The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword - The Deep Woods

Moving forward another Red Bokoblin will see Link and call for reinforcements. Defeat them. Look at the tree to the left. It has a hornet’s nest hanging from it. If Link gets close, the hornets will attack. Shoot the nest with the slingshot. Continue on the path to the right to find another tightrope. Before crossing, use the slingshot to break the hornet’s nest hanging above it. On the other side climb the ledge to the left and follow the path to a large log. Push it over the ledge to create a new shortcut around the tightrope. Return to the path and continue forward and defeat the Octorok, using the slingshot to stun it and a forward thrust to destroy it. Turn to the right and leap onto the thin ledge above, moving hand over hand to the next ledge leading to a tightrope. Across the way is a Red Bokoblin. Shoot him with the slingshot, he will be stunned for a short time and he will then start to cross the tightrope. While he is crossing, shoot him again and he will fall off. Cross to the next ledge on the tightrope and go up the steps.

Note: On the tree in front of Link is an insect. Return when Link has the bug net.

Continue down the path and use the hanging rope to swing to the ledge across the way. Move forward and turn left to find a treasure chest to the left of the tree. It contains a Red Rupee. Back to the path and defeat the "Quadro Baba". It changes mouth openings from horizontal to vertical and back, every few seconds. Shoot it with the slingshot to stun it, then attack with the sword to destroy it. Continue on the path and talk to the Goron that is ahead. He will ask Link to help him do something. He then turns to look at a decorative block he calls a "Goddess Cube". The Goron tells Link the ancient text states:

"Summon forth the light from a heavenly blade, and may that sword’s master receive aid".

Walk up to the Goddes Cube, raise the sword and unleash the charged power. The cube will glow for a few seconds, and then disappear with a bright light rising into the sky. The Goron goes on to say there are cubes like that one "all over this land". Talk to the Goron again and ask about the temple. He will tell Link that the story tells of a visitor from the sky that will one day be received in the "Skyview Temple". The Goron also talks about a stone marker with writing that may be the key to getting inside. To the right is a large log, roll it over the ledge to create a shortcut. Turn to the left, then drop down and follow the path/ledges to the entrance of the temple.

Fi will appear and will tell Link that she has detected Zelda’s aura in the temple. She also detects numerous monsters and feels it is unwise to continue on without being properly equipped.

Note: To the left of the entrance and past the tree is a patch of grass with two insects.

To the right of the temple entrance and behind a tree is a stone marker that reads:

"He who descended from above:

Look to the star that the bird

Rising heavenward gazes upon,

And aim your shot there."

Go to the statue at the entrance and choose "return to the sky".

Fi will appear and she will tell Link that she sensed an energy reaction from the energy released from the Goddess Cube and it is marked on his map, "Pumpkin Landing". Fi advises Link to investigate.

Back at Skyloft, ring Beedle’s chimes with the slingshot. He will lower a rope for Link to climb up. Go inside and Beetle will greet Link. Stand in front of the bug net to make the purchase for 50 Rupees. Then move to the extra wallet, which will allow Link to carry 300 extra Rupees, for the purchase price of 100 Rupees. Drop down and go into the Bazaar. Fill the bottles with potion and replace the shield if needed, 50 Rupees. From the Gear Peddler buy "the small seed satchel" for 100 Rupees. It allows Link to carry ten more Deku Seeds.

Back in the air, head for Pumpkin Landing to investigate the energy reaction. Go to the treasure chest to the right of the front door of the Lumpy Pumpkin rest stop. It will be aglow. Open the chest to find that Link’s adventure pouch has been enlarged to hold one additional item. Return to the entrance of the Skyview Temple and activate the Goddes Cube due south of the entrance at the ledge. Standing in front of the entry doors to the temple, look up to see a Red gemstone. Shoot it with the slingshot.
