Ahead are five "Red Bokoblins" harassing, the "Goron", "Gorko". Defeat the Bokoblins using a combination of attacks. The best is the spin attack. Gorko will thank Link and tell him that it has been a weird day. He will say that he saw another like Link and he will tell him that he is "researching the ancient history of the woods". He goes on to say that ancient texts tell of the "Isle of the Goddess" far up in the sky and that the statue next to him, and others like it, serve as landmarks for those from the sky. Suddenly the statue lights up. Gorko notices that it reacted when Link got close to it.
This statue allows Link to return to the sky, using the Sailcloth, where he will land on his Loftwing above the clouds. Then, to return to the surface, fly into the beam of light as before. When returning to the surface Link may choose the specific location to land provided the Bird Statue was activated. Returning to the statue at the surface, turn to the right and climb the vine-covered wall. Follow the path through the tunnel and push the large wood log over the ledge, which reveals a shortcut to the sealed grounds. Return through the tunnel to the statue and follow the path through the open gate. Ahead is a large wood log, push it forward to gain access to the ledge above. Continue down the path.

Fi appears and tells Link that he has entered the Faron Woods. She tells him that Zelda is likely in the area and to continue using the dowsing ability to search for her.

Continue down the path to a small crevasse, leap on to the rope and swing across. Ahead are two Red Bokoblins harassing a "Kikwi". The Kikwi peeks around, looks up to see Link and states "now there is a green one". He runs off.
Fi appears and comments on an interesting spike in the dowsing reading on the creature Link just encountered. Fi also tells Link that Kikwis are highly intelligent beings. She suggests that Link follow the creature.
Follow the path up the hill to a ledge. The Kikwi will be in the meadow below. It will turn and look at Link, show surprise and hide behind a large mushroom to the left. Do a dash roll into the mushroom. The Kikwi will become startled and run to another mushroom on the other side of the path. Again do a dash roll into the mushroom; the Kikwi will become startled and run away again. It will be hiding behind a tree, at the end of the path, on an island of grass. The Kikwi tells Link its name is Machi, and thanks Link for defeating the Red Bokoblins. Machi then tells Link he ran into another "funny animal" like Link but it was a girl. Zelda! Machi mentions that Zelda was attacked by the Red Bokoblins but was able to escape with the help of a Kikwi elder.
Fi appears and says she has new information on Zelda’s current status. Fi has marked on the map the position of the Kikwi. Fi suggests that Link continue searching for Zelda.
Machi asks Link to tell the elder that he is safe. Continuing forward, push the large wood log over the ledge to create a shortcut to the path leading from the Temple. Turn around and backtrack the path a short distance, look to the left and climb two ledges, then a log to another ledge.
Note: to the right of the first ledge is a cave entrance, blocked by boulders. Return here when Link has bombs. Inside is a piece of heart.
Ahead is an "Octorok (Grass)". Avoid it and go past the upper ledge on the left and drop down to the large log. Roll it down to create another shortcut. Go back and climb the upper ledge Link had just ran past, then another ledge, and then drop down a hole in the ground to the left of the tree, near the brick wall to the right. Follow the path to the left where Link will see a tree and two bushes. Look at the bush to the right, pick it up, to find that it is a Kikwi named "Oolo". He asks Link to tell the elder that he is here. Fi appears and tells Link that she has marked the location of Oolo on the map. To the left of the brick wall, drop down to Machi’s location. Again climb the two ledges, a log and another ledge leading to the Octorok. Turn right, go a short distance up the ramp to a ridge. Turn left, and follow the ridge to a tightrope that leads to a new piece of heart. Drop down to the water below and onto the land.
Note: there is a cave under the water. Return here when Link has the ability to dive.
Also, the slender trees with a glowing section yield Rupees when struck with Link’s sword. Defeat any nearby Red Bokoblins. Flying overhead is a "Guay". Stay clear of it, because it likes to poop on Link’s head. Follow the path through the archway and defeat the Red Bokoblins. Roll the log on the right over the ledge to create another shortcut. Continue up the path.
There will be a gate on the right that is "sealed shut". Follow the path as it circles to the left down to a rope hanging from a limb and tied to a shrub. Cut the rope with the sword; leap from the ledge to the rope and swing across. Talk to the elder Kikwi "Bucha". Link will ask him of Zelda and he tells Link he is very concerned about his people with so many monsters around and his memory of Zelda is hazy. He is happy to hear that Machi and Oolo are safe. He asks Link to search for two of his other tribesmen and make sure they are safe.
Fi appears and shows concern that Zelda is no longer with the elder Kikwi and suggests that Link find the lost Kikwis. She has added Kikwis as a dowsing option.
At the base of the large tree is an opening. Go through the opening to a vine covered wall, which leads to a tightrope. Cross over to the next ledge and drop on to the meadow below. As Link approaches, the Red Bokoblin calls for reinforcements. Four more arrive. Defeat them all and one of the missing Kikwi will call out to Link from a limb above. He thinks Link is a good guy and asks if Link could help him down. Do a roll dash to knock the Kikwi out of the tree. He thanks Link and gives his name as "Lopsa", while Fi marks his location. Use the rope to swing to the ledge behind Lopsa. Push the log over the ledge to create another shortcut. To the left is a treasure chest on a ledge at the base of a very large tree. To the right are several ramps leading to a statue on an observation platform. Drop down and cross the valley below and turn left. Walk toward the narrow pathway and climb the rock formation to the right. Now climb the vine-covered wall to the ledge above. The other lost Kikwi is hiding among the grass. Using the sword cut all the grass to expose him. He tells Link his name is "Erla" and to tell the elder he is safe.
Note: there is a cave entrance blocked by boulders. Return here when Link is able to carry bombs.
Return to the elder and tell him that the other two Kikwis have been found. The elder Kikwi thanks Link and suddenly remembers where Zelda went. He tells Link that she had to travel to the temple deep within these woods. As a reward for finding his other tribesmen he gives Link the "slingshot" and a pouch of "Deku Seeds". Now return to the valley and go to the observation platform. At the base of the steps of the observation platform are two monuments. Directly above is a coiled vine. Shoot it with the slingshot and use the vine to swing to the ledge ahead of Link. Move forward.

Fi tells Link that he has entered a new area called the "Deep Woods". And that Link should continue toward the temple.
