Southern Swamp, Kotake, Deku Palace, and Deku Butler

Link, I am truly thankful for what you have done for the princess.

As a sign of our gratitude, we Deku have prepared something that we think may assist you. I will lead you to it.

From here, the pathways are dark and can be quite treacherous...

Please follow closely and do not get separated from me.

Well done, Link!

Now, here is the item I promised. Please accept it.

Please follow me.

Actually, when I see you, I am reminded of my son who left home long ago...

Somehow, I feel as if I am once again racing with my son...

I am afraid I may have tried too hard to outrun you. As old as I am, I am still a fast competitor. Just like when I raced my son...

Please forgive my rudeness.

Ah?!? That mask...

It looks just like one my son used to wear...

My son often used that mask to find mushrooms in the forest. Oh, how I long for those days.

I wonder where he has gone...what he is doing... If only he would write me a letter...

Pardon me. Once again, thoughts of my son have me feeling sentimental. Now, where were we?

...Your Highness! I am begging you! Please calm down!

Now that our beloved princess is missing, the king has been unable to keep his cool...

I fear the princess may be caught up in some kind of trouble, just as that monkey claims...

But in his current state, the king can't even send troops out to look for her. What are we to do?

It's terribly sad... But nothing can calm the king now....

Our swamps have become poisoned...This may be the end of the Deku Kingdom!

Oh, great lords! Save us!

Oh, great lords! Please save us!

We were about to punish an innocent monkey!

More than anything, I'm just glad the princess has returned safely.

Has the poisoned swamp been cleared up?

That means we can now go to those places we couldn't get to before.

You can change into many things, can't you? Very strange, indeed!

This is the palace of the Deku Kingdom. Only those on official business may enter!

...But you may enter to see the public humiliation of the foolish monkey who angered our king.

Follow this hall straight to the Royal Chamber. Do not enter any other areas whatsoever!

Did you come to see the foolish monkey again?

You seem to enjoy seeing him!

Follow this hall straight to the Royal Chamber. Do not enter any other areas whatsoever!

I told you not to enter any areas other than the Royal Chamber!

...It is a very rare occasion that you are allowed to enter, so do as I say!

Follow this hall straight to the Royal Chamber. Do not enter any other areas whatsoever!

This is the royal palace of the Deku Kingdom. This is no place for outsiders.

Pun-ish-ment! Pun-ish-ment!

I saw it! That monkey and the princess entering the temple at night!

...But only the monkey came back out!

Rumor has it that the monkey ate the princess...

How frightful!

Only royal family members can enter the sunken temple, so it's obvious that the monkey was using her!

The tiny princess only recently learned to play the Deku Pipes...

His Royal Highness was so proud of her...

Aha! An intruder!

Tee-hee-hee! ...Welcome.

My potions work very well, they do.

...Are you, by chance, a boat cruise customer?

How unfortunate. Koume has gone into the woods out back, looking for mushrooms...

Hmm...Now that I think about it, she's a bit late coming back!

Say, could you go find her for me?

Hmm, yes. It's easy getting lost in those woods. Ask the monkeys that live there.

What's that?!? The Skull Kid got to Koume?!?

That's ridiculous...

If it's just the Skull Kid, then what harm could he possibly do?

Oh!! Well, if that's true, then take this potion to her... This isn't good...

Quick! Take that potion to her!

Oh! Did you give that potion to Koume? Don't tell me...

You didn't drink it all yourself, did you? .........

...Well, I'll be! You're a hopeless child. Next time, be sure you actually give it to her!

Koume told me all about it!

Hmm...So, did you take the boat cruise yet?

Take care...Tee-hee-hee!

Have you seen an old hag named Koume who looks just like me? She hasn't come back from gathering medicinal herbs...

Gone out back to the woods on a little errand. -Kotake The Manager

Tee-hee-hee! ...Hmm...Did you need me for something?

I'm heading back to the potion shop for now, so I'm counting on you.

...Could you, by chance, be a boat cruise passenger?

It's unfortunate, but Koume is missing...

Help me look for her...

Koume! Where are you?

Ah...hmm...Now that's a problem... See, we sell potions to humans only.

I don't think they'll work on anything but humans...Sorry, but you'll have to leave.

Ohh! Owow-ow! Help meeee!

I was just busy minding my own business, picking mushrooms, when... BAM! I got hit from behind!

That pesky Skull Kid! Did he think an old hag wouldn't recognize him if he hid his face?

Oh, ow! To think he's that powerful...and now I can't even move!

You! Don't you have anything that gives you energy?

Ah! What is this?! You're no help...

I say, you're not at all what you make yourself out to be!

Ow-ow-yeow! Don't you feel obligated to help a sorry old hag when you see one?

Ooh! Feel the energy flow!

Koume is revived!!!

You saved me!

Old Koume's Boat Cruise

Please inquire at the Magic Hags' Potion Shop near the edge of the swamp.

Ah, yes, we've got a special going on right now, so we're giving this out for free!

Ah! That color! That smell... That's definitely Kotake's...

Ack! Now I've done it! I've gone and attracted some weirdo's attention! Umm...I'll just play dead.

.........

Well, this is where the boat cruise leaves from, but unfortunately it's for humans only.

Oh! Thanks for what you did back there!

As a special just for you, I'll let you take this cruise for free.

Oh, but wait...Yes. Just as I thought...

It seems the poison swamp has been cleaned up, so why not try something that's more interesting?

How about a little game? I'll fly around on my broom, and you try to hit my target?

Doesn't it sound fun? Well, wanna try?
Sure
No thanks

Why not?!? You don't like to play with us old folk?

Oh, I see how it is! If that's the case, then shoo! Shoo! Off you go!

Tee-hee-hee! That's the way to go!

But let me explain! You're not aiming for me with that bow. You're aiming for the target!

If you hit me, I'll never forgive you.

Ready? Here we go!

Tee-hee-hee-hee! So you do want to try? The old hag sees all!

...Hmm...Let's see.

Ho! You again? If you'd like to play that game, it's 10 Rupees.

What'll it be?

I'll play
No thanks

Well, you do that then. You'll never be an upstanding adult if you don't challenge yourself.

Why, you don't have enough Rupees! Don't you try to make a fool out of me!

Your last record was # hits. If you get more than that, you'll

win a prize. Now, then. Here we go!

To shoot a pathetic old hag 10 times! I'd like to see your parents' faces when they hear of it!

# hits Say...you're pretty good.

Well, as I promised... Here! Take this.

It may be impossible to break this record.

But if you want to try again, just ask me!

Wow! That was sloppy! # hits, eh...

Why don't you come back after you practice up a bit!

Wow. That was sloppy! # hits, huh?

You have to get more than # hits. Otherwise, no prize.

#! Pretty good, considering...

Well, as I promised... Here! Take this.

Now wasn't that fun? If you'd like to play again, come back and see me...Tee-hee!

Hey! Hey! Hey! What are you aiming for, anyway? That's it! We're done!

Blue Potion: 60 Rupees
Actually, I can't get the ingredients for this, so I'm sold out. Sorry.

What's that? You want a Blue Potion, do you?

Well, you gave me a mushroom, so I'll give you one for free.

Sniff, sniff...I think I'm smelling the light fragrance of mushrooms... Do you have any?

Mmmm...What a scent! Oh, you did a great job finding this one!

I just haven't been able to get my hands on any of them, and that put me in a real pinch!

Well, I can use this to make something, so come back later.

What I use this for is a trade secret! Sorry, but you'll have to come back later.

Long ago, this powerful nose of mine could detect them wherever they grew...

But lately my nose has lost its touch...

It's tough getting old...

Mmm... This mushroom smells nice, too.

I'll pay a fortune for it. You must sell it to me! Here!

Keep bringing 'em in!

If you have a mushroom, I'll buy it.

But next time you'll have to pay for it. Oh...and don't tell Koume!

If you take a nice picture from the boat, take it to that fella over there.

All right...The boat's leaving!

Why, your bottle's already full!

I can't sell you any potions unless you have an empty bottle!

What are you hangin' around for? I hate slackers!

Oh! Aren't you wearing a fine mask!

With that mask, you can find the mushrooms that grow in the woods.

Find a bunch and bring 'em here!

Everyone! Hurry up and get that cauldron ready!!!

I haven't seen your face before. Are you visiting?

Usually, I don't allow the likes of you in my Royal Chamber, but today is different!

We're about to punish the foolish monkey who kidnapped the Deku princess!

He has insulted the Royal Family. I'll show him what happens when you do that!

That foolish monkey is up in that cage. Take a good look at his face!

How about that? ...Hot, isn't it?

The monkey shall suffer and suffer 'til he can suffer no more!

You shall know the wrath of a king whose darling princess was taken away from him!!!

Suffer! I shall prolong his suffering! Foolish monkey!

Oh, my princess! My darling princess!!! You are all right? I was so worried.

Hasty decision making is my weakness...This time, more than ever, it has become clear to me.

Oh, strange traveler, there is little I can do. Please rest a bit before going.

Everyone, did you hear that?

This melody, which only the Deku Royal Family knows...

It proves the foolish monkey deceived the princess so he could enter the temple!

Everyone! Let the monkey's punishment commence!

They keep saying that I kidnapped her. No matter how many times they say it, it's not going to bring the princess back!

If they're not careful, the princess will fall victim to a monster!

Please, believe my words...

Oh! You...How did you get here?

Shhh! If they see you, they'll capture you!

What? My brothers asked for your help? Ugh...I'm terribly sorry...

Just try to cut my rope. We'll talk after that!

What are you doing? Quick--cut this rope!

Huh? That guy... Where did he go???

Hmm...No good, after all!

Wait...You don't happen to have something that can make a lot of noise...like a loud instrument with sound that carries a long way?

If you have one, show it to me!

If you have one, show me! We have to use it...

Please! An instrument that can blare out a lot of sound that'll carry a long way!

That tiny thing will never do. Its sound won't carry far enough...

Don't you have something else?

Hmm...That definitely makes noise... but that's not it!

That's not it. One with blaring sound that carries even farther!

Huh? That guy... Where did he go?

Oh! You have them! You do! Just like the princess... Deku Pipes! Those will work great!!!

By the way...who are you?

By the way...who are you?

By the way...who are you?

...Whoa! That's not important now... Just listen to me!

I was trying to find out about the poison in the swamp, so I went to Woodfall Temple above the waterfall.

But the temple had become a monster's lair, and the princess was captured by the monster...

Since the Deku king thinks I kidnapped the princess, he won't listen to a word I say.

Now the princess is in trouble, so I must somehow hurry to the temple and save her!

Do you understand my plight?

No
Yes

Then I will tell you and tell you until it is clear to you!

So then, that means...

You will go in my place and save the princess!

OK, now I'll teach you the melody that opens the temple.

The princess taught it to me! We can't let them hear us, so I'll sing it softly...

You'd better take the shortcut the Deku people use to get to Woodfall Temple.

But you must hurry! If you don't, I will be punished by the Deku king!

I understand, Princess. Forget about that. Has the temple been returned to normal?

Really? So you're called Link, are you?

Thank you for keeping your promise to me.

Link, I'm sorry for all that trouble.

Now it looks like we monkeys and the Deku Scrubs can start getting along again.

...You know, the swamp may be back to normal, but something still gives me a bad feeling...

I wonder what it could be?

Ooh! Hot! Hot! St-stop it! Please!!!

They keep saying that I kidnapped her. No matter how many times they say it, it's not going to bring the princess back!

.........

Why won't they believe what I say?

...Fine! I get it! Then I shall say nothing more to you! Punish me or do whatever else you might!

I have nothing else to say to you Deku Scrubs! Do as you will!
