When the dust settled, I climbed off the rubble. I wasn't too banged up, especially for falling off a crumbling bridge. I looked up at where I fell. It doesn't look like there was any way to climb back up. I lit another bomb and blew up what was left of the bridge. At least there would be more room here. I stood back and watched the bomb explode. When the dust settled again, that's when something happened. A skeleton that was buried underneath the rubble started assembling itself and drew a sword and a shield.
"Fine then, I'm not going anywhere." I said as I drew my own sword and shield. I waited as the skeleton waved its sword. We circled around the room, while I went for the first attack. My sword clanged against its shield, and I blocked its attack. Obviously we'll get nowhere from direct attacks. I just have to dodge its attacks, and do a counter attack of my own. I kept blocking the attacks and I jumped back. When it leapt up, I jabbed the Master Sword into its ribcage, and it fell apart.
"That's it? I thought that it would put up a better fight. Whatever, I guess it's because I have to climb out of here somehow." I turned back to the wall. There were some vines hanging down from a tree on the doorframe. I could probably climb those to get to the top. I wasn't eager to start climbing again. I suddenly heard a noise behind me. The skeleton had reassembled itself and started attacking. I quickly brought out my shield and blocked the sword. After that, I attacked again, but it only blocked it with its shield. I remembered to wait this time, and I blocked the skeleton's next attack, and slashed its spine apart. It crumbled to the ground. "This time, I'm going to make sure you stay down!" I lit a bomb and dropped it on the remains. I stood back and watched the bomb explode. Sure enough, there was nothing left of the skeleton.
As that happened, a fence of wood started to move aside, revealing a strong looking chest. I ignored the fact that I didn't notice it earlier, and I opened the chest. Inside was an odd contraption. There was a pointed piece of metal on the end, connected to a chain that wrapped around the invention, and on the end, a metal covering an area where I would grab it. I decided to give it a shot. I felt around in the handhold, and I felt a button where my thumb went. I clicked it with my thumb and a red laser pointer came out and shone on the wall where I pointed it. I let go of the button and the chain went shooting out of the device, and it came back after it hit the wall. I was amazed by this device. I found the Hookshot! I always loved this thing!
I decided to aim it out of the hole I was in currently. It'll save me the trouble of climbing out. I clicked the button and aimed for a tree at the top of the door frame. I let go of the button, and the chain shot out at the tree and stuck fast. I was caught off guard by the speed that it came back, so the hookshot went flying out of my hand. It then fell off the tree and onto the high ledge. I expressed my obvious anger and frustration as I shouted loudly, and facepalmed. "As if it wasn't obvious that I'd have my work cut out for me!" I furiously started climbing up the vines on the wall on the side of the hole. After I vented all my anger into exhaustion, I carefully shimmied over to the broken bridge and reclaimed the hookshot. I grabbed it again and aimed for the other side of the bridge. "Better hold on tightly this time, I really don't want to lose it." I clicked the button, and aimed for the big tree in the wall. I let go of the button, and the chain went flying. As the chain hooked on, the device violently tugged on my arm, and I went flying across the gap, almost instantly, and just as fast, I flew into the tree.
As I got up, I felt relieved that I did it right, but I would now just have to get used to it. I looked to the sides, and there were staircases going up on both sides of the room. The door atop the one on my right was locked, so I went up to the left. In this room was a singular block in a field of grass, and a small pool behind it with the poisoned water. High up on the roof was a vine hanging down from the roof, and on the bottom was something shiny. I looked closely at it, and it was the key. I walked underneath it, and saw that it was too high for me to reach it. I got my boomerang out, and cut the vine holding the key. It fell into the grass, only for the vine to climb down and reattach itself. The key was still dangling to the vine. This time, I stood underneath the vine and cut it with my boomerang. I caught the vine. As I tried to untie the vine and free the key, the vine whipped me, and reattached itself. I looked up and scowled at the hanging vine. I started pushing the block through the grass and stopped directly underneath the vine. When I cut the vine it fell onto the block. I climbed onto the block and untied the vine, and grabbed the key. I threw the vine back onto the grass, and it reattached itself. I left the room and I walked up the other staircase to the other door. I unlocked the door, and the chains fell off. When I opened this door, the room was flooded with the poisoned water.
"I'd better climb out of here." Around this room was a crumbling staircase. "That's my way out!" I started up the stairs and jumped to the next point. More of the Deku Babas sprouted from the roof to stop my progress. Of course, with a throw of my boomerang, they fell into the water, and burst purple dust. I barely made the next jump. As I climbed onto the broken section, I noticed the next section was way too far for me to jump. "It's no problem for my handy new hookshot!" I fired the hookshot at a convienient target with a white target painted on it. I went flying toward the target, and onto the balcony at the top of the room. I ran over to a door at the end of the balcony. Behind the door was a hallway draped in vines. At the end of the hall was a door. I walked down the hall and into the next room.
In this room was a sort of seesaw, with the water flowing down on one end, and flowing out of the room at the other. I walked underneath the seesaw. Apparently, the room snakes around the seesaw in the middle. As I walked around the seesaw, I saw that there were several abandoned machinery in this room. It would be a miracle if they even worked. There was another crystal on the wall. On the side that I was on, I saw something else that caught my eye. It was a red crystal lying on the floor. It looked like a red rupee. Of course, I had nothing to place it in. I saw that abandoned on a table was an old money pouch. Inside were a handful of green rupees. I didn't know whose it was, but it looked like it was here for a very, very long time. Having a small amount of money was better than having none at all.
There was another pathway going behind the seesaw, but I had no way to move it. Maybe that crystal could have something. I grabbed by bow and notched an arrow and aimed for the crystal. I fired the arrow, and hit the crystal with a faint 'tink.' The crystal changed colors, as machinery started banging and clicking. The seesaw was slowly moving to the other side. As the seesaw completely moved to the other side, it revealed an ornate chest. I knew inside would be a big key. My suspicions were right as I opened the chest. As I walked back around the seesaw, I saw that the arch was closed. Luckily, there was a hookshot target behind the seesaw. I aimed for the target and went flying to the roof. Of course, as soon as I hit the roof, I fell back down to the floor. When I landed roughly, I realized that this part of the room was flooding with the poisoned water. Quickly, I shot the crystal again, and the seesaw slowly tilted to the other side. As soon as the seesaw started moving, the water was being drained through a grate in the floor. I saw a pool and a block through the grate. This room must be above the other floor I was in. I then walked out the door back into the hall.
At this point, I was confused. I looked at the map again. "Wasn't there supposed to be another door around here?" I asked myself. I looked at the map and at the hall again. I stood where the door was supposed to be and found only ivy. I pushed aside the ivy, and caught a glimpse of wood. I drew my sword and cut the ivy to reveal the missing door. I opened it, and saw a crumbling spiral staircase. This must be the same staircase I climbed up earlier. I grabbed the hookshot, and grappled to the branches that acted as a railing. Before I knew it, I was at the top of the staircase and at a door. In this room was only as staircase going up. I climbed the staircase carefully, and I came up to a huge door locked by chains and a large lock. I jabbed the big key into the lock and the chains fell. As I opened the door, I braced myself for whatever would lurk inside.
