Great Swamp

The Great Swamp is a location in A Link to the Past.

Location

The Great Swamp covers the area just south of Link's House. It is bordered to the east by Lake Hylia and off to the west by the Desert of Mystery. The Great Swamp extends to the northwest and also covers the Haunted Grove region, ending just before the entrance to South Kakariko Village.

Features

The swampy filled area is filled with grass and a wide variety of enemies. There are enemy Crows perched on some of the landmarks, as well as some Blue Archers that are abundant in the northern portion of the swamp. The marshy area makes for a good place for enemy Green Archers, who hide underneath the grass. They will pop up, shoot an arrow, and quickly burrow back underground. Similarly, the Great Swamp is one of the only locations where Link will encounter a Toppo, a rabbit-like enemy that continuously jumps up from underground.
