I had to look up a map to get the GDT dungeon right. It was quite fun to do, describing Link's journey through the dungeon, though I did leave out a few details, unintentionally, but I did completely leave out the Gold Skultullas on purpose.
Chapter 2: The Secrets of the Tree
Link gasped as he entered a huge room that led all the way up to the top of the tree itself. There was a huge hole in the ground, but it was covered with a web. Babas were everywhere. He cautiously edged around them.
"Hey Link! Look over there!" said Navi. She flew over to a wall with vines all over it.
"You could probably climb up these." she said.
Link nodded and climbed up to a platform with a door. A group of aggresive and large spiders on the wall prevented him from going further. He entered the room. A door on the other side was locked. A pile of grass was in the middle.
"Link, be careful of that grass patch. A Deku Scrub is in there. Whenever it spits it's nuts at you-"
Link started giggling.
"Oh shut up." she said, hitting him on the head.
He rubbed the spot.
"Stupid teenaged idiot. Anyway, use your shield to reflect them back at him."
Link edged forward. A small wooden creature peeked out from the ground. It had yellow eyes and a snout that could be made to shoot nuts at people.
It spat one at Link, who whipped out his shield and deflected it. The nut smacked the scrub, which ran out saying, "Please don't hurt me!"
He ran over to the door and unlocked it quickly, then burrowed into the ground.
Link went into it. A chest sat across a gap. The gap had a floating platform in the middle of it.
Link jumped across. The platform fell as he jumped to the other side.
He opened the chest to reveal a slingshot with a bag of small seeds inside.
He picked it up and tested it.
"Yeah, great, but how will we get out of here?" asked Navi.
"With the ladder."
"I beg your pardon?"
Link pointed above the ledge that led to the door. A ladder was caught in the same webbing that covered the hole.
Link shot it with a seed. It dropped free of the webbing.
Link junped into the gap and climbed up it.
He returned to the central room. He shot the spiders, then continued up. He saw a small plank extend from the ledge at the top. He looked at the webbing, then decided to test his theory.
"Link, what are you doing?"
"Breaking the web."
"What?"
Link grabbed Navi and jumped.
Navi screamed as they fell. Link landed on the web. It stretched. For a moment, it didn't seem like it would split.
Then it did. They plummeted a few extra feet, then landed in a pool of water.
Link took in his surroundings. He was in a room with a high ledge on the other end of the room. A torch was lit on one end of the room. A web blocked off a door. Link couldn't reach the other side of the room, so he grabbed the torch and burned the webbing away, then returned it.
He went inside. A Deku Scrub patch was in the ground. He quickly reflected the nut. It again ran around saying, "Don't hurt me!"
He explained to Link that Queen Gohma, the creature in the Deku Tree, was guarded by his brothers. He said to defeat his brothers in the order 2-3-1. Twenty-three is number one. Then he disappeared.
He entered a room with a spike pole trap in the center. It had water underneath it. He saw a switch in the water and a platform floating by it.
He jumped in, pushed the switch, and got on the platform. The water level lowered through a drain. Link got on the platform and rowed it to the other side and entered the door.
He was in a tunnel and it led to a tunnel he could crawl into. He crawled into it and it led him to the high ledge he couldn't reach. He saw a small block and pushed it down to provide a way up. He grabbed the torch from earlier that was in the wall and climbed back up. Another hole with a web in it was in the middle of the higher ledge's floor.
He burned it away and jumped in. He saw three patches of grass and remembered the advice.
"2-3-1 Link!" shouted Navi as he ran to the one in the middle and defeated it. Then he defeated the third, then the first. They all ran away. He entered the door that revealed itself with their defeat.
It led to a dark and foggy room with four pillars.
He heard a noise from the roof, then saw dust fall from it. He looked up.
A spider-esque creature hung from the ceiling, looking at him with a beady yellow eye.
It jumped down and menaced him.
Link took out his slingshot and shot a seed at it's eye. It let out a howl of pain, but not before Link managed to stick his sword in the eye.
The beast let out a roar. It began to turn black as it died.
Then it's body fell apart. It's eye was left. Link pulled the blade free, wiped it on the ground, and watched as a blue circle appeared on the ground.
Link stepped into it.
He felt himself be lifted out of the tree and appear in front of it.
"Thou hast done well, Link. It is time for thou to hear thine quest."
R&R.
