Tingle’s Chart and Crescent Island Walkthrough

With the Flippers on, swim out of Cheval’s Grave and walk to the purple ruins of Yoll Graveyard, where Witch Syrup keeps her Potion Shop. She sells a Gasha Seed and a Magic Potion for 300 Rupees each. You cannot afford either yet, so look around and leave.

In the green fields of the present, outside Lynna City, Maple the witch swoops in on her broom. Step into her flight path so she collides with you, then grab whatever tumbles out of your bags before she does. A few Rupees fall and Maple leaves with her usual threat. Her visits are random and she can carry Pieces of Heart and rings, so read Maple Encounters if you want to hunt for them.

Beside the waterfall in the village river, use the Flippers to reach the ledge of dark rocks on the left bank. Dig with the Shovel and you uncover soft soil, a low-grade patch. Choose Plant to bury a Gasha Seed. Gasha Nuts grow after you kill enough enemies (see Gasha Seeds and Soft Soil), so this one will be ready on a later visit.

Walk to Rafton’s red-roofed house by the dock and talk to him. Answer OK when he asks for the rope: he will finish his raft, but he says you will also need a sea chart before he lets you sail. The Cheval Rope leaves your inventory here.

Walk out of the city into the grass field with the signpost. Ricky the kangaroo is standing there, and he tells you he lost his boxing gloves near the tree by the shore. He cannot clear holes in his current state. See Animal Companions for what Ricky can do once he travels with you.

Head past the shop and down a short stair to a sandy ledge beside a pond. Equip the Shovel and dig there to unearth Ricky’s Gloves. Carry them back to the field.

Give Ricky the gloves and he becomes your companion. Climb into his pouch and ride him toward a pit; he jumps it on his own, and he clears single-tile gaps with ease. Use him to cross the pit fields on the sand cliffs and reach the high rocky ledge to the south-west.

Five Tokay crowd you on the beach and run off with the Sword, Shield, Shovel, Roc’s Feather, Power Bracelet, Bombs, Seed Satchel, Zora’s Flippers and Harp of Ages. Each item ends up with a different Tokay, and you get them back by finding the thieves and by swapping with the trader.

Take the red-cliff path past the blue jellyfish and cut through the crystal yard. On the plateau, Rosa, the Tokay with a red bow, gives your Shovel back after a long ramble about her holiday. She is the thief with the Shovel in a Linked Game, and she warns you to hang on to it.

Back in the crystal yard, a shy Tokay mumbles about hiding and then gives back your Wooden Sword. Now you can fight the Octoroks and jellyfish along the island’s shores.

A Business Scrub on the dunes offers a Shield for 50 Rupees. You only have 28, so decline; a Tokay trades it back for 10 Scent Seeds later. Leave the Shield for now, because you do not need it to reach the Moonlit Grotto.

Find the trading hut on the island coast. The Tokay trader keeps a green mat with one stolen item on each side. He will sell the Power Bracelet to you for 10 Scent Seeds or swap it for your Shovel, and sell Roc’s Feather for 10 Mystery Seeds or swap it for the Shovel. You have no seeds yet, so swap the Shovel for the Power Bracelet.

Use the Power Bracelet to move the boulder along the shore and take the stairs down to the Cucco Hut, the hut with the portal glyph outside. A Tokay inside hands your Bombs back.

Return to the bush-ringed cave room you passed on the way: a cracked block guards a chest. Bomb it, step across and open the chest for a Gasha Seed.

Bomb the cracked wall outside the Cucco Hut and walk into the Wild Tokay game room. The host offers a prize for each win and each try costs 10 Rupees. Tokay run in from both sides: toss a piece of meat to every one of them without missing even one. Skip one and you fail.

Carry the Seedling to the palm grove in the north of the island, where a Tokay keeps a tree nursery, and plant it on the spot he points out. A tree takes a very long time to grow, which is why you harvest it from the present.

Return to the trading hut. Hand the Power Bracelet back to get the Shovel, then swap the Shovel for Roc’s Feather. (The Feather costs 10 Mystery Seeds, but your satchel is still missing.) With the Feather you can jump the water patches and holes in the cave north of the village.

Swap the Feather back for the Power Bracelet at the trader, enter the same cave and dive into the water at its north-west corner. The underwater passage leads up a ladder to stairs that reach the central plateau, where a Tokay with a flower on his head returns your Seed Satchel.

With the satchel back, return to the trader and buy Roc’s Feather for 10 Mystery Seeds. Then give the Power Bracelet back for the Shovel again. Roc’s Feather and the Shovel are now yours, and only the Power Bracelet has to wait for the Scent Seeds.

Take the south cave path to a Tokay in a red cap, who gives back the Harp of Ages. Walk to the Cucco Hut and play the Tune of Echoes on the portal glyph beside it to travel forward to the present.

You arrive on yellow sand beside a bright blue sea. Walk to the Tokay chef’s hut nearby: he is too stuffed up to cook. Give him the Stink Bag you collected in an earlier chapter. The smell clears his nose and he gives you Tasty Meat in thanks, the fourth item in the Trading Sequence.

Follow the paths through the jungle and sand to a grassy square. The tree you planted as a seedling is now fully grown. Hit it and 18 Scent Seeds drop. Scent Seeds draw monsters toward them when you throw them from the Seed Satchel.

Climb the vine on the south side of the island up to a high ledge. Lift the rocks with the Power Bracelet and dig with the Shovel to find a second soft soil patch, a middling spot. Plant the Gasha Seed you took from the chest.

Play the Tune of Echoes at the portal to return to the past. In the trading hut, give the Bracelet back for the Shovel and then pay 10 Scent Seeds to buy the Power Bracelet outright. You end up holding the Shovel, Roc’s Feather and Power Bracelet, and the trader announces that you have all your items. If you also want the Wooden Shield, you can buy it from the same Tokay for 10 more Scent Seeds, but you can leave it for later.

Go back to the Cucco Hut and play the Tune of Echoes on the portal glyph to return to the present. On the beach, walk to the crossing where one path heads north and the other east. Take the east path to the Great Fairy’s fountain, where she heals you fully whenever you are weary.

In the first rooms, cut the bushes, push the red blocks out of your way, and use a Bomb on the cracked block to open the west door. Bombs kill the hopping Pols Voice here, and so does a tune from the Harp of Ages. When it dies, a chest appears holding the Dungeon Map. The rest of the dungeon follows in the next chapter, Moonlit Grotto (Level 3).
