Exit the cave where the Mermaid’s Cave is located and swim ashore at Rolling Ridge Base. Take out the Seed Satchel and use a Gale Seed to warp to the South Shore of Lynna Village. Head up two and left one screen, then climb the steps above and continue up one and left one more screen. Ralph, who also caught word of Ambi leaving her palace, will be here attempting to save Nayru yet again. After he runs off towards the palace, follow him up two screens into the palace grounds.
While Queen Ambi may have left, the palace is still heavily guarded by her knights. Four buttons in each corner of the palace grounds must be pressed to open a secret passage under and into the palace, though each area will be heavily guarded. If Link is seen by a guard, he will be thrown out of the palace grounds though any buttons that have been pressed will remain so.
Start by heading left one screen. Swipe the Scent Seeds down from the tree and continue down one screen from there. Let the guards walk around the left side of the central bush growing so they won’t see Link step on the button in the lower-right corner. Doing so will move one of the statues blocking the hidden passage.
Head up two screens to the next button. Stand beside the rightmost vertical wall, also beside the middle wall at the bottom, until the guards pass to the lower section of the screen. When they do, head up and step on the button to move the next Ambi statue.
Go right two screens next. Quickly run along the upper path towards the button and step on it, avoiding the guards in the process and moving the third Ambi statue, then head down two screens to the final area. Simply walk straight down here and over to the button as the guards will not look Link’s way for a moment. Once the final statue has been moved, head back up one screen and slash the bushes on the right to uncover the passage and enter it.
Jump into the water on the right and dive down. Swim left two screens while avoiding the whirlpools and resurface in the lighter colored area at the end. Walk up the staircase from the small cave and Link will be inside Queen Ambi’s Palace. Though there will be guards inside the palace who will see Link, they will attempt to attack him instead of throwing him out. If this happens, simply slash away at them with Link’s sword until they retreat.
From the staircase, push the first block in the horizontal row “down” to get outside of the blocks and head right and up one screen each. Open the chest in this room to obtain a Magical Ring that will appraise as the Gold Luck Ring, cutting the damage taken from falls in half. Exit this room down one screen, then head left two screens. Up one screen from here is a room with two Fairies if needed. Head up the staircase to the upper level once getting passed the guards.
Continue right two screens passed an array of guards and up one into the room where Veran is located. After a few words, a fight will ensue between Link and Veran. Because Veran still has control of Nayru’s body, attacking her will take some process to assure Nayru herself isn’t damaged. Veran will teleport about the room and end up next to one of the statues. Follow her until she starts to attack, shooting multiple orbs out in a circle throughout the room. When she stops to attack, shoot her with a Mystery Seed from the Seed Shooter. Veran’s essence will lift out of Nayru’s body for a moment, enough time to use the Switch Hook on her, moving her away from Nayru’s body. Veran will form into her human form at this point, making her vulnerable to an attack from Link’s sword. After three successful hits on Veran, the battle will be over.
Queen Ambi will return after the fight and realize a difference in the Oracle of Ages. Veran, apparently out-of-sight, will rush in after a few words from Nayru and take over Queen Ambi’s body. Shortly after Ralph shows up, Veran will call Ambi’s guards on the group. Nayru will use her powers to transport everyone back to the Maku Tree’s area in the present, safe and sound.
With the Oracle of Ages now safe from Veran’s influence, many problems across Labrynna will be shown returning to normal. Nayru will then teach Link the Tune of Time, allowing him to travel from past to present, or vice-versa, from any location. Right after, a mysterious old woman will appear, revealing that saving Nayru did nothing to prevent the sorrow that had befallen the land of Labrynna, suggesting that this was the very goal of Veran from the start. Once the woman vanishes, Ralph will run off to return to the past and investigate, Nayru will retreat back to her house, and the Maku Tree will reveal the next Essence is echoing from “inside a fish”…
Walk into the Maku Tree and climb to the very top, where many bushes are now open as a result of Link’s progress thus far. The bush straight ahead in back has a Great Fairy Fountain if ever needed. Walk right one screen and grab the Gasha Seed laying here, then head back left two screens to the other side of the tree to find another Gasha Seed. Head back down the Maku Tree when finished and exit her area down one screen.
By this point, Link should have encountered Maple since getting the Touching Book in Chapter 5 and now have the Magic Oar in his possesion. With the Oar in hand, head down two, left one, and down two more screens. Swim over to the steps on the left and continue down two more screens along the path. Take out the Harp of Ages and play the newly aquired Tune of Time to teleport Link to the past.
~ Past ~
Walk into Rafton’s place and head right a screen. Talk to him and he will reveal his wish to enter a raft race but doesn’t have a decent oar to do so. Give Rafton the Magic Oar, to which he will trade Link the Sea Ukulele.
Exit Rafton’s place when finished and use a Gale Seed to warp to eastern Rolling Ridge. Jump off the ledge below, down one screen, then continue down another screen and jump into the water. Swim left three screens and down one and enter the small cave on the left, which is actually the house of the Elderly Zora. Give the Elderly Zora the Sea Ukulele which helps ease his longing for the sound and smell of the sea. In return, the Elderly Zora will give Link a Broken Sword, calling it a “Hero’s Sword” which was given to his people long ago. While there isn’t much use in a sword that’s broke, Link luckily happens to know a man who can fix broken things. Exit the Elderly Zora’s house when finished here.
Outside, use a Gale Seed and warp to Lynna Village, then head up one and left five screens into the base of the Talus Peaks area. Jump over the holes above and head up one screen, then stand close to the western wall which is noticably indented a little bit and play the Tune of Time. Link will teleport to the present, next to the Happy Mask Shop. Here, walk over and stand in front of the Shop and play the Tune of Time again to go back to the past. Link will now be on the ledge just below Restoration Wall.
Walk down one screen and play the Tune of Time again. Open the chest here to obtain a Gasha Seed, then step back into the time portal and head back to the past. Head up one screen, climb the vines up Restoration Wall three more screens up, then enter Patch’s house at the top. Speak with Patch to participate in his ceremony again, this time to fix the Broken Sword. This second time around, the ceremony will be more difficult by having two waves of enemies to knock into the pits rather than just one. When the cart comes close to running into the sword, stand on the button in the room to alter the tracks so that the cart circles around again, giving Link plenty of time to take out both waves of enemies.
For a decent strategy here, stand to the right of the pit in the upper-left and continuously jump using the Roc’s Feather. The enemies will all crowd together and not be able to knock Link into the pit at the same time, so once they are all in one bunch Link can jump to the other side of them and knock all down at once.
Once the ceremony is complete, the Broken Sword will be fixed and become the Noble Sword! This sword does twice the damage to enemies as the L-1 sword, can shoot sword beams when Link is at full health, and can smash vases. Leave Patch’s house when finished and use a Gale Seed to warp to Lynna Village.
Walk down one screen and enter the water, then swim down three screens and right one. Continue swimming down along this path for two screens until reaching the end, then dive down. Swim to the end of the path underwater and resurface, now in front of the cave opening. Enter the cave and swim around to the right side, where a Tokay can be found holding a shield. Walk up and speak with the Tokay and he will give Link the L-2 Iron Shield!
Swim back out of the cave and dive down. Follow the path underwater up two screens and left one, then continue up three and resurface. On shore, play the Tune of Time to travel to the present.
~ Present ~Head down the steps and down one screen to the shore. Enter the water and swim right four screens, then dive down and swim down one screen through the narrow path into an underwater maze. Continue down three screens, then left, down, and left one screen each and finally up two screens to reach a cave. Inside this cave, open the chest to obtain Piece of Heart #10! Swim back out of the cave and backtrack opposite the way in, then resurface and head west until reaching the shore.
Link will need a Magic Potion in this section. If Link doesn’t already have one, either by running into Maple or purchasing one at some point, head up two and right one screen from the shore into the Forest of Time. From there, continue up another screen and right one into Yoll Graveyard. Head right, up, and right one screen each to reach Syrup’s Potion Shop, where a Magic Potion can be purchased for a hefty 300 Rupees.
Exit the shop, then use a Gale Seed to warp to the South Shore of Lynna City. Head down two screens, then down another along the coast to the left of the water. Enter the water from the bottom of this coast and swim left two, down two, and left one screen. Stand in front of the house on the small isle here and play the Tune of Time to transport Link to the past, where the landscape was noticably further east.

Re-enter the Eyeglass Library from this time period and head to the back room. Place the Book of Seals on the green pedestal and read it, revealing a directions to take to the next book in the room. The book must be open in order for the path directed to actually be present in the room. Using the Cane of Somaria, Link can push a block along this path until it eventually falls into a bottomless pit, revealing where he should no longer step.

* Mini-Boss: Angler Fish *
Angler Fish will bounce up and down throughout the room shooting bubbles towards Link. Contact with Angler Fish or one of these bubbles will do damage to Link, though avoiding either is fairly simple here. Often, the bubbles can be slashed to obtain Scent Seeds, which can be shot at Angler Fish from the Seed Shooter to make him deflate and land helpless on the floor for a moment. The boss can be damaged by slashing the orb on its head, whether he is deflated or not. The easiest method to defeating Angler Fish is to shoot him with a Scent Seed and slash at him repeatedly, then repeating the process as soon as he inflates again.
After defeating the mini-boss, head up the ladder that appears on the right to resurface on the first floor, room A4.

Using the Long Hook on Plasmarine switches places with it while also changing its color (blue to red or red to blue), which must be done in order to have the boss land in the path of its own orb. While red, only blue orbs can hurt Plasmarine and vice-versa. Continue to bait Plasmarine into its own attacks until it is defeated.

The Maku Tree will then speak to Link, admitting that she cannot hear the echo of the final Essence but knows it must be somewhere in Labrynna…
