#27 Water Dragon’s Lair
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Link is now in Lake Floria. He swims through a tunnel to an open area. A weird looking creature sees Link and says "Ahh! Another human!" It then backs away, and goes underwater. This odd looking creature is a "Parella", kind of like a cross between a jellyfish and a sea horse. Swim to the next area to see another one of these creatures. Swimming further Link runs into the first one he met. Its name is "Jellyf", and says, stop following or I will tell her Excellence. Jellyf slips through a boarded opening and thinks she is safe on the other side. Swim into the boards using the spin attack to break them. Jellyf is stunned. She sees Link’s Water Dragon’s Scale and thinks Link is an emissary of the Goddess. She thinks Link might be able to help the Water Dragon. Jellyf tells Link that a weirdo came in with monsters and went after her Excellence. In the ensuing battle she was injured. The Water Dragon is healing but needs more special water to make a full recovery. Link is asked to talk to the Water Dragon.
Follow Jellyf through the tunnel and spin to break a boarded up exit. She will stop to say her friend isn’t there and the path is blocked by a boulder. There are a few Froaks swimming around. Lure one of them near the boulder and spin into the Froak to cause it to explode. The boulder is gone. In this pool there are several caves blocked by boulders and one large pile of rocks at the center. Use the spin attack to hit Froaks to clear the boulders and rocks to collect Rupees. One is a Silver Rupee (100). Follow Jellyf to another area. On the other side of this area is a barred gate that Link can not get past by swimming. Go to the opposite side, turn and dive. Swim straight toward the gate and then head for the surface. Before reaching the surface do a spin attack. Link will fly out of the water and over the gate. I call this a spin/jump. Jellyf says the Water Dragon’s Scale made it possible. The other side of this new area has a narrow crevice that Link can not pass through. There is a ledge above the crevice. Do a spin/jump to reach it. To the left is a Bird Statue. In the center is another water chamber. Follow the path to the left a short distance and turn left again. Take this path to a large treasure chest that contains a "Goddess Plume". Go back to the main path and back to the Bird Statue. Follow the pathway between the two pools of water back and over the archway to find a Goddes Cube. Strike it with the charged sword to send its energy into the clouds. Now back to the Bird Statue and into the water.
Follow Jellyf through another tunnel to another chamber. A large fierce looking fish appears. Jellyf tells Link that this fish is one that the weirdo had brought with him. Do a couple of spin attacks and the fish is filleted. On the other side of this chamber is a locked door. Jellyf says, "At last, we’re here!" She uses the tip of her head like a key to open the lock. The doors then open. Swim through the doorway and Link emerges in the main chamber.
Go to the center of the chamber and climb onto the platform. In the center of the platform is a carved stone vessel shaped like an egg. Inside is "Faron", the Water Dragon. Talk to her. She tells Link that he has intruded into her home, where few are permitted. She tells Link to explain how he got there and to do it quickly. She sees that Link has one of her Water Scales. Faron says, that a sacred gift, like the scale, could only be carried by the chosen hero. She questions if Link is the one.
Link tells her of the hermit Kikwi, Yerbal. Faron says, the next time she sees him, he’s dinner. She asks if Link is seeking the Sacred Flame. She feels a test is in order. Faron tells Link that Ghirahim attacked her and that she was wounded. She is recuperating in the vessel of Sacred Water". But the water’s properties have diminished. She asks Link to bring her a fresh container of Sacred Water. Do this and she will show Link the way to the Sacred Flame. Fi appears and gives Link the ability to dowse for this water.
Leave the Water Dragon’s platform and spin jump to the ledge on the left side of the chamber. Turn left and follow the path to a large treasure chest containing a Silver Rupee. Turn around and follow the path back to its end and leap to the ledge in front of Link. Follow this pathway to the right to its end to find another large treasure chest containing an Evil Crystal. Turn around and follow this pathway back to its end and turn right to leave this chamber.
Upon exiting the Water Dragon’s chamber Link beholds a beautiful grotto fed by a high waterfall. Before Link, is a pathway leading to the middle of the grotto. Just beyond the waterfall is the entrance to a temple. Turn to the left to see Blue Butterflies. Equip the Goddess Harp and strum. A Gossip Stone will appear. Talk to the Gossip Stone and it will tell Link;
"They say drawing a symbol
of love upon certain walls
will heal your wounds."
Looking toward the waterfall, walk past the medallion and down the steps. Turn and look to the left. On the ledge to the left of the tree is a Gold Rupee. Equip the Hook Beetle to retrieve it. Turn around and look to the left of the tunnel Link entered from. High on the ledge is a Goddess Cube.
Go back up the steps, turn left and head for the Faron Woods.
