Find the Pegasus Boots inside Key Cavern, dungeon three. Richard’s five Golden Leaves quest and the Slime Key open the way in. With the Sword also equipped, a dash breaks crystal-shaped obstacles and helps separate the Slime Eye boss.

The Hookshot belongs to Catfish’s Maw, dungeon five. Its chest is empty because Master Stalfos has taken it; pursue and defeat that mini-boss through the dungeon to recover it. The hook pulls Link toward suitable targets and extends certain bridges.

Ocarina — Dream Shrine

Visit the Dream Shrine in northern Mabe Village once you have the Power Bracelet and Pegasus Boots. Move its entrance rocks, sleep inside, and use the Boots to get through the dream’s obstacles to the Ocarina. Marin can then teach the Ballad of the Wind Fish.
