Exploring the Village in Search of Insects

Leave the house and climb up the slope. Jump on top of the roof of the in to gain access to the inside. There is a wooden stick on the ground of the bottom floor. Grab the stick and jump on the table to reach the flame and light the stick. Light the chimney fire and an insect will crawl out. Using your senses, seek and destroy the insect and grab tear. There are two enemies to defeat in the adjacent room. Take these guys out and go up to the second floor.

In the small room there is another insect you can view with your senses. Wipe out the insect and head to the first floor. You can exit the house by climbing on the shelves to access the exit.

At the end of the road there is the last house, which is a bomb shop. Jump on top of the run down house on the right to look into the bomb shop. You’ll notice a broken window and you have a plan. Jump through the window and it will shatter to let you inside. Activate your senses and go upstairs. There is a cupboard on the wall that is ripe for the ramming. After hitting the cupboard, an insect will appear and you know the drill. Climb up the shelves and exit the window where you’ll find yourself on the roof. Climb these stairs to access another slope.

Spider Bombing

Cross the footbridge and be prepared for it to collapse after your crossing. Jump down and roll into the totem pole to knock down the cage, freeing the monkey. Two creatures will come after you with bad intent, make short work of these punks. There is a chest underneath the footbridge that contains a yellow rupee. Follow that monkey up the wooden pathway and use the swinging trick to cross the gap where the bridge fell. Go back to the main room that has a bunch of doors. The monkeys will swing you to a new room where you’ll need to burn down a spider web to enter.

 Go up the stairs and to the left to find another spider who moonlights as a bomb factory. Slash it once and pick up the bomb and carry it to the right. Drop the bomb on the plant below the gap to make it blow up. Head back to the spider and fancy you another bomb. Grab the bomb and carry it as you run and jump across the gap. Throw the bomb at the boulder on the ledge to make it explode. There will be a door here to enter. This ground may have once served as a secret monkey training facility as there is another caged monkey in this room.

More Monkey Business

Head towards the first room straight ahead and climb the vines to your left. At the top you’ll find a chest where you can grab a yellow rupee. At the back of the room, your favorite animal the monkey will need to be freed from the cage. While you’re there, you might as well shoot down the two spiders on the vines behind and follow the monkey up the vines.

Proceed through the gate and around the stairway to slash the spider on the left. You might notice that the spider turned into a bomb; take the spider bomb and throw it at the cracked wall. There will be a chest behind the wall containing a red rupee. Go ahead and grab that.

The huge spider will need to be slashed before you can head up the stairway. Light the four torches using your lantern which will make the platform rise. There will be a chest to the left of the door containing a map. Grab the map and go through the door. I’m not sure why you keep freeing the monkey because now he took down the bridge, seemingly your only path around.

Does the monkey have bad pictures of you or something? Go back inside and find another way around. Follow the monkey and jump towards her to swing to another door. You’ve got to press the A button at the right time to jump and go through the door.

While in this room, head right and slash another spider which will turn into a bomb. The bomb will explode, revealing a secret alcove. Smash open the jars and obtain the Ooccoo. Head back and left and burn down the spider web with the lantern. Go straight, across platforms and through the door. Now go across the spinning bridge and proceed through the door ahead.

The chest on the right will contain a small key which you should grab. Return to two rooms ago and ready your slingshot. Shoot down the spider and cross the gap on the right. Unlock the door and head into a new room, with your lock there is probably a caged monkey in there.

Monkey Help and New Skills

Take your lantern out but be prepared for the monkey from earlier to snag it from you. Tail the monkey but you’ve got to keep close through the mist. Maybe her attitude will change as you get rid of enemies for her.

The monkey is going to drop the lantern at the end of the path so remember to pick it up. Maybe she was being contrite or maybe that was her way of helping out, either way you’re through the fog.  Follow the path to the left and go to Trill’s shop. If you didn’t buy the second oil bottle for your lantern earlier, you’ll need to purchase some now.

Run up and head towards the temple where a wolf will stop you. The wolf will send you to a world above where you will have a chance to learn some new skills. Follow the instructions and you will have knowledge of the Ending Blow. Head up the path when you are back in the woods and burn the spider web with your lantern. Welcome to Forest Temple

The Final Tears

Use little Midna and jump across the tree trunks in the water. Cross through the branches and go towards the top. There is going to be a swinging log on your path so you may want to avoid that. At the entrance of the cave down on the ground, two more insects are waiting for you but they think they are sneaky.

Activate wolf senses to locate the insects that are underground. Dig over to them and eliminate them, collecting the tears. Make your way into the cave for some fun filled shadow creature fighting. Beat them the same way as previously. If you remember where you found the monkey earlier, head down that same path and guess what? Insects! Defeat the final two and you will have acquired all the tears.

After collecting all the tears, original form Link is back in his own world. Make your way through the path and you will see that somehow the cave has been locked. Take the path you took earlier to find the lantern man, chat him up again and this time he will present to you a small key. The Oil Bottle can be purchased if you have 100 rupees with you. Take the key and head back to unlock the gate. Proceed through the cave and into the swamp.
