Now that we have finished the Swamp Dungeon, we just have a few sidequesties to do, and then it is off to Snowhead area to get the Goron Mask!

Now that the Boss has been defeated, we see the poison of the swamp disapear and the swamp goes back to normal.

We find the missing Princess hidden behind some vines. She asks us to take her back to her father quickly. How do we bring her there? Sweep her up in to a bottle of course!

Really not sure how she manages to fit, but she does. Before we head back to the Deku Palace though, we head over to the Great Fairy Fountain, and she upgrades our spin attack, which I never use anyways. Yay! Now we head back to the Deku Palace.

Once we arrive, we drop the Princess out in front of the King. She tackles him and jumps up and down on him, calling him foolish. She also yells at the other scrubs and demands they release the poor innocent monkey.

Once that is all said and done, Link is thanked for his time and the Deku Butler offers us something if we go to the area to the left of the Deku Palace. What follows is one of the most rage inducing sidequests of the game.

We go see the Deku Butler and he offers us a prize. We just have to follow him to go get it. It's really just that simple. We have to follow him and not fall behind and do jumps and avoid walls of fire and a few other things. At the end of it, he apoligizes for going so fast, saying he felt something like his son in Link and his competetive nature came out.

Here are some pics of the ordeal for you:

In exchange for all of this, he gives us the Mask of Scents which helps you with a potion sidequest that I never do. If you want to know, it sniffs out mushrooms (and stinky underwear), you swipe them in a bottle, bring them to the potion shop and BAM blue potion.

It isn't clear at the point in the game, but the sad tree we saw way at the beginning? That was the Deku butlers son. And he doesn't come back at the end. He is just dead. I'm making it slightly lighthearted, but no it's actually one of the saddest parts of the game at the end when everyone is celebrating and the Deku Butler finds his dead son. Sadness.

Anyways, now we head back and rescue the old witch again (because we reset time) which allows us to do her post Woodfall archery game. You have to shoot a certain number of targets as the boat goes around and avoid hiting her too many times. After a few tries, I suceed and get a piece of heart!

After that event it is time to go to the Spider House and free the poor random man from his curse.

This is the Spider House:

And this is the curse:

It's kind of like the sidequest in OoT where you have to find all of the spiders, but they are all in this one place. I'm not going to give a guide to where all 30 are, but if you need any help, let me know and I'll post it up!

In exchange for freeing the man from is curse, we get the Mask of Truth, which allows us to speak to the Stones of Truth and animals.

And with that, we can proceed to do another sidequest. There are four stones of truth in holes around Termina field. Well four in each four holes... ish. Anyways, they say they al want to be the same colour. So we have to go around singing our Sonata of Awakening to the biggest stone to turn them all green. For this we get a heart piece!

If it is the first or second night, we can go see the Postman in Clock Town and he will challenge us to guess 10 seconds on the dot. If you wear the Bunny Hood you can see the timer, which makes it significantly easier. If you suceed, you get a piece of heart!

Now that we are in Clock Town, we can do a few more things. To get this out of the way, there is an archery game in Clock Town. If you beat the high score of 39(?) you get a larger quiver for your arrows. That was easy enough. But you need to hit EVERY SINGLE TARGET to get the piece of heart and after wasting countless rupees, I gave up. I'll get it another time!

Another fun game, if you have the time, is the Lover's game place. You need to win 3 different games in 3 days to get the piece of heart. The first day I think is the one where you set Bombachus to explode on the targets, the 2nd day you throw bombs in to baskets, and the 3rd day you shoot arrows at moving targets. New piece of heart!

After that, we wait until the third day to get access to Romani Ranch. At the far end of the ranch is the dog races. Put on your mask of truth and pick up the dogs to hear their thoughts. The more confident they sound, the more likely they are to win. If you win 150 rupees on a bet, you also get another piece of heart!

There's a few more sidequests you can do in town now, but i'm saving those for later.

Next up is Goron Village!
