Goponga Swamp: Difference between revisions

'''Goponga Swamp''' is a desolate area in the northwestern region of [[Koholint Island]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]''. Filled with [[Goponga Flower]]s and [[Fin Piranha]]s, the only safe way to traverse this area early in the game is to rescue [[Bow-Wow]] from the nearby [[Moblin Hideout]].

After obtaining the [[Eight Instruments of the Sirens#Full Moon Cello|Full Moon Cello]] at the end of [[Tail Cave]], a mysterious voice tells [[Link]] to head to the swamp.<ref>{{Cite|LA|324|Voice}}</ref> The [[Owl]] tells him the same thing soon after, explaining that the next instrument is in the swamp.<ref>{{Cite|LA|216|Owl}}</ref> However, when Link heads back to [[Mabe Village]], two [[Island Quadruplets|children]] frantically tell him that something happened at [[Madam MeowMeow]]'s house.<ref>{{Cite|LA|511|Children}}</ref> She reveals  that her pet Bow-Wow was kidnapped by the [[King Moblin]].<ref>{{Cite|LA|293|Madam MeowMeow}}</ref> Link heads to the Moblin Hideout and defeats the King Moblin, rescuing Bow-Wow. Madam MeowMeow asks him then to take Bow-Wow for a walk.<ref>{{Cite|LA|294|Madam MeowMeow}}</ref> Bow-Wow can eat the flowers in the Goponga Swamp, which allows Link to finally traverse the dangerous landscape and open a path into the second [[dungeon]], [[Bottle Grotto]].

The main attraction of Goponga Swamp is the second dungeon of the game: Bottle Grotto. Situated in the northeast, Bottle Grotto is surrounded by flowers that must be consumed by Bow-Wow before Link can enter.
