3.11 - Getting the Cannon
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We want to get to that crest, but first we need some weapons. From now on there
are going to be enemies in the water. How will we fight them without weapons?
Plot a course to the island southwest of the island we just left. This island
is very small, but there's still some stuff to do here. Head up the stairs and
you'll be greeted by a little winged guy in a toga. It's the mailman! After he
flies off, head into the building. Talk to the orange haired man and he'll open
the gate for you. Head back outside and through the gate.
Follow the path along, killing the chuchus along the way. I hope you've been
collecting rupees and not just ingoring them, as you'll need some soon. I had
about 140 at this point, but you don't need that many. Once you head up the
little stairs, follow the path down and you'll notice some bees buzzing around
the trees. They can actually hurt you so head south past the first intersection
and you'll eventually reach a cave. In the cave you'll see some bomb plants.
Pick one up and toss it at the boilders blocking your path. In the next room,
there's a boulder blocking, well, a block. So go back and grab another bomb
plant, run back over here and toss it over the fence. Now you can push the
block out of the way. Before we leave, head back and grab one more bomb. This
time, run all the way to the right, very quickly, and toss it at the crack in
the wall. There's a chest with a red tear shaped crest.
Go back over to the fence and head up. Push the first block down all the way.
When it stops, go around the left side of it and pull to the left. Now go up
and pull the 2nd block upward. You can now enter the top area. Oh, but there's
a boulder in the way. Go back down and grab the bomb plant. Run back up and
toss it at the boulder. Head up the stairs. Once outside, use any of the bomb
plants on the boulders. Down the road there'll be two more. Do the same. In
this next section, grab a bomb plant, drop down off the ledge to the north and
chuck the bomb at the boulders blocking the path. Run back around back up to
where you just were by heading right, down, and then left up the stairs. Once
you're standing at the top of the ledge again, take the one bomb plant that is
kind of by itself, drop down off the ledge to the north again, and this time
run to the right through where the boulders had just been. Quickly toss it
over the fence and blow up the 3 rocks on the other side. You should barely
be able to make it. Now head left, up, and then right to enter the path you
just opened. Enter the strange looking building.
There's a man in bandages. Select the first option he gives you. Then select
the first option again and you get the Cannon! It costs some rupees though, so
say bye bye to some of your cash. Exit this building via the left door and
you're back in the gatekeepers house. We have a cannon now, so head back to
your ship. The mailman stops you on your way. He asks for your signature, so
give it to him. The left button is OK, the right button is Start Over. Talk to
the pirate and choose the first option to leave.
