 Final Version completed 22/10/2011:

    A long overdue update. Looking back at my old work, I can't believe how
 bad it looks/feels: it simply screams "immature author" and more
 than half of the text seems to be more drivel and bad attempts at puns
 rather than useful information. Yes, I feel ashamed having done this so
 poorly, so the only thing I can do is to go back and do this thing the way
 it was meant to be done in the first place.
    For this update, I have completely revised the whole document,
 making it a more serious, more informative and just plain more of
 a proper guide. Trust me, it is, if I may say so myself, a VAST improvement
 over the previous versions.

 Nothing added. This is the first version.

    Just to get it off my chest: in retrospect, I no longer know what I truly
 intended to accomplish with this guide, considering how bad it was until now.
 I guess that I just wrote it back then for the heck of it or some other reason
 I don't even know...
    But all of a sudden, I found the motivation to go back to my old work and
 do it over one more time, just to iron out all the flaws and to make sure I
 won't have to feel ashamed of myself anymore, having released such a
 flawed work.
    Well, this document can at least call itself a proper Boss/Item Guide now.

    SPOILER WARNING! - The following section will reveal all bosses of the game!

    Let me start off with an explanation of how this section works.
 Take note that I choose not to reference to the player at all,
 but instead only to Link in third-person, throughout the rest
 of the Boss Guide as well as the whole Item Guide.
    Below you will se the template used to describe each enemy in the game
 that can be considered a boss/mini-boss.

   \_|_|---------------------------------------|_|_/

 HABITAT
    The place where the boss can be found.

 OCCUPATION
    Shows if the enemy is a Mini-boss or regular Boss.

 HEALTH
   This previously contained a roughly calculated health based off
   how many hits it took to defeat the boss with the Wooden Sword.
   Now, too avoid mistakes (since not all bosses can be defeated with
   a sword), I've decided to simply call their health "Low", "Medium",
   "High" or "Very High" instead. If the boss has more than one phase,
   the health listed refers to the average health the boss has each
   turn.
      Example: "Low" health and three phases of battle doesn't equal
   "High" health and one phase. Trust me, it isn't nearly as complicated
   as I make it sound right now...

 ATTACKS
    � What the boss can do in order to harm you. The names are invented
      by me and don't appear in-game.

 STRATEGY
    What kind of strategy the boss uses against Link. This includes
    how it attacks, and when.

 HOW TO WIN
    How to beat the boss in the most effective way.

 LINK NEEDS
    � This lists the items Link _needs_ to beat the boss, not the ones
      he can, but doesn't have to, use. If Link can use his Sword to beat
      a boss, I will always list it as needed, even though Link might
      be able to beat the boss with another weapon instead.

 ADDITIONAL INFO
    This will only appear if there is anything else about the boss
    the player should know.

 HABITAT
    Spirit's Grave

 OCCUPATION
    Mini-boss

 HEALTH
    Low

 ATTACKS
    � Haunted Lunge
    � Summon Mini Ghinis

 STRATEGY
    This giant ghost, master of Ghinis, will challenge Link to a
 duel to the death.
    To make Link's life miserable, Giant Ghini will summon three Mini Ghinis to
 hamper him, making him unable to use items. Once these small, golden spectres
 entangle Link, Giant Ghini will have the perfect opportunity to ram into him.
 Sometimes, the boss will also lunge for Link even when there aren't any
 Mini Ghinis on-screen. Giant Ghini always frowns and opens its mouth
 when it is about to attack.
 
 HOW TO WIN
    Giant Ghini is always vulnerable to Link's sword. Remember that
 Link cannot swing it while surrounded by Mini Ghinis though.
 
 LINK NEEDS
    � Sword

 HABITAT
    Spirit's Grave

 OCCUPATION
    Boss - Guardian of the Eternal Spirit

 HEALTH
    Low

 ATTACKS
    � Trio Flame
    � Stomp

 STRATEGY
    Pumpkin Head, the ghost with a huge jack-o'-lantern for a head,
 seems content lumbering around its lair aimlessly, only occasionally
 interrupting itself to use one of its attacks. It is only likely to
 fire a set of three rings at Link if he comes within its line of sight,
 but it will use its stomp-attack at regular intervals regardless
 if it is facing him or not.
 
 HOW TO WIN
    Pumpkin Head's body is vulnerable to Link's sword. After a few
 hits, the body will disintegrate, sending the head tumbling to the
 floor. Link will then have a short window of opportunity to pick the
 head up with the Power Bracelet.
    This flushes out the real enemy, a tiny, seemingly harmless ghini.
 It will zoom around the room, trying to get away from Link. At this
 point, it can be injured either by Link slashing it with his sword,
 or simply by throwing the pumpkin on the boss.

 ATTACKS
    � Ground Pound

 STRATEGY
    Swoop will take off into the air and hover way above Link's reach.
 Occasionally, it will perform its Ground Pound attack, which is strong
 enough to break the crumbling floor, leaving Link with less space to
 fight on. As the fight wears on, Swoop will fly even faster and
 also bounce across the floor as it crashes down.
    Swoop cannot destroy the blue tiles along the perimeter of the room.
 
 HOW TO WIN
    Swoop is vulnerable to Link's sword right after it pounds the floor.

 LINK NEEDS
    � Sword

    Wing Dungeon

 OCCUPATION
    Boss - Guardian of the Ancient Wood

 HEALTH
    Medium?

 ATTACKS
    � Summon Lava Bubbles
    � Fireball Wheel
    � Earthquake

 STRATEGY
    Head Thwomp is a bizarre enemy that seems to consist of a spinning,
 four-faced idol suspended in the air. It will shift between these four
 faces, each with its own unique expression, in cycle, periodically
 spouting Lava Bubbles out of its head. Collectible bombs will also
 ocassionally be thrown out. The boss will perform its other attacks
 only if Link stops the boss on the attack's corresponding face.
    The green face simply performs a regular Summon Lava Bubbles attack
 that the boss normally uses anyway.
    The blue face summons a number of hard-to-dodge fireballs that will
 revolve around its head for quite a while.
    The purple face crashes down on the floor, causing boulders to drop
 from the ceiling that Link can only safely avoid by standing on the
 middle level, underneath one of the stationary stone platforms.
 
 HOW TO WIN
    Link must use the Roc's Feather to jump onto one of the three
 circling platforms. When he gets a clear shot, he must drop a bomb
 into Head Thwomps crown. This will cause the boss to spin around wildly,
 eventually stopping on the same face that was shown exactly when the bomb
 fell into it. Link must successfully stop the head on the red face
 to inflict damage on the boss.
    Four halts on the red face will defeat Head Thwomp, but it gradually
 spins faster and faster each time it is hurt.

 LINK NEEDS
    � Roc's Feather
    � Bombs

 ADDITIONAL INFO
    Head Thwomp drops a Recovery Heart each time it stops on the red face.

 ATTACKS
    � Drill Strike

 STRATEGY
    Most of his enemies are clever enough to realize that Link's sword can
 really put them in a world of hurt, so they go to great lengths to avoid it.
 Whereas Swoop of Wing Dungeon chose to stay airborne, Subterror will do the
 exact opposite: burrow his way underground and attack from where it believes
 Link cannot hope to counter.
    From underground, Subterror will dig its way towards Link and attempt
 to strike him with its drill-like snout. The more hits it eats itself,
 the faster it will dig.

 HOW TO WIN
    Link must use his shovel to flush the boss out of the sand. He must time
 his digging with Subterror's movement though, and remember that the boss
 cannot be dug out while it is performing its Drill Strike.

 LINK NEEEDS
    � Shovel
    � Sword

 ADDITIONAL INFO
    Link can dig for items in the sand, and the holes will refill themselves
 as Subterror passes under them.

 OCCUPATION

 HEALTH

 ATTACKS
    � Shadow Split
    � Shadow Rush
    � Summon Mothulas

 STRATEGY
    Shadow Hag is a cowardly foe who won't willingly reveal itself in front
 of Link. It begins by splitting into four shadows that will hunt Link for
 a while before reforming, at which time the boss proceeds to summon
 Mothulas. Afterwards, Shadow Hag will appear behind Link and rush towards
 him at full speed. If Link turns around to look at the boss, it will
 revert to its shadow form and use either of its two other attacks instead.

 HOW TO WIN
    Link can dodge most of Shadow Hag's attacks by jumping over them with
 Roc's Feather.
    To beat Shadow Hag, Link must wait for it to appear behind him in its
 humanoid form, then shoot a seed forward so that it bounces back and hits
 the boss while it rushes towards him.

 ADDITIONAL INFO
    The Mothulas will occasionally drop seeds upon defeat.

 ATTACKS
    � Ramming Tackle

 STRATEGY
    This oversized warrior certainly doesn't lie when it says that its shield
 is mighty. None of Link's attack can even dent it.
    Armos Knight begins the battle by sending its self-guided sword to hunt
 Link while it stays behind its sword-emblazoned shield. It will pace around
 the room, occasionally changing directions if Link gets to close.
    Without its shield, the mini-boss will charge full speed at Link in a
 direct line.

 HOW TO WIN
    Link must lure the spinning "Mighty Sword" into hitting Armos Knight's
 shield. Three hits will break the shield, at which time the boss becomes
 vulerable to Link's sword.

 STRATEGY
    Eyesoar summons Patras to protect itself. These will circle the boss,
 ocassionally expanding the circle to try to attack Link. Eyesoar aims
 to have four Patras surrounding it, quickly replacing any who are
 struck down.
    

 HOW TO WIN
    Link must switch places with Eyesoar with the Switch Hook whenever
 the opportunity presents itself. If done successfully, the boss will
 spin around disoriented, at which time its Patra minions will scatter
 and leave it wide-open to attack.

 STRATEGY
    The Great Moblin will remain on the upper level, ocassionally tossing

 bomb back up, the Great Moblin will quickly run for it and toss it back
 down again.
    While he is preoccupied with the Great Moblin, two lesser Moblins
 will continually assail Link with regular bombs, adding to the intensity
 of the battle.

 HOW TO WIN
    Link must time his own throws so that the bombs that are tossed down
 on him explode in the Great Moblin's face. Six bombs are needed to send
 the Great Moblin and his posse packing.

 STRATEGY
    Smasher is a deranged creature with an affinity for crushing its
 foes with a huge metal ball.
    Smasher will go for the ball whenever it appears and try to smash
 Link with it. If Link holds the ball, or when there is no ball present,
 the mini-boss flops around aimlessly in a state of panic.

 HOW TO WIN
    To emerge victorious from the dodgeball game of death, Link must be
 the first pick up the ball (with the help of the Power Bracelet) and
 give Smasher an unhealty dose of his own medicine. Five hits will put
 Smasher on ice.

 in the chamber.

 HEALTH

 ATTACKS
    � Poison Breath
    � Lightning Bolt

 STRATEGY
    Smog is an unconventional boss whose battle is more like solving a
 puzzle rather than staging an action-packed fight.
    Smog begins by breaking apart into two or three invulnerable pieces.
 These will then follow the outlines of the various block formations the
 boss summons in the chamber. If the pieces run into each other, they
 will recombine the boss.
    The smaller pieces will attack with blue Poison Breath, although the
 projectiles cannot go through blocks. The fully united Smog can attack
 with some relatively more dangerous Lighting Bolts. Physical contact
 with Smog will electrocute Link.

 HOW TO WIN
    Link must strategically use his newly aquired Cane of Somaria
 to connect block-formations with each other, thereby allowing the
 pieces to unite by running into each other. Remember that Link
 can slow the pieces down by hitting them with his sword.
    Read the following diagrams to find out how Link can beat this
 boss in the most efficient manner.

 HABITAT
    Mermaid's Cave (Present)

 OCCUPATION
    Mini-boss

 HEALTH
    Medium

 ATTACKS
    � Energy Sphere
    � Splitting Energy Sphere
    � Homing Energy Sphere

 STRATEGY
    Vire appears in Mermaid's Cave in the Present and claims to be Veran's
 loyal henchman. It is likely true, as Octogon, the boss of Mermaid's Cave
 was (read: is to be) defeated by Link in the Past.
    The mini-boss will usually circle Link while pelting him with energy
 bolts that can dispelled with Link's sword, but may also attempt to zoom
 across the screen or swiftly appear in a corner to release a Homing Energy
 Sphere. Vire will do its very best to stay away from Link's sword and will
 likely flee off-screen if he gets to close, only to reappear elsewhere.

 HOW TO WIN
    Link must slash the boss with his sword whenever the opportunity presents
 itself. Vire is quite difficult to hit, but it leaves itself especially open
 will trying to do a fly-by. After enough hits, Vire breaks apart into two
 smaller bats that will try to dive into Link. He must then either wait for
 them to get close, or jump with Roc's Feather to reach them.

 HABITAT
    Mermaid's Cave (Past)

 OCCUPATION
    Boss - Guardian of the Bereft Peak

 HEALTH
    High

 ATTACKS
    � Rock Spit
    � Fireball Rain
    � Bubble Trap

 STRATEGY
    Above water, Octogon swims laps around the platform in the middle
 of the chamber. It will do so while turned away though, leaving only its
 inpenetrable shell exposed to Link, only turning around to spit a small
 rock at Link every now and then.
    After taking a few hits, Octogon will submerge itself partially,
 at which time Link must jump into the water and dive to the bottom
 to continue the fight. If Link remains above water, the boss will
 use its Fireball Rain attack, shooting a large fireball out of its shell
 that splits in four upon decent.
    Underwater, Octogon takes on a more active role, hunting Link around
 the chamber while attempting to shoot Bubble Traps that will immobilize
 him for a few seconds.

 HOW TO WIN
    Link can easily slash Octogon while it turns around to spit a rock
 at him. Underwater, Link can simply draw near it and slash it at his leisure,
 since the boss ir really trying to hunt him, rather than focusing on avoiding
 him.

 LINK NEEDS
    � Sword

 ADDITIONAL INFO
    The pots on the platform will reappear each time Link resurfaces.
 They cotain Scent Seeds, in case Link wishes to try his Seed Shooter
 against Octogon

 HABITAT
    Ambi's Palace

 OCCUPATION
    Villain

 HEALTH
    Medium

 ATTACKS
    � Multi-shot Sphere

 STRATEGY
    While the possessed Nayru is the one sent into battle, Veran is the
 real enemy that Link must conquer.
    Veran will have Nayru teleporting around the room and stop next to one
 of the many decorative pillars. If Link is too close nearby, she will warp
 to a new one. If she deems it safe, she will use her Multi-shot Sphere attack
 which launches firballs in a counterclock-wise spiraling circle around her.

 HOW TO WIN
    After Link brought them to Queen Ambi, Veran reminded herself that
 Mystery Seeds are the only thing that can spoil her plan.
    Since Link wouldn't want to hurt Nayru, he will have to use Mystery Seeds
 to stun her, which forces Veran to briefly leave her body. She still cannot
 be hurt though, so Link has to use the Switch Hook on her to remove her
 from Nayru's body in order for her to be vulnerable to his sword.

 ATTACKS
    � Bubble Blast

 STRATEGY
    Angler Fish will bounce around the side-scrolling chamber, attempting
 to flatten Link. Its only real attack, Bubble Blast, involves shooting a
 large bubble at Link. 

 HOW TO WIN
    Link can deflate the mini-boss with a Scent Seed fired off the Seed
 Shooter, which leaves it wide-open to attack. however, all he really
 needs to do is slash away at Angler Fish's glowing esca until it gives in.

 ADDITIONAL INFO
    The bubbles Angler Fish shoots can be popped with Link's sword, and
 may drop Scent Seeds.

 ATTACKS
    � Plasma Ball
    � Electro-shock

 STRATEGY
    Plasmarine relies on its speed and deadly bio-electric attacks
 to gain the upper hand over Link.
    The boss will mostly use its Plasma Ball attack, which launches
 an energy ball that matches its current colour: blue or red. Other
 than that, Plasmarine can also attempt to fry Link by surrounding
 itself in a high-voltage electric field.

 HOW TO WIN
    Plasmarine is weak to its own Plasma Ball attack, when it is of
 a different colour. The trick to beating it is to use the Long Hook
 to switch places with the boss directly after it fires off a Plasma Ball,
 which causes it to switch colour and ending up placed in the line of fire
 of its own attack.

 ATTACKS

    � Time-Turner Sphere
    � Shrapnel Sphere

 STRATEGY
    Though Blue Stalfos' body is intangible and immune to physical harm,
 it mostly chooses to keep its distance from Link, floating around in
 random directions. It will periodically charge up one of its two magic
 attacks. Which one it is using won't be apparent until it has been cast.
 The smooth sphere will turn Link into an helpless infant for a
 few seconds, while the twirling sphere splits into six smaller bolts
 once it gets near Link, or he hits it.
    Should Link get to close to Blue Stalfos as it stops, the mini-boss
 will swing its vicious scythe at Link.
    

 HOW TO WIN
    Link must turn the Time-Turner Sphere on Blue Stalfos by hitting
 it with his sword. If the mini-boss is hit by its own magic, it will
 turn into its helpless "infant" state, at which time it is vulnerable
 to Link's sword.

 ATTACKS
    � Flying Fist

    � Homing Energy Ball
    � Laser Sweep
    � Wrecking Ball

 STRATEGY
    This ancient machine has a set of four different kinds of arms,
 and how it behaves depend on which ones it is currently equipped with.
    In the Stone-arm Phase, Ramrock will hover back and forth horinzontally
 and launch its fists at Link whenever a clear shot is possible. The fists
 have limited homing capabilities.
    In the Crusher-arm Phase, Ramrock will chase after Link and smash his
 arms together every other second.
    In the Shield-arm Phase, Ramrock will hover back and forth horinzontally
 and occasionally unleash one of its two attacks. The shields block all
 frontal attacks, to the point of even canceling any attack Ramrock is in
 the process of performing itself.
    In the Ball'n'Chain-arm Phase, Ramrock will again hover back and forth
 horinzontally, launching one of its deadly weapons at Link if he ends
 up in its line of fire. In rare cases, Ramrock may launch both balls.

 HOW TO WIN
    In the Stone-arm Phase, Link must slash a fist as it comes flying to
 knock it back. If he can hit Ramrock three times this way, the next phase
 begins.
    In the Crusher-arm Phase, Link must drop a bomb directly in front
 of Ramrock's arms as they draw back, causing them to crush it and hurt
 the boss in the process. Three bombs initiates the next phase.
    In the Shield-arm Phase, Ramrock will block all frontal attacks,
 even canceling any attack it is in the process of performing. With the
 Seed Shooter, Link can bounce seeds into Ramrock's unprotected back.
 After a few hits, the last phase begins.
    In the Ball'n'Chain-arm Phase, Link must pull the ball Ramrock didn't
 launch all the way out with the Power Gloves. When he lets go of it,
 the ball will rebound and damage Ramrock. Three hits will finish
 the boss once and for all.

 ATTACKS
    � Multi-shot Sphere
    � Summon Dark Spiders

 STRATEGY
    While the possessed Queen Ambi is the one sent into battle, Veran is the
 real enemy that Link must conquer.
    Similar to her strategy in her previous run-in with Link, Veran will make
 Queen Ambi teleport to one of the pillars in the chamber. She has learnt her
 lesson though, and will therefore be a lot more cautious this time around.
 She also has a new trick up her sleeve: summoning Dark Spiders.

 HOW TO WIN
    Since Link wouldn't want to hurt Queen Ambi either, he will again have to
 resort to Mystery Seeds to stun her, which forces Veran to briefly leave
 her body. She still cannot be hurt though, so Link has to use the Long Hook
 on her to remove her from Queen Ambi's in order for her to be vulnerable to
 his sword. Link should try to avoid using the Long Hook on Veran from too far
 away though, as that would give him less time to attack her.

 ATTACKS
    � Toxic Quake
    � Web Slam
    � Arachnid Pounce
    � Stinger Barrage
    � Summon Dark Bees

 STRATEGY
    Finally recognizing Link as a true threat, Veran regrets having to
 resort to her three nastiest transformations, for she believes them to
 be so vile that even she's uncomfortable using them.
    In her Beetle Form, she will jump into the air and attempt to crush
 Link. When she lands on the floor, a pool of toxic briefly floods out from
 under her.
    In her Spider Form, she will move in diagonal patterns around the room,
 occasionally moving faster whenever she senses Link nearby. She can try to
 ensnare Link with a strand of web and violently slam him onto the floor or
 jump up into the air and try to drop down on him.
    In her Bee Form, she'll fly around in an 8-shaped pattern, trying to
 collide with Link. She can also unleash a Stinger Barrage while zooming
 horizontally across the room, or summon a swarm of Dark Bees to pester him.

 HOW TO WIN
    In her Beetle Form, her head is weak to Link's sword while she pops it
 out to scan the room for his position.
    In her Spider Form, Link must stun her with a well-timed bomb to reveal
 her head, which is otherwise well-protected underneath the "spider head".
    In her Bee Form, she is unprotected against Link's sword.

 ADDITIONAL INFO
    The Dark Bees might drop Recovery Hearts. The re-growing plant in the
 middle of the chamber will spawn collectible bombs. Note that Veran will
 usually alternate between her Beetle Form and randomly one of the two others.
 She is guaranteed to use at least two, but she may not, depending on the
 circumstances, use the remaining third one at all...

 HABITAT
    Unknown

 OCCUPATION
    Main villain?

 HEALTH
    Low

 ATTACKS
    � Fireball Blast
    � Summon Fire Keese
    � Ice Bolt
    � Summon Ice Spikes

 STRATEGY
    Twinrova is the combined form of Koume and Kotake, and she has control
 over both fire and ice. She starts off the battle by selecting either her
 ice- or fire-form, and will then alternate regularly between the two.
    While she's in her fire-form, the room will have a set number of
 lavapits that Link can fall into if he's not careful. Twinrova's Fireball
 Blast is a seemingly weak burning flame that, upon hitting a wall, explodes
 into three smaller fireballs that will be aimed towards Link. She can also
 summon Fire Keese and send them after Link.
    In her ice form, Twinrova will freeze over the floor in the entire room,
 making it much harder for Link to move. She will then summon two to three
 Ice Spikes that will slide and bounce around the room. While Link is slipping
 around trying to dodge the spikes, Twinrova will take potshots on him with
 her Ice Bolt attack.

 HOW TO WIN
    Link must slash Twinrova with his sword until she is stunned, at which
 time she can be injured with a Ember Seed/Scent Seed from the Seed Shooter.

 LINK NEEDS
    � Sword
    � Seed Shooter?

 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
    If Link can manage to defeat the Fire Keese before they fly off-screen,
 they might drop Recovery Hearts.

 HABITAT
    Unknown

 OCCUPATION
    Final Boss, Great King of Evil

 HEALTH
    Very High

 ATTACKS
    � Trident Swipe
    � Quad Splitter
    � Triple Shot
    � Ultra Blast
    � Shockwave
    � Vertigo Displacement
    � Single Shot

 STRATEGY
    Twinrova's own sacrifice only managed to summon a raging, mindless
 version of Ganon's previous cunning self. But that doesn't keep him
 from being an extremely dangerous foe in his own right.
    Ganon will warp in and out of sight in the room, performing one
 of his many attacks with each appearance.
    If he appears with his trident in hand, he will swipe it violently,
 towards Link, throwing himself quite far forward along with it.
    If he appears in the very middle of the room, he will charge four
 energy balls in his trident before sending them off roughly in the
 cardinal directions (north, east, south and west), with each ball
 immediately splitting into three.
    If he appears roughly before the middle of the north wall,
 he will charge up his Ultra Blast attack, but he will stomp the ground
 with a Shockwave beforehand, stunning Link (unless he jumps over it at
 just the right time), leaving him wide-open to the deadly, oversized
 energy ball that Ganon will unleash shortly after.
    Ganon's two other attacks involve shooting three large energy balls
 at Link, one forward and two sligthly angled. The other has Ganon
 distorting the room with a psychedelic, vertigo-inducing magic that
 reverses Link's Movement. During this time, Ganon will walk around
 shooting single energy balls at Link.
    Ganon may also try to trick Link by warping away instantly after
 appearing.

 HOW TO WIN
    Ganon is weak to the Spin Attack from the Wooden/Noble Sword,
 but with the Master Sword, Link can just use the regular slash.
 Ganon can only be harmed while he is physically present; not while warping.

    "It isn't the equiment that makes the hero."
    Well, that what they say anyway. But this is the gaming world:
 Link really is a sitting duck without his trusty arsenal of useful
 tools and weapons. This section is dedicated to one of the most important
 aspects of the zelda series: the items.

      the Iron Shield Shield can be bought in Lynna City Shop for the going
      price of 50 rupees. The opportunistic Deku Scrub in Deku Forest's
      north-west corner will sell Link one for a measly 20 rupees though.

 |         |
 +---------+

    Here, I will list all five kinds of seed and what they are useful for.
 
 
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        #   � Ember Seeds - Fire burns within.
      ## #
     # #  #
    #   rr #   � These seeds burst into flame upon breaking,
    #r rrrr#     making them very helpful in lighting up torches
    #rrrrrr#     and burning down small saplings that block Link's path.
     #r#rr#     They can also cause serious damage to enemies and make
      ####     excellent ammo for the Seed Shooter. Some enemies are
             even immune to everything but Ember Seeds.


   � Ember Seeds can be found growing on Ember Trees, and the only such tree
     grows just south of Lynna Village/City (in both Ages). They may also be
     found in pots or shrubs in certain areas.




       ##   � Myster Seeds - A producer of unknown effects.
      ####
      #  #
     ##  >#   � Mystery Seeds are mainly used to activate Owl Statues
    #>## >>#     who will then proceed to give Link useful information.
    #>  >>>#     Veran apparently despise these seeds, as her powers
     #>>>>#     seem to be negatively affected by them. When used as
      ####     ammo in the Seed Shooter, they will randomly have the
             effect of either of the four other seeds on enemies.


   � Mystery Seeds grown on Mystery Trees, one of which can be found
     in Deku Forest, and another on Rolling Ridge in the Past.




       ##   � Scent Seeds - Aroma therapy?
     ##,,##
     #  ,,#
    #,  ,,,#   � These small, hard seeds are the perfect ammo for
    #,,,,,,#     the seeds shooter. If thrown on the ground however,
     #,,,,#     they will crack open, wafting a mysterious odour that
     ##,,##     seems to attract certain enemies. In fact, enemies will
       ##     walk right into pitfalls to their doom if they get a
            whiff of their enticing smell.


    � These seeds grown on Scent Trees, one of which, thanks to Link planting
      the Scent Seedling there in the Past, grows on Crescent Island in the
      Present. Another Scent Tree grows in the garden of Queen Ambi's Palace
      in the Past.




     ######   � Gale Seeds - A windy trip.
    ########
    #''  ''#
    #'' '###   � When a Gale Seed cracks open, it releases a whirlwind which
    ##'  '##     Link can use to "warp" to a previously visited Seed Tree
     ###''#     of any type. If used on enemies, they will be blown
      #  #     off-screen.
       ##

    � They can be found growning on Gale Trees, one of which
      can be found in Symmetry Village in the Present. Another can
      be foundZora Seas in both Ages.




      ######   � Pegasus Seeds - Legendary speed.
     #  '''#
    # '#####
    #'#'''#   � These seeds allow Link to run faster for a few seconds,
    #'#''##     which also allows him to jump further with Roc's Feather.
    ## ###     If used on enemies, they will freeze in their tracks.
     # #
     ###
         � They grow on Pegasus Trees, and the only such tree can be
      found in the north-west corner in Rolling Ridge in the Past.

 +------------------------------+

    Here, I will list the three tunes that Link can learn to play over the
 course of his adventure.

      ##### ###   � Tune of Currents - Moves from past to present.
     ##,  ##,,##
    ##,,,, ##,,#
    #,####, ,,,#   � With the Tune of Currents, Link can travel from the Past
    ##,,  #,,,##     to the Present at will. However, he won't be able to
    #,,,,, ###,#     travel in time in the Black Tower area or in the ruins
    #,###,, ,,,#     in the Sea of No Return. If he ends up stuck in a solid
    ##,, #,,,,##     object while traveling through time, he will automatically

                 Link must play him the Tune of Echoes in order for him to
     find the inspiration to compose the final parts of the Tunes of Currents.




         ###   � Tune of Ages - Moves freely through time.

        # #  '#
      ###'# ''#   � With the Tune of Ages, Link can travel freely between
     # '''#'''##     the two Ages, making the other tunes obsolete. However,

    Quest Items serve some kind of practical/consistent purpose to Link,
 but, unlike Field Items, can only be used at the appropriate time.
 Some of them are eventually replaced by other items that fall under
 the same category, but others will remain in Link's inventory for the
 remainder of the game.

 |                                                       |
 | 7) Link can buy one for 500 rupees in the             |
 |    "Secret Shop" in Lynna City.                       |
 |                                                       |
 | 8) The next one is in a cave in the westernmost       |
 |    region of Rolling Ridge in the Present.            |
 |    Link can blast his way through the right-hand      |
 |    wall where it is cracked, opening the way to       |
 |    the piece.                                         |
 |                                                       |
 | 9) One more can be found in the north-eastern         |
 |    reaches of Rolling Ridge in the Present.           |
 |    Link can get to it with the help of the            |
 |    Tune of Currents.                                  |
 |                                                       |
 | 10) The next one can be found underneath Crescent     |
 |     Island in the Present. Link needs the Mermaid     |
 |     Suit in order to navigate the confusing           |
 |     under-water maze that eventually ends up          |
 |     in a cave where the Piece of Heart rests.         |
 |                                                       |
 | 11) Maple, the witch who roams Labrynna and whom      |
 |     Link can collide with, has one Piece of Heart     |
 |     which she might drop if Link is lucky.            |
 |     If she does, he must go for it as quickly as      |
 |     possible (maybe with the help of a Pegasus Seed)  |
 |     since Maple considers this precious item to       |
 |     be of top-priority.                               |
 |                                                       |
 | 12) One Piece of Heart may be found within a Gasha    |
 |     Nut if Link is lucky. The Gasha Ring might just   |
 |     increases the chances of it happening, but it     |
 |     is hard to prove since it is such a rare item     |
 |     regardless.                                       |
 |                                                       |

    Ah, the classic trading items for other items to be traded in turn.
 It happens to be one of my favorite aspects of the Zelda series.
 Once Link has aquired the Power Bracelet, he can embark on a lengthy,
 but fun, sidequest trading items he finds with other characters in
 Labrynna until he finally ends up with a well-deserved reward.

    Patch will let you try a harder version of his "ceremony" before
 he will repair the Broken Sword. Once you win, he will have restored
 the sword to its former glory. And with that, you have successfully
 completed the Trading-event.

    Now let's take a peek at all the Essences of Time that Link must collect
 over the course of his adventure in Labrynna. I will list the Essences with
 the name and description seen when Link first aquires them, not the ones on
 the Quest Subscreen. Note that the Bereft Peak is called "Lonely Peak" on
 the Quest Subscreen, probably due to some small, overlooked mistranslation
 by the producers...

 |  1) You, for reading my work. Wouldn't be any point in writing   |
 |     this if there weren't any readers like you in the world.     |
 |                                                                  |
 |  2) A pat on the shoulder for me, for writing this guide.        |
 |                                                                  |
 |  3) Flagship and Nintendo, for not one, but two fantastic        |
 |     entries in the zelda series.                                 |
 |                                                                  |
 |  4) CjayC, for letting me post my stuff on one of the            |
 |     greatest (if not _the_ greatest!) FAQ/Walkthrough            |
 |     sites on the web.                                            |
 |        http://www.gamefaqs.com                                   |

 |  5) Sponge91, for notifying me that there was a way to           |
 |     get Ricky's Flute in Oracle of Ages without having           |
 |     to play a linked game.                                       |
 |                                                                  |
 |  6) Wikipedia, for the names of the bosses GIANT GHINI           |
 |     and SMASHER.                                                 |
 |        http://www.wikipedia.org                                  |
 |                                                                  |
 |  7. Zelda Wikia, where I went to refresh my memory for the       |
 |     latest update.                                               |
 |        http://zelda.wikia.com/                                   |

 So, we've arrived at the end at last and my sack of thank-yous is empty.
 I have to admit, writing this guide wasn't always an enjoyable task,
 but the end result is finally worth it. Well, that's all I had to say
 so I shan't waste any more time, it is time for me to bid you all adieu.

 Fare thee well!
