Woodfall Temple: Difference between revisions

The '''Woodfall Temple''' is the first [[dungeon]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. It is situated in the region of [[Woodfall]] to the south of [[Termina]]. More specifically, it is located within the similarly named [[Woodfall (Location)|Woodfall]], which is swamp filled crater hidden deep within the [[Southern Swamp]]. Once Link enters Woodfall, he can stand on the Deku Altar with a [[Deku Scrub]] marked on it, and play the [[Sonata of Awakening]]. This results in the dungeon rising from the poisoned water. Link can then squeeze into the [[Deku Flower]] and fly to the dungeon. Once entered, Link is required to use the [[Deku Mask]] to traverse through the many puzzles and traps.  

The Woodfall Temple is said to have a dreadful smell and is made up of a stone like structure filled with poisoned water, however, the main theme of the dungeon is predominantly a forest theme. Furthermore, Link in time ventures to the [[Mini-Boss]]es of the Woodfall Temple, firstly [[Dinolfos]]. Once defeated, Link can claim the [[Hero's Bow]]. Link later encounters the second Mini-Boss of the Woodfall Temple, the [[Gekko]], who later calls on [[Snapper (Majora's Mask)|Snapper]], which he then rides on. When defeated, Link claims the [[Boss Key]]. Link can then navigate to the Boss of the Woodfall Temple, [[Odolwa]], the tribe warrior who holds a giant machete and shield. When Link has defeated him, he can acquire a [[Heart Container]]. Also, after completion, a small cutscene takes place with one of the [[Four Giants]], in which Link has now saved. Subsequently, this leads to the freeing of the [[Deku Princess]] and the poisonous waters of the swamp clear.  

Odolwa is the main boss of the Woodfall Temple and he is responsible for the kidnapping of the Deku Princess as well as one of the Four Giants, in which Link must awaken. Upon entering, the Masked Warrior drops from the ceiling and approachs the young hero. Odolwa towers over Link and he wields a giant shield as well as a dangerous sword, which he uses to both defend and attack Link. His main attacks are predominantly with his sword, however, Odolwa also summons a range of enemies and a wall of fire. Since Odolwa has a variety of movements, Link has to pick carefully on when to choose to attack, he must wait till Odolwa's guard is down and strike him with the Bow. Once struck, Odolwa is stunned for a brief period allowing Link to attack. After finally defeating Odolwa, Link receives a [[Heart Container]] and [[Odolwa's Remains|Mask]], containing the remains of the evil Jungle Warrior.
