A Mushroom for the Witch

Before going to the Eastern Palace, take a quick look into the Lost Woods. Picking up the Mushroom and the Piece of Heart somewhere in these woods first makes the adventure ahead a lot easier. Mind you, the Mushroom is no use as it is.

In the Lost Woods, Link found a giant Mushroom that smelled like sweet, rotten fruit. There was something magical about it, something valuable. Finally, he gave it to the Witch who lived near the Waterfall of Wishing. With the Mushroom, she made Magic Powder and later gave some of it to Link.
