Fairies' Woods

The Fairies' Woods is a location found within the Present of Oracle of Ages. The Woods are located southwest of Lynna City and are only accessible after Link has acquired the Power Bracelet from Spirit's Grave. The Woods are only found in the Present, as its Past equivalent is the Deku Forest.

Features

When Link first enters the Fairies' Woods, he will quickly meet up with the Prankster Fairies. These mischievous fairies have rearranged the forest and turned it into a game of Hide n' Seek. The Woods share many characteristics of the Lost Woods from several other Zelda titles. The Forest is not in a particular order and the screens represent a maze, where Link must go in specific directions to reach particular areas of the Woods. From where Link first encounters the Prankster Fairies, he can reach the three fairies by going in the following directions.

• Blue Fairy – Walk Up, Down, Up, and then lift the rock to find the first fairy. Walk to the right to get back to the starting point.
• Red Fairy – Walk Right, then Left, and slash the bush at the bottom-left to find the second fairy. Walk to the right to get back to the starting point.
• Orange Fairy – Walk Right, then Down, and slash the bottom bush to find the third fairy.

When all three Prankster Fairies have been found, they will set the Woods back in order, allowing Link to gain access to the Wing Dungeon located just to the east. However, when Link goes to enter the dungeon, it will collapse to the ground. In order to progress further, Link will need to head to the Deku Forest in the Past, where the Wing Dungeon still stands sturdy.

Later in the quest, after completing the Moonlit Grotto, returning to Lynna City, and making your way to the Nuun Highlands, Link will once again encounter a Prankster Fairy. One if Links Animal Companions has been lost within the Fairies' Woods. Once you reenter the Woods, Link will need to follow the fairy to where he previously played Hide N' Seek with the Prankster Fairies. In order to find your animal companion go down, up, down, and up a screen. Speak with your animal companion and you'll then be taken back to just outside the forest. The animal companion that Link finds will be dependent on whether he has acquired a Strange Flute and which one he got.

There is a Treasure Chest at the east end of the Fairies' Woods that can be accessed from the southeast corner of the Woods. Link will need Roc's Feather to jump over to this treasure chest and he can open it to get 50 Rupees.

Enemies

The east portion of the Fairies' Woods is filled with Octoroks as well as a few Red Moblins. The west portion of the of the Fairies' Woods is free of any enemies.
