Lord Jabu-Jabu was disgusting on the outside, but even more so on the outside. We had to walk through a puddle of spit. I saw a switch on the roof of his mouth, atleast, I think it was a switch. It was long and yellow and hung down. I hit it with my slingshot anyway, and the weird web on the door ahead was removed. I helped Saria go through, although it was hard without touching her arm or body. The next room had a path on it, and a door we couldn't reach. An electric jellyfish was hovering in the air, very slowly to us. Since it was slow, we just ran past it and onto the next room. It had a bunch of weird holes in the bottom, while examining the holes, I looked up, and saw a young female Zora.
As soon as I walked up to her, she demanded, "You! Who are you?! I am Ruto, Princess of the Zoras." I explained to her about her father wanting her to be rescued. "What?!" she said, in seemingly disbelief, "Are you saying my father asked you to come here to save me? I'd never ask anyone to do such a thing!" I tried again, this time about the letter in the bottle. Her response, "Letter in a Bottle? I have no idea what you're talking about!" I decided to try one more time. I told her that King Zora was worried. She shot back, "I don't care! Anyway, I can't go home right now. And you...Get out of here! Understand?!" Completely irradiated, she walking right into one of those holes and fell in. Groaning, I asked Saria if she was ready for a fall. She nodded. I held her tight and jumped in. I turned myself to make sure that I landed and that Saria just landed on me.
I got up and saw Ruto, still perfectly mad and fine. I also saw some electric jellyfish floating our way. I didn't think it was a good idea to just slash them. I kept bugging Ruto until she had enough. She said that she would give me the "honor" of carrying her but she wouldn't leave without the thing she was looking for. Awesome. Saria's injured, and I have to carry around a brat. Seeing no other way, I picked the surprisingly light Ruto up. Saria stood up and said, "Don't worry about me, you carry her and make sure she is safe. Let me do everything else." I wanted to argue, but it would just be pointless. Navi said, "Over here." We went through the next door. The next passage, which was very meaty looking, was covered in these strange bubbles. I asked Navi about them. She said, "They are Shaboms. None of your weapons will do any good on them, just dodge them" Easier said than done. I tried being careful, but there were too many. One hit and exploded on me skin. It was like a spray of pain of my skin. I fell over and the other bubbles seem to join along. They all began to bounce and float towards me. Of course, when I fell, so did Ruto. She got pissed but got out of the way. I tried stand up but they were so close now that they would all explode. I heard another one pop and Saria fairy flying around rapidly. The bubbles ignored me and went after her. I began to head back for Ruto, but Saria was holding her and told me to run. All 5 of us managed to make it out of there.
On the next section, there was this shallow pool in the middle and land on the other side. Saria tossed Ruto into my arms on the land. Saria then pressed down a switch to increase the water level temporarily. She swam across to us and got back on land. I wondered why she didn't just climb, if she had strength to swim, surely she could climb. However, she answered my question without me asking, "I do feel better, I just wanted the water to wash off the blood." We went into the next room and onto this elevating piece of meat. While riding it up, I couldn't but notice Ruto. She had breasts. They were small and nipple less, but still there. Does every creature in Hyrule get to grow up and become true adults when the Kokiri are stuck being kids?
We reached the top and traveled back to the room with holes. We ran across into these passages that had electric worms in them. We turned right and saw and an exit was blocked by a smiley thing. There was a nearby switch, I jumped and pressed it down, opening another door. We went in and I set Ruto down. The exit behind us had been blocked but we saw nothing. Sarai said, "I hear something, it's very faint." She stepped to the middle of the room. Suddenly, Navi cried, "Stinger!" It looked like a little mantis ray. It flew into the air and dived at Saria, successfully hitting her. She fell back, only to have more Stingers arise from the ground. I took out my slingshot and began to fire at them. It was quite easily, the floor bounced so Saria would bounce around, causing the Stingers to fly up and I would finish them off. Afterwards, a chest appeared, containing a boomerang. We went back and across the passage. We found a switch that just wouldn't stay pressed down. I left Ruto on it with Saria to keep her company.
A very large tongue looking thing hung from the ceiling. How could I destroy that? Navi pointed out a weak spot. I stood back and tried my slingshot, but it did nothing. Then I remembered my new boomerang. I tossed it, but it just wouldn't reach in my safe spot. I had no choice but to run forward. I went forward and tossed my boomerang. It hit and caused the thing to flinch, so I tossed it again. This went on for a while, until I missed and the thing hit me and slammed me against a fleshy wall. However, I recovered pretty quickly and threw the boomerang again. Striking for the final time, the tongue fell off and died. I was surprised at how easy that was. Everything I had done up to this point had been very difficult. Navi told me, "You are learning." I looked at her and nodded. Before going back to the room, I told her, "Navi, thank you for everything. I'm sorry about being a jerk before..." Navi nodded and replied, "You are growing up very fast, I'm proud of you." I smiled a little bit, glad I was making peace with my fairy.
We went back into the room. From the quietness of it, Ruto and Saria didn't get along well. I picked Ruto up and we went down a different passage. Navi interrupted, "The red slimy thing is gone! That must be because you cute the red tail! Will that work with the other ones too?" We went in and there was another tail. I quickly got rid of it and we went down the final passage. It contained another tail, only green and some jellyfish. Easily gotten rid of. Saria said she remembered seeing a green thing in the hole room. So we went back and fell through the hole. We went down along a passage and into another room. It was completely empty for for a platform in the middle...and a shining blue stone in the center.
Before we could cry anything, Ruto spoke first. She thrashed about in my arms and exclaimed, "That's it! That's what I've been looking for! Throw me up there! Onto the platform!" To make her stop hitting me, I just tossed her up there. She ran over, and held it up. Like the other stones, it was beautiful. Three blue stones were about it, being held togethering by what it looked like, a golden fine. So fragile...I hoped Ruto realized that. She looked back at us, with a big grin on her face, "O my goodness! I finally found..My mother's stone... I got very upset when Lord Jabu-Jabu swallowed it...While I was feeding him, he suddenly swalled me! I was so surprised I dropped it inside..." Her bossy attitude then returned, "But, now that I've found it, I don't need to be in here anymore! So, take me home, right now!" Sighing and just wanting to leave, I began to leap unto the platform. Suddenly, the platform rose, a Zora scream was heard, and an octopus was lured down.
It leapt off and began to chase us around the platform, which now had blades on it and spinning. The wetness of the water below our feet kept making us slip. Saria suddenly slipped. No! The octopus would trample her! Without thinking, I threw my boomerang at it. It froze and made me freeze. Then it jumped back to life. It spun around, throwing Saria against the blades and in turn, the blades threw her against the wall. The octopus began running again. I chased after it, tossing my boomerang. It froze then spun around. I managed to roll behind it after it spun and boomeranged him. There had to be a weak spot. Now that I could see it from behind, I saw a very big shiney looking thing on his butt. I jump slashed it. The octopus squeeled and spun around, taking me by surprise. He slammed me against the wall then turned around. Your not escaping. I threw the boomerang again and he froze. I ran up and slashed the button again. Instead of spinning he disappeared into the water somehow. I looked around, then he appeared underneath me and knocked me into the air. I felt very weak but now I was on the spinning platform. I threw my boomerang to freeze him, then ran up to do a jump slash. But of course, it had to go out with a bang. It squeeled and spun around knocking me back onto the platform, then it rolled over and died.
I got up, feeling very weak and like I had been beaten with some uncooked dough. I saw Saria rising from the corner she had hid in. Before I could take another step, the platform rose up. We were now seperated. I tried to get the platform to go down again, but nothing worked. I jumped on it, and slashed it with my sword. Nothing worked. Navi said, "We should just keep moving forward, there is no way back down." I reluctantly agreed and moved ahead. The next room had two strange...square things wobbling around. I hit them with my boomerang, jumped on them and moved on. The next room had nothing but a platform. After hopping on it, it fell down, to connect to the 2nd room of Lord Jabu-Jabu. It connected to a locked door and a switch. It looked like the same one that wouldn't stay down without weight on it. I told Lord Jabu-Jabu I was sorry; then I cut off some meat from a wall and used it to keep the switch down. In the next room, Navi said the evil presence was near. I looked around and saw a locked door nearby. A switch was above on the ceiling. I shot it with my slingshot and it unlocked the next door. I looked back, I didn't want to leave Saria. However, I had no choice.
Within the next room, a very odd looking creature with jelly fish surrounding it nested there. It looked like a mutated stomach to me, then Navi said, "Bio-Electric Anemone: Barinade...aim for it's soft belly" I found it impossible since every inch of it was covered with jelly fish. I saw some of it's arms look at me. I jumped out of the way just in time. A deadly beam of electricity shot from the arms. I spent a while, draining my stamina jumping out of the way of the lightning. Until, I noticed the very same weak spot on the weird tongues, were on the arms of this monster. I managed to successfully sever the arms with my boomerang while jumping around. The thing was unrooted now. It jumped up and began to spin around, flinging it's attached jellyfish everywhere. A jellyfish hit me and knocked me over. My insides began to hurt because of the major surge of electricity. Navi warned, "Don't get hit again! It is very dangerous and 2 more hits could kill you!" Nice warning, I got up and got slammed again. The shocks went through my body and made it hurt even worse. But I did not sit there like last time. I leapt up and rolled forward, dodging the swirling jellyfish. I hit the body with my boomerang and attacked like a mad beast with my sword. However, I stayed too long. It popped up again and smacked my mouth. I fell back, pretty glad it did hit me. It had another set of jellyfish attatched. If the body hadn't hit me back, I would be dead right now from the electrical shock. I swallowed the blood that was forming in my mouth.
Adrenaline set in. I felt my blood pumping and my feet moving. Pain no longer existed. I was ready for it. Barinade was just spinning about, perfectly protected by it's jellyfish buddies. Enough of that. I stayed a distance from it and threw my boomerang like crazy. It kept bouncing off the shield of monsters. Until...my boomerang found a hole and had hit the body. The thing fell down into the ground, were I couldn't reach it's body. The jellyfish were now spread out and weak. I took the chance and began to destroy them with my new found friend, the boomerang. They all were vanquished. Having no defense left, it rose from the ground and began to spin and try to hit me. Easy. I flung the boomerang to make it stop spinning and I attacked and attacked with my sword. I became so ruthless that it died then, having no chance to rise again. It stood up rigid and began to get these grotesque boils on it, before exploding and dying. With it's death and the blue portal's appearance, I fell down. The adrenaline rush was gone. My insides were so sore, not to mention I had used all my energy.
I then felt somebody helping me up, it was Saria. She had gone back and had gone through it to catch up to me. She lifted me and dragged me to the blue portal. Princess Ruto was standing there, with a sour puss look on her face. To be honest, I completely forgot about her. She got mad at us for being so late and how she was just a "little" lonely. The portal's magic worked on us. I felt a lot better and recharged. All 5 of us then floated upward and away.
I couldn't tell were we were at first, but having Ruto's face in mine scared me and I fell into the water. After looking around, we were in Zora's Fountain. She leapt in and swam up to me. She took a good look at my face and said, "You! You looked cool..cooler than I thought you would, anyway...Just a little!" She had a slight grin on her face, "Well, anyway, you saved me, so I guess I'll reward you. What do you wish? Just tell me..." I told her I wanted the Spirutal Stone of Water. Ruto looked at me, "Zora's Sapphire? My mother gave it to me and said I should give it only to the man who will be my husband. You might call it the Zora's Engagement Ring!" I began to panic and quickly explain our mission, but she interrupted. "All right! I'll give you my most precious possession: Zora's Sapphire!" while swimming backwards a bit. I then found the shining blue stone in my hands. It was so cool and clean despite being in a whale for years. Saria and I swam up to her and thanked her, she grinned and made us promise to not tell her father. Ok, simple enough.
"Oh Link!!" Saria exclaimed while throwing her arms around me. "We've gotten all 3 spiritual stones! Do you know what this means!?" she went on, very excited. I too was excited, "Yeah, we will get the Triforce and stop Ganondorf!" Saria's fairy was bouncing everywhere and Navi said, "Well, why are we just swimming around? To Hyrule Castle, to Princess Zelda!!"
