Ikana Canyon: Difference between revisions

[[Link]] must obtain the [[Garo's Mask]] and speak to the strange figure atop of the canyon cliff. The strange figure is known as the [[Mystery Man]], and he allows Link access to the upper section of the canyon via a small tree that Link can [[Hookshot]] up to. Link soon realises that the main section of the canyon is deserted, and the only beings that reside there are undead [[Gibdo]]s. The only notable inhabitants of the village are [[Pamela]] and her [[Pamela's Father|father]], who reside within the [[Music Box House]]. Link can sneak into the house and play the [[Song of Healing]] to lift the Gibdo curse set on Pamela's Father. This grants Link the [[Gibdo Mask]], which allows him to talk to the undead.{{Ref|MM|133\134}}

To the eastern section of the canyon lies the [[Spring Water Cave]], which has been the cause for the recent drought in the canyon. Link must restore the flow of water by playing the [[Song of Storms]] to the cursed [[Poe]], [[Sharp]]. [[Flat]], Sharp's brother, tells Link that his brother is cursed as he sold his soul to the devil, thus the reason for his evil actions.{{Ref|MM|3132\3133|Flat}} Once the flow of water is restored, it provides power to the Music Box House. With the waterwheel now spinning, a song begins to play from the house called "[[Farewell to Gibdos]]". This magical song causes the undead to sink into the ground, therefore freeing the canyon from evil.{{Ref|MM|3308|Pamela's Father}}  

Link can later travel [[Beneath the Well]], where he obtains the [[Mirror Shield]]. This powerful item allows the young hero to pass through the [[Ancient Castle of Ikana]], to the north of the canyon. Here, Link encounters [[Igos du Ikana]], who teaches him the [[Elegy of Emptiness]], which allows Link to traverse up the treacherous [[Stone Tower]].{{Ref|MM|3258\3259\3260\3261\3262|Igos du Ikana}} The mountainous accent up Stone Tower later leads onto the fourth [[dungeon]] in the game, the [[Stone Tower Temple]].
