-- GOING TO THE SKULL DUNGEON --

Let's just go straight to the next dungeon, shall we? But to get to the next dungeon, you'll need to pass through the Light World. Use the Magic

Mirror to go to the Light World, then use the flute to go to Kakariko Village (map point #3). Now go into the Lost Woods through the north- west corner of the village. When you enter the Lost Woods, immediately go right and south out of the Woods. You should come to an area blocked off by a fence. Use your hammer to smash the pegs into the ground. Then pick up the rock to reveal a transporter! Enter the Dark World...

Go north into the Dark World version of the Lost Woods. Follow the path right. When you reach the 3 skulls CONTINUE going right. Then go north and fall into the hole to enter the 3rd dungeon of the Dark World: The Skull Dungeon.

-- THE SKULL DUNGEON --

[NOTE: In many places of the dungeon, a hand will drop down from the ceiling and try to grab you. If you get caught, the hand will bring you back to the place where you entered the dungeon. This can really be a pain in the ass, so try extra hard to avoid that hand!]

>From the place where you land, go south. Toss away the three skull- pots

and open the chest to recieve a small key. Now head for the upper-right corner of the room and go straight through the locked door. Get rid of the hardhat beetle by pushing him with your sword into one of the pits. Step on the star symbol to rearrange the pits, then open the chest to get the dungeon map. Go into the door at the left, then go south to the outside.

Just north of where you come out, there's a 3x3 square of bushes. Cut them down and drop into the hole in the center.

You'll land in the center of a circle of pots. Toss them away (and kill that Helmasaur too). Step on the star symbol once to rearrange the pits.

Blow open the crack on the left wall with a bomb. Go inside. Just pull the switch here and...kablam! The entire south wall blows up! Go south to reach the big chest (can't open it yet, you don't have the big key). Use the hookshot over the pits to reach the other side. Then go outside
