ITEMS TO GET: Magic Beans, Spring Water, Sonata of Awakening, Song of Soaring

    After being dropped off by the boat tour, turn into Deku Link to gain entrance into the palace. Take the first hallway on the right and avoid the scrubs who patrol the garden, eventually making your way down a hole. Inside you'll find a man who sells magic beans; buy a few and get a bottleful of spring water while underground. You can also avoid the guards on the left garden path to find a heart piece. Enter the central chamber and listen to the king rant, then speak with the trapped monkey through the bars and go back outside the palace.

    Once you have magic beans and water, take the series of lily pads that lead right from outside the palace guards. Plant the seeds in the tan square of soft ground at the end of the pads, then water the new sprout and ride the large plant up to a secret path into the castle. Follow the path to a Deku flower, flying your way across the moving platforms above the sections of garden you snuck through earlier. When finished, you'll find yourself dropping down next to the kidnapped monkey.

    You can't cut his ropes, so he'll teach you the Sonata of Awakening instead. After following his notes as Deku Link, you'll get thrown out of the palace completely. Armed with your new song, head for the "Woodfall Shortcut," which is located across from the palance entrance and branches from the same lily pads which led to the secret path. Go through the tunnel, then fly across the obscenely large plants until you reach the ledge with the giant owl.

    Listen to him to learn the Song of Soaring, allowing you to warp between owl statues at will or warp back to the beginning of a dungeon from inside. After you've learned the song, fly across the waterfall to the ledge with the doorway into Woodfall.
