Getting There:
Head over to the Southern Swamp. Once you’ve got access to the boat tours at the Swamp Tourist Center, you can cruise past that Big Octo blocking the way. Spot the house? Great! There’s a big ol’ spider web at the entrance. Light a Deku Stick from the nearby torch or fire off a Fire Arrow to clear your path.
What You’ll Need:
- Deku Mask: For those nifty Deku Flowers.
- Hero’s Bow or Deku Bubble: To hit those out-of-reach targets.
- Bombs or Blast Mask: To deal with any pesky boulders.
- Magic Beans (2): For planting in soft soil spots.
- Bottled Bugs (3): To lure out hidden Skulltulas.
- Bottle of Spring Water: To help those Magic Beans grow.
If you’re short on Bugs or Spring Water, no worries! You can snag them right at the entrance.
