Link was resting.
Marin: Thanks again for having me. <3
Catch us next time as we clear the tower and get a stronger and sturdier shield. Until then, see ya~
