Template:Location

Spool Swamp is a location in Oracle of Seasons. It is located at the far western side of Holodrum. Link will journey to the Spool Swamp on his way to the third dungeon, Poison Moth's Lair. If Link has acquired the appropriate Strange Flutes, he will encounter Moosh and Dimitri here for the first the time. Depending on which Animal Companion Link has, he will need to navigate the Swamp along a different path.

Location

The Spool Swamp is located along the western portion of Holodrum. Despite its large land area, there are only two entrances to this region, both coming from the Holodrum Plain to the east. The entrance at the north can be accessed by land, while the entrance to the south is only accessible by water. Though there are no direct pathways connecting the regions, the Lost Woods and Tarm Ruins border the Spool Swamp to the north, while the Graveyard and the Western Coast border to the south.

Features

When Link first enters the Spool Swamp, the very first thing he will find is a Mystical Tree. This is a Pegasus Tree that gives off Pegasus Seeds during the season of Autumn. Using Pegasus Seeds will allow Link to run at a faster speed for a short period of time. Pegasus are required items that are utilized shortly within the Spool Swamp.


In the southwestern section there is also a portal to Subrosia. Above from here is where Link will find Moosh, Dimitri, or Ricky. After Link joins up with one of the animal friends he is able to reach the portal to Subrosia.

In the Spring the swamp water becomes rapids and his hard to maneuver unless Link has Dimitri as an animal friend, otherwise Link will be unable to control where he is going and will be pulled along the rapids. If this is done with Dimitri Link will be able to obtain the Piece of Heart.

Golden Octorok in Spool Swamp.

During Link's quest, he can meet an Old Man located one screen south of Gnarled Root Dungeon. He is found during the Summer when the water has receded, revealing a staircase. As soon as Link speaks with the Old Man, this triggers the side quest to acquiring the Red Ring. Four Golden Beasts will appear throughout the Overworld. One of these beasts is the Golden Octorok and it will appear at the southwest corner of the Spool Swamp.

The Golden Octorok is a significantly stronger version of a standard Octorok. Since it is only encountered during Summer, and the default season is Autumn, Link will have to use the Tree Stump located south of the Poison Moth's Lair to change the season.

The dungeon is located at the northwest corner of the Swamp and it is only accessible by climbing up some vines during Summer. Inside the dungeon, Link will acquire the Roc's Feather, which gives him the ability to jump over small gaps. Link will battle with the mini-boss in the form of the Omuai and the dungeon boss Mothula. As a reward, Link will get a full Heart Container as well as the third Essence of Nature, the Bright Sun.
